i've said, in this very thread, that shadow the hedgehog was a good game

it was roundly mocked for being "sonic with guns" but my new unpopular opinion is "this is a dumb loving criticism because basically every game is better with guns". mario kart is basically racing with guns. where the gently caress is my Coolboarders 3 with guns, or my zelda with guns, or Tetris 64: Blood on the Sand?

Everyone made fun of Mario Rabbids for being Mario with guns and it turned out to be a fantastic game.

Global warming is barely a big deal at all compared to the trajectory we used to be on. We'll have to do a lot of environmental engineering projects along certain shorelines and it will be a little warmer and wetter in some places, big fucking deal.

Whenever I see screenshots or videos of those Monster Hunter games, It boggles me about the... unrealism of it? The suspension of disbelief always being shattered? I'm not sure how to say it. Basically you have your guy with a big sword fighting things the literal size of Godzilla, who somehow just doesn't sit on the player and crush him with its buttocks. How is this a fight? Do you not feel vaguely embarrassed at it all?

Whenever I play Katamari Damacy and the ball starts getting bigger and bigger the second-hand embarrassment climbs up in parallel until I just can't take it anymore and I start crying.

It's not really a fight, more like twenty minutes of you flailing wildly and wondering if you're even damaging them.

Exploration is ill-advised.
The Monster Hunter bosses in MGS Peace Walker always felt like huge bullet sponges compared to the rest of the game, which is saying something when you're talking about literal tanks. It isn't so bad once you unlock the later weapons, but still jarring given you access the Monster Hunter fights quite early in the game. (if you know where to look)

I was playing katamari the other day, and it's still really awesome. now that's a good game for speed running. all the items are scattered around in such a random jumble, there are countless numbers of paths you could take to get a faster time. It's a lot more interesting challenge than running a Mario level really fast, you would need to like chart out the level and plan an optimum route on graph paper or something.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

It was on purpose, but probably in a different way than you mean. The dev diary of the making of that game is amazing and the tricks they had to pull in order to make it work back in 96 kind of blow my mind.

I don't disagree, but also have you ever played any video game at all? The entire point is that they're fantasy experiences.

Actually its a really good but flawed game (that i personally disliked until the ps4 remake) that too many people lavish too much praise on. Its just far too simplistic.

I really liked how the developers took note of all the janky, tedious poo poo that game offered and proceeded to say "hold my beer" and made The Last Guardian.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values

Twelve Batmans posted:

Real talk when I was deciding between whether or not I wanted a Playstation or an N64 I decided to just try out the demo games they had available for each (I think this was in a Sears maybe)? The demo for N64 was that Podracing game. The demo for the PSX was Battle Arena Toshinden. I made the right choice for the wrong reasons. BAT sucked but Suikoden II opened my eyes to how well a story can be told and a world fleshed out through videogame mechanics.

Anyway play Suikoden II.

my favorite thing about the launch of the Saturn/PSX era is video game magazines gushing over every new game that comes out and making GBS threads on the 16-bit releases. Game Players giving 10/10/10/10 to Battle Arena Toshinden and saying this is the best fighting game ever made, it won't get better than this folks! While giving stuff like Chrono Trigger 7s and trashing the graphics as awful compared to the amazing 3D in PSX/Saturn games. This pixel art can't compare to the 3D models of Clockwork Knight!

I think even they shamefully admitted that Battle Rena Toshinden actually sucks poo poo by the time the sequel came out.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
All of the good Metal Gear Solid games are the ones that do not in any way include Solid Snake.
