Almost done with FF7 Rebirth.

I learned to hate Ray Tracing from this game, because it made the game designers go completely stupid. Like, literally. The light-to-dark transistions in rooms, caves and such is AWFUL. Some parts of the game are literally unplayable because someone - probably an exec - fapped one too many times about raytracing. This is, by far, the worst implementation that I have seen of it. Genuely brutal.

And, mini-game-hell. x.x I do love a fair amount of mini games, but at some point they become nothing but a restriction nightmare that saps the fun out of them for no reason. Same goes for later colloseum fights. Like, who the fuck thought doing an Aerith solo fight was a good idea? She got nerfed into oblivion compared to the first game...

It is still a great and fun game, but last night I really just wanted to throw my controller at the wall because not just did I have to peal apart my nice generic setup, overthrow all the concepts for the characters, but also put the game on easy, and develop a strat JUST for this ONE "fight" that I can now forget forever because it will never be needed again.

Some decisions made in and for this game are utter brainrot. x.x
