It's also interesting to observe how Square kept pushing cinematic moments in their games as they went along. FF1 has its story and setting but it is relatively barebones, which makes sense given the time it was released. 2 introduced named characters and had a bit more emphasis on story. 3 was...

You ain't a soldier >:( :D

If you enjoyed the previous entries there's no reason not to play 7 and 8! 7 gets a ton of praise, and considering its historical significance it deserves quite a bit of it. It's obviously not a perfect game though and some aspects have not aged that well. The presentation is kinda funny...

Do we have any public information about that? So far I've only seen Nicko say positive things about Simon, as well as a bit of bantering.

V is my favourite from the 2D entries. If you enjoyed the job system in III, V has that on steroids. You can do some really fun things. Its best features are less the story or cinematic moments and more the gameplay systems. VI on the other hand is much more cinematic and if you've played OG VII...

I apologize for coming across as too confrontational and aggressive. In my mind there was an undercurrent of levity and bantering to that comment which apparently didn't translate in writing. My bad. I think it's a pretty big leap to make though. Steve and Bruce have always had a somewhat...

Let me get this straight. Are you saying that 34-year-old Steve in 1990, who listened to the solo album of his bandmate, on which the then new guitarist of Maiden and replacement for Adrian was playing, taking note of Bruce's vocal style and deciding to write for that in Maiden as well is the...

We can say a lot of things about Steve, but "he saw how a different band did something and got inspired to change his ways"... Well, personally I don't think this is a thought process that fits with what we know about Steve and his inquisitive mind.

It's not even the best Maiden album of the 80s :innocent::D

That's not a contradiction. There are multiple regulars who have explained why they are unhappy with Simon in previous threads. There might've been some pushback from people who disagree, but that's to be expected. This is a forum after all, discussing topics is the whole point. Those regulars...

That's the thing though, it's not enormous. It's incredibly simple. Anyone who is capable enough to sign up for any website can pull it off. And Steve Lazarus was just an example, if such a campaign were real, it could be spearheaded by a completely different person. Let's not forget that this...

That's actually something I'd like metal bands to embrace in general. For whatever reason most bands are super rigid. If you look at other artists they are much more likely to shake up their songs and arrangements, sometimes even changing genres. Rick Astley for example has performed a brilliant...

I think you are massively misunderstanding what was written. They didn't claim that there's some massive conspiracy and certainly nothing about a "force to contend with". If you've spent any time on social media the last few years, especially during and after covid, you'd know that similar...

Again, I don't think that snarc meant every single negative comment about Simon was part of some conspiracy. It's about a number of specific accounts on the subreddit, here and probably YouTube and/or Facebook with suspiciously similar writing and posting styles. Pettiness can be found in...

I don't think it's aimed at you or some of the other regulars here on the forum. I don't know if I believe there's some kind of conspiracy, but I can say at the very least, that I've seen posts very similar to Kurt Barlow's typing style on the maiden subreddit, from different user accounts...
