It feels like gaslighting to make you think you're alone in your opinions and actually dunkey liked the games he's just making a funny video. Even in his re-review for Death Stranding he still ultimately admits it's a dumb flawed game. But that first review feels as honest and spot on as it can get.

In reality, for the most part, his serious videos and his sarcastic videos are very different from each other (I mean he even has a playlist for "serious videos") and even in the ones that mix both, he literally uses a comedy voice when he's telling jokes.

As someone who didn’t play the original game I went from, “oh this is pretty cool, I like the combat and it has an okay story”, to “WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON!?” once I got to the last 3 hours of the game, and then I sat there confused trying to figure out if this was the first part of the original or the full thing

[@thewarmwind6171]

The original had some very real issues, but it had a cohesive and engaging story. It's one of my favourite video games of all time. Everything I've heard makes me feel secure in the decision to not play the new one. Highly recommend you play the original and/or try to ignore the new release. You'll be far saner for it.

[@jonathanlagace7974]

From what I recall, at the very end of this Part 1 remake they add some stuff that wasn’t in the original. It felt like part vague foreshadowing, part tech demo as potentially a demonstration of how those Weapon (Emerald Weapon, Ruby Weapon, etc) fights might be done in future installments, and part nonsensical stuff which it’s hard to say if it’s new nonsense or foreshadowing of some of the bizarro shit that occurs in the later disks of the original FF7. So yeah, it’s understandable.

[@fearingalma1550]

@@jonathanlagace7974 The last moments of the game read to me like a statement of intent: Sephiroth tricks Cloud and company into basically *killing fate.* The writers are saying: "Things won't necessarily play out the same way this time." I only kept up with the reveal of Zack's survival of the end of Crisis Core because I've wiki walked for fun before playing, so a lot of people that are jumping in for the first time might be really, REALLY lost for this. There really wasn't any other way to end the story where it was, and provide a satisfying conclusion to the first part, it's narratively tricky to break the game up in such a way. But imagine trying to build the entire 3 disk PSX original at full HD scale. There's not enough dev time in the world, not enough assets in the world, to push out something so massive on one disc, one game. It's why RPGs kinda suck now- they were at their best when the standards of detail weren't so high. We could lose ourselves in worlds, but now the standards are so high for immersion that just rendering a town takes 50 GB of assets. That said, I *loved* this remake. The combat is tight and satisfying, Cloud has some nice development even without the full reveal of his backstory, and the writing is hilarious and serious when it has to be. I'm looking forward to Part 2 immensely. That said, I also don't have the love affair with the original the way a lot of others did, I played about 20 hours of FFVII PSX. Still need to finish it.

[@ppicci]

@@fearingalma1550 finally a comment that actually makes sense! this game is wonderful and people throwing shit at it are just a bunch of gatekeepers. the soundtrack has been wonderfully rearranged and I loved it, they even put some serious efforts into the electronics tracks, they are so well made and enjoyable. gameplay is fun and has been polished while still maintaining some old mechanics. graphics is breathtaking and it runs amazingly on PS4 (played it on pro) considering the hardware. and let's finally talk about the so controversial plot, narratively wise they made a genius move with that fate thing (wanna keep it vague to avoid spoilers), it is a REMAKE in every sense and way possible and to me that is a really smart move, we just gotta see what square's intentions are for the next chapters. last thing I agree on what you said about how massive and difficult it would be to transpose the whole old game to the new one, I'm upset too about the pricings honestly but the disc thing kinda makes sense and the first part of the game honestly already felt like a complete game with tons of hours of quality and fun content, it even has some good replay value! I'm tired of arguing and debating with dunkey fanboys and gatekeepers repeating his shitty points :/ it honestly felt like a good anime and it made me laugh too, never experienced any cringey moment people were bitching about and those "anime grunts" make sense if we think about Cloud's character and personality, I think people forgot he's a kid in an adult world whom has been in coma for 5 years.

The FF7 remake reminds me of Star Wars sequel trilogy or Rebuild of Evangelion. They start out trying to retell the story, and eventually it becomes a meta-commentary about how infinitely profound it is to be a fan of this one thing from decades ago. It's not that they make changes, changes are fine. It's that for every change, there's all this meta self awareness built in about how incredible it is that they changed something, and how infinitely rich the story is as a result. These franchises are collapsing under the weight of their own fandoms, who at this point are the creatives. Good media experiences come from people who have interesting life experiences and imaginations and intellectual histories. If you hand over Star Wars to groups of people whose entire life experience is "being a star wars fan", you get a movie about the meaning of being a star wars fan. That's what FF7 remake feels like.

holy fuck this is like the best comparision. Im only half way thru the Rebuilds but I somewhat know that they change shit for some reason. Maybe it will be good because ive heard a lot of praise for the last movie but holy shit does 7R suffer from this exact issue. I'd REALLY be interested if this was done to a story or a game which wasnt good or successful tho. Like doing the "changing something because its cool and it makes the story interesting" to a pre-existing bad story, that would be really interesting to see. but doing it to 7 which was a fine story to begin with, is just strange to me. like at this point the stakes are less of "Whoah whats gonna happen in the story next?" and more of a "Whoah what are they gonna change to show how profound it is to change the story". Im so fucking glad i went and played the OG after 7R because itd be really sad to go thru the story of 7 thru 7R trilogy as a newcomer.. Its also a stupid ass argument of "Fans have already played 7, so its cool to change stuff because everyone already knows the story" when FF7 is the most milked game in the studio's entire catalogue and has 20 games and a grey ass movie attached to it which means the fans will literally eat up anything with the ff7 logo attached to it which means remaking the original story would still sell millions.

