Miles Morales is good.

Peter Parker is also good.

Spider-Man is... good.

quick horizon question: is going into the zero dawn facility at sunfall the point of no return for the end of the game? sylen's dialog before you go in makes it sound like it but it might also just be 'you won't be able to leave until you finish what's in there so don't go in with low resources'

It's not.

It's cool how we started out with remasters that were lazy upscales and moved on to remakes that were ground-up rebuilds that were faithful recreations and now we seem to be moving towards remakes that actually change/rework stuff like RE2make, FF7re and now Soulstorm (maybe Demon's Souls but it might also go into category 2)

They're becoming more of a trend now though.

Hellblade is very good. I actually really liked its combat, though it was lacking in enemy variety. Puzzles weren't great but it's cool how they were based in some way on perspective, and often twisting the environment to see symbols which goes with the psychosis theming. Some of the best atmosphere I've ever seen in a game.

I made a decent-ish Bugsnax gang tag, hope you like it:



I considered changing "Pak" to "PAC" but I realized that probably wouldn't scan in all caps, lmao.


I'm generally annoyed by audio logs in most games, especially when you can't move away from them while they play, but by the end of Horizon those audio logs were the best part of a really great game.

I would say the room full of logs from Helis were the exception, all the ones from the old world were really cool but having a room just full of backstory for the bad man wasn't very good.

Despite the anime characters, there's something about the style that makes me think of Western comic books. Looks real cool.

Chuds hate it because you play as a non sexualised gay lady, , cspam folks hate it because it's a really clumsy attempt at a "makes u think" narrative about revenge and comes off as a much less good version of Spec Ops: The Line.

Something I love about the enemy design in HZD is that enemies like Thunderjaws and Stormbirds are terrifying when you first face them, but by the endgame you develop your skills and strategies and learn ways to safely eliminate them in 30 seconds.

I love Tombi/2 but eesh. Those games are good because they’re pulled off perfectly and are dripping with charm.

I haven't played Tombi 2 but the first was one of my favourite games on the original Playstation. What an incredible fever dream of a game.

TLJ was loving terrible, much like basically anything that holds the Star Wars name that isn’t one of the 3 actual Star Wars movies, a 90’s video game, or Rogue One, the one Star Wars offshoot thing that amazingly wasn’t bad (but SW fans didn’t like for some reason because they’re super dumb)

Fallen Order and The Mandalorian were both very good tho

People kept making fun of the English Sekiro VA and I'm like... wait people play the game about Samurai and Shinobi, set in 1500s Japan, with default Japanese VA in a language other than Japanese

some people like to understand the words that are being said without needing to read subtitles

I like foreign language subbed movies, but for some reason in games it doesn't work for me.

Once upon a time, a game would get either extreme bonus points or a dirty scowl from me depending on how cool the boss/zone title placards were. This goes back to Ocarina of Time, where each boss had a title card of their name and a short scientific-looking description of their appearance, until you got to Ganondorf's final form, who is introduced simply as "GANON" in what may be the best 5 seconds of any video game ever made.

I love how Hollow Knight did this. Bosses get a name popup in the corner.

The final boss gets a big name, in the centre of the screen.

The real final boss gets this title card.

edit: One other boss gets a similar treatment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JWQ9KjwPyE&t=1s

Title cards are fun and cool!
