My "MASTERPIECE" megathread. Games that are true 10/10s.

Near-flawless representation of their genre, showed real innovation, & left a memorable mark on their audience.

1988: Mega Man 2
1990: Secret of Monkey Island
1991: Zelda - A Link to the Past
1992: Streets of Rage 2

I'm gonna say it. The Knicks do not deserve to win at home when the cheapest seat is like $5,000 AND they allowed their overflow watch party to be cancelled.

Persona discourse is always so fascinating. People are now arguing that Persona 4 Golden is not the definitive version and screwed up a bunch of things from the og.

... k. lol.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

@mel_25252 It is the most flawed, breakable, absurd installment in the series. Nothing makes sense, there's cut content all over the place.

And yet. Most people love it anyways.

I don't recommend it as one of the first games to play though.

Not a fan of Atlus dropping the CRV TV filter for when you are dungeon crawling inside the TV world.

I hope there are at least moments where we see it.

@Lordofkirby64 My steak is too juicy and my lobster too buttery.

@Mrhappy1227 Coulda had a 6-7 but nooooooo. I guess Kefka would've thought it was cringe.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

@NicoB7700 That's not really what they did to the designs. They stretched everyone's face vertically. The nose is a byproduct of that.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

@SpawnWaveMedia FFX does not need a remake. It's the perfect version of what it is. The only things fans even want are:

- Endgame Bevelle
- Better worldmap for Airship travel.
- Better progression pacing for the Dark Aeons.

A small DLC is all that would be needed.

I'm ngl, Persona 5 killed this for me. I bought it day 1 (4/4/17), started it in August of that year, and before I even finished the game, Persona 5 Royal was announced (3/24/19).

[Soop-kart14 (COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!!!) @Superguy551]

Should I even buy persona 6. Cuz like a year or two later they’re gonna make persona 6 buttblast or something that has new content, characters and is the definitive version of the game

⚡️Iranian official says, “At this point, reaching an agreement [with Trump] is not really feasible.”

🔺 “The primary person responsible for the current situation is Donald Trump himself,” the Iranian official told me, referring to Israel’s massive escalation in its attacks against Lebanon and Iran’s retaliatory strikes against Israel.

🔺 “Should Israel carry out another attack on Beirut in the coming days, missiles will immediately target areas within the occupied territories in retaliation,” the official said.

🔺 “For nearly 20 days, the draft of a potential agreement has been on [Trump’s] desk,” said the official, adding that Trump is “driven by his fear of the Israeli lobby and his hope that the naval blockade plan will prove effective.”

“Iran will no longer accept or tolerate his current position.”

🔺The two central issues the official emphasized are: Israel’s war against Lebanon and expanded occupation of the south; and Trump’s refusal to unfreeze Iranian funds for reconstruction.

I know it's tricky to do, but I think it would be an excellent decision for Square-Enix to actually endorse Frosty's work here.

This event is large enough that it warrants more official oversight. The game should absolutely white-list participants for World First eligibility.

In regards to the placement of the Dancing Mad - Ultimate World Race.

Please keep in mind we are still letting the community evaluate the VODs and a different decision could be made if necessary, but these are the thoughts before that is done.

I genuinely didn't know Towelliee was this stupid. Hopefully leakers will find someone else to funnell information through because this is deeply embarrassing.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

Imagine thinking that FFXIV only has 5-10k players a day logging in lmao.

The FFXIV Client on Steam gets ~30k alone. It's own launcher is much more popular than that. There's still thousands of subscribers that use the PS4 and thousands more that play on PS5.

@towelthetank Age of Conan was an unbelievable game.
Wildstar was ridiculously good.

Average MMO "everyday players" don't gaf if the game is actually designed well, if its fun, balanced, creative, etc.

It's all just small dopamine hits for walking zombies that barely qualify as sentient.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

@towelthetank Absolutely braindead take to assume a game is mediocre because its audience is small.

The method devs would need to use to attract the "everyday player" (re: lowest common denominator) is to have brainless collection grinding with zero challenge and minimal actual gameplay.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

I am torn on Persona 4 Revival. The character portraits have lost the style & flavor of the original. Their faces are stretched vertically.

Hoping the voice acting and improved gameplay is so good I don't care.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

We don't because, while most Spiderman fans will never admit it, the first Spiderman movie was kinda awful.

[Lyth ♠️ @Lytherian]

We should talk about William Dafoe Green Goblin the way we talk about Heath Ledgers Joker. A generational performance

Alex Smith got screwed over so hard with his injury in Washington. Was so happy to see that dude fight back and play ball again before he retired.

[Nationalize Blizzard👓 @CallMeGdubG]

@AilurusNova I mean it's incredibly difficult to start from scratch and hit discoverability.

You can literally type in someone's user name into OF and their search results will rarely find them.

You gotta advertise a LOT.

@northgalis His visual design is based off of a Dutch conqueror, who would wear vibrant colors like that of a peacock in order to establish an alpha, dominant status.
