So maybe it's different with some of the other games? The ability to carry multiple weapon types and skills tied to weapons is very SaGa. I agree it's too talky but the combat mechanics seem solid from the little I played.Ĭlick to expand.So my experience with SaGa is pretty limited, the most I've played in the series was Frontier 1 and even then I didn't finish any of the stories. Schreier is a fantastic journalist at the end of the day. Still, I think reviewers deserve more sympathy than criticism given how awful gamers can be. It's one thing when he's like this to people he doesn't know on twitter or forums but it rubbed me the wrong way to see him throw it at a colleague. Tim mentioned he wasn't feeling that hot on Octopath and Schreier played it up like "thank god you finally came around!!" and then his response to something else Tim said he was like "well you just like bad games!" like have some chill. I never saw his actions on era but something that really left a bad taste in my mouth was a stream of him and Tim Rogers playing the Final Fantasy 8 remaster.
I do think he goes too far sometimes though, and not all of his actions are great. I'm sure Schreier has received a lot of personal shit that we don't know about and that could be the cause for his pettiness. I'm always hesitant about throwing too much criticism at reviewers. I know everyone likes to joke about "too much water lol" but the author of that review has discussed how the nuance of her argument was lost and she was subjected to rape and death threats. I'm not too crazy about making memes of reviews because so often in the gaming community, reviewers receive a horrific amount of harassment. Square Enix themselves mentioned Final Fantasy VI in the marketing and were basically telling people "it's like that!" so I can understand people being upset when they were hoodwinked into playing a SaGa game.
While I generally don't like criticism that amounts to "do something else entirely", I think it was a somewhat justified response to Octopath.
