Last Epoch is an ARPG for those who lack the PhD needed for PoE but don't want to play the Blizzard's kindergarten simulator D4.
Unfortunately the Developers EHG made some people that have never experienced a shit tier PoE launch big mad this week when they released the full 1.0 game on Tuesday and had massive server instability until yesterday.
Here are some of the common complaints:
General server shit storm. Load times between zones were upward of 5 minutes at one point. Inability to access online mode was common.
Characters disappearing from both online and offline play modes, which was temporary but caused massive sneed.
There was some bizarre "referral" program where you referred people in game to get a Bee pet. So as expected every post in global chat and reddit were people asking for referrals. Finally they just gave bee pets to everyone.
And this resulted in a general shitflinging on both the official groomercord and reddit between people simping for the unironic version of the "tiny indie studio" meme and others reporting EHG to the Hague for warcrimes.
Also several other hilarious bugs like HC characters dying during load:
In general the slap fighting has been hilarious:
For anyone wondering the game is pretty good and I believe servers, at least in the US are stable now JK tried now and load times are touch and go. The endgame is a bit light compared to maps in PoE but I suspect it'll have the same content creep over the new seasons.

Japan only obvious
The reason for Mother 3's inclusion in this Direct is likely due to the involvement of creator Itoi Shigesato, meaning that this is technically a collaborative project with a third party.
As for why the game isn't included in the West, the usual alleged reasons are being bandied about, like the game not already having been previously localized, and controversially dark themes and the main party tripping on mushrooms at one point.
There are also “problematic” representations in “transgender” characters called the Magypsies, despite the lattermost not even being human beings, and are crossdressing okama.
It seems like Mother fans in the West will have to wait for yet another chance.

G*merescape: Review: Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
Maybe it'd be nice to say that we all should have gotten over Final Fantasy VII by now instead of fawning over the world and its characters. But far from being the simple note-for-note reprise of the original that it could have been, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth swings for the fences to be a big and original thing that feels like a full game even while it is, functionally, the middle. It has weaknesses like combat I'm not wholly sold on and maybe a bit too much start-and-stop through gameplay, but if you've been looking forward to the game, you will not be disappointed. And if you want to experience the full story, this is a really good time.
Final Score 8/10
Reddit Reactions
If this keeps up, it'll tie FINAL FANTASY IX as the highest rated FF and JRPG of all time (not counting ports, enhanced re-releases, and remasters).
JRPG bros are we actually back? Do I actually need to get this?

Run out of bounds and wait for your orbital bombardment to attack your area. If you're wearing light armor it takes a fairly long time before your orbital bombardment kills you. This will annoy and kill your teammates. Try it on strangers!

OP
Seriously what the actual frick. Since release I have seen 50 billion different fricks complain about how every single character wants to frick you but I just dont get it. I am in Act 3. Almost finished the entire game and not ONCE has anyone proposed nor have I gotten the chance to frick. Like literally no one. Not even the squid wants to frick me. No one has even flirted with me. I am so done.
The most ironic part is my Tav is a 20+ Charisma Bard.
No drama, just funny.
for a moment I was ready to type “same” until I saw sub name
[OP] Literally exhausted every single dialogue option.
[OP] If they dropped any I surely would.
Silence is also a hint
[OP] The game doesn't even have a dialogue option to say flirty shit.
It has literally tons of it, no wonder u didnt get laid my man
OP might be the most gameless neighbor to have ever existed.
And more dunking on OP throughout the comments.

This event mostly has your typical Slav games like dota, world of tank and etc and to be original they decided to do some tournament where you play 50% video game and 50% real sport a bit like chess boxing (very gay).
The kek part comes when a 2k team from US came that are good 2k gaymers apparently and they played well agents Serb team till it was time for physical part and then got wrecked because Serb had like basketball pro tier young players
But the fun part will be tomorrow when Chinese team that supposedly very good at fifa is going to play the “physical” part against anyone since that Chinese team is full with gray haired fat men.
The whole combining real sport and video gayms sound like interesting idea and etc but in reality it would end up with real life athletes dominate. Because you mb decent at 2k nba but you won't be good in real life as lebron James while he can become very close to your gayming skills without much effort.
So chink team is gonna get own hard tomorrow
