Monster Hunter World Iceborne in autumn 2019 for consoles and later for PC is so far away.

I get what you mean but when you find a character that you do recognize it's pretty rad

Realtalk why hasn't anyone made an updated first-person dungeon crawler game reminiscent of King's Field? Or maybe someone has and I've just missed it.

First-person melee combat is usually pretty lovely but after playing heavily modded Skyrim and managing to inject some challenge into it, I think it could work.

IDK I think fps melee sucks balls. Dark souls is strictly better than king's field.

I think Ashen looks pretty good, way nicer aesthetically than most indie Souls clones. But I also think Dark Souls is very ugly looking to begin with.

Dark souls is like, intentionally a little rough and ugly, goes with the gritty gothic setting. And in medieval times most people were ugly, covered in dirt and smelling of poo poo.

I found it refreshing after so many cartoony world of warcraft style games, but it isn't always aesthetically pleasing. Like a horror game.

sorry guys i've just gotten off the phone with Dave Nintendo and he said there's been a terrible mistake, the game wasn't supposed to be called smash at all, it's supposed to be smush. they shipped all extant games with a typo in the name. please refer to it by the correct appellation "smush" from now on.

Would rather have a Monster Hunter character in Smash TBH, and that would at least make some sense as there have been a bunch of MH games on Nintendo in the last several years. Just make it some generic Hunter with a Great Sword or whatever.

I don't personally think it really touches on recovery very much (although I can see how one might read it that way). I just think it gives a positive message about managing mental illness instead of trying to deny it exists. It's not a new message, but it is one worth repeating.

A lot of weirdo game opinions get amplified on reddit, which I suppose isn’t too different from here, but it’s all twisted in a totally alien way to me.

That's a bad Celeste take but at the same time lukewarm bad takes from randos on the internet aren't really worth getting annoyed about, it's probably legit bad for your own mental health in the long run.

It will always be depressing that Sega apparently lost the code for Panzer Dragoon Saga, making a rerelease ever happening extremely unlikely

I think the biggest difference is here if someone gives a dumbass opinion on a game you'll probably see at least a couple people call them out on it. On reddit if you say something even the least bit negative in response to someone, you end up getting hammered with downvotes and forced out of the conversation.

the thing that treated my mental health was pills which is probably not a very exciting message to make a video game about so I really don't have any sort of opinion on Celeste unless they get into like ephemera on medication types or something.

While it doesn't address medicating specifically, I think the overall theme that mental health issues can be managed and that you shouldn't be ashamed of them addresses that. That is something that resonated a bit more with me because when Celeste came out I was just starting to medicate for my depression instead of trying to "power through it". Read: lie on the sofa when I got home and think about how much I hate my life until bed.

to be specific it was doing a shitload of self-research on pills because you won't really get that much help from a primary care doctor other than "have some SSRIs I guess". Which works for some people but not a lot.

No matter what, Sega would have to create the game from the ground up again which honestly is probably a way better idea at this point.
