Oh I see NOW they're finally hyping up Metal Sonic because they need everyone to think he's tough for that fourth movie and forget what a total jobber he is. This mfer died to a door in CD.
@folvann I played the games in a weird order, started with elden ring, then did kings field the ancient city, and then the dark souls trilogy.
Something about ds2 was very reminiscent of kings fields vibe to me, although i cant pinpoint why
@HollowLeif It's fucked up that they had them readily available, the ones in "SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics" versions on steam were just roms, you could move them outta the files and use your own emulator if you wanted.
Then the sonic ones were delisted cus they want you to buy origins
@AlevtineOnIce I think another big part of it is it's easier to make a complete texture pack when there was a few dozen sprites, current minecraft has a fuckton more textures so a complete visual overhaul is harder to make
Shift to game adaptations in movies following the same developmental path to how games eclipsed comics in the “low culture mass media” vein is interesting to me
