If I wasn’t so jaded by the fact that it’s based on RE8, I might’ve given it a look see. 😛
Imagine if it was based on RE1, and you’re going through the Spencer mansion, and it looked like that game “Dark Light”. Y-You know, that “explora-” oh fuck it, that Metroidvania game that… well….
Damn I wish that had a physical copy. But just imagine that with Chris or Jill… OR BETTER YET, HUNK!? Ohhhhhhhh that shit would be AMAZING!!!
That reminds me, I should probably make an exception for that Grim Guardians game.
This DOES look like a Wario Land knock off. But the music IS better… I swear I’m hearing sound effects from Pacman Arrangement…
Yes I’m still alive, just going through some… “mild” depression for a brief time. Trying to think of a new direction for the blog as well. Considering that everything is a success regardless of quality, there’s not much use railing against all that’s wrong with entertainment. People used to rail against the notion of “if you build it, people will come”, but… shit, that’s literally what’s happening! And frankly, I’m getting kinda tired of being that old crotchety fuck that bitches about how everything sucks because it changed too much, or whatever people interpret me as being. Toxic Positivity has won the war for the mind, and the kiddies are too immersed in their own sense of unwarranted importance, self righteousness, and barebones vanity to see how they’re being exploited because any words, regardless of presentation, coming from someone over 30 will be cast aside as being “boomer talk”.
I’m also laughing at how the internet is essentially trying to weaponize Gen Z as a proxy to attack Millennials. We really are the most hated generation for nothing other than our own existence. I’m reminded of something…
Oh…. yeah…
Anyway, in other relative shite, I did make another exception in No More Heroes 3. I wasn’t about to miss out on that little gem despite how increasingly jaded I’ve become with gaming. And it’s fine. It’s just not No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, one of the best goddamn Wii games I’ve ever played. I think it was more about the game’s manner of progression that hasn’t aged well, though 3 made it worse by breaking up the money grind with tedious wave battles with enemies that aren’t as fun to fight as enemies in the last 2 games, mainly because they’re spongy as all fuck, and certain enemies types are so awkwardly set up that you spend more time trying to hide and get some space, having to lure enemies into position before you can start fighting properly. The story, writing, boss battles, and music are all pretty stellar all things considered, but those great moments are broken up via tedious missions and mandatory battles that aren’t all that fun. Well, at least there’s that racing minigame to keep me entertained considering they took out the Mach Rider minigame from NMH2. 3’s story also expected you to take notice of story details from previous games WHILE basically spelling it out in box car letters that you’re not supposed to be taking anything seriously at all.. which necessitates that you pay no attention to jack shit. Who the fuck is this genki girl that he’s having rap battles with!? When did Bad Girl have a father figure? Ah whatever. I loved how the game literally misdirected you at every turn despite not wanting you to take it seriously. All in all, a pretty decent game that;s slightly held back by shoddy and outdated progression systems.
On the other hand, I got a little surprise from Christmas time because my sister thinks I’m too negative of a dipshit and figures I should get that giant tree branch outta muh buttocks.
And Holy fucking shit, this game is AWESOME!!!!!
To be clear, I was one of those comically jaded dipshits that said “screw this game” because unlike God Eater and Code Vein, you couldn’t make your own character. Upon playing it, I’m equally pissed! This game is amazing, and would’ve benefitted from becoming yet another self-insert fantasy, especially with the lack of melanin. 😛 Scarlet Nexus is the Silver the Hedgehog game I’ve always wanted. And that fucking SOUNDTRACK!!!! Shit took me back to the late 90s/early 2000s when Video Game music was just plain catchy! Pre-2005 Gaming was the best time to be a Gamer, I tell yah.
That’s something I might start doing more often as I try to take that Therapist’s bullshit advice. Talk more about shit I actually enjoy, and… maybe go into more excruciating detail as to why I despised certain things throughout the last 6 or 7 years. All the while… ignore twitter entirely. That shit is going to be the death of me.
Anyway, I’m gonna go back to my Resident Evil Addiction. RE4R is still gonna be shit, I’m certain. But hey, it couldn’t be any shittier than the original! Har har har har har har har…
No, I’m not kidding. RE4 is terrible. Can y’all believe there are people who actually think that because RE4 was a mind boggling success, it is “silly” to hate it? I’m not kidding, people having actually SAID some shit like that! If you couldn’t tell that most gamers are Sychophants, the Biohazard fandom is your case study!
EDIT: Goddammit, gotta put that youtube vid in a hyperlink. The shit’s been disabled from viewing on other sites.
