Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
Wow, Thief 2014 is hot garbage. I bought it for 5 bucks or whatever and it's been sitting on my PS4 for years. Who the hell came up with this control scheme?

I kept trying to use Blink and then remembered that I wasn't playing that infinitely superior title from Arkane Studios.

funny coincidence. i'm playing through dark souls for the first time right now. and i'm ceaselessly alternating, often from one moment to the next, between two judgments: that it's a clunky pos (the source of most of its difficulty) and that it's an acquired taste.

thats actually another old game i got as a re-release for the DS and it is really good. I don't know if this is in the SNES version, but you can unlock a mode to play the whole game as meta-knight (basically kirby with permanent sword and wings power) which rules.

Nope, that'd be Super Star Ultra, which is one of the best games on the DS.

Mario Kart is good and all but Crash Team Racing is a step above.

That shouldn't surprise anyone though because the original Crash Bandicoot is a level above Mario 64.

Mario 64 is trash and is only held in high regard for being one of the first marquee 3D games. The gameplay is completely abysmal and it sounds like it's filtered through a tin can.

Nintendo had no clue how to handle movement and camera in 3d on a gamepad, and their confusion caused them to design an insane gamepad for people with 3 hands. It says a lot about mario 64, zelda 64 and goldeneye that anyone has fond memories of them at all, what with the abysmal controls and inexplicable camera behavior

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

tbh i'm a little relieved to see people not totally enamored with Mario 64 in here because i've always thought it was a hideous game with pretty awkward controls that just happens to have enough innovation and weird fun to be playable anyway



after a week+ of sekiro and several months of bloodborne before that i loaded up ds3 for the first time in like 6+ months and just absolutely clowned an early boss i had apparently been stuck on in that character

something about the gunplay in apex legends feels super lovely and bad and it's really frustrating because while i'm a murderbeast at titanfall 2 i feel lucky to squeak out a couple kills in apex


e: and i can get kills in fortnite or whatever, it's like specifically something about apex's mechanics that are not jiving with me on some subconscious level

I feel like it'd be hard as hell to unlearn a lot of Titanfall 2 habits, like double-jumping or wall-running, or baiting opponents into your titan's drop zone. Even if you literally just removed titans from T2 it would still be a way better FPS than Apex Legends.

Probably because the guns in Titanfall 2 are very different than their Apex counterparts, and it's very easy to die to someone with the same gun but better upgrades than you have.

They've aged badly in the years since because they're neither very good shooters nor very good ARPGs.

They were never good to begin with. It was always perplexing why they got so popular (I think they got popular anyway?)

Is this a hot take: None of the far cry games were good and the new ones just feel like tedious repetition

Far Cry has been the exact same game on a different map since 3. That includes Primal.

The best kart game ever was Mario Kart Double Dash but you had to have friends to play it.

I light a shrine in my basement every day and pray for Double Dash 2.

In fact I think it could be a loving awesome move to make it on the Switch due to the whole 2 detachable controllers gimmick.
