Final Fantasy VII Remake

 


Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a remake of the classic 1997 video game Final Fantasy 7. It is a great game but is given a three star rating here because of one major flaw. That major flaw is it isn't a full game, you have to buy the game in parts. 

FF7 was released in 2020, and it was developed by Square Enix. The game was announced in 2015. A few key staff individuals returned, including character developer Tetsuya Nomura. The staff upgraded the characters to adjust authenticity and stylization. While the veteran Japanese Final Fantasy VII voice cast returned for the new portion, the English voices were re-cast. 

So if you want to play this game to the fullest play the Japanese version of the game. To be honest the new English voice cast sound better than the original. So that is also worth playing. 

But if you want originality, play the Japanese audio. 

The game sold over 3.5 million copies within the first three days. Reasons for this was mainly because "as a buyer" we thought it would be a full game as the title was misleading.

Also it seems most blogs and video game review websites were giving false reviews. They were giving it good reviews before even playing the game due to it being nostalgic and making or allowing these individuals live out their childhoods. 

It was announced that the game would be a timed PlayStation 4 exclusive until 2021, with no further details about its release on other platforms. 

And in the future will possibly make its way to the PlayStation 5. 

Since then Square signed a deal with Nintendo to allow the use of Cloud and Sephiroth to appear on the Nintendo Switch. Which is silly as the new FF7 Remake is an only PlayStation exclusive. 

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character rosters are quite disappointing. You'd think that they would add like 5 characters from a title into a video game but it is only one or two.

For example it shouldn't just be Cloud, it should also be Yuffie, Tifa, Barret and Aerith.

They have Ryu and Ken, but where is Chun-Li!??? 

See!? Characters are very lacking. 

The deal possibly has more to do with the old FF7 having been ported to the Switch.

The Legend of Zelda: Age of Calamity


 The Legend of Zelda: Age of Calamity

Rating: ★★★★☆

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a hack-and-slice game for the Nintendo Switch created by Omega Force, distributed by Koei Tecmo in Japan and by Nintendo around the world. It is a portion of Hyrule Warriors, a hybrid between Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Nintendo's Legend of Zelda. The game goes about as the prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Period of Calamity is set for a worldwide release on November 20, 2020.

One thing we already know is that Princess Zelda and Link lose the war against Ganondorf and the Four Champions die in battle. But this game explains each and every one of their story.

You can place as several races, Gerudo, Goron, Rito, Hylian, Korok and specially the Sheikah who in previous games were unplayable. Not counting Sheik as that is Princess Zelda in disguise or the first Hyrule Warriors series as that wasn't a prequel to any existing Zelda franchise like the Age of Calamity is.

It has been given a 4 star rating, because of the lack of character customization for all other characters apart from Link, who you are unable to customize. The best thing about this game is weapons are invulnerable and won't break over time, unlike in Breath of the Wild which is what ruins the BOTW series and makes it irritating.

Breath of the Wild is the only game in the Zelda series to feature weapons that break. Even the Master Sword loses its power at times and makes the game terrible to play. Previous Zelda games were nothing like that. Which sucks in Nintendo's favor. Because they have stolen that idea from other leading games including MMORPG types.

The breaking weapons in the BOTW series are a problem.

Yes, breakable weapons actually ruin the Zelda franchise. Luckily this is not featured in the Age of Calamity feature, but will probably return in Breath of the Wild 2. 

The best thing about this game is that it has been dubbed into multiple languages. So you can remove the terrible English dubbed voices, that do not match the Japanese counterparts.

Say goodbye to Princess Zelda's awful British sounding voice with the Japanese language pack, that you Nintendo.

Kirby Fighters 2

 

Kirby Fighters 2

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

Kirby Fighters 2 is a cheap rip-off attempt to make a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate without a galaxy of characters which will make its debut for the Nintendo Switch console on the 20th of September 2020.

We decided to give it a one star review, because Kirby mainly attracts babies and people with special needs, no offense to them. But that is the kind of audience Kirby appeals to. 

Also because it is just Super Smash Bros with replaced characters and items. Worst of all the recent SSB game was a port from the Wii U. Nintendo are lazily porting video games from the Wii U, and not adding much new things in them. 

This is a game we couldn't find ourselves playing. Maybe more Pop's type of game. Pop is the Popcorn Bay-Bay of course, and these games do appeal to babies. 

The people in the comment section seem thrilled. But something about this individuals tells you that there is more to the story of why they feel the way they do in the comment section. 

It also tells you that this game is not going to be a game that won't have longevity, which is also why it has a one star rating here. 

