Final Fantasy VII surpassed Half-Life and Call of Duty to secure one of four new slots in the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Other inductees include Tomb Raider, Spacewar!, and John Madden Football.
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
Tomb Raider over half Life? ... speaking of "resting on one's laurels". The new TR is dull and generic as fuck.
The criteria is a joke, to say the least...
Influence: The game +++has exerted significant influence on the design and development of other games+++?!!!, on other forms of entertainment, or on popular culture and society in general. +++A game may be inducted on the basis of this criterion without necessarily having met all of the first three. +++
...this has to be a joke. TR has not influenced Jack shit, at least not in the gaming World. No other female protagonist came to life after her stardom. Tomb raider is a decent to mediocre franchise, that got pushed thanks to the media ... ffs iirc some band made even a music video with cgi Lara Cruft. That's how silly the situation was surrounding dumb breeder. The contemporary Lora creft has the IQ and charme of a lightbulb .. has influenced others... The audacity!!!
Half life on the other hand did have an impact .. and unlike TR its sequel improved every aspect of the original and is considered an all-time best egoshooter.
There are franchises that have accomplished more than Laura Cruft ever will. Franchises that have fromed/started new genres and have sold more copies than Lora Craft.
I'd pick ff7 over half life, but I certainly wouldn't put tomb raider ahead of half life.
Hate final fantasy 😠 lol
