Is this now a fight between random internet strangers? Are we supposed to use slurs? (JK, just in case)
Totally fair! Nothing can appeal to everyone, and I would never be accused of having average tastes. Loads of people seem to like Mario Cart Kart, but playing it makes me want to Kyle my way through a wall. I had just played Prey Mooncrash, and was jazzed up on the loop mechanic. If I played again I may feel differently.
I play every Dishonoured game every year, and Deathloop feels similar. It’s more like a new book from your favorite author, but in a different genre than they usually write in. Definitely feels closer to Prey gameplay wise (I also highly recommend Prey).
There is not as much interaction with the story NPCs, and there is less of a focus on stealth. I found myself murdering way more than with Dishonored. That said, I really enjoyed the powers offered in the game, the quick “restarting” of the loop, and the overall story was good.
Yeah, 100%. It’s just that usually when something like this gets a large-ish negative reaction it’s because people associate it with furries or some other “taboo” fetish/lifestyle.
I also find that furry stuff gets way more hate than it deserves (which is none hate). I say boo to that! So long as stuff is consensual and nobody gets hurt (who doesn’t want to, lookin’ at you BDSM), then let people enjoy things.
Side note: It’s hilarious how for years people were cheering on Captain Kirk for banging green alien chicks, but cat ears and a tail is a no-go. Cross-species stuff is cool so long as they’re from another planet? What if it was planet Yiff? On the topic of aliens, do we even know if Superman has a human-like penis? Maybe Kryptonians bust onto egg clutches, who’s to say?
Anywho, people are silly and really like policing other people’s likes.
“Blaster Master?” takes long drag on cigarette “I haven’t heard that name game in years.”
Man, I remember playing the OG on NES. Didn’t know they remade it… And made it all anime lookin’? Neat. If you’ll excuse me, I must go and tidy my crypt now.
I recently picked up the Castlevania Anniversary Collection. For all the Metroidvanias I’ve played as an adult, I never really got too into them as a kid. Gotta make up for that at some point, lol. Symphony of the Night isn’t on there, but I don’t want to start mid storyline (I’m kidding). My biggest fear is playing Castlevania will just make me more impatient for the next season of Castlevania Nocturne.
Sweet, thanks! I loved the heck outta Blasphemous and the Ori games. I’d love to see another game in the Ori universe, it’s so pretty. Some of the others have been on my wish list for a bit. Might be time to crack one open.
Another not bad series is Guacamelee. I haven’t played the second one yet, but I really enjoyed the humor and gameplay of the first.
And yet you didn’t capitalize Mario. Interesting.
