Not to be confused with the Soulsborne edutainment game Nounfall.

And yet they exist for absolutely anything.

This is, unfortunately, the market. For many IPs, the only collectable that exists is the Funko Pop. So, it’s either one of those, or no memorabilia at all. (Personally, the latter is far preferable, but folks like their doodads.)

The cliffhanger ending of E2 would do it.

The Sims 2

Shared goal? Shared with whom?

Diversity, equality, and inclusion. All very terrible things, as you can see…

Oh yes, I keep forgetting about that. Must give it a try sometime.

Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle was a rare gem from Ubi. Other than that, their best “recent” game is probably Rayman Legends, and that’s like a decade old now

A video game that happens to get big updates every so often…? Call 'em expansion packs if that makes life easier

2008 called, it wants its retorts back

Meaning…?

Ooh, Oddworld is a good shout. I loved 100%-ing Abe’s Exoddus

Lego Star Wars TCS took a LOT of backtracking… but I did have fun with it. Think it took me about 40 hours by the end?

You can 100% the first three Spyro games in about 9-12 hours each. The first one can be done without any backtracking, even, since you have the same move set throughout.

I believe modern games take 100% runs way too far. I enjoyed 100%-ing the 3D Mario games… and then I got to Odyssey, and it was such a ridiculous slog that I couldn’t get much further than the standard ending.

XCOM 2 Legacy Soundtrack. Some darned good beats on there.

No, that was Halo Reach

Halo deserves a bit more than a fun action show, yaknow?

Just me or do aluminium buttons sound really uncomfortable?

Apologies for being out of the loop, but… queue? Isn’t it single-player? Or were they throttling downloads?

Meanwhile Stardew: “here’s a sequel’s worth of new stuff. Oh, and here’s another sequel’s worth of new stuff. Enjoy!”

If there was ever a suitable time to release a game to the public domain…

If you’re getting a big heap of money from Microsoft, who cares what decisions you make? (Playing devil’s advocate)

This is what happens everywhere: they’ll just keep chancing it until such a time as it’s acceptable.

Okay, so while you can’t literally use nothing but the SSG for the entirety of Doom II (especially since you don’t get it until MAP02), you can comfortably use it at least 90% of the time on UV. Shells are plentiful throughout the game.

Doom II wasn’t boring.

Oh, nothing was missing. In fact, Galaxy’s one of my absolute favourite games ever, and it feels fantastic.

I just personally feel 64 feels perfect, in ways that no other 3D platformer (let alone any 3D Mario) has matched. If I could try Galaxy with a regular controller, though, that might change things. (I know you can play it on Switch, but you still need to point at stuff, and it’s not ideal)

I tend to agree, but it would be nice to play with the nice, rich visuals of Halo 2 Anniversary. And not have to look at Lord Hood’s craggy visage or the slightly polygonal Marine heads.

Reach, on the other hand: no remaster would improve how that game looks. Still a stunning bit of work all these years later.

I can’t believe they’re remastering Combat Evolved again, but not Halo 3.

Well, as long as they do a better job than the original CE Anniversary, I’ll probably play it.

It’s more about feeling. The platforming feels crisp, the levels feel the right size, the controls feel responsive. No other Mario game has quite matched SM64’s mobility, not even my beloved Galaxy games

Genuinely couldn’t be bothered with Odyssey after a while. That was a game with just too much to do

The trouble I have with Sunshine is that when I play, I wish I was playing SM64

So what would you do instead?

Pro Pinball Timeshock Ultra Edition, probably

For general purpose, I’d say 8bitdo Ultimate C.

I am a huge fan of the GameCube pad and would use it for everything if I could.

For 2D games, particularly fighting games, I’m very fond of the Saturn pad.

However, if I had to pick a best controller ever, it’s got to be the SNES pad. No question.

Simutrans is quite interesting, although it’s probably closer to a Transport Tycoon than a SimCity. Otherwise I tend to go for SimCity 3000.

Fuck corporations

is precisely what everyone’s been saying this whole time. Nobody’s blaming the devs. Your rant is misplaced.

I agree with your statement. However, what I believe the original comment was saying is that if the developers who have lost their jobs were to get together and make a game as they describe, then they would buy it. The malice was directed at Microsoft and so on.

At least, that’s how I read it…

It’s called market research.

Guessing XCOM 2, judging by the font.
