playing Ocarina of Time again and I'm slightly surprised at how quickly I got got used to the gameplay being only 20fps. I genuinely forgot about it within like 30 seconds. Also red hot take coming right up: Ocarina of Time is a great video game

The way people talk about classic video games makes me really sad sometimes. Makes me think about the guy who said that "everything needs to be remade eventually", because I think this is an unspoken/unexplored thought in the minds of many. It's just kind of tragic to me.

Been playing Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories because I'm a deranged sicko and it's amusing me that this is a "build a deck to completely break the game" game. It's only a handful of tweaks away from being an indie roguelike deckbuilder except instead it's a 2003 GBA game with a weird story and pace

I'm selling old Guitar Hero guitars and while testing them out I can't believe how much muscle memory kicked in. Hitting notes like "how am I doing this??" I felt like Neo watching himself fight. Guitar Hero was pretty cool man

ocarina remake looks good but idk i feel like it could look even better if they halved the framerate and DLSS5'd all the characters to look like the people i see in my nightmares

the most common gaming take that bums me out the most is that timers are basically the most universally depsised mechanic by 95% of the audience. been a true believer since dead rising and the fire has only grown playing shenmue and lightning returns etc

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore

a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

I was generally looking forward to GTA6 but the leaks seemingly revealing it to be a bit more abrasive have me a lot more curious. GTA5 was basically a GTA4 apology party but maybe GTA6 will return to being a game some people hate. Make games people will hate

This article is the closest thing we'll ever get to understanding how the total enigma of a GBA game Urban Yeti exists, a bad game I can't help but love. Delightful and well researched read about a niche corner of video game history

'Urban Yeti!' released on this day in 2002. What do you get when you combine a mock cult, Dolemite, surfboarding, and multiple failed distribution deals? Why, a GBA cartridge about cryptids, obviously! Check out our article for the full story: badgamehalloffame.com/urban-yeti/

I know I'm like a week late but War in the North getting a re-release is crazy as a (the?) War in the North enjoyer. I've played a weirdly high amount of that game. It was a bit of a late night bonding sesh with a certain couple of friends of mine back in its day. Good stuff

This is absolutely my biggest gripe with the remake culture. It's erasing old versions of games under the guise of "we just want new players to experience it!" and acts like these new ones are perfect replacements

the Mafia games have got a new "series collection" release that does not include the first Mafia game (it has the remake) and I know this is a small fry thing to have a quick whinge about, but it bothers that the original and best Mafia game gets thrown by the wayside and disposed of

If a game won lots of GOTYs, released in the last 15 years, and is a fantasy game, l fail to get into them despite trying for hours with each Witcher 3, Baldur's Gate 3, God of War 2018, E33, Elden Ring, BOTW... it just keeps happening! And yet I enjoyed Saints Row 2022. I'm sick and theres no cure

We shouldn't be calling creative works slop at all but I swear like 99% of people using the term friendslop are tongue-in-cheek/saying it lovingly (source: pure vibes). If I was making a silly friendslop fishing game or w/e I'd consider advertising it as friendslop because it's oh so hot right now

I was due for my 6 monthly big number dopamine steam deck game and Vampire Crawlers is scratching that itch so good. Every single time I go out of my way to try out one of these games they get their hooks in immediately. I find them in one go. We have optimised exploiting human nature real good

I think about this all the time, and there's a lot of identifiable reasons why things are like this, but it's just crazy to me that all these big series like Age of Empires, Command & Conquer, Medal of Honor, Driver etc (all of which I grew up with) are just thought of as random old franchises

Crimson Desert seems like it has some cool ideas but golly does it have an all time bad first few hours. Kliff with a K is a wet blanket of a protagonist with totally unclear motives and the game's controls feel like a memorisation test

I have discovered YouTube has added a new-ish setting creators can turn where people can only leave a comment on your video if they've subscribed for x amount of time. Which I reckon I'll turn on because I get some real muppets commenting on my vids lmao. I wanted to make this post as a bit of a PSA

It was the most obvious thing ever that game discs were getting ditched soon and yet I still feel this weird melancholy. Like we all knew this was coming and yet here I am feeling all sad about heckin video games. I think it's mostly a culmination of this + the last few years of weekly bad news
