Left in the box or left in *existence*?

actually I see your point

What about Mario games where you say you have X number of Marios left. Is each life therefore its own Mario, complete in itself, a full and distinct Mario?

One, there's only ever been one apple. All apples we supposedly interact with are shadows of the true apple.

I mean it's no Metroid Prime Remaster, but it'll do

If only they had done to Jet Force Gemini what they did with Dinosaur Planet. Only instead of Star Fox it's Metroid, cut out the guy, turn the girl into Samus and keep the dog.

Bam, now Samus has a dog named Lupus. The rest of the franchise continues as normal in this timeline, just with a dog who can use a gun always comes along.

Considering current trends in video game this is probably gonna happen regardless, just look at Pikmin 4.

As a trans lady, I wish people would please stop focusing on the trans aspect of the game. I'm sure the lovely game isn't really transphobic.

But like it does include the antisemitic Jewish standins by the clearly antisemitic author. Like, lots of TERFs Rowling hangs out with are huge antisemites and she liked LibsofTikTok for supporting loving Kanye West. Like... it's a really bad choice in the actual game it seems.

the antisemitic stuff is more likely a product of the original head developer and his team than rowling’s original material, he runs one of those right wing culture war youtube channels and probably thought it would be a laugh to play up that part of the setting

oh no, my man.

the original material is absolutely one hundred percent the greedy jew trope. like, pitch perfect, older than the roman empire, hook nose, sharp teeth, runs the banks, you literally can't do it any harder.

Troy Leavitt wasn't a writer. And "his team" weren't writers either, nor are they scumbags like he was. I don't think he even had any direct reports.

Finished FF3 today, the ending was sorta cool after having played through the Crystal Tower quests in 14. I guess the reverse of how you would be expected to do it haha. Enjoyed the game though!

Have started on FF4 and it's absolutely great. I am really enjoying the focus on the story this time. I feel like all of the first 4 games so far have really had their own different identity and I love that.

This series rules...

:D You are ahead of me by three games but this makes me happy to hear. I have played the back lot and one of my favourite things about them is how distinct they all are. Even the direct sequel to FFX is stylistically so different to it.

Best video game franchise :hai:

yeah that's a fair point, the antisemitism baked right into the plot is nuts and a more clear indictment of the game than any vague connection to JK Rowling.

that being said pulling a publicity stunt and having a trans character to try and save face but also naming her sirona Ryan is just...:crabcourse:

I've been finding it difficult to game for the last couple of weeks due to personal poo poo so I've decide to take a break from The Last Remnant and instead go for some FPS action with Resistance 2. The first chapter has a really cool moment where you spend most of it in an underwater facility but then near the end you reach the surface and bam your on the banks of the bay next to the Golden Gate Bridge and the sky is filled with a fuckton of giant invading alien ships and all of a sudden your in a warzone and it was really dang cool.

The game is a fairly average shooter so far except they've changed the colour scale from the previous game from brown to orange. Everything is so very orange.

Korn, who released their debut in 1994, has sold more than 30 million records worldwide, releasing seven consecutive multi-platinum selling albums. Their latest untitled album was released in July of this year, debuting at #2 on the US album charts and #3 on the European album charts. Lead singer Jonathan Davis has often mentioned a love for video games, including games from Ubisoft like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Vegas and Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2.

"Gaming for me is a religion and Haze is the poo poo!" said Jonathan Davis. "I had to come up with a track that can hit up that kind of rush I get from the game and I think we really rocked it!!"
