Over the years, a few things have been omitted from the process of game reviews in favor of a more streamlined approach that is primarily focused on appealing to the lowest common denominator of gamer. Too often have we, as critics, felt satisfied with evaluating games from a shallow perspective without spending the time to dig deeper into the mechanics and theory behind the development of each title. It’s time we make a change.
Yuffie joins the party late in the game in FF7 Rebirth, but she's still a potential date partner for Cloud in Chapter 12 at the Gold Saucer.

Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
It is really up to us to not have a hissy fit/buy games when they get a score of 7.5 or 8.
I think yahtzee has the best score system - as in non-existent. A reviewer should be able to infer all the qualities of a numerical score in the content of the review, there's no need to reduce such a difficult and complicated medium to 8 or 9 out of 10. It's bizarre and exceptionally pointless. Critics should highlight the subjective nature of reviews and the importance of taking one person'a interpretations with a pinch of salt before removing the number system entirely.
No one ever complains abmiguity in yahtzee'a reviews because he uses phrases like "better than jesus" and "more fun than a triple c*nted hooker" - those words tell you everything you need to know without stamping a 9 on the game's cover.
It should not boil down to a numerical score. Players should actually READ the review to get an idea of how the game plays, not to have someone else's overall opinion dictate their own.