Street Fighter II

 

Street Fighter II

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Street Fighter II is a 1991 fighting game produced by Capcom, originally released as an arcade game. A sequel to Street Fighter, Street Fighter II improved upon many of the concepts introduced in the first game, including the use of command-based special moves and a six-button control configuration, while offering players a selection of multiple playable characters, each with their own unique fighting style and special moves.

Street Fighter II is credited with starting a fighting game boom during the 1990s. Its popularity led to the production of several updated versions, each offering additional features and characters over previous versions, as well as many home versions; the game itself also established many of the core concepts of the fighting game genre. Some of the home versions of the Street Fighter II games have sold millions of copies, with the SNES port of the first Street Fighter II being Capcom's best-selling consumer game of all-time as of 2008.

Street Fighter II is predecessor to the 1987 video game Street Fighter I. The game is fast paced and can be difficult at times. 

Initially the "Longplay" for the video was posted here. But YouTube are falsely flagging and removing "Live Stream" and "Live Streaming" videos. Yes, you can appeal, but there is a downside in which the video will be removed again by bots.

So in place is an official trailer for SFII.

YouTube have "BOTS" roaming the website since COVID-19, and now they are here to stay. And they are just false flagging anything they see. They do not "flag" high rated content creators, only people with low subscriber counts. So that is what you need to know. No point appealing, because they will return and false flag the videos again, as they do with other things due to it being an "automated system" and all. One in which has a lot of trouble.

Originally people were abusing the "copyright" claims system on YouTube and claiming anything years ago, until YouTube did something about it. Where it can be determined in a court of law now. But yes, people did abuse that too. However if someone is using your content you can still file a claim against them, a lot of people do it. 

This false flagging has things to do with "tag" and "thumbnails" as YouTube and or Google, same company use artificial intelligence to moderate, and this AI is not too bright when it comes to flagging.

To false flag video game footage is lame. 

This "thumbnail" was apparently inappropriate. 🙄

Seriously Google aka YouTube!? Of a video game character kicking into the air!? That is what she does, and has been doing. There are many videos, probably even worse on YouTube with her in them, and some are actually inappropriate. 

Look at this for example!? False outrage. Where is the double standard Google!?

It is YouTube's right to remove videos. It is their platform, but you will notice that this does not happen to everyone. It only happens to specific content creators. Either someone is trying to silence you with false flagging or stop you from expanding your channel or growing it.

As of 2020, they probably possibly don't even want you to grow your channel anymore. Even though people are dying in the world. The only thing companies think about it making $$$. Who from you ask!? Their biggest content creators. Indicating the smaller content creators like me or you are useless to them. We are dirt to them, because we do not bring in the money.

After all you have supporters or followers, but some of them are not real followers. They actually hate that you are doing "what you do best" and will try to sabotage you. 

Those people are what we call secret haters. They will compliment you on YouTube, but secretly do not like you. They want what you have, and will try anything to ensure that you fail. From what was learned today on the 08/11/2020. Always keep the motto of not trusting anyone online. 

There are some genuine people out there who are really nice. But a lot of people are playing mind games. It is up to people like "us" to not really give them any time of day. 

In fact as of today Pip Presents channel is going to block a few false subscribers. One or two showed their true colors. And nobody in the right mind wants "TROLLS" around them. Also if you block them, they cannot really do much to sabotage, because the platform knows when people are blocked, and it does actually stop them. To be honest, it actually blocks people on multiple channels too from what was noticed earlier today.

So we will just find another platform to "Live Stream" games on. Like Twitch for example or BIGO Live TV. 

YouTube have literally destroyed their platform with all these new rules. All this does is make people no longer want to create videos. Which is probably what YouTube want. After all they "deliberately" changed the algorithm so that smaller YouTubers cannot be found.

They only care about the PewDiePie types. Those that are really making them money, the rest of us can go to hell as far as they are aware. 

So yeah, if anyone wonders why there will be no more "Longplay" videos, it is because YouTube bots are falsely flagging "Live Streaming" videos based on tags and thumbnails. Those "FALSE" claims can be appealed. But there is no point. Because YouTube has allowed AI to "automatically" reflag specific videos. 

Keep in mind, this does not happen to all videos. Only specific videos are taken down or thumbnails. And then it is a battle with YouTube bots, and nobody in the right mind has time for any of this bull shit, specially when you have not really broken any kind of terms and conditions. 

