you ever get really wistful thinking man i loved this series I'd love to play new games in it but they deviated too far from what made it good in the first place and you can only look on as people play the new ones and ignore the old games

a worrying trend I keep hearing from ppl who want to sound smart when they talk about old games and it happens with fighting games way too often is ppl saying "nobody knew how to make games yet" as if there were no traceable dna of every solid mechanic and design they believe to have value

Always fun to hear folks say that Sonic 1 is an unplayable shitty ass game or whatever because the implication seems to be that its popularity at the time is from an entire generation of video game players that had no idea what they were doing. Also seems to mostly be Sonic fans saying this.

Can't wait for Ocarina of Time dickriders to claim the og, which they have relentlessly beat off for decades, is old and busted and that's why the remake was needed. Alternatively, they won't and then maybe we'll reckon with remake culture for once.

Kingdom Hearts team will do literally anything to avoid making a grounded action game. It's hard to believe 1 and 2 are from the same series at this point.

2015: it has been many years since a new mainline Persona release. Fans are gobbling up alternative versions of Persona 3 & 4. 2026: it has been many years since a new mainline Persona release. Fans are gobbling up alternative versions of Persona 3 & 4. 2035:

Just watched a bunch of Red Wing blackbirds fuck up a raven for getting to close. Ripped a few tail feathers out and everything. Get his ass!!!!!!

New God of War gameplay starts with the call of the North American native mourning dove despite the series' Eurasian setting. Another failure from Sony.

In light of the Yujiro Hanma Tekken announcement I am very fearful of the rumour that Tifa is going to be in Street Fighter 6. I am so fucking sick of guest characters in fighting games. Absolute metaverse slop tier hollow hype fests. The only good guest fighter ever was Akatsuki in Under Night.
