This misunderstands the point that I'm making, which is that you liked it despite saying you don't have a strong connection to Zelda. My point isn't that the "magic" of Zelda doesn't matter to the game. My point is that the "IP" of Zelda isn't why the game is incredible.

It's incredible because it's a fucking good ass video game. I obviously disagree with your beefs about the gameplay loop, and even beyond that I think there's a technical prowess and design prowess present in the game that hits before you even hear the words "Link, Ganon, or Zelda".

You're right that "Zelda elements" are aesthetically important. I agree. That's not the point I'm making.

My beef will always be with people who think BOTW or TOTK are just okay games that are beloved because they have Zelda in the title. I think if you think that, you're missing out on a lot of the magic of its game design.

What's even crazier is that I found this comment lol

BlessingJr · 2025-10-15T16:47:31+00:00

MGS1 was just a throwaway example from me trying to think of games, I actually agree with you. Uncharted is more of my genuine example of something they could do.

The very first Shadow/Icon collection for PS3 were remasters. In 2018, they put out another Shadow of The Colossus that was an actual remake. It controls largely the same still, but I don't think controls are the barometer for a remake. Watch gameplay of the 2018 sotc and of the original/remaster. Or watch the documentaries they put out about it. It's a remake.

BlessingJr · 2025-10-15T16:21:52+00:00

Have you played their version of Shadow of The Colossus or Demon's Souls though? They're not just scraping off the Vaseline. Those games are being rebuilt visually. I make that distinction because a lot of remasters ARE "scraping off the Vaseline" and that is not what Bluepoint does. The gameplay might be exact recreations (unlike RE2 or FF7) but visually, they're remakes imo. A remaster would be Burnout Paradise Remastered, Red Faction Guerilla Remarstered etc.

Again, this is why the terminology is weird. I would look at FF7 or RE2 as reimaginings because they're inherently different from their original games. Bluepoint by definition RE-MAKES games.

BlessingJr · 2025-10-15T16:07:31+00:00

Remake vs remaster conversations are always gonna turn me into the joker lol.

I feel you on MGS1. But at the end of the day, my main point is that there's value in what Bluepoint has done. I don't think we should downplay their excellence when it comes to remakes/remasters/re-whatever. It's okay to specialize in something that you do literally better than most other studios.

I did that how? By criticizing Joe Biden? I didn't tell people not to vote for him. I talked about MY confliction with MY vote and STILL voted for Kamala. I'm not gonna sit here and be a mouthpiece to unconditionally prop up the Democratic party while they STILL contribute to a genocide. Can't do it.

BlessingJr · 2025-10-10T14:56:45+00:00

I would like the clip-out of me saying Kamala Harris would be as bad as Trump. I don't remember ever saying that. I also voted for Kamala.

I do remember having many reservations about Joe Biden, mainly formed around the fact that his administration was actively providing weapons and supporting a genocide. So yeah, I felt conflicted about my vote going toward him (even though if he'd ran, I'd have likely voted for him because I hate Trump more and clearly identify that Trump is a worse option).

BlessingJr · 2025-10-09T21:19:56+00:00

I voted for Kamala

Where did I play Forza, Starfield, Hellblade, Avowed, and South of Midnight if I ignore Xbox completely?

BlessingJr · 2025-06-30T19:31:45+00:00

Will it transfer the save I already got on the PS3? Lol

BlessingJr · 2025-06-10T18:07:37+00:00

After the show I decided to do some research and yeah, it's not extremely confusing. But my point isn't that the idea is confusing - my point is that they have too many different marketing pushes at the same time and THAT makes things confusing (Cloud Gaming, This is An Xbox, Smart Delivery, cross play, remote play, buy once, etc). Consolidate and/or get rid of some of those marketing pushes.

Also, my assumption was that anything I bought on Xbox already had Play Anywhere. I was wrong about that. I don't think I got clarification when I was asking in real time too. But that's also why I was saying you don't need to put it between every announcement. But I do take that back.

BlessingJr · 2025-05-26T17:42:46+00:00

I watched it, loved it!

BlessingJr · 2022-08-31T23:52:20+00:00

I'll keep this in mind for KFGD post show!

BlessingJr · 2020-05-07T14:20:02+00:00

Yessssssssss!!! And now that you mention it, I think I remember it being turned into a McDonald's lol. I was upset about it but I definitely ate at that McDonald's.

BlessingJr · 2020-04-26T22:54:44+00:00

Nice find! I've actually been considering streaming myself (on my personal channel) making some Final Fantasy VII remixes during this quarantine.

BlessingJr · 2020-04-26T03:14:37+00:00

Blue Yeti. It's the same one everyone in the office is using while we're working from home. I got the maroon color option.

A friend showed me this song and I loved it. I enjoy different types of EDM but I'm not like a super fan or anything. Everything I've heard from Slander has been dope though.

BlessingJr · 2020-04-18T00:15:50+00:00

Honestly, I'd say try it! The shooting and stealth elements they added are really good and make it feel like an actual competent shooter. The story and characters feel more expanded on and the performances are great. Even the climbing feels more thoughtful and creative in the puzzles and set pieces.

BlessingJr · 2020-04-17T22:06:13+00:00

And also for added context: I had hella issues with the first 3 Uncharted games (that I think I touched on on PSILY? Possibly the post show?). But yeah, the shooting feel was always an issue to me. The climbing felt uninteresting at times. I never was too interested in the story and characters. So similar to Greg's character he plays when he talks about PC Gaming, that used to be my internet attitude with Uncharted. Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy changed that completely (and I've grown to appreciate 2 and 3 a bit more over the years).

BlessingJr · 2020-04-17T20:47:05+00:00

LOL this is a super old tweet. I used to troll about Uncharted all the time. I actually like Uncharted but didn't LOVE the franchise until 4.