So the right thing to do is give up, and just move onto another platform. There are other content creators who do "Longplay" videos and to them, they do not want "new" competition. So what do they do!? They false flag videos, and being as the YouTube bots, the AI is so dumb, it will automatically agree if it "scans" the thumbnails or "tags" in your video.

There is no point playing games with the AI, it will return more than once and just waste your time. Most people want to upload a video and move on.

So yeah, for those thinking of "Live Steaming" and you are a new content creator, these are issues you will have to deal with. Most of us with sense, will move to another platform. Imagine scanning "tags" and "thumbnails" when there is "nothing inappropriate" in them!?

A lot of people wonder if YouTube are targeting specific people!? Do they collect data on people!? What do these people know?! Where is privacy!? Are they leaking data!? Something just isn't right. But did anyone actually read the contract before they signed up!? That is the question.

But if you do research you will see quite a few people who have done "Live Stream" videos have experienced this. However for some reason it is often "blacklisted" in search results, and those videos in question are hard to find.


So if people often ask why YouTube is removing your video for "Inappropriate Content" it is sometimes people who flag it, but it is also "TECHNOLOGY" too that is false flagging and removing content. We thought it best to explain here, because some people often worry and ask why this has happened, when they have done "no wrong" whatsoever. 

You know!? Not broken any rules!? But are being told by YouTube and Google that they have!?

If you want to go up against YouTube who own the platform you will lose. They have the right to do as they please, as they announced. So it probably best to back away, because you could possibly lose your channel.

It is quite funny how YouTube work. There are some people "abusing" the platform and bypassing all the rules. And they do not get videos removed or are they banned. As a witness, I have witnessed people abuse YouTube, and they have been given no warnings. 

But that is YouTube and that is how it works. Starting soon on this blog, we will do alternative reviews but no longer use out own content. Instead just official content from trailers. After all this is a video game blog, and though "specific" social media websites have made it hard to produce or make your own content, there are other ways around that.

If you are a YouTube creator watch out for tags and thumbnails and what is in your videos. You may end up being falsely flagged. 

If you are a gaming streamer and you are worried, you can check out these videos here for help, and understand why your video or videos has been removed. There are a lot of videos on the subject but some seem to be hidden for unknown reasons. So you will just have to take pot luck for anyone who wants to know why.  Check out this link here: [YouTube Video Removed]

You also have bots actively watching you while you "Live Steam" videos. Bots that do not know right from wrong. Bots that are falsely removing chat messages and causing havoc. Something you would never experience on Twitch. 

Keep in mind that people who constantly false flag videos, eventually lose their actual Google account. So it is obviously 100% the bots. Of course with malicious people who like to sabotage other people mixed in. Of course according to "this person here" she is a low content creator and for unknown reasons she seems to be watched carefully by the bots or falsely flagged on a regular basis. Her video is actually hidden. As she explains, for some unknown reason it is fine for "other" content creators to post actual inappropriate content, but for all the rest of us, we post something "none inappropriate" and we are hunted down. 

And there you have it. That is what you have to deal with while live streaming on YouTube. So if you don't like it, probably best to throw in the towel like the Pip Presents blog. To think new ideas to expand a YouTube channel have been canned due to the "stern behavior" of YouTube, and how they target people who do not post things that go against the community guidelines.

As said it is not the end of the world. There are many other platforms on social media in which you can live stream video games. Places without stupid rules made "that never existed" to stop people from creating content or expressing themselves creatively. 

Also your subscriber count really matters too. If it is low, you will be treated like dirt when it comes to live streaming videos. You will notice, because most things are disabled. So you have to have a large and active subscriber list which is how most social media platforms work.

Apart from YouTube, Google have literally ruined Blogger as a whole. It is very difficult to use now. Making people no longer want to use it. They are destroying all of their brands for 2020, without knowing. Doing things like this makes people want to leave platforms and never return. 

Hopefully Google are aware of this behavior, and understand that if they keep putting in all these random rules for "content creators" that eventually they will have none, and like Myspace, people will find a new platform.

For example a lot of people have advised others to move to Firefox, because of all the shady things that go on that people are unaware of. Specially when it comes to emails too and how Chrome is tracking each and every individual without you knowing by keeping you logged in.

Which doesn't stop people from using Google, as it is very fast. But a lot of people do use Bing and Firefox, Yahoo! and specially DuckDuckGo. You are oblivious to your privacy, up until you figure that Google decide that they want to spy on you for reasons unknown. But most of us do not care, but we should sue if we find out that "companies" are doing things that they shouldn't be. Though websites put in rules and regulations, they themselves have rules that they must abide by. 

