Eh, it's another example of story and gameplay clashing. I can't say it bothers me - I just kinda accept it. Not the same trope, but it was pretty funny to me when [mild ffvii rebirth spoilers] SPOI...

This is adorable. Instantly takes me back to that time, when I was around the same age (but definitely wasn't lucky enough to get an N64 at launch!) Thanks for sharing.

I first played this on an emulator in the late 90's. It already seemed "retro" then even though it was only a few years old. (That tells you something about the pace of technology changing during that...

I also have zero interest in those types of games but... I mean... that's fine? I really can't complain about the dearth of single-player games to occupy my time. My feeling is that it's been an embar...

Nice review. It's interesting to hear the perspective on it from someone who never played the 1997 version. I picked up a PS5 recently specifically to play this, but I need to get through Remake firs...

@imunbeatable80:Sorry, definitely didn't mean to imply you were depressed or something. More just thinking about myself and the various reasons why I wouldn't feel up to playing a game. Basically my ...

Hmm. I don't think games should be a chore. Unless you feel a certain responsibility to do it - like for a blog or review deadline or whatever - then I don't see what it accomplishes to force yourself...

I can't seem to play any 3D platformer without wishing it was Mario. Specifically in terms of controls. Parkouring my way through levels while barely stopping to touch the ground feels amazing. I can'...

Misclicking on this thread lead me to this ancient thread where I said:@wollywoo said:I loved the first game. Strangely enough, I wasn't quite that excited for a sequel, because I felt I had had my fi...

I think it'll come out. I'm happy they're taking their time with it. One of the thing that made Hollow Knight fun was the sheer variety of areas, enemies and powers, so the extra time taken for Silk...

Hmm. I'm not quite sure I agree with the premise, but if true, perhaps it's because the Switch is something of a workhorse for this generation. It's not as flashy or impressive as its rivals, but it's...

Last of the Mohicans (1992). 3.5/5. This is a film set in 1757 during the French and Indian / Seven Years War, an under-utilized period for storytelling. For some reason I began listening to the (exce...

I'm only nostalgic for games that were released before I was 19 or so. After that, it's all "new stuff" to me (even if it's actually like 15 years old...)

@gamer_152 said:@bisonhero: I have Pikmin 4, but still haven't played it. Super Mario 3D Land has been my Switch game to work through before getting to it. I am really interested to see Nintendo take...

My impression is that Xbox (the brand) is not going anywhere. MS just has a different revenue model than the others and it's not too dependent on having its own big boxes in your living room. My gut ...

I feel this way sometimes. Maybe do some other things for a while? You could always practice a skill/hobby, like art or music, if you have some extra free time. If you really just want to chill with g...
