The Last of Us Part 2 is over long, ridiculous in how everyone from Ellie's camp is Batman, superfluous and just kind of boring. However how it is based on both siding the genocide being carried out by Israel is disgusting. Shit sandwich.

Not playing a game because you find it infantile is the most childish thing ever.

The worst thing about AI is how they sell it to employees as some magic machine that ignores the physics and computer science, so when you explain how it works and it's limits you get shot down as a non believer. Despite you having the computer science degree and they are a HR middle manager.

I'm with Jim Ryan on this one. Yoshida tried to smoother Soulslikes in the crib by sending Demon's Souls out to die and was producer on Legend of Dragoon, a game recognized by the UN as a war crime against JRPG fans. I'd have forgiven him if he gave us Ape Escape 4 or Um Jammer Lammy 2.

@capcomusa.com just to let you know that I won't be buying Resident Evil 9 until the performance draining DRM is removed from the PC version. You don't combat piracy by giving your paying customers a worse experience.

Fartcoin? Did economists just ignore that fartcoin actually existed when they decided crypto wasn't a bubble?

Metroid Prime 4 is a game of constant disappointments. The final kick to the ballocks is finding out that it has granular options for inverting the thumbsticks but no option for inverted mouse. It's like the bare minimum you need to provide if your game has mouse controls.

You don't give the Nazi's a platform to spout their views. Saying you need to hear both sides of the story is a weak ass excuse. If it's your platform it's your freedom of speech rights to deny them that platform. Platforming them shows complicity.

Why don't you plebs like AI? Because normal people don't have their wealth invested in stocks buoyed by a stock bubble based on AI over speculation. It's also making our lives worse while creating an environmental disaster for our children.

I finished Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and it's one of the finest action games I've played in a long time. It absolutely nails the flow of the original game and is just a joy to control. It looks and sounds great as well.

Hey, this sucks. ModRetro is run by Palmer Luckey, AI defense contractor and sel-proclaimed radical zionist. I will never touch a Wayforward product again if this relationship continues. Absolutely digusting.

I beat Hammerin' Hero for the PSP. This is a little gem of a game that feels like a throw back to the 2.5D platformers of the PS1. Short but sweet with some excellent stage variety and bosses. Really love the gag manga aesthetic, it has some very amusing background details.

So was at a bowling alley in Dublin for a work even where they had a series of mini consoles set up. I was early was was having a blast of Megaman two when a young man in his twenties exclaimed beside me that "they have R6 Siege!". I had to inform him it was the PS1 version of the first game (cont)

I beat Dragon Quest Monsters. A great example of doing a lot with a small budget. In some ways, such as the battle system, it totally outclasses Pokemon. The randomly generated dungeons however began to grate before the end. Still a great start to the series.

I beat Faselei! for the Neo Geo Pocket Colour. Short but very sweet tactical RPG that plays like a cross between front mission and boardgame classic Robo Rally. Lovely pixel art graphics and a fun story but it's the tactical gameplay that makes the game shine.

I beat Metal Wolf Chaos XD. A fantastic slice of over the top Mecha blasting action with hilarious dialogue and satire of Bush era American politics and the jingoism and exceptionalism that went with it. This game doesn't get enough love as closest videogames got to starship troopers satire.

I beat Castlevania 3: Dracula's Curse. Well the famicom version that's easier and has the better music. Incredible game and a contender for the all time best on the NES. Great music, loads of content, fair challenge and just loads of fun to play. Classic Vania at its best.

A proposal on how the videogame industry can deal with Tangerine Twat Tariffs: Make the US the new PAL region. From now on the US will receive the absolute bare minimum of Japanese action games and maybe 1-2 JRPGs a year. All games will also be slowed down by a % governed by the % tariff.

I beat the Black Mirror tie in game Thronglets. This was a short but very interesting game with a lot of surprises. Maybe a little too knowingly clever and self referential but definitely worth playing if you plan to watch the new series of black mirror.

I beat The Legend of the Mystical Ninja. Or the fan translation at least. Excellent Konami game with some brilliant stage and boss design, great music and impressive use of the SNES hardware tricks. A few late game grinds let it down a small bit.

I beat Dragon Quest 3 HD 2D. Great game that seems to set template for every JRPG that followed. It's just so well structured that there's never a dull moment. It even surprised me with some quite moving and dark moments. It's easy to see why it's so beloved in Japan.

Am I just really unlucky or do I just not have a positive outlook on the universe? Pokemon TCG brings out sneak peek event that lets you have a second 1/4 chance of getting the card you want. 15 wonder picks later, still haven't gotten a card he wants. Fuck you RNGesus.

I've been stuck on a massively RNG boss in Wizardry Daphne for days. I got really pissed off about it, so much so I sent the devs an angry email to nerf the boss fight. I had one last go afterwards and of course I beat her (a clutch finish but a win is a win). Still a nasty bullshit fight.