Websites that have become spy software are pretty much breaking laws. You have to ask why some of these companies are exempt. And are able to do these kind of things!? As said, did you read the contract before signing up to a site!? No because it is too long. But it will actually tell you in that contract that, this is what companies like that do. 

As said before. Anyone who has experienced this "Live Streaming" problem. You may want to try Twitch. But ensure that you do not link your Google account. Probably best to make an account with an alternative email to Google, just in case. 

As you know data is being passed around online. And most of these companies are in cahoots with one another. You know "virtual" profiling!? You wouldn't want to make an account elsewhere only to find out that they already have data on you from third-party websites based on the email you used to sign up with.

So yeah, Twitch is the future for gaming live streams and not having to worry. The only thing you have to worry about on Twitch is video game music copyright issues, which unlike YouTube they have not dealt with as of yet. 

A lot of abuse today with copyright is rampant all over social media. People will make false copyright claims, forgetting there is a thing called fair use. Including Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976.

So anyone having problems on any other social media platforms where you stream video games, why not try Twitch!? You can also use Facebook and IG. But keep in mind that most of these websites run very similarly to YouTube. So if you are "video gaming" Twitch is the place for you.

https://www.twitch.tv/

Anyway nothing is taken to heart and we will move onto other things. It is just that you need to speak up if you feel you have been wrongly accused of something that you have not done. If this was more serious it could end in a lawsuit. 

Specially when you have broken no rules whatsoever. So it is in the best interest of Google or anyone for that matter to not claim things that are not true. Because if that "false claim" was ten times worse than it was, and nobody else had received it.

Only then it would be a problem. But being as many more people have experienced this. It is no biggie. The video was deleted ages ago after being hidden. Was "NEVER" appealed. So what YouTube need to do is stop sending these emails. It is over and done with, let it go. 

These things either have something to do with the moderators or people who moderate for Google, because something just isn't right. If you dislike someone that much, keep your biased opinions to yourselves and do your jobs properly. We don't know you people or want to know you for that matter. 

So to keep sending these emails when the video is long gone is quite harassing. We know it is to ensure that we are aware but it is annoying. Please STOP. It is upsetting to know that you have been falsely flagged for NO reason whatsoever. So STOP it Google. 

And if it really is a moderator who did all of that. You are sick and demented, and don't worry karma will catch up with you. Hopefully you will get sacked one day for abusing your powers. But it is most likely a bot. But that is a message to that individual "if they are" actively stalking us, that yes, we are aware and that message is to you. Leave us alone. 

As soon as the "Longplay" was posted here on this blog. That is when we experienced all of this nonsense. We will not be "Live Streaming" anymore. We will do it elsewhere, and we will ensure it is not linked to our Google account. 

False claims and false flagging is despicable. And it shows that you do not care for the content creator, and all you care about is $$$. Specially when there are people actually posting 18+ material on YouTube.

Waku Waku 7

 

わくわく7 Waku Waku 7 

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Waku Waku 7 is a battling game created by Sunsoft and at first delivered as an arcade game for the MVS/Neo Geo framework on November 21, 1996. It was later ported to the Sega Saturn. An arcade-amazing port is remembered for the 2008 PlayStation 2 delivery, Sunsoft Collection. The game isn't a spin-off, it is rather named after its seven fundamental characters.

The game is a challenge to play and you will find yourself being defeated often, specially when the characters turn super.

Waku Waku 7 has a sporadic list of capabilities for a battling round of now is the ideal time, and incorporates highlights normal to SNK battling games (four essential assaults, screens zooming, and so forth) 

The game has a program of nine characters (Two of which were accessible just in the Versus method of the reassure ports). Each has a fundamentally extraordinary playstyle and spoofs a notable character from another game. 

Each character has a ground-breaking uncommon move (Referred to as the Harahara development, or Harahara movement). They had a few factors that made them novel, including: 

They were anything but difficult to execute; They should have been charged. (during which the character concentrates, says something, pauses dramatically or blows a ballyhoo) They were unblockable and hard to avoid, however could be hindered while charging. While charging, the game blazes an admonition and sounds a caution. 

Characters could be dispatched through the screen to hit the other corner, and assaulted while on the ground; yet could likewise evade or assault while getting up.

"It is said that the person who collects all sevens of the legendary WakuWaku balls will have their dearest wish granted. Those who find one of the balls become obsessed with the ruthless desire to obtain the others, who will be victorious in the bitter battle to become the owner of all the balls. Victory or defeat - it all lies in your hand."
