FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED

The original PC port is better

I've got this and the original FF8 PC port another platform, so I can list the main problems I had with the remaster. Aside from these issues, the game is fine, and it's still fun. 1) Slow down and frame stutter. The original FF8 runs fine on my PC, but the remaster has stutter and occasional slow down. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X3D, an RTX 3090, 64 GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, and the games are installed on a 4TB NVMe PCIe Gen 4 drive. There's no reason for the game to slowdown on the hardware side, so it's an issue with the background processes of Windows having problems or the emulation software not being quite right. I had similar issues with the FFX/X2 HD Remaster, as well. 2) Unnecessary censorship. When the game was remastered, for some reason they decided that Rinoa's very modest and ladylike cleavage was too much. Whether they thought it was too slutty or something, I have no idea, I just know that they changed several models, and that you have to fight censorship in all forms where ever you find it or it'll creep in like mold. 3) You need mods to fix the Full Screen mode. The original game uses a 4x3 screen image. For whatever reason, when they made this remaster they didn't include a widescreen fix. They did with FFX and FFX2, but not this one. Seems dumb to me, but the end result is that you need to use scaling, mods, or third party software to get a proper widescreen image.

Don't waste your time or your money

Date of Review: Aug. 15, 2017 First, let me say that I didn't buy this game. However, I did not recieve this game in exchange for a review or as a bribe or anything of that nature. I recieved it from a random prize grab bag that came with another game that I bought from someone other than GOG. I got a code for Steam, GOG, and a link to downloadable installer. At the time, I just used the executable installer, as I was having trouble with GOG Galaxy since it was still in beta, and I don't approve of the early access game regs on Steam. So, I have played only a few hours with the GOG version sometime last year, and only a few minutes on Steam to see if there was any difference between the platforms, which there wasn't. So, why 1 star? Well, the Dev has done jack with the game in 4 years. The UI is still as clunky and practically unusable since the first time I played it 3 years ago, whether in regards to the fact that it is impossible to hit anything in combat, that the zombies apparently see you through solid walls with no windows and hear you when you make no noise at all, or that it's nearly impossible to make use of the inventory and item use system. What has the Dev been doing in all that time? They have added new textures for guns, new sounds, and lots of other things that don't fix any of the glaring issues of the game, despite listing plans to correct them in blogs and forums since the day I got this game. While some seem able to play the game for several hours before dying, I find it hard to believe that when your avatar walks to window on the opposite wall and opens it rather than the cabinet you clicked on, even when they had been standing in front of it. Were other reviewers paid off to give high ratings? I doubt it. More than likely they are simply suffering from the same thing I often do with Mystery and Space Sim games: Rose-Tinted Glasses. They hope for more, they dream of a final version, or they simply enjoy the genre too much to notice it's flaws.

The best of Epic Games releases!

Man, oh man! I loved playing this back in the days of High School. I had downloaded a bunch of Epic Mega Games products to my 85 MHz 486 machine from a BBS with nothing more than a 14.4 kbps modem. Hah! Have we evolved from then or what? Between this, Jazz Jackrabbit, One Must Fall: 2097, Solar Winds, Jill of the Jungle, Epic Pinball, and Castle of the Winds 1&2 my afternoons were stock full of fun. Add in to that mix Privateer 2, Master of Orion 2, and C&C: Red Alert and I had practically every genre of game. This is still one of my all time favorites, though. It stands head and shoulders over everything else that Epic MegaGames had put out at the time. The graphics are great, the game play is smooth, the controls are responsive, massive customization of the ship model/engine/shield/weapons, and there's so much to find! So many secrets! The plot is standard fare; find out what UberCorp is doing and stop them, but the lore they threw into it is what really makes this stand out. From the messages from your parents, to the President of MicroSol telling you that your mission is pointless, the game actually makes you feel like your actions have an impact. This is worth a play, even in this day and age, and best of all - it's free!

If you haven't played, you fail.

When this game came out, they wanted to use the D20 D&D system for the stats, but in the end they had to use SPECIAL. Frankly, this is one of the most flexible game systems I've seen, well suited to both tabletop and consoles. The beauty of this game, is that you can play it however you want. If you decide to explore and ignore the vault, you can. If you want to beat the game in 3 hours, you can. Want to focus on Speech and Small Guns, go right ahead. This game is a classic "Must Play" because you can play whoever you want, however you want, with non-linear quests and events, and you aren't forced into a typical role of "Go here, kill this. Repeat."
