Man, I freaking love GOG 💜


You have to… No, You NEED to Play Downhill Domination. There is NO WAY you won’t have fun playing that, trust me.

Oh! And Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3! You don’t have to be a DBZ fan to have fun with that, is amazing and so chaotic!

Also, have you consider trying Devil May Cry 3? (Don’t worry about the number, it’s a precule). It’s kinda hard but so fun and satisfying.

No Final Fantasy because I’m not even sure where to start!

I had the same problem too, but after trying to play them chronologically (and failing), I learned that you can play any FF game at any time, cuz they are very unique and don’t actually relate one another.

Final Fantasy X is a great pick, for example, it helped me overcome my despise for Turn-base combat RPG.

And, if you’re up to some Big Robot Fight mayhem anime style, Zone of The Enders is Amazing.

edit: AND YAKUZA! HOW COULD I FORGOT YAKUZA!!?? YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE FIRST YAKUZA ASAP!!

(unless you want to play / already played the kiwami version, which may be a better experience)


God, every new things i hear from this is worse and WORSE.


Every day I am more convinced that someone made a wish to the monkey paw for Nintendo to do something about Palworld, and now we are where we are.


They must be like the guy who is involved in the mischief but since he is not as visible as the others, he pretends that the issue is not with him to see if he gets away with it.


Collective Shout says it wasn’t their fault, MC and Visa say it wasn’t their fault, Steam and Itch say it wasn’t their fault. Conclusion? No one is to blame! No one did it! What’s more, it didn’t even happen!! it was all a figment of our imagination!





cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/33613807 This article discusses how Mouthwashing was allegedly deindexed on Itch, implying that it was due to censorship, but that is not the case. The response from Itch on the matter: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/22807c86-97ef-4056-8995-c287250594cd.jpeg) [Archive that proves the game wasn't indexed since 2024](https://web.archive.org/web/20241107033706/https://itch.io/search?q=mouthwashing) I sincerely apologize for unintentionally helping to spread misinformation. May this post serve as a warning that Mouthwashing was not censored and that we must remain cautious about what we see on social media. ###### (i feel so stupid, now i hate Gamespot)

In the same way nicotine makes smoking more interesting.


What the fuck were the PS2 marketing team smoking?!


So is like what happened in ZA/UM with Disco Elysium?




Ehm, no? Christian Whitehead and co didn’t singlehandedly save the franchise, to think that is absurd.

Frontiers was the most acclaimed game of the franchise created by Sonic Team in years, and Sonic X Shadow Generations was created on the basis of Frontiers and was a success.

What about the movies? I’ve met more new Sonic fans who were introduced to the franchise by the movies than by Sonic Mania. It doesn’t even come close.

What Mania have to do with the fact that Sonic Racing Crossworld is one of the most anticipated games of the year?

Mania is great, and yes, it was an important part of the renaissance of the franchise, but not the only one nor the most crucial. We have to quit treating Mania like the second coming of Jesus, please.



I don’t mean that other people have changed your opinion, but quite the opposite: a game that you think is good and you didn’t know that other people hated it.


The PS2 version, which i think is kinda the same as the Wii version. It was my first PS2 game ever too.


I bet it was to artificially increase the difficulty of those levels, if not, I can’t explain why. It is the single detail that makes the Knuckles/Rouge levels less enjoyable.



I was 10 years old when I played Unleashed. I wouldn’t even have internet back then (I’m from Latin America)


A game you “didn’t know it was bad 'til people told you so”?
I'm talking about games that you still like but you had no idea were criticized so much. The perfect example for me is Sonic Unleashed. I admit that the game has its bad things, but I would have never imagined that it was so hated at the time... Although, that could be extended to the entire Sonic franchise, since for many years I was not aware at all of that "Sonic was never good", "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" nonsense.

I think it’s a reaction to the negative reaction the console had when it was announced. Just as there are people telling lies in favor of the console, there are those who tell lies against it. It’s a give and take between Nintendo simps and Nintendo Haters.

(IMHO None of this wouldn’t be happening if it weren’t for the fucking games at $80-$90)

The natural order: first the remake of the second game, then the first, then the third and then forget about The Room because nobody liked that game (I did, I like The Room).

I think it’s only worth buying a Switch 2 if you’ve never owned the Switch 1. With how continuous the console is and how similar the experience is, only marginally improved, I don’t think it’s a good idea to get carried away by the hype and buy it just because.


It’s going to have crossplay, so for me it’s already GOTY material.


Sonic fan for more than two decades here! It’s always great to see more people interested in the franchise!

I would say that maybe it would be good to start with Sonic Generations (or Sonic x Shadow Generations if you can afford it, which is the same but with the Shadow The Hedgehog story as an extra), so you get familiar with the gameplay of both classic and modern games, have a sense of where it’s going and decide whether to go ahead or not.

I see that your interest is more focused on the characters and their dynamics, fantastic! the best part of the franchise in my opinion!. In that sense I would say that your best option to go deeper after Sonic Generations would be the mythical Adventure saga (Adventure 1 and Adventure 2). They are the games in which much more emphasis was put on the characters and the story.

Already after this and if you are hooked is that I recommend that you play the classics. You can play Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles in Sonic Origins (although you can also emulate the Mega Drive games), and then there is Sonic Mania. Why not start with the classics? Because they are very much of their time: pure gameplay, simple and not so deep story, but very fun to play!

You talk about games, but let me recommend you to read the IDW Comics in a complementary way. They are REALLY good! If I remember correctly, one of the artists on the comics, Evan Stanley, worked on The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the story of the game plays out very similar to how the Comics read. It’s also where you’ll find the most depth in the characters (and you’ll encounter the best story arc EVER written for the franchise, EVER).

To sum up:

  1. Sonic Generations (Or Sonic x Shadow Generations)
  2. Sonic Adventure 1 and 2
  3. Sonic Origins (Which are Sonic 1, CD, 2, 3 & Knuckles)
  4. Sonic Mania
  • Extra: IDW’s Sonic comics.

Good luck and have fun!


This game was so much fun! There were moments when I was struggling not to die laughing. One of those moments that are unrepeatable.



Those poor two or three guy in Antarctica…


It is always a good idea to change your password from time to time.


Me too. But nearly 100 million others don’t, it seems.


Oh, so Apple is eager for another demand, huh



I know, right? It’s too little for that amount of information. I mean, almost 100 million compromised accounts is not few.


Ah, OK 😅. Well, to be fair, we are in the internet, is hard to tell a joke or sarcasm from honest opinions. That’s why i always use “/s.” to not be misinterpreted.







If you mean Microsoft, I think they will also raise prices just because. They did it recently.

We’re cooked no matter what.


> In short, if you happen to hack your Switch or run emulators, you may find that it winds up getting bricked entirely. **Nintendo is Nintendoing again!**