It couldve gone worse, but she can always reconnect with those around her that she lost touch with. Instea of draging em down.

@@jackalplays5178 true, but she could have done that at the beginning.

In the original, Jesse's death (along with Biggs and Wedge) is emotional despite the player not really interacting with them much. Barret has several outbursts of rage and outbursts of despair, with Cloud and Tifa trying to calm him down. In the remake Cloud wants a pizza

[@vincentgraymore]

In the Remake, you have literal time cops watching a terrorist bleed out and ensuring that she does during what is supposed to be a heartfelt moment. They would with force drag Cloud and Tifa away if they tried to heal her, and it stands to reason that they would toss her off the pillar is she survived on her own (like how they toss Wedge off the Shinra building way to late). I don't get how that is supposed to inspire the same immersion as the OG had about death being sudden and might take a while to realize what actually happened. We also saw history undone as well as someone survived an impossible situation, so it feels surreal in comparison to the OG.

[@vedaryan334]

It's not even the line itself that's bad. Itself a reference I think, but the voice acting doesn't do it justice like at all, even if cloud is supposed to be awkward. It should be more like Ryan Gosling and less Keanu Reeves

[@hamachibeans4471]

@@vedaryan334 I now get what they were going for with the pizza line, obviously it supposed to inspire hope and be lighthearted like “you’ll make it through this and get me that pizza”. Movies and stuff do that all the time, but the voice actor for cloud took bad acting to an art form like the room or some shit. It’s not that it sounded like he was reading off a script, cause he put a hint of emotion into it, but the emotion he put in was fuckin annoyance. He sounded genuinely ticked off he wasn’t getting his pizza. Due to that delivery, I didn’t realize they where going for that movie cliche of “you’ll get out of this” when I heard that line out of context.

PIZZA WITH MAYO

Major character: *Fucking dies* Cloud: You owe me a pizza

[@LAVATORR]

Cloud is Detective Halligan from Mystery of the Druids but with a better credit score.

[@Asher17]

To be fair, it was supposed to be a callback to her asking cloud out and offering to make him some special pizza and cloud was just trying to give her a "hold on, you can't die" kind of thing.......that being said, still hilarious, especially because the voice actor said it so forcefully that he comes off as being more angry that she didn't give him pizza than sad that she's dying.

This game in japanese makes more sense, but still too streched out at times.

[@wevegottrouble5891]

I'll be honest dunkey, I thought this was an awful take. Worst of all of your takes - but when I saw that the video had zero dislikes, I was convinced that you were right all along. Someone with zero dislikes just can't be wrong about something like this, I'm sorry.

[@sasoripunpun2273]

amazing how everyone that originally disliked this video: thought about it, changed their mind and then un-disliked it! only Dunko; what a legend

[@Saibott55]

I just wanna see the part where it is revealed that Cloud is actually a cybernetic turtle from the future, searching for the mystic mungis

[@SBaby]

You find the Mystic Munigs at the end of the game and kill it. Sorry, I know it's spoilers. But I wanted to straighten that out.

[@leeyabobrest7722]

The argument is that he is a hypocrite. He made a video about why he hates review companies like IGN who get paid more for making bad review's on popular games. That they shouldn't have an opinion cuase they will just shit all over a good game for money even though they don't care about the product. Here he is doing the exsact same thing. He doesn't like JRPG's yet he feels the need to make a bad review on an acclaimed and beloved game. Simply to generate views and get money. He's a hypocrite.

[@AA-qy5bq]

He didn’t even give a rating *HE DIDN’T EVEN GIVE A RATINGGGGGG*

[@apricotniggapenis4529]

I DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK

[@keacluster]

No frog / 5

[@MickeyYeahbaby]

Realistically, I'd say based on the video, we can probably guess his rating would somewhere between 2.5 and 3 out of 5. Maybe even a 2 out of 5 if he reallly hated the filler/story.

[@NRobbi42]

If I got my opinions from Dunkey videos, then I'd think TLoU and Uncharted 4 were mediocre games. Then again, he did end up putting both of those games in his top 10 videos, so maybe you're better off coming to your own conclusions since opinions aren't concrete.

You have to grind the story to get to the combat. Well put and is exactly how I felt. And so many pointless obstacles like go find this button and push it to turn on electricity, which is always dead for some reason. Gates are locked, oh. How can a fucking gate stop Cloud?
