-“Hey look this game journalist gave a game a bad review because of [silly reason]!”
-Look inside
-It was a random off handed mention in the review that was never cited as a reason for the game being bad

I feel similarly about the idea of a Halo 1 remake that I did about RDJ’s casting as Dr. Doom. You can make an argument that it’s technically a good financial decision but it signifies so quickly that their respective companies are extremely desperate and creatively uninspired that I’m not sure most casual audiences will be that behind it.

I think “pirate yakuza in hawaii” was mathematically engineered to make me as excited as possible for a game through title and concept alone

Unless there’s concrete proof Palworld actually stole assets from Pokemon or something similar, it seems extremely unlikely Nintendo would actually succeed in suing them. There’s a lot of really big public cases about video games with similar circumstances (Capcom vs Data East being a good example) and the precedent has basically always been against tue companies doing the suing for alleged copyright infringement.

I got my “smash with 10,000 characters lost updated to about 9200 and now I’m considering adding every single astro bot cameo as its own character

and also I added every single concord character because of course I did

argonaut games developed the catwoman video game what the hell

The game awards category for games for impact is such a joke. It's genuinely shocking and offensive they're still making "societal impact" into a competitve awards category and people are mostly okay with it. It's implicitly saying "oh sorry your game about the impacts of the iranian revolution just barely loses out to this game about cancer because it has more societal benefit." for example.

There's also the discussion about how basically just indie games get nominated, which suggests AAA games aren't able to have positive societal implications or be about politics at all.

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 15, 2024

I really like when a video game character has a flashback to a previous game and it’s clearly in a way worse visual style from lesser hardware

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 15, 2024

Capcom making us wait nearly two months for the marvel vs capcom physical collection and not even having a physical disc/cartridge in all regions is crazy

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 14, 2024

On the subject of my last post, I’m a good way into final fantasy 5 and I take back everything negative I’ve ever said about RPG job systems it clicks so much better here than other games I played with the system.

This might actually be my favorite of the classic FF games

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 14, 2024

I see a lot of people praising the humour and comedy of super mario RPG which is cool but I think it’s kind of disappointing they don’t really mention the influence final fantasy 5 and chono trigger had on that aspect of the game, especially with the physicality of the comedy.

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 14, 2024

You know what? Shoutout to characters who are basically only in a crossover fighting game because they’re an easy clone character for someone else. I will stand by the fact that Dr Mario and Nubia are good additions to their respective games.

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 14, 2024

if you’re cooked you’re finished. If you’re baked you’re high. If you’re roasted you’ve been insulted. If you’re fried you’re tired. If you’re boiled you’re drunk. If you’re grilled you’re being chastised and if you’re smoked you’re also finished.

now we just need an expression for being microwaved.

So I just found out Harmonix developed the rhythm game part of Fortnite and it just feels surreal knowing that Guitar Hero and Rock Band were on top of the world for so long. Like imagine if Minecraft had a significant drop off before being acquired by Microsoft and now Mojang only exists to develop a “block builder” mode for idk sea of thieves or something

Yakuza Dead Souls is probably the only zombie apocalypse story where someone grabs a tank and blows a giant hole in the quarantine, potentially risking everyone getting infested and once the military immediately questions him he says “yeah some people were trapped in there” and then they reply “ok fair enough you did what you have to do”

“Yeah I don’t need to go to the first day of class I’ll just read the syllabus”

doesn’t read the syllabus

I just found out that the dragon ball z big green dub was done by the same group as the fist of the north star french gag dub. Incredible

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 10, 2024

I recorded Marvel vs Capcom 2 gameplay footage for a video I made but I accidentally left the microphone on, meaning it recorded the podcast I had on in the back. I now have extremely surreal footage of Marvel vs Capcom 2 playing with quiet, garbled audio and the sound of people discussing the lost cause myth in the back

which pride flag is that

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 8, 2024

This took me 50 hours to do and I WILL be doing the same if this challenge exists in the marvel vs capcom collection

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 8, 2024

Finally watched Batman Mask of the Phantasm and man that one joker on the phone meme really doesn’t convey what the actual joke of the scene was. I don’t know why this is my main takeaway.

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 8, 2024

I just found out the dragon ball evolution video game released before the movie. Live action goku can be in Smash under lightning mcqueen rules

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 7, 2024

For some reason I’ve been getting clips of the Darkstalkers cartoon in my youtube recommendations and it’s actually kinda funny??

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 5, 2024

The idea of a platform fighter having multiple levels of super is probably the most interesting design choice of PlayStation all stars battle royale except the reason they emphasized super meter so much was in service of a really awful game mechanic

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 5, 2024

Can’t wait for Jack Black Steve to tell Jason Momoa “And remember, whatever you do… don’t dig straight down!” and then at the final battle Jason Momoa has to dig straight down to beat the enemy

Liz Truss was in office for longer than Concord was online

Bought a PS3 today. Finally my unopened copy of MGS4 has its use.

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 3, 2024

Looking back on the Shonen Jump vs Capcom thread my biggest regret is not submitting a One Piece Mansion stage

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 3, 2024

Unless I’m mistaken, is Emio the only M-rated Nintendo game a core Nintendo studio actually developed?

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 2, 2024

Since the word “clone” has been replaced by “echo fighter” in Smash lingo then technically the word “semi-clone” can count as a cranberry morpheme

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 2, 2024

Since the PS4 is ten years old at this point, games coming out for it now are essentially the equivalent of Despicable Me for the PS2

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 2, 2024

Red earth is such an interesting fighting game but actually playing it kinda sucks

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 2, 2024

Screw labor day all my homies celebrate labour day

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 1, 2024

why does the funni wolfenstein ronald reagan clip say he’s from arizona, you can disprove that with like a five second google search

Champion of Hyrule · Sep 1, 2024

I saw people posting the link to that massive document of games that apparently have “woke” content that somebody wasted hours of their life making and it’s genuinely so funny. A game can be considered woke for having a mixed race couple but nothing in Bioshock set off their woke alarms besides a gay man.
