I write a gaming blog to pencil down and evoke my feelings about video games.

Life has gotten in the way recently so I haven’t been writing as much. I went into #thegameawards as a way of unwinding but sadly I was left disappointed.

Video Game Physical Guides Were The Original DLC

With the rise of the internet these days you don’t tend to see many physical guides anymore but when I was younger most major releases had a guide you could buy. With websites like GameFAQs and many media outlets information that was typically found in guides being provided for free online the need for physical book guides has dwindled entirely. Furthermore, games generally guide you through the game a lot more than they used to so even needing to find a guide is more reserved for completionism or being stuck on a puzzle for the most part. More on this later.
Sorry this is later than planned. Life got in the way, hope you enjoy this trailer breakdown of #FinalFantasyVIIRebirth. #Gaming

Back with a snappy article about how #FinalFantasyXVI is linear like XIII
Medium: https://pixelparables.medium.com/final-fantasy-xvi-is-linear-like-xiii-22717a80821f
One of the biggest criticisms people had with Final Fantasy XIII was how linear it was because, for a large chunk of the game, you are being introduced to new game mechanics so it can feel like you are stuck in a tutorial for a long time. There isn’t the ability to explore the areas much as it’s all just literal corridors designed to make you keep going straight. I am someone who enjoys Final Fantasy XIII a lot but I don’t think the linearity is the issue with that game, I believe the storytelling is. It relies a lot on the data log to fill in the blanks because the cutscenes don’t do a good job of explaining the story. Then again I am biased because I prefer games with linear, well-done stories rather than games that have a lot of breadth but all too often don’t have much depth. Even if they do have a lot of depth, chances are due to the volume of content most players won’t see it so I question the need for it other than for marketing purposes. That being said I do understand the need for these games sometimes because not everyone can buy lots of games and so buying one huge game that lasts a long time has value to people. I know it did to me in earlier parts of my life.
Playing #Venba was incredibly complex, emotive and reflective for me.

The series has been pushing towards action combat for a while but I think that has always been the developer's dream.
