I’d hear stories from the QA pits that made me wonder if they actively went out of their way to make the testers miserable

I’m not the one to tell it, but yeah, they absolutely did
My understanding is that they rode the same edge of the law as all the contract laborers here. But having a NLRB worth something and a tight labor market for the first time in like 50 years sure makes a lot of difference on where that edge is.

No sane Valis fan wants the MD version of 1 and SD Valis when the first collection had the PCE versions of 1 and 2
They are bad games
Though I suppose they’re all bad games bar 3 and 4
Also, where are the billion computer versions or the weird Famicom port of 1
I want that watch though and I guess the exchange is in my favor…

My favorite game is to watch people play/stream Valis 3 and see how long it takes for them to figure out that they have to slide over long gaps instead of jumping
Followed by seeing them play the water canal level

Interesting crossed wires from a recent interview with the Prime devs
It turns out Nintendo didn’t really know what a bounty hunter was, despite describing Samus as that since the first game in 1986. Instead they saw her as a space adventurer with a heart of gold, which didn’t fit with the open world bounty hunting concept.

it’s that sort of super-power that keeps Japan top of the world in baffling game titles

this rules. i want to imagine some opposite scenario where Konami originally pitched the TMNT games as stealth assassination sims

Not quite crazy enough

the opening ten seconds that’s supposed to show the crazy stuff is just showing colorful gta. watching further, yeah, they’re not showing off what I care about, they’re making a trailer for monster factory fans. I know it’s specially a customization trailer but why that first?
when they were making saints row 2 some devs were having an argument over whether the motorcycles should have katanas on them and a lead dev said NO ONE CARES ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT FOCUS ON THE GAME (someone find this interview so I can quote it better) and this trailer is like look. a skull on the motorcycle. we don’t care about focusing on making the game anymore
all new games are bad so I wasnt expecting anything from this anyway. gat out of hell and agents of mayhem ended my love affair with the saints row universe

im just glad they kept fursuits tbh.
they should have added more fursuits saints row should have closed species drama by now, gimmie protogens (haha autocorrected to proto gems) and dutch angel dragons or whatever, and a mission where you break into the colorado nazi furry compound and burn all their racist paraphenelia and then escape in a blimp shaped like a penis. I want to be SURPRISED again about how much attention they’re paying when the game started dev. fursuits were a big deal when they first had em but everyone’s a furry now! DIG DEEPER
hopefully I eat my words and the game is great but all games are bad now like I said (I will never recover from horizon 2) so I have no expectations

That felt mega lazy but I did get a kick out of the knock off of Tom Daniel’s Red Baron and, of all things, the flames on aqua paint job on the 57 Chevy a la M.A.S.K.
