lol no. Starfield was exactly that- an Skyrim /fallout set in space with better looking gfx with the same dated gameplay and I was very disappointed with that. Gaming, especially rpg genre has advanced a lot in the last decade and I hope the next es game is more modern in approach wrt gameplay and I seriously hope it doesn’t retain the dated mechanics of either Skyrim or fallout !

Thanks, although I’ve read so much and watched so many yt videos on the topic, hearing from actual ppl with ‘skin in the game’ like you said is always interesting. BTW, how much is the love/passion to money ratio among the co founders where you’re working? I’ve always read that if money is the primary motive one tends to give up sooner than later especially when the going gets tough! Also perhaps why I’ve never taken the leap, haven’t found any such subject which I’m so passionate about (sufficient enough to give up a day job and dedicate a majority of my waking hours towards) !

Anyone here a startup founder/entrepreneur ? Was watching shark tank (India) and every season gives me so much of energy and motivation to start something of my own, but once the season ends I just forget about it and shift the focus back to my corporate job lol 😂 If there are any entrepreneurs here, curious as to know what’s the daily grind like 🧐 ? And what exactly motivated to take the leap into the startup world ?

I still have this game sitting in my steam backlog. Had tried it once and left it after the first enemy encounter in that open area. I felt the game was too open and was not sure what should I do as there were no quest markers or don’t remember if I missed something. Plan to get to it someday. BTW, is it much more difficult than bloodborne ? That’s the only souls game I’ve completed so far !

Woah, the chapter 9 final colosseum fight - hell house, was the stuff of legends! Never faced a boss like this before lol 😂 Took me a long time to defeat it though. Surprised to see the chapter still continues and this is still not the end boss fight of the chapter. The wall market is really well done. The best open area in the game so far ! Also, while many parts of the game is linear, it does look to be a pretty long game, need a break after this before I can start another FF game.

That’s a relief will probably start ff16 after ff7:remake is completed. Or maybe play something else in between and will then get back to FF World ! Coming back to this game, while I love the combat, story and the cut scenes (almost movie grade) , what stands out (imo) is the music. It’s so soothing at times ,I feel that just playing this game after a long day is a big stress buster despite the difficult boss fights at the end of every chapter ! Also they could’ve made it a bit open, the game is way too linear for a jrpg. I mean, I can’t even go back and grind some more to prepare better and the only option is to just lower the difficulty or keep changing tactics/swap materia !

Currently Playing : Final fantasy 7 - Remake : ps5 The man who erased his name : PC House of ashes : PS5 All amazing games in their own right !!

i purchased it on a discount offer sometime back after reading all the glowing reviews !

Completed chapter 7 yesterday, the end boss fight was brutal ! Unlike other jrpgs this game doesn’t give an option to grind and there was no option to go back and get stronger lol 😂 BTW, are all these FF games related ? For ex can I play ff16 after this and play ff7:rebirth later ?

Bump! So started playing this some few weeks back on ps5 (it’s on ps extra, so why not ?! ). Anyway, loving the gameplay which is a good mix of turn based and real time action. In chapter 7 now, and I’m surprised how linear the game has become all of a sudden ! While I'm currently liking the linear design with brilliant cut scenes, I'm hoping it’ll open up again after a few more chapters. Also being a jrpg , I was expecting lot of grinding but this is playing just like any other action rpg ! If any of you still remember, any idea what’s the use of those purple materia and how to use it correctly? I’ve one auto cure equipped but it doesn’t work and I’ve to keep using potions in between which is a real annoyance

I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with going abroad, it’s individual choice and of course it’s good to explore different cultures. But he seemed pretty dejected, hence I was saying India has good opportunities these days too and not getting a US Visa isn’t the end of the world !!

Why do you want to go to US so desperately? I could understand this fascination with on-site/US some 10-15 years before. But now India itself offers so many opportunities. At least in the tech field the salary you get in the Bigtech/MNC companies are really good relative to the cost of living in India. I feel these days in US, the salary relative to the cost of living in cities like SF/Seattle/NY is just not worth all the hassle !

Nothing beats gaming on the couch. I can be done with consoles when the laptops are powerful enough to be connected to TV in the living room ! Even though I’ve a decent enough pc, a chair - no matter how ergonomic is no match for a good sofa !

Completed the game (main quest & many of the side quests) on my ps5 few days back, excellent game. On PC all those samurai duels would look fantastic I guess !!

I’m playing on ps5, whatever the version is on ps extra, is that intergrade?

Interesting, so ff7: remake is not really a complete remake of the old game. That itself looked like a pretty long game to me considering it’s a jrpg. Guess the sequel will have to wait until next year or discount. Even that ronin game looks good from previews so far, so many games to play so little time !!

I just started with ff7 remake since out was on ps+ extra, still in chapter 3. Is that like a prequel to this ? Or is this the gfx enhanced version of ff7: remake ?

I bought sifu on discount sometime back on egs. Maybe my age is acting up but I found it to be quite hard and my hands used to literally ache after some 30 mins of playing. Uninstalled it somewhere mid way or before the mid way point and never got back to it.

Saw couple of oscar winning movies, surprised to see that Sony Liv has a decent collection of movies : - The Help (Sony Liv): Drama depicting the life of black house maids set around the era of segregation in the Deep South (Mississipi). I think everyone played their roles to perfection, but I felt the performance of Bryce Dallas Howard (as the main antagonist) eclipsed everybody else's. I think she deserved it more than Octavia spencer (who won the award for best supp actress eventually). - Green Book (Sony Liv) : Stars Viggo Mortensen and Mahershrala Ali, I mean what could go wrong ! Again, set around the segregation era, it's apparently inspired by the true story of a black musician who tours the deep south with an Italian bodyguard/driver to protect him. Watching the above movies, I can understand to some extent on the popular inclusive culture trend thats ongoing in the US (often regarded as woke culture by some) and the intense protests like the black lives matter movements. I think those guys have suffered a lot through the ages (despite being in a first world country).

Got it thanks 👍

Thanks !
