The most incredible thing, to me, about this list is that there's so many games on it but I don't agree on a single one

I've only played a couple of those but Desperados III and Touhou Luna Nights are both very good

I'm glad that someone posting "I don't agree with your chronologically ordered list of games you played this year" got people to actually read the list, which otherwise would have just been a post in the wind, unread and unwanted

I read the list because I needed to work out which game to quote for my 'I found the good game' post

bad news for Game Pass, not because of the competition in and of itself but because Sony is likely to moneyhat third-party games to keep them off the competing service (including on PC, where Sony won't even have a directly competing offering). maybe I shouldn't have prepaid for two years

lol if you think sony has the willingness (or even the capability) of putting as much money into a sub service as microsoft

Bloomberg has proven to be a terrible source of rumors. If this happens too, it'll likely just end up being PS Now.

It's pretty much design 101 that MMOs take a lot of their design philosophy from theme parks, but after watching a bunch of Defunctland videos, it really hit me this time around... the long queues... designing the environment for vistas and guided navigation... and my first thought once I had control in the new expansion was "let me snap a photo"

I'm envisioning an arcade cabinet from 1932 with like a scrolling repeating background on two big obvious rollers while a crude music box plinks out Camptown Races and you move a little cast iron statue around with a long boom arm that runs through the cabinet

Will the PS1/2/3 games be local or just cloud garbage? That or the price could sink it for me. PS+ as it is now is unappealing so I’d prefer to just pay to play the old games separately for maybe $50 a year or something

It's... kind of cute I guess, knowing that. As if the video game is a physical object just conveying you along (I was actually thinking about it backwards like it referred to the scenery being conveyed along behind the character but it still works)

However beat 'em up' is also really great and has this nostalgic 80s feel to it that I appreciate. Like, there's no way some new genre of video game would get a name like that these days

This is the worst part about FF14 because progressing is gated by the main story, so you can't continue until you do these dungeons and sometimes they are back to back.
