the way he says ‘hello’, his little dance and ‘i made one of the best games ever, and the worst game ever’ and his camo pants are all videogame things i think about a lot
what is the room he was dancing in… who were the other people watching him dance??? i would watch a 90 minute documentary on this commercial ive seen it so many fucking times
Oh my gosh I love this guy.
mario kart 8 is old enough that the included batteries in this rc toy kart somebody gifted me were leaking
isn’t this just a fair question to ask? I would put it to Google before making a reddit thread, but, y’know, redditors…
I definitely think about playing mother 3 in english a lot, with my printed out script translation in a binder, trying my hardest not to read ahead
same though I think I had it on a computer monitor in front of me mostly
I wanted to play it outside so bad and I didnt have a laptop
chapter six reveal while sitting in grass is pretty nice
The “where can I play” amused me.
On a bus, in a bar, at home, somewhere far.
Staring at /retrogaming to keep myself off even worse sites there is amazing level of people who
A. Don’t understand websites exist
B. Do not know roms/emulators exist
C. Think repros/pirates are magic lost gifts from Nintendo
D. 19 year olds who just got their first NES
E. People who will post recent ebay purchases as “my girlfriends grandma just gave this to me.”
Stolen valor from the community of people whose girlfriend’s grandmas really do love them
yeah, it’s worth considering that beyond good and evil was mostly “good” bc it came from an era before bioshock made everyone realize that having “art direction” was a good thing, actually.
anyway stray is basically beyond good & evil 2 which is pretty good news for people who for whatever reason really wanted that, but not good news for anyone who wanted to stray to actually be a good game.
I ignored Beyond Good and Evil for several years because I thought a game with a name like that couldn’t possibly be good but when I eventually tried it I really liked it. I played it a second time a few years ago and I still think it’s good.
Some of the things I liked about it:
If true, I think this may be the first positive thing I’ve heard about Stray.
Yeah trying to square Stray with BG&E and cannot do it.
I’m being kind of glib but as I got further into it it kept reminding me of beyond good & evil. not in a bad way, except compared to what stray was in my mind before ever playing it. stray promised a lot of exploring but doesn’t really deliver aside from a few contained areas, and it frequently gets in the way of its own atmosphere.
I should be clear that I don’t dislike beyond good & evil either, I just think it’s kind of thin. I remember having a good time with it and then never wanting to replay it again. I still feel that way all these years later. felt the exact same way playing stray. they’re both games that coast on vibes and art direction without ever bothering to do much with their admittedly interesting mechanical ideas.
both are worth playing though it’s hard to recommend with much enthusiasm.
reminded of a reddit post i saw the other week from a dad who got their son a bootleg nes/snes/genesis combo, and then was confused by the fact the SNES copy of Metroid: Zero Mission he ordered to go with it was perhaps not a genuine Nintendo product (it’s a nasty hack for sickos)
really not sure what to make of it. I’d like to say he should have known better, but I’m not sure if that’s realistic or fair.
i own a real copy of this game
it’s too fuckin hard
