It doesn't play well but in terms of wobbly squares I think silent hill 1 is my favorite PSX game because of how it works for that setting. The limited render distance, all the walls looking like pulsating vomit, the fixed camera angles that would trick your mind...it's nearly perfect

tbh i'm sadder about legends 3 than i am about half-life 3 because legends 3 actually has bits of concept work that exist and are really good, like the new character's design was actually really, really good and the sample music track was loving

it's incredibly taunting that all the tiny little bits shown for the game are exactly what i wanted from legends and it got killed before anyone could even see if the game was actually good

Oh yeah I mean there's lots of PS1 games I like, especially SH1, but I'd be hard pressed to say any of them played well

not to be mean but you're super into the megaman gba games at the very least so it's pretty obvious you'd be more broken up about a megaman game being canceled than a half life game

I went back and forth between minecraft and dayz and I decided to go with dayz, given how the big games that fit that mold that came after were based around that artstyle / gameplay style (rust, the forest, the culling, h1z1, ark, pubg)

i'd love an inti legends game if only because based on their early ps1 work it would be a way more fun game mechanically but it'll probably never happen unless they got a whooooooooooole lot of money

speed power gunbike and love & destroy are surprisingly badass action games for the ps1 that are only held back by uh, being on the ps1. i actually want a remake of gunbike to give it better controls

Minecraft is actually playable without massive glitches killing your enjoyment of the game, unlike DayZ.


Edit - DayZ still has a 5 year old bug that has you clipping through the bottom of buildings and dying due to collision.

Re: Monster Hunter, I've never played them but saw MHW is coming to PC but that there's also a game called Dauntless. I'm excited for both of those games, but will probably not actually play them due to effort and time.

I'd like to thank this thread for introducing me to two different games this year that I loved and where I basically have to work my rear end off just to come up with minor nitpicks. I don't mind being relentlessly critical and negative as long as the possibility of real improvement exists, and if I focused entirely on broad trends from AAA developers as they compromise on every aspect of the genres I enjoy, I would lose sight of that for sure.

Dauntless looks like a cash grab to me, $80 founders packs and people saying it's generally just OK.

My friend, have you heard the good word of Toukiden?* Might spoil you for MHW though, since Toukiden is a dramatically streamlined version of Monster Hunter.

I saw Hollow Knight on GOG but haven't gotten it. Shadow Tactics is awesome and I enjoyed it a lot. It's super frustrating too because I am not used to some of it's "older school" stuff anymore.

MHW is the online one yeah. Dauntless looks fine, and it's going to be F2P so I'm just going to hold out. I like it's art style, etc.

I had no problems with the ports of either game, while others have had it run like rear end, if at all. It's all up to whether you want to roll the dice, I suppose.

Oh and playing Starcraft Remastered is good and cool and you should all replay the campaign from SC1 & Brood War. Good poo poo.

Oh. I don't know much about that series so I just assumed MHW is the online version. All I know is it's supposed to be on PC and that's good.

Yeah. I heard more "it runs like rear end" than "it runs fine" reports.


Laura Kate Dale is a transgender games journalist/writer who writes for Kotaku UK and is all around a nice person. She made a YouTube video series talking about butts in video games and comparing character butts because why not I guess. Anyway, she's been doing a series of articles about harassment related to video games and online stuff and her most recent article was with TotalBiscuit and more about the nuts & bolts of how to deal with that stuff (shutting off YouTube comments, blocking, having moderators etc.) which is fair since he's one of the more notable/longstanding YouTube people when it comes to games (regardless of if you like him or not). Apparently the article got published on what is the "anniversary of gamergate" and people got made at LKD over the piece talking to Totalbiscuit (who I guess was somehow involved early on in it all) and then started to harass her to the point she just up and quit most of her social media platforms so she'd stop being harassed by them.

Not trying to start a Gamergate discussion or anything. Just saying it's a lovely thing to happen to someone who was doing a good series of articles about harassment, and got harassed as a result. Her non-article stuff was pretty entertaining and fun if you are of the "video games are not meant to be super serious all the time" mentality.
