For real, co-op games are the best as long as they aren't too punishing.

I'd love to play Goemon's Great Adventure with a friend, but that game is pretty difficult at times.

The Goemon games loving ruled, in the pre-Pokemon era it was one of the first times I ever encountered anything that was so explicit about how Japanese it was. It took me forever to figure out how to leave the room you start Mystical Ninja in because of those sliding paper doors that look just like the wall.

its very funny to me that people in tyool 2016 still argue that the first few re games are good games.

no, they are one step above visual novel puzzlers, they barely have gameplay.

American releases of Japanese games being unbalanced to make them more difficult and punishing as a way of combating rentals by making it harder to play through them in a weekend is one of history's greatest injustices. I can't imagine how much less tedious the original RE would have been if it still had had auto-aim and more save ribbons and less punishing difficulty like the original JP release did.

Gearbox announcing that they are re-releasing Bulletstorm for a full $50 seems like a perfect capstone to a year full of terrible and overpriced HD remasters. Even if it does finally make DukeVision a reality.

The TMP is good for conserving ammo by stunning dudes with one leg shot and then kicking/suplexing them, only thanks to the game's dynamic ammo drops conserving ammo just means you get less of it so you may as well go hog wild since it balances out in the end.

so Let It Die is basically a Souls game with 200x the personality and style but also 100x worse combat and fighting. real shame because the game and everything about it is very cool but how the gently caress did they step back and say "yes this combat is perfect, no lock-ons no real counters just roll dodge like a loving moron all day btw your weapons break after 7 seconds"

If the combat was good and inventory stuff wasn't grindy then how could they make that sweet, sweet IAP money?

Also if you want your game protagonist to have some depth and a socially acceptable reason to be emotional but still absolutely have to have them be a gruff white dude with short brown hair being a parent is a quick and easy solution.

Really? Cuz the reviews seem pretty positive. Granted almost all of them say "If you're a fan of the first Dead Rising you won't like this one but if you liked how 3 did things then come on in." so there's that caveat.

I'm happy that after Devil may Cry Capcom is still resurrecting dead franchises to make fun games that utterly infuriate fans of the original because they're The Wrong Kind Of Fun.

non-sequitur:

I am assuming that if Mads Mikkelsen's scene from the last Death Stranding teaser is in the game, his helmet isn't actually going to disintegrate like that. I think it was done for dramatic effect and to reveal the likeness of Mads Mikkelsen.

But it would be fine and cool if it's just part of his tactical necromancer powers.

That same effect was in Phantom Pain when the Skulls materialize guns out of the air when you first meet them. I think he just really likes it because it looks cool.

I can't imagine Hayter doing the speech at the end of Mission 43 and it being anything but laughable.He was great back in the day but MGSV was so different from the rest of the series I don't think he would have been a good fit. Christopher Randolph only worked because he was acting completely against type so even his terrible fake crying worked in context.

It's widely speculated that the reason both MGS5s have so little Snake dialogue (something everyone complained about) is because Sutherland's rates were much higher than the other VAs.

I have a hard time buying this considering that a chatty Venom Snake goes completely against the story, direction, and tone of MGSV as a whole.

I used to think that live speedrunning was way better than tool-assisted because of the crazy amount of skill it took, but but now that speedrunners are all trying to put themselves in the spotlight and become personalities and entertainers I love TAS way more because a clever and concise video showing something crazy and explaining how they did it is so much better than hours of a bunch of dudes on a couch trying to make jokes.

That and the people who actually made most of Fez quit before release because of how insufferable he was. That's why the game was delayed for years and why he needed that big important legal agreement signed in Indie Game: The Movie before he could actually release it.
