Everyone should have at least one game that irreversibly changed their lives for the better but has terrible gameplay.

I don't care if it's shilling, I love game devs putting characters from their previous games into their new works.
Nostradamus was suspiciously silent on the Smash DLC in Les Prophéties.
Tragic: this character would be really cool in a crossover fighting title but their origin game isn't very good.
I hate people calling everything they dislike soulless but I honestly take it over the current trend of people lying about everything they dislike being AI.
I want a game that uses Metaphor: ReFantazio's same insanely well-crafted narrative system and wonderful writing...
...but it's about a young witch trying to solve the disappearance of her neighbor's cat in a small village in the Alps.
Do you ever see someone saying that a piece of media is too unsubtle at conveying its themes and halfway through their explanation realize that they somehow missed the most obvious metaphor possible in the story?
Just saw the latest Street Fighter VI DLC character. I can't believe Sakurai forced Capcom to add Terry to their game. First Smash and now this. When the madman will stop?
"MOM! Phineas and Ferb are awakening the Great Dreamer slumbering in the sunken city of R'lyeh!"
"Can you pet the dog?" style of gimmick account but with killable gods in video games.
I love how every single DLC era Ultimate "leak" was
- Fan favorite pick that shows they finally listened to the fans
- Out-of-the-wall pick that's "such a Sakurai thing to add"
- Character from a Switch game (there is a dirty shill pick so you know this leak is real)
- The guy everyone was talking about two weeks ago
- Most wanted character of the user who made the post
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people accuse a character of being an expy of a more famous character when actually they're both references to the same guy.
The way Xenoblade 2 handled it doesn't quite work but I actually like the idea of having a gatcha-style system in a regular console game only without microtransactions.
Unlocking a large cast designed by various artists is a fun concept in theory and satisfies the toy-collector side of my brain. Just make it so that I can unlock everyone by naturally playing the game.
I love it when people make fanart of unused concept art for games.
If I see another person using Oldsona and Newsona to talk about Persona, I'm punting them to the sun.
I'm alive but also down with a terrible cold so it might take me a few days to be actually active again here.
Stylized art directions are good but I wish people weren't so insecure about liking them.
I'm tired of hearing about how they "age better" than realism as if that's the only metric video game graphics should adhere to.
With what's going on at Microsoft right now, maybe we can stop pretending that buy-outs by big corps are good actually and will definitely fix the industry.
Pokemon Flintstones and Pokemon Jetsons
If you have more than one cat, at least one has to be smarter than every human in the house and continuously plot your demise while the others must possess the combined intelligence of a peanut.
That's the law.
I don't celebrate Christmas but it's so wholesome to have a holiday with a deep rooted tradition of drawing anime girls in Santa dresses.
Video game journalism site: "Employees were locked up, chained, and lashed in the studio to ship out games faster."
90% of the comments: "Deserved, tbh. My copy arrived 3 minutes late and I found two minor bugs. I hope they starve the devs next to teach them make better games."
It seems weirdly common nowadays but I never understood the "this game is bad, I'm gonna pirate it" argument. If it's so bad, why even bother pirating it?
Soul Hackers 2 is really good when you don't have Megaten fans whispering in your ear to tell you it's bad.
“Go to hell” is basic. “I hope your hometown becomes a tourism hotspot” is smart. It’s possible. It’s terrifying.
Persona 5: The Tacticening
When you think about it, there are only seven types of basic plots:
- Plumber fights a giant ape to save the girl
- Kid collects every wildlife
- Furries enter a dogfight with a flying face
- Woman deals with every problem using a laser cannon
- Cute eldrich monster eats less cute eldrich monsters
- Dinosaur raises kids
- Twink fights a giant pig to save the girl
No more edgy Alice in Wonderland adaptations, I want a dark and gritty live-action The Hunting of the Snark adaptation that takes itself super seriously and has a bad CGI Beaver.
Uta from One Piece Film Red is so funny to me because I don't think she doesn't fit into the series or anything but if you describe me her character arc without telling me where she's from, I'd believe that she's an Arknights character or something.
Life hack: You don't actually need to critically interact with media to form your own opinion about it, just watch a monetized Youtube video made by a guy who hates everything made after he turned 16, that will give you an unbiased and holistic view about it.
You're telling me a yakuza liked this dragon???
It's interesting how teaching the player works in visual novels.
While in traditional games, players are usually expected to develop their strategic thinking or hand-eye coordination skills to surpass higher difficulty challenges.
In the visual novels, however, the difficulty (if there is any) comes from being expected to read the text carefully and critically. Some of my favorite examples are the ones where you need to take character development into account and are lead to a bad end if you deviate from the context of the decision scene.
I feel like a lot of the "translation vs localization" discourse you see online would vanish if more people at least had the basics of a second language and realized that they might as well be arguing "apples vs apples".
This part of the The Cyberiad feels more relevant than ever with all the talk about AI-generated "art":
The program found in the head of an average poet, after all, was written by the poet's civilization, and that civilization was in turn programmed by the civilization that preceded it, and so on to the very Dawn of Time, when those bits of information that concerned the poet-to-be were still swirling about in the primordial chaos of the cosmic deep. Hence in order to program a poetry machine, one would first have to repeat the entire Universe from the beginning - or at least a good piece of it.
There are quite a few Smashboards Creates threads that focus on Shonen Jump Magazine but I wonder if there'd be an interest in a forum game that focuses on Jump+/Manga Plus.
It's my primary way to read manga these days and I feel like there are a lot of interesting manga in there that don't get a chance to be featured in fan concepts, which is a shame given big names like Spy x Family and Kaiju No. 8 originated from there.
Last night, we found a magpie chick that fell from its nest. We couldn't get it back to its nest and the vet told us that it is old enough to be cared after at home so... I guess I have a bird now.
As cool as Persona 3 remake is, I think Persona 5 Tactica might grab my attention more depending on how they handle it. P3 remains my favorite numbered title but I've wanted a Persona SRPG for ages. -
