For Monster Hunter specifically, as well as other similar games like God Eater and White Knight Chronicles, the appeal is literally just big number go up from grinding. If you don’t like grinding, you probably aren’t going to enjoy these kinds of games. They can easily feel very repetitive.

Turns out when you actually make video games and sell them, you can record higher profits than years you didn’t do that.

I will be playing Stellaris intead, lol.

Not a fan of Fortnite and never got into CoD after World at War came out. Felt like they were less and less about the soldiers that gave their lives protecting their country, and more about being some romanticized war hero shooter. War is bad but I don’t think that soldiers who fought in them should be disrespected. I just feel like the new CoD games glorify war and violence more than the older games did, and I am not about that.

I don’t know if goading Take Two into a lawsuit is a good idea. These guys may have good lawyers, but Take Two undoubtedly has deeper pockets.

Interesting choice. I hope it is successful.

So Apple finally decided to copy the Intel NUC after Intel stopped making them and pushed them off to ASUS?

Brightis, made by the developers that made Arc the Lad, would be great to see redone and released in English/other languages.

I only like the Resident Evil remake on the GameCube from 2002 (which was later ported and released as Resident Evil HD). It retained everything about the original that was iconic and made minor additions. I wish those were optional, but since the game came out in 2002 before options were really a consideration it gets a pass. I can’t believe I am saying this, because without Kojima it feels like sacrilege, but MGS3 Delta actually looks like it might be a good remake by keeping the original gameplay as an option.

As a Silent Hill fan, I disagree. SH2 remake is very mid, and misses the mark on many points IMO. Too much was changed just for the sake of being changed. It is filled with every “Bloober-ism” in the book: stupid, predictable jumpscares (which were not really in SH2 originally since it built up as a horror game in a different way from the first game which did use jumpscares), bad performance problems, etc. The game focuses too much on combat; in the original game the optimal way to play (and lore accurate way) was avoiding most combat, but the remake refuses to allow you to avoid combat like you could in the original game. Character designs are worse than the original IMO. I really wanted to love the game, but right when I start to enjoy whatever was happening, Bloober swooped in with some addition or change or -ism that immediately pulled me out and had me rolling my eyes. Also, swapping out the original’s camera for a boring, bland, copying-everyone-else over the shoulder camera without even giving the option for the original camera hurts my soul.

I don’t really care about Pokemon so I can’t comment on it. Never played it except the TCG game on GameBoy, and I never finished that game either. Just didn’t hold my interest.

Honestly, looking at how modern game development studios handle remakes, I wouldn’t want them anywhere near any of my beloved games. I haven’t played a single remake in the last 20 years where I felt like the studio that made it knocked it out of the park.

Also, I strongly believe good games should not be remade, and only remastered/ “deluxe remastered” (where even if the game is remade, its a 1:1 faithful recreation with additional features and gameplay mechanics being optional). Remake the games that weren’t great, give them another chance at big success.

• Sonic 2006
• the XenoSaga games (don’t @ me XS fans, you know the combat and boss design in those games were terrible, 1 had DOMO Carrier, Tiamat, and whatever was going on in Song of Nephilim)
• Most Konami games in the late 90s - mid 2010s
• LAPD Future Cop
• etc

I know, right? If IGN, Kotaku, or otherwise are writing some kind of hit pice / negative article, it has to be pretty good.

At least $400m lol

Emulation is 100% legal, at least in the USA. Do you mean downloading a copy of such a game from the internet? Because I would agree.

It doesn’t have to work that way. It works that way because they have more money, not because it is good for humanity.

If a company is going to argue that this would harm potential future re-releases of their games, they should be forced to rerelease those games in less than a years time. Otherwise it can be understood they have no interest in bringing those games back to market.

Allow libraries to do this for games that have no re-release, and have them remove the game from emulation options if it does get a re-release. Simple solution.

I think it could count but its more on the Scifi end IMO.

.>observer_ was a pretty decent try but it’s a Bloober game, so its got all the Bloober hallmarks (infinite pointless jumpscares, really bad and inconsistent performance, etc).

Like, where are the A.D. Police Files-esque Survival Horror games? Hollowbody almost could have fit but that was tech-noir.

Its just an underutilized genre in general, IMO. And its real unfortunate too. We get infinity medieval fantasy RPGs, but cyberpunk horror is maybe just a handful in the last two decades, if that.

I haven’t played this DLC, but I will say it is extremely disappointing to me that there aren’t more cyberpunk horror games. I mean, not a lot of cyberpunk games in general these days, but cyberpunk horror has monumental potential, but nobody wants to make one.

The cruel part about it was the fake drama the news media invented about the game that singlehandedly killed it before it could even come out.

While I would love for this to get a re-release, I absolutely could not trust a single modern development studio to do it correctly without making massive changes to the story. So its better as it is.

SGI only made the RCP, Reality CoProcessor.

NEC (who sold the PC Engine, PC-FX consoles and the PC-98XX series home computers at the time) licensed the MIPS R4200 CPU designs from MTI. They then created the derivative CPU the N64 used, the MIPS VR4300i.
