I figured I might have. I just wanted to note the past of the AC series.

“Normal” people mindlessly buy AC whenever they release a new one, despite most of them being the same mediocrity each time. One or two get mentioned as people’s favorite and the only games they can even recommend in the series, again, despite there being numerous games. People also shouldn’t be upset when an objective mediocrity is noted. A small release window between games is one such factor. But this is what people want. So, enjoy!

And it didn’t piggyback into a new title. I suppose there’s still time for that, but not really. It was just a half-assed re-release, with the Nintendo price tag. They’re not even the best AW games.

Club Nintendo 2 time??

Right. At this point it feels a little like time wasted on collecting free games that never get played.

I just like the idea of skipping one’s only life story to get on with the game already!

It crashed a lot too. Which was odd for a DS game.

Honestly, I thought it longer.

Bowtie, but I think the neck tie could stand a better chance if it was wider IMO.

Maybe it’s because it’s a definitive version and not the original release.

I’m guessing the prettiness attracts more than a great gameplay. But I’m basically there with you.

Basically what I’ve seen everyone stream on Twitch throughout the year.

I once bet a guy a $1 that I could take two people, one a stockbroker the other a homeless person, and trade their lives to see the social ramifications. Lotta laughs, that’s for sure.

I appreciate that. Maybe I’ll mess around with the options some more. I believe it’d be the Tetris game I’d look at again if I ended up doing so. No access to VR, but that might be neat.

I’m not sure I played that one but the name is definitely familiar.

Reminds me of the business plans of the business guys from Ready Player One. “We estimate we can sell up to 80 percent of a user’s visual field before inducing seizures.” 😂

They’ve been messing around with Tetris this entire generation. So many better Tetris games have existed before and we got stuck with Tetris 99 (which admittedly isn’t the worst, just distracting imo), Tetris Effect (more distractions, less fun), and a slew of ancient games, some connected to pay services.

My favorite Tetris of all time, and I’m no master, is The New Tetris, from N64. Its feature of block making (4x4 constructions) was very interesting. Some Tetris games since then have implemented their own unique features, some more interesting than others. All of these games have been tabled in favor of those others I mentioned, with the closest being another flop imo, Puyo Puyo Tetris. Some garbage combination with terrible graphics.

Tetris has been done dirty over the last several years. And, this latest game, Tetris Forever, looks like a tribute to that terribleness!

Folded right into the trash

Make better games, assholes

You’re ancient!

Rockstar expectations be pretty low these days. They just removed the name of the developer from the recent GTA remakes. I don’t know about this company anymore.

Russian pigs

Playing leaked games early. Wow, you have no standards. Just hate for Nintendo.

From what I can tell, this trailer is about it going gold.

They signed a deal with Sony, too.

The latest Nintendo!

Wii Channels for the win!

Fuck your trilogy. Let’s start with one. Hope it all works out otherwise.

GOG for the win (sometimes)!

While indie studios have popped up and filled some of that void.

I wonder when it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 🤣

I liked what you said about breaking things down by elements. That might be a better way of judging things.

But they aren’t pointless. Most times they aren’t as helpful as you’d like, but I think that’s baked in, with less than fully honest reviews counted among the ratings. But otherwise, they show ranges and a base with which to judge through your own preferences. One example was when I used to read Nintendo Power. I understood their scores were inflated, especially for Nintendo’s own games, if you weren’t already a super fan. You could accurately remove a solid point from their scores and figure that would be another way to view it. Or, as a fan, I didn’t mind the inflated score because it probably captured my excitement/future experience with the game having similar preferences.

The rest of the time I see a sea of mediocrity with many many games residing in the 7 to lower 8s range of scoring. With 8.5, 9, 9+ games also out there, a statement like this developer is making only makes sense if your game is heavily discounted. So, in the end, I think an accurate score does mean something. The next Far Cry to immediately drop to 20 bucks, or Assassin’s Creed, and there are many others like this, just goes to show the lack of care and what should be lacking scores. Some of those games probably received more than they deserved.

This seems nsfw

Is it the same guy? Or do they just keep cloning and reprinting him?

I think we’re the advertising
