Just play an adventure game because they tend to be the most accessible genre and aren't competitive in anyway. If you're playing obscure arcade fighters I recommend Breaker's Revenge.

GANDHITRON posted:Someone a few days ago was asking about the giallo horror genre and if any games pulled it off. I was going to mention Rule of Rose or Haunting Ground but I never played either and didn't really know if they fit that description. I was hoping someone would talk about those games in general and what makes them special. I remember they both came out around the same time to mixed reception, but one is kind of a cult classic. Rule of Rose isn't giallo inspired though I feel, its much more subdued, unlike gialli which tended very stylistic and loud. The best movie comparison I can give to Rule of Rose is that it feels like the game Guillermo Del Toro would have made if he actually could, it feels very much like Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone in a lot of ways. Funny enough Castlevania actually has gialli inspiration because Michiru Yamane took inspiration from Goblin in her soundtracks.

I forgot to bring it up but Hotline Miami 1 feels kind of like a giallo too, i.e, hyper violent, artistically loud, fever dream atmosphere, masked killer, focus on style over narrative cohesion, etc. It's not 1:1 at all, but there are some similarities.

I should be ashamed for forgetting Koudelka. Karin on the other hand is bad and that whole plot element is the only thing I hate in what otherwise is one of my all time favorite games.

Why not just make a new F-Zero with the Star Fox characters in it? Nintendo really have no idea what to do with Star Fox.

Pirate Jet posted:Yeah tbh if you wanted to make claims like “gaming is dead” you might have wanted to do that when everyone was trying to cash in on Kinect and the Wii. Publishers chasing after that COD money ruined too many good games and I much prefer them chasing games like Overwatch and Fortnite instead because other games can still coexist with them without getting completely dumbed down like back in those COD days.

glam rock hamhock posted:The horrible SH remasters really emphasized the strengths of the original VO. The new, professional voice actors just aren't as good. I can sort of stand it in SH2 but HD SH3 Heather, despite being a far better known more experienced actress, is unbearable to me. It hurts the game far more than all the other ways they hosed it.

Maybe you will like him, too!
