I genuinely enjoyed DmC and genuinely disliked DMC5 and feeling that way makes me feel like a lovely contrarian.

I really enjoy DmC's gameplay. And completely ignoring the content the game is performed well by those involved. Well performed garbage is still garbage.

DMCV gets a little finger-puzzley for me, I would probably be better at it with a controller that has paddles. And almost the entire soundtrack is sick.

I absolutely love Hollow Knight, I think it is a fantastic game. Anybody who disagrees needs to face up to a hard, ugly fact, and that is that you and I share a differing opinion on a matter of subjective taste. :colbert:

The game where you're a stupid insect, walking around deviant art aimlessly until you have to do some horrific jumping puzzle with a massive walk back when you fail so that you can do your minimal and boring attacks to a different shaped white deviant art bug while all the characters pretend that there's something interesting underneath the surface of this terrible melee based mega man game. what if dark souls was 2D and no one on the team that made it was talented.

dark souls didn't create mysterious "what is this" "what's happening" stuff in games or remembering boss tells or anything. that came from a bunch of poo poo on the NES and dark souls is good because it recreated it well while fleshing it out a lot. the hollow knight devs were 3 people inspired by metroid, faxanadu and castlevania 2 and did ok even if it's not a big success in terms of being interesting.

I don't understand playing Hollow Knight when the Ori games exist, particularly the second one where the combat is, uh, "influenced" by Hollow Knight to smooth out the problems of the first one.

N-no it wasn't... just because... oh God, the antagonist never did anything wrong until after life just screwed her over again and again and then she... :cry:

Yeah, it's sad. Still a great friggin' game. Would have been my GOTY if not for Hades.

I am still thinking about that scene at the end where Shriek goes to lie in the arms of her turned-to-stone dead parents, so that she can die with the smallest of comforts. Messed up. :cry:

Third place for me I think. GOTY was either Hades or Cyberpunk 2077.

it's almost admirable but that post is definitely a little too Games for my taste. the hollow knight ppl are really talented imo.

GAMING UPDATE!!: i just hit 100 hrs in my p5r savefile @_@ Too much game. i lost a lot of steam around the [spoler] space port + casino. but then it got good again and interesting. i just di the "cruise ship" and aftermath of that. things aregetting good.

Movie update: rolled a random year on random.org and got "1939" so im watching movies from that year to forego 'selection anxiety' (movie goons? we know all about this). i watched "mr smithgoes to washington" which sucked lol. americana fail. ah well. hope every1 is doing great :)

Burying all the trauma from past nights
Burying my anger in the past

I watched Vivarium and three of the most bothersome things about the movie was the hopelessness of it all in that I didn't believe that the protagonists would overcome their situations, we never knew the motivation or the identity of the horrors though the cuckoo imagery at the beginning alludes to something, also the horror the protagonists go through, made me think that it showed how difficult life with kids can be.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Yep, the spaceport’s pretty universally considered the low point of the game, but things definitely pick up after that if you can power through. My final time for p5r ended up around 160 hours, but that’s also because i’m crazy and feel the need to run around all of the maps to check to see if there’s new dialogue from the random npcs every few in game days.

this glorious monument

I found the ship to be the low point personally. I did a second playthrough to try to get all the achievements but I lost steam once I realized I'd have to go through it again.
Also because the 'get all the books' achievement was so fiddly.

The ship was the worst part of Persona 5 but I think space is probably the worst part of Persona 5 Royal.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
I actively dislike most of the platformers or side scrolling adventures that get all critically acclaimed

Limbo, Ori, Rayman, Hollow Knight, The Swapper; anything like that. Most of them are bad imo. Cannot be enjoyed. It seems like really good artists have a dreamy weird story to tell and not much game to do. There is a kind of hopelessness to most of their metaphors which I don’t enjoy in fiction (Rayman is just straight goofy I believe, so points back there).

I have had to come to this realization over years of many dumb purchases.

Such an excellent game! I try to "speedrun" the game every few months, until end of main story. Got it down to 45 minutes and I'm starting to feel like if I want to improve the time I need to Learn the Speedrun, but I am Lazy.
