axeman61 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) Horror is easier to make than other stuff. That goes for movies and games. Fans just want to be scared, and that's relatively easy, as what's scary isn't as subjective for most people as what's, say, funny. It's way more achievable on a sensible budget too.

Someone could make a really cute platformer based on the earlier Mickey Mouse stuff kinda like Mickey Mania but why do that when you can splurge out some shitty horror movie/game DangerousJ and Jurassic 2 Quote Link to comment

RegH81 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Happy New Year, nerds. ------ I don't know about other systems but DariusBurst CS Cire + TAITO/SEGA Pack is on sale for $17.99 on the eShop through January 5th. Really good deal for a dope SHMUP. The SEGA and Taito ships give what was already a really good SHMUP a new feel. Plus, you get the music from the respective games. METAL BLACK and RayForce music in a Darius game is great. GreyFoxx, Wellman and RSG3 3 Quote Link to comment
MillionX Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Skyrim--- so I returned to the spot and found "Krosis" again; interestingly enough his health was still lowered from our previous battle; I forgot the game apparently does that... of course now as a vampire lord it wasn't even a contest at this point. To be extra sure, I activated the Orc racial power and *then* changed into my monster form.... Krosis was destroyed in about 4 or 5 attacks since he was already at around half health or so. One cool thing you get from killing the dragon priests--- the masks; I just like the way they look, but they also have powerful bonuses... this one gives an increase to 3 stats though I haven't bothered equipping it yet. ...heading back to Whiterun, I was floating around in monster form and got too close to the city, saw the guards running over to attack...."oh yeah; oops, lol"...heh heh, I remember making that mistake before, way back on my first character... I went back out of sight around some corner and changed back to human form and returned to the city area. That's funny to me that the guards have no idea that the monster they were chasing a little while ago was me. ha, I can imagine my character telling them "hey be careful guys... there's some dangerous creatures out there; there was some big vampire in the area just a few moments ago...I managed to sneak past that thing and get here safely."

IMO it's so uninspiring and worn out. Probably wouldn't be that way if the people doing this stuff actually had a legit idea instead of doing it just because they can. So far everything feels like shoehorned, edgy and tryhard with very little influence at all for the source. Everyone is pretty much "what if family friendly character was a murderer?" instead of trying to take the property and twist it like American Mcgee's Alice.

The two highlights of gaming for me were Sekiro and Dead Cells. Sekiro is easily one of my top 10 favorite games of all time now, it was an incredible experience (that I'm still not done with yet.) Dead Cells is addictive as all hell. The game really surprised me and I had an absolute blast with it, especially with all the Castlevania content. Hopefully it paves the way for a new CV game RSG3, Camacho and DangerousJ 3 Quote Link to comment

RegH81 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 My last physical game purchase for 2023 was Fight'N Rage on Switch. My first physical game for 2024 was Cuphead.

MillionX Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 It was mostly Diablo 4, Diablo 3 and Baldur's Gate 3, and Dead Cells for me in 2023...and probably still Elden Ring earlier in the year, I think....and of course just in the pat few weeks Skyrim has hooked me again.... my level 15 Imperial has more perks on the Vampire Lord skill-tree now, and currently on a mission for the great Lord Harkon.

JGreen Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Best game for me last year was BG3. I never thought there would be a game I’d enjoy more than a new Zelda, but here we are. Spider Man 2 was also great. I still need to try out Alan Wake 2 at some point though I may not since I never played the first game. DangerousJ, Darc_Requiem and Hawkingbird 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Camacho Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I'd say my favorite new to me games of 2023 were RE4R, GoW: Ragnarok, Infernax, Gravity Circuit, and Getsu Fuma Den: Undying Moon.

Even if he wasn't a gay furry his comment was dumb AF period. I don't know how you anyone could even say something like that while mentioning the black characters that have been in Tekken prior while not even considering that they could be in the game later as DLC. It just doesn't make any sense. Dude clearly likes Eddy and that's all well and good but calling the Director for the game racist cause your favorite character isn't in the current iteration of the game when they were in the previous one is wild assertion to make with no basis at all to stand on. It's on the same level as saying the director of SF is racist because Balrog isn't in SF6 while blatantly ignoring Kimberly. RSG3, Chadouken and Darc_Requiem 3 Quote Link to comment

Crashes coupled with the way the game saves were god awful- I worked around it by copying the hidden save files frequently. Quote Link to comment
