My favorite game of the year so far! Excited for more people to discover it

Man Christian Parker is a disaster. How do you take a historically bad defense and somehow make it worse? Insane work.

People do realize that a specific adaptation or take on a character doesn’t make the version they do like disappear, right? Claiming it “ruined” the character or whatever just doesn’t hold up under scrutiny. The adaptation/story must be approached on its own terms.

Played a bit of the FF Resonance demo last night and firstly, that game is gorgeous. But also really enjoyed the short time I’ve spent so far. I’m unfamiliar with BE, but it seems like they’ve done a good job reinventing the systems to feel nice and their own. No gatcha stink on it.

Haven’t been to the LCS in a couple weeks and really looking forward to picking the books I’ve missed up. Really been enjoying a lot of the stuff coming out right now. Zdarsky’s Avengers event has been a lot of fun and the Fraction Batman stuff has been excellent and Bad Seeds is cool.

One of the weirdest criticisms I’ve seen about the Wolverine game is about how the characters are written. More specifically that they “don’t understand” the characters because they are different than their 616 counterparts. But what does that even mean?

Yknow, in retrospect, it was silly of me to buy into some of the cowboys hype. I just couldn’t fathom how the defense could be any worse than last year but somehow it is.

How on earth does the cowboys defense look WORSE than last year??

Honestly, still kinda excited for Wolverine. I do wonder if it truly will be a swan song for this style of game. Even though I still largely enjoy the design language in these types of games, I certainly would not miss it. There’s just infinitely more interesting things you can do in the space.

As I feared, the Wolverine game seems to be bad. I’m a mark for Marvel and Insomniac so I’ll still be checking it out but man I’m disappointed

Really wish I got fighting games because Marvel Tokon looks fantastic but I tried the beta for a bit and even the tutorial started to fry my brain in ways I didn’t appreciate.

I’m not really sure who the MCU is for anymore. Doomsday seems to simply be a film about going WHOA ITS THAT CHARACTER I LIKE! Do people even like that anymore? Like that was kinda cool for a bit I guess but it’s no longer a novel idea so it’s weird that it’s leaning into that again.

The thing that is most alluring and interesting about Persona is its style and aesthetic which is essentially impossible to replicate in live action so I’m really curious what this is even going to be.

A friend recently was reflecting that they felt art direction in games has gotten generally worse. I think it's a good use of our time & energy to celebrate the fact that while there are a lot of whiffs in the world today, the recent era has also seen some of the greatest of all time

That new onimusha demo is pretty fun. Feels like a more hack-n-slashy take on the Sekiro formula and that really worked for me. I’ve never checked the series out but this one’s definitely piqued my interest.

Debating the Question (are video games art?) is entirely pointless and does very little in criticizing the medium or a specific piece. If you want to treat games as art, critique them as such. “THIS GAME PROVES MY POSITION” is useless and not an actual piece of criticism or even introspection

I don’t really get the Nolan hype tbh. I think he’s a perfectly competent director and his movies are usually an enjoyable watch but there’s very little substance or depth in them that would elevate him to the venerable status lots of folks seem to give him.
