No, say that in chaos language, the best version of the song.

Here, have a violin/piano collab of the two songs I linked to at the end of last page.

Speaking of games that hook you in, I knew I was going to love it as soon as you get past the starting sequence and back to the home base. The mood they're able to create with just the use of color and music and limited framing was so good. And then I looked up the track online and was like, "Yep, there's something magical here"

Speaking of Mario and Luigi, why do you think their particular colours (red and green, respectively) were chosen? What does it tell us about their relationship, their personalities, their roles on a meta level?

What about the shapes of their moustaches?

I think at the end of the month a Steven Universe game that's a complete Mario and Luigi ripoff is coming out and if it's anything like the mobile game (this is a new game, not just a port of the mobile game) it'll be a really good Mario and Luigi ripoff

Evil Within 2 has a sidequest where your big reward is a fuckin' ghost that will continue to haunt you throughout the game like the ghost in the mansion level of the first game did.

It might be my favorite sidequest in recent memory just because of how hilarious that is.

Please don't tell me that said ghost will one shot you if they get near you like Ruvik did in the first game. In fact, please tell if there's anything like that at all in TWE2.

That crap drove me crazy and made me uninstall the first game without finishing it, that whole segment in TEW1 is a huge buzzkill.

Late replay but while I don't necessarily disagree, I think I still would take the bulk of ZTD's story over the bulk of DR1/2's story. ZTD's ending is unequivocally worse than at least DR1's but I still like that setting/cast more. And in the end if I'm honest, I mostly like that series on the back of 999/VLR anyway. ZTD coming out at all was a nice surprise but a part of me honestly kind of liked leaving it all at the Empire Strikes Back cliffhanger in VLR.

The thing is, DR1 dug a lot of its own grave with its twist. While the wham line in 999 (You haven't lost.... I have lost.) is fully explained by the end, even though it does require a lot of weird supernatural stuff to be injected at the last minute, DR1's mid-game surprise (Monoworld) is never addressed. And VLR managed to roll with the twist while making the supernatural stuff much fairer by tying it to the game's main play mechanic, while DR2 was presumably pressured to bring back Junko as the villain because moe! and tore itself and the series apart trying to explain how a fashion mad schoolgirl took over the world by "despairing". It's a shame, because DR almost felt like it was about to go proper Battle Royale and make a societal point about selective education, but I guess that got dropped the moment cafes started selling cocktails with wafers shaped like the characters' pigtails.

I don't know know what you mean about DR1 going unexplained, they certainly do so, although it took the anime to explain how all this poo poo went global and the result is basically no less plausible than 999.

VR3 is totally a reaction to the series' success. The least spoilery way I can describe the ending is that it's Funny Games except it actually makes a cogent point instead of pure nihilism. I haven't played a game that so beautifully puts a bow on the series and I'll be pretty dismissive if it's brought back in the same form.

It moves really slowly. Also you should finish the first game and play the second one it's fantastic.

I was looking at these images and thinking "This doesn't look like how I remember Faxanadu at all!"
and then I realized all these years I'd had it mixed up with The Magic of Scherazade.

Is there a video game gifs thread? There's one for screenshots but since most are sources from Steam they don't load at work. Gifs though, gifs I can do.

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...

There’s a video game glitch thread, it has a lot of fun gifs. I’m phone posting so I can’t link it :(
