I'm using October to play some scary games I've never touched and run through Silent Hill 1 through 4. I'm stuck in the hospital in Silent Hill 1

So, like, is it me or is Pac-Man Championship Editon 2 kind of overly-bloated? I think i liked the first one more. The new one has more features but they feel kinda gimmicky rather than fun and the massive nerf to ghosts just feels weird.

I like CE2 a lot more just because they made high scoring runs more complicated. You need to be really really good at heading off ghost trains during the eating phase and understanding how to optimally position fruit during the pellet phase to shave seconds off your run. I've been playing it once or twice a day since release and trying to get better, but people in the top 10 are really staring to widen the gap in ability

Someone explain to me why Silent Hill 1 has not yet been remade.

It's so loving good but also so loving ugly so it's like the number one game due for a good hard remaking, come on.

Ive been playing it this week and its not that ugly. The terrible draw distance just got utilized as aesthetic and it works pretty well

I like EU4 enormously more than CKII, there's just a big patch and expansion coming next week and I wanted to play a map game so I chose to install and boot up CKII for the first time in 4 years instead and I realize I cannot remember how to play this game for the life of me

basically i just conquer all races and purge the ugly ones and let the pretty ones be scientists and generals in my beautiful utopia

e: also i play hyperlanes only which is the only true way to play

e2: when you and another large empire team up to crush a third large empire, and then a weak empire grinds themselves down to get the scraps and you conquer them too 😘👌

I thought the coolest way to play was the wormhole one because you could super devious with war strategies

What most people consider "indie development" currently though is just how video game development functioned prior to the 3D era, with the key difference being that people actually finished the games thy made instead of ripping people off with Early Access

For Coin-optober you should see if you live near any arcades and play any game you can find that would be impossible to emulate properly because of the cabinet design and play that because they're unique experiences that won't exist once the hardware breaks

Yeah, two of the most popular franchises in American had some crazy poo poo. It's way more common in Japanese games.

I mean theres still stuff in like Dead Island and Witcher and others. Its not uncommon. Hell even indie games are starting to ship with physical bonus goodies like Shantae and Shovel Knight, although more than likely thats because pretty clearly inspired by the Japanese counterparts

Yeah I know that AAA games tend to get big fancy preorder packages, I just meant that it seems like a lot of japanese games have it regardless and I wasn't sure if that was just confirmation bias on my part or if japan actually does do that kind of thing more often with its games, both AAA and not

I have to imagine the Japanese stuff just gets more coverage because people are like "look at this crazy one that has a boob mousepad" or w/e. Same reason why Dead Island got so much coverage

Its so crazy that the PS4 has been out for 3 years and Sony has brought out one exclusive game of note. Think of the library PS2 had by 2003 and its shameful in comparison
