Random Gaming Thoughts

Very sad that the sequel to "Another World", "Heart of the Alien" was never ported to PC and other Systems. "Another World" is one of the difficultest games i ever played when it came out. I never came far, but i loved it. There is no HUD or Life-Energy and i was always thinking that this is not a real game. I played the SNES-Version in the 90s.
 
I saw an article where game journalists were complaining and saying they were disappointed because the gameplay of cyberpunk 2077 wasn't "revolutionary". Am I missing something? I thought the whole appeal is supposed to be how fleshed out the world is. The gameplay looks fine, actually very good for an rpg type of game if you ask me but I am not sure what they were expecting considering the game isn't being advertised as an FPS.

So...a game that doesn't "revolutionise" = bad?

Ugh. I can already smell traces of the French horn farts which said journalists were too busy deeply huffing on while at the office.

Well the term they used was "tainted with disappointment" which I assume would mean so. They go on to compare it to other FPS games because they chose an FPS view rather than other RPGs

This Outer Worlds/Outer Wilds thing keeps fucking me up.
 
When my uncle passed away in 2005 it throws me an a psychical deep black hole and i couldn't motivate me for myself to be happy for new announcements of video-games and i had a long time not more the "positive feel" for playing a video-game, i couldn't enjoy it (the same with my jobs). Since two years i began to bringing back the "positive" in playing video-games and for me video-games today have changed a bit. You have today so many more options in gameplay that is almost too much for me. For example Red Dead Redemption 2. You have the Dead Eye-Function and many more, the Tutorial of RDR 2 is very big and giant. I couldn't understand how to play this game and i was not motivated enough to beat the main story. But since a couple of days i begin to learning better playing RDR 2 and it begins to make more fun. I lost the fun in 2005 and very slowly i got it back. So i hope i can enjoy Shenmue 3 with fun next week. :giggle:
 
Triggered myself by randomly remembering that Spikout and Slashout exist and never got DC ports, and to this day STILL don't have a proper home release. Battle Street doesn't count.
 
Yesterday i finally managed to run "Fade to Black" from 1995 on PC (Dosbox). In the 90s i purchased the game from a flea-market and my old rig couldn't run that game good. Today it runs fine and it is german-dubbed. There should be a console-version from it. F2B was popular in that time.
Speed Busters and Speed Devils are a good example why Dreamcast-Version of that game were better. Speed Devils had better graphics, was more Arcade and had better music tracks.
 
Pokemon Sword/Shield has sold 6 million units in its first week of release. Becoming the fastest selling Switch game to date. FUCKKKK😲

Its Pokingman; what do you expect?

If there was a literal piece of shit with Pokingman branding, it would sell 1 million in a day.

Our favorite game "Shenmue" is literally fighting for its life and POKEMON is on cruise control😂

While this is true across all media, there has never been nor will there be a “golden age” of gaming. Every generation has it’s high points and it’s low points. For every game that is highly praised (Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy VI and VII, Sonic 3 and Knuckles, Nier Automata, Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, etc) there are an equal amount that are panned (Superman 64, E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, Zelda CD-I, Sonic Fighters, etc.) Yet in the past we focus only on the good and filter out the bad.

Rushed unpolished games are not a new thing as there was a glut of broken unfinished video games made back in the 1980’s. So much so, that it was partially responsible for the 1983 video game crash of which Nintendo took full advantage of. The Nintendo Seal of Quality did not mean that the game was “good” but that it was “playable.” Yet despite that we started getting some wonderful working video game IP’s from Nintendo that are staples of modern gaming.

Now we live in an age where we have bad practices like the abuse of micro transactions and crunch time. Yet we also have some Independent developers coming up with creative games. So at the end of the day, if we could filter out the bad in the past, why is it harder to do that now?

I guess the golden age would be the one where you have the best memories. For me that's an interesting debate as I remember loving the N64 but only really played Mario Kart, Star Fox and Golden Eye as the games were so damn expensive. Those were some of my best experiences though. Then you have the Xbox that gave me the Conflict Series which was one of my favourite games, Halo 2 which I spent a lot of time with and a few other co-op games. The Xbox 360 I probably purchased more games for that console than I did everything else. Really great mix of co-op and single player games though it did pretty much die towards the end of its life.

This generation has had a number of critically acclaimed games but it won't go down as my favourite for a fact. Loved Witcher 3, happy we got Shenmue 3, loved Persona 5 and a bunch of other games. However, whether it's due to my lifestyle changing, just felt that this generation was not as fun as the others. I stopped playing games competitively online and grew frustrated with a lot of micro transactions, the downfall of BioWare and and what I felt was a lot of developers making little effort or putting all that effort toward monertisation.
 
RE3 Remake seems like a pretty safe bet, many people are speaking pretty freely about it coming "soon". Capcom only really announces games when they are almost ready to release these days, so if it gets announced at the end of the year/by E3 next year, it could be around for PS5 launch.

I'm certainly sold for a REmake 3, seeing a more active, threatening Nemesis is absolutely the only thing I want, I love that guy!

the only thing which would be better is a new gamecube style RE game. god i miss fix camera angle games.

imagine what sort of detail they could make in a fix camera angle game now.. the pre-rendered backgrounds and characters could be made to look almost photo realistic.
