When I was about 12, the internet was populated almost entirely by these guys.
Their criticisms usually weren't insightful or nuanced, but there was a charm to watching dudes talking about NES games in their bedroom. I miss them :(
This is the kind of thing that brings a tear to my eye. Artists inspired to develop tools that mirrors the workflow of the old masters? Incredible stuff.
@IAmKonX With that mentality 10 years from now you're gonna be saying whatever games are coming out this year suck.
At that point why even bother liking games in general if the enjoyment is only temporary and they're just gonna age poorly and not be worth going back to?
I'll keep saying it but tank controls are still some of the most overhated game mechanics of all time. You're most likely breaking the entire games balance around them and not getting the intended way to play.
@kitsuneredFES This did suck, but I do appreciate that we can still go back and play any version of these games.
If I wanted to re-experience something like FFXV how I originally played it, I don't think you can. It's either completely unpatched or fully updated with all the balance changes.
How is Ridge Racer Type 4 even real... 🥲
It pushes PS1 to its limits - the lighting, the textures, the specular reflections on the cars... it looks miles ahead of most of the games on the platform.
The game's vibes, music and aesthetics are also incredible.
@unyabombr@AxolotlAndyMX@taliesinkincaid Kind of insane take for people to have considering this is literally a line in AC0's intro.
Like they just straight up explain that The Belkan War and by extension all the other conflicts in the series that Belka had involvement in were caused by Belkan right-wing nationalists.
Mikami is arguably the best director to be saying this because not only has he authored some of the most replayable and well designed games ever made, but he's also responsible for creating the videogame series with the most posers out there
If you have the opportunity go OEM when it comes to game hardware. Learn how to restore and care for what you own. My lifelong hobby of tinkering with electronics started when I took apart my PS2 for the first time because of a disc read error.
