It's pretty insane to imply that the new Resident Evil movie has contempt for the medium of video games because it's been a long time since I've seen a movie that was such a clear love letter to video games and specifically Resident Evil.

Any other year, Onimusha: Way of the Sword would have been my Game of the Year. Unfortunately, Control: Resonant comes out in less than a month. Great attempt though.

It's too late, I have already depicted myself as the calm and collected Miyamoto Musashi and you as the wailing, petrified demon wall.

This might be the most insane effect I've ever seen in a game lmao

I think StarFox looks pretty sweet actually. Looking forward to it.

People posting "clearly you've never seen Tifa fight" and then posting a video that would only be a combo in a Marvel Vs Capcom game which they refuse to play because it's confusing and "broken".

A big problem with video game discussion online is that people take disappointment to be a personal slight and unfairly malign otherwise decent games for not living up to the expectations set by their predecessors or that they set in their head. And then they never let that go.

I said from day 1 that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an exercise on focusing your development time on the aspects that actually matter and this is totally in line with that. But people will use this as an excuse to say its bad or something.

Credits on Nioh 1. This game definitely takes some shaky steps but it nails the rest with confidence. It doesn't get enough credit for how early it showed up to the "Soulslike" party and not only nailed it but made something entirely unlike any of the trend chasers.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Can't think of a better way to celebrate stories that explore the nature of humanity like Yoko Taro's work and Neon Genesis Evangelion than some absolute AI bullshit. So sad to see a talented artist resort to this crap.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Not being allowed to laugh at ridiculous marketing statements without being called "miserable" by social media users has led to the absolute insane statement of the game's target audience being "content lovers" lmao

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

People just dunking on this without reading his points are part of the issue. Highguard may have never succeeded regardless but so much online/social media content now is lame and leans negative for no other reason than it gets more engagement than an evenhanded perspective.

Having a great time with Nioh 1. I've put it off for ages and I was even in one of the first beta's for it but just never made the time. Plus you play as an Irish guy and the game starts with you murdering the English and fleeing to Japan so finally I feel represented.

Just read someone saying "If you want to get rid of Riot from the FGC then we would have to get rid of SNK too."

I was perfectly content with never thinking about this show again after doing a 4 hour podcast until Foxcade decided to weigh in. One of the best to ever do it. Just finished this video and it's fantastic, watch it!

I remember going over every screenshot of the Devil May Cry van in the DMC5info days but somehow I still missed a detail. Nico has a "Proud to be Single" bumper sticker but with "Single" ripped off. Did she find a partner? Did Nero put it there as a prank? It is a mystery.

It's pretty insane how dogshit the discourse around this game has gotten since we recorded this episode.

Time for my favourite podcast! @donmosquito.bsky.social and @drshyguy.bsky.social talked about one of the hyped (and seemingly actually good) RPGs of the year: #ClairObscur #Expedition33. I hope they used their almost 4 hours to say many smart things. komdehagens.podcaster.de/komdehagens/...

With the Netflix Devil May Cry series hot on everyone's minds, including my own, I sat down for a discussion with my good homie @drshyguy.bsky.social. What ensued was a four-hour analysis and discussion of the entire series. This video is that four hours. Enjoy! youtu.be/zw18j8_H0v8

Wrapped up the podcast and it turned out to be like 4 hours and still don’t think we covered everything. There was a lot to say about Netflix Devil May Cry but it was also more fun just shooting the shit with one of my best friends.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

The Devil May Cry Netflix show is going out of its way to impress you constantly. It wants you to think that it’s funny, it wants you to think that it has important things to say and it wants you to think that it’s cool.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

New to Devil May Cry from the anime? Here's a guide on how to approach the games! Any questions please ask! DMC1 - Dont play its old DMC2 - Don't play its bad DMC3 - Don't play its hard DMC4 - Dont play its unfinished DmC - Dont play its cringe DMC5 - Dont play it needs a remake

Halfway through the Devil May Cry Netflix show and this isn’t good. Lady in the OG is an interesting character whose dedication allows her to hang with supernatural forces but now she is just a cop with tech.

Genuinely great feature that allows you to decouple quote tweets from your post. You mean I get to send miserable and snarky Twitter attitude people to the shadow realm? Hell yeah.

Man something just clicked with DMC5 Vergil last night and I was just firing off perfect Judgement Cuts. Totally going to lose the rhythm by the time I go back to play today though.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

So true internet user, the reason why the modern iteration of a franchise has less features or customisation isn't because dev pipelines are streamlined, game budgets have not raised in line with dev costs or a myriad of other reasons. It's because the developers are lazy!

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Happy Devil May Cry 3 20th anniversary! It doesn't need to be remade.

The Lost Soul Aside trailer looked basic as hell and had next to no gameplay, wasn't impressed after it being absent for 10 years. Tides of Annihilation totally stole its spot imo, that game looks cool and seems proud to be an action game.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 11/02/2025

So many people will claim to have an open mind to art but when the art asks you to engage with it in its own terms they act aloof and sneer that they could do better. See: Pretty much any popular post about modern art.

Games should be optimised to hit 60 fps and I think it’s wild that some people find that controversial.

So let me get this straight. We endured like a year of men swearing that the Stellar Blade combat is "as good as Devil May Cry or Bayonetta" and it has nothing to do with wanting to goon to Eve.

I don't think people appreciate how hard it is for developers to differentiate between a bug that needs fixed and a bug that has resulted in an unintended feature. It's one of those elements of Game Design which forks wildly from traditional software development.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Today is the Japanese anniversary of Devil May Cry 2! The black sheep of DMC in terms of quality but overhated and underappreciated for what it is - a pretty average PS2 action game for its time. Play it with an open mind and not what youtubers tell you and you might find yourself appreciating it.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 30/01/2025

Really funny when Vergil fanboys start saying shit like “Yamato can cut through dimensions, Vergil wins” when every time he shows up in Devil May Cry he gets his ass kicked. He doesn’t need more power because he’s already unbeatable lol.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 29/01/2025

Button mashing and rollspam (or rollslop) are both entirely reductive and useless terms to describe Action games or Soulslikes and my brain turns off the second I hear either.

Doc @drshyguy.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Every time a game like Ninja Gaiden comes out Twitter gets inundated with posts about why can't we have more traditional action games instead of Soulslikes. We aren't even getting that many Soulslikes to begin with lol, there is room for both.
