Starship Troopers with a good helping of Terminator lol. It's chaotic fun, man!

I wanna play it cause all I hear is it’s just Starship Troopers  The Movie The Game. I need it.

An example of why people don't like Digital Rights Managment (DRM) especially at the Kernal Level of your PC. 

Essentially: 
 
 

Would rather have Bloodborne 2.

I will have you know I am no communist! 

The FF7ReBirth Demo Junon Update is a lot of fun. 

Im not finished with it yet but they’ve added a lot of new stuff to the combat and overworld. I won’t spoil anything. I’m looking forward to the full game next week. 

I need it 
 
 

I just want the scribbles of cloud and Barrett kissing that’re in my dream journal to matter. 

This actually really bothers me when it comes to men in media. We aren't allowed to have close relationships woth other men without it being interpreted as some closet gay shit. I'm all for closet gay stories, I think a number of then are pretty good, but thay doesn't mean every single same sex friendship is future relationship status. I think interpreting it this way all the time makes it harder for.men I. The real word to form real deep heterosexual friendships with other men cuz its gay. Goes for women to, like fuck anyone who intepretes the female friends from NANA as closet/gay relationship drama, it's not, it's just friendship drama. 
 
 

The situation around Bayonetta was wild and frankly insulting. The people that criticized Bayonetta for sexuality from her inception tried to turn around a pretend they were fans the whole time. Polygon IIRC, not clicking to give them links, deducted 1.5 points from Bayonetta 2's review score. The game was 9/10 in their view but the bumped it down to 7.5/10 due to her overt sexual nature. Bayonetta 3 rolls around they are saying that Platinum betrayed her character. Bayonetta constantly flirted with Luka and entrusted the life of her younger self to him. She didn't leave Cereza with Jean or Rodin, she left her with Luka. Her ended up in a relationship with him is supposed to be shocking? I'm really over social media, Twitter/X in particular, trying to put same sex best friends into sexual relationships. This shipping/head canon BS is way out of hand.

That was the funniest one to me. "She's totally gay!" What? The woman who said she loves Baby Making is gay? No gay person has ever said that lol. The girl spent 2 entire games flirting with Luka every second of screen time, and not once with a woman, totally gay eh? 
 
Bayo 3 blowing up their world was the funniest shit. "Whaaaaat, she loves Luka?!?!" 
 
Yea dumbasses how did you not notice HE is the Damsel in Distress in this series? Lmao. Media literacy is in the toilet lol 

I still remember laughing my ass off at the Bayonetta situation. All these people were going in on her design, how over sexualized she was, etc. Then they found out her character designer was a woman. I think that's the first time I heard the "internalized misogyny" term. Aka "this woman has a different point of view than me, HOW DARE SHE!"

My only issue is the assumptions everyone pushing back against her was a man. Plenty of shitty women do that shit to. 

I second this. MM 2 is a great game, but I feel like the sequels improved on the formula, but everyone just decided to stick with MM 2 for whatever reason.
 
It aint VGF but this track from MM 4 slaps so hard
 
 

As someone whose favorite classic Megaman game is Megaman 2, Megaman 2 is hella over rated. It deserves it but it's also pretty hand jobbed by the community. There are lots of reasons to like some of the other games more. Megam 2 is just one of the very first video games I ever beat and it set a standard for video game endings for me and all sorts of other shit. Megam 3s OST is fire and I don't blame anyone for loving it. 
 
I don't hate the Doc stages despite how filler they clearly are, I'm more annoyed by the Doc Robots who don't fit the robots patyers they are standing for making them way harder. Not being able to jump over them makes them so hard. 

@Darc_Requiem u right

Well I still really like the game and I think it succeeds in what it tries to do more often then it fails at it, I just think it does kinda fail at it more then I would really like. I do agree I think the point of CC was to flesh out Cloud, Zack, and Sephiroth and they mostly succeed, but like, I would have liked a lot more screen time between Cloud and Zack. They are apparantly best friends but all we really get to see is them bond over being backwoods boys. That's kind of it. Instead of more scenes between these two, we get a ton of scenes between Zack and a Fan Fiction Turk that hasn't been seen or mentioned since. Fucking Kunsel got a shout out in the remake but no word of Cissne or however her name is spelled. And almost everything surrounding Genesis and Hollander is just time that could have been spent on Wutai and shit that matters to world building and long term narrative. 
 
I don't think CCs story is awful I just think it wastes a lot of time on stuff people don't actually care about, like Genesis and Hollander, or they do a bad job of giving me any reason to care because most of the stuff these new characters do barely makes any sense in the first place. Like Angeals kind of stupid and almost everything he does makes no god damn sense. Hollander is actually plain stupid and over stays his welcome by a lot imo. 
 
I just think Crisis Core has tons of room for more human stories and interactions and instead we get this messy ass clone story that barely makes sense to the series wider scope with characters who all act fucking weird in order to make this weird clone story work. All we really needed was a story about two war buddies learning they backed the wrong horse. Instead we got this story that makes FF7s already wonky ass science fiction even more wonky and confusing and hard to follow lol. 
 
The remake to Crisis Core was excellent by the way. The graphical bump is fantastic, they barely changed anything mechanically. It's got more in common with a remaster then a remake honestly. If you liked Crisis Core on PSP you'll love this because it's Crisis Core but on a huge screen, with enough buttons for proper action game play. They got rid of the materia bar and it's now all hot keys and shit. So much faster and smoother. The game play is smoother to, they cleaned up all of Zacks animations so they flow smoothly instead of choppy and chunky like on PSP. 
 
One mechanical change they did make was to Zacks Buster Sword. You can hold Square for a special attack kinda like Clouds in the Remake when youre in Operator Mode. That's about it for changes tho. It's honestly Crisis Core but with QOL. If you liked CC, you'll like this.
