In 2013 I planned going to the movies with a work friend, and another work friend heard about it and went all « Hell yeah, grab some popcorn and have a blast!! »
The movie was « Walesa: Man of Hope », a Polish biopic about an insurrectionist in the 70s
Somehow every videogame conversation is like this
sorry for the delay, voting is now open for the week!
wait is dark souls grimdark
I mean, yeah? It doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Not in the 40K Todd MacFarlane sense or the GRRM sense. Too quiet and mythological, no edge.
it is grim… and dark 
strong disagree. not beating games (especially your favorite) is healthy and extremely not-weird
i guess i’m revealing my ultimate contrarian nature but i would love to have another poll where we can only nominate games we legitimately like which were never included in this contest. start scraping up some weird, hotter, (older) shit
I know I’m getting off topic, but re: having favorite games that you’ve never beaten, hello those are a solid chunk of my favorite games. I think Pathologic 2 might be my favorite game. It grows in stature because of the fact that I have not, possibly cannot, beat it. I haven’t beaten Dragon Quest VII but I still love it.
Hmm…I mean, Rudie might be making a point by how that specific game doesn’t maintain its strong impression, but I figured I’d add my two cents.
To bring it back to the topic at hand, I have never beaten a FromSoftware game but I cherish each one deeply. I love to be confounded and held back from success.
I believe in you F-Zero fans
Speaking of which, I think I’ve reached my limit in Sekiro. I made it a lot farther than I had expected to, and I’m very glad I played the game, but I don’t think I will ever beat that guy on top of the castle.
Last week I said Sega Bass Fishing was one of my favorite games and that was a lie, I had no clue how that game worked, I just remember some sights and sounds and how good it feels to hold a nice strong vibrating rod, I bet every one believed me too. Why did I lie like that?? I don’t know, it was something to say at the time I guess!!
Sometimes people put on airs, even me, I will judge you if you do a bad job of it though. Sorry.
Iirc the monster world 4 thing rudie has posted about before was a 2010’s indie game guy talking about his favorite game in an interview? And admitting he never played it in the same sentence? I hope that’s true, now I want to know who it was.
My favorite game is the Donkey Kong 64 that existed only in my mind prior to its release. It was a great game, and the only problem was that the game came out.
Ugly crying at the DK rap attract mode
It was the developer of Iconoclasts who then revealed they had only played like an hour of it.
Not where I pulled the idea but wow what a long article about a weird video game on Variety!
I also really didn’t like Iconoclasts
I liked the hour I played of Iconoclasts
Never played a Souls but I like Fromsoftware in general because of how iconic their worlds and monsters seem. Like I remember the basic skeleton monsters in Lost Kingdoms feeling like such a good representation of that type of stock fantasy monster that it transcends being generic and becomes iconic.
Anyways I vote for F-Zero GX for doing the most to expand the F-Zero universe
