I can tell everyone who plays on the marvel heroes server is old because like two people have made disparaging comments at me for having the username CourtneyLove. However I would like to give a shoutout to the person who seemed to think there was a chance Courtney Love actually played a long-dead Marvel themed Diablo 2 game and was genuinely excited

thought i would finally give shadow the hedgehog a try, seeing as iâve gone my whole life not playing it, merely assuming it could not be anything more than mediocre
jesus fucking christ we have a new contender for worst video game ever made

wish there was a shadow mission where i could kill espio the chameleon so he can finally SHUT THE FUCK UP and stop chastising me every time i have the audacity to so something as fucked up as âdestroying robots that keep shooting at meâ or âattack dr eggman according to his very specific instructions while iâm trying to navigate these terrible controlsâ
i know knuckles chaotix is the thinking manâs sonic and as such espio is a thinking animal but maybe he should think about sucking on my dick and balls

Tried out Cult of the Lamb because it was on Steam sale. Iâm more into roguelites than most people on this forum because I love to mute them and listen to music or podcasts while I play. Itâs my favorite way to unwind. However⌠I refunded this game after 20 minutes. This is the video game equivalent of a big trend in board games â the kickstarter game that gets huge hype for its cute YA-graphic-novel-ish art and fun theme, but then when you actually play it, you find out the game design just isnât there at all, and itâs miserable to play.
I guess people like this hot topic sillygoth type of stuff, but its Donât Starve style pop up book graphics really donât lend themselves well to zelda style combat. Terrible feel to it, and very difficult to read. On top of that, my first run got interrupted halfway through by a screen full of bushes they expected me to laboriously pick berries from like itâs a shitty Animal Crossing clone⌠Hell no, Iâm out.
I also picked up Rogue Legacy 2 even though I didnât like the first one at all. The second one is leagues better, and Iâve been having some fun with it⌠But I donât respect it. Itâs for roguelite sickos only; nobody here should waste their time on it.

I came into Cult of the Lamb from the opposite direction, from the early trailers making it look like Animal Crossing creepypasta. It was a disappointment for me too, since it was very system heavy instead of just letting you vibe in a quant animal town where occasionally you put on robes and sacrifice the mailman.

it is a game for 12-year-olds, despite the presentation making it look like angsty hot topic animal crossing. I couldnât read the combat at all but to younger eyes, it was perfectly serviceable
mechanically, the overall game is extremely easy. no way to lose once you work out the basics. you will continue to improve way past the challenges just by progressing steadily on the upgrade trees
there is a certain audience for the humour of imprisoning dissidents and patiently waiting for them to reconsider their ways while you cycle an endless stream of loyal followers into marriage and then the subject of a sacrifice ritual (for the buff improvement for offering a spouse). not the first spouse tho, they get a special house (shack) to sleep in away from the poop farm. and raised from the dead every time they die of old age. zombie wife my beloved, letâs get you your cocoa (dezombification berry juice)
attacking the bushes destroys them and the berries drop as regular pickups

With the family out tonight I finally started Slitterhead. I was ready to get real spooked.
Itâs mostly a ghost asking a young girl where prostitutes hang out.
I played too much Fortnite and now instantly recognize any Unreal Engine skeletons/stock movements.
So far my biggest fear of why Kowloon and Hong Kong in the 80s was just because it looks cool is absolutely true. There is absolutely no humanity or politics to this game (so far.) Youâre a nameless ghost sent to kill the secret alien/demon/bugs hiding amongst the populace. Sure you possess people too, but you possess them to save them (nevermind when you in a tutorial jump off a building and posess someone on the ground and watch the first body go splat and people freak out. I only see a news story about that once a month and only sometimes does a bystander also get killed, but go off video game mechanic.)
Going back to Final Fantasy XIII, I am afraid Slitterhead is just a video game. The in-game title reveal is a way way better logo than the actual logo. Shockingly better.

SB. Please. A request. Save your pithy analogies on such digital narrative engines as this until RQ gets his PS4.
Then we can analogise together.
Thanks You.

I think it helped me to consider Slitterhead a nice little homage to Category III HK films when I was playing it. Although, I canât disagree with the general tone of your assessment I suppose.

Play The Sims 1 and create a house clone like my new house irl that is being built. Many issues arise in the game like a small kitchen and blocked pathways. In the end me and my wife died in the kitchen due to a fire.
Now Iâm Googling family fire extinguisher.

In Before Your Eyes you play as the spirit of the recently deceased Benny, and youâre about to face Judgment (I believe it is alluded to that youâre to be brought before Anubis or face a similar judgment). Youâre sent back to relive all your memories to help your spirit intermediary plead your case for entrance into the afterlife.
So you experience Bennyâs childhood, who is gifted musically and winds up with his mother trying to live vicariously through him because her own musical ambitions faded after he was born.
Now the thing is you control this game by blinking. Hover your cursor over items to interact with and blink. Thereâs also occasionally a metronome icon that appears on screen and if you blink the vignette youâre currently in ends and you time skip forward to the next scene. Naturally it can be hard to control this but I think thatâs the point
You get to choose to perform certain prompted actions or not, though they donât seem to change the overall arc of the game. Iâve spoiled myself on the ending and Iâll admit it doesnât play out exactly as I expected it would but ultimately this game is awkward enough to play that I donât regret not playing the whole thing. I donât think the blinking mechanic really adds as much as the devs wanted it to. However, kudos for trying something a bit different!

I put about 40 minutes in so far and I find the loop very satisfying.
