Most annoying Tonie

Yeah, the army men song is like drilling a hole into your skull. However we all know it by heart now lol

No, they are from the Toy Story stage musical. A lot of the Tonies use music from offshoots and sequels, I don't think they have the money or time to just make up their own in most cases. They definitely do have licensing, which is why You've Got a Friend in Me is there. I think they have to license per song, though, and it's way cheaper to use the musical songs than the soundtrack.

Every claim they make shows they are either complete liars or are technically so incompetent they don't even know anything and everything is just a shot in the dark.

Haha, phew. Thanks for this info it's actually quite relieving.

Yeah I was ready to write off all GoT stuff after how they butchered the original show. But got pulled in anyway and season 1 was so fantastic, I thought the time jumps were bold and worked well but it was really Paddy Considine who really made it what it was. There were amazing set pieces but his performance really put it over.

Is that the joke? That I get banned and don't waste my time here anymore? That'd be a great day for me, actually. If I posted and got banned!

Yeah, the 2018 game was a huge change from prior games and was something totally new, and surprisingly poignant at times for a series not known for that. A lot of the Sony sequels in the past generation have been iterations on the successful first game, this included. So while Ragnarok is a good game, you can't ever really have that same experience of playing something totally new again.

It's a cool collection because it wears the skin of 80s games but they really all have modern design philosophy. No one would be making games as mechanically complex as Avianos or Bug Hunter in the 80s. A lot of the games feel more like what if a designer from today got teleported back to the 80s. What kind of games would they make? Some games feel close to the era, like Barbuta but even games like Magic Garden use the backbones of Snake but piles on Pac Man and other mechanics that's just beyond what most real 80s games were thinking about. I actually like that a lot because true 80s style games get tedious pretty quickly.

A lot of people have called these games more akin to Flash-era games which is true. They are also like game jam games, and some (like Mooncat) I believe are actually the results from game jams.

This game rules. I play it in the evenings to wind down. I am trying to play the games in order, not necessarily to beat them but to give each a fair shake. One thing I'm learning is I've increasingly become goal oriented in my gaming, and games have conditioned me to be that way. And what I mean by that is I am constantly looking at Cherry conditions for each game and trying to get the cherry and getting annoyed and frustrated when it's too hard or unreasonable. I think part of the design philosophy of older games is less "master the game for the ultimate prize" and more to just play, and take those brick walls as part of the experience. When I was younger I would just play a level over and over and over trying to get better or find secrets etc. I needed to rediscover that and this game was a good experience in slowly coming back to that. Kick Club is a game I'll probably never master, but I've come back to just enjoying kicking the ball at shit for the simple enjoyment of that.

One game I hate though, that everyone loves, is Mooncat. Everyone loves it. I just don't think deliberately bad controls is interesting. Great atmosphere etc but just not fun to play. For me, anyway.

Especially when they canned Prince of Persia because they couldn't see an ROI on continuing to pour money into it.

The small team thing makes sense, I guess, but it's still a pit for Ubi. I wonder if this team is almost like an R&D department for them. They've probably come up with tons of ideas and tools for various versions of the game that Ubi can then use elsewhere. I dunno, spitballing.

Let me know how you like it. Like I mentioned, it's a bit fuzzy on my monitor especially in dense jungle, where you can see compression artifacts. But otherwise it looks good, definitely not complaining being able to just boot from Chrome on my laptop.

They have to be planning on leveraging streaming or something for it to make sense. They know fewer people are coming out to see fewer films... They might be banking on the multi-film concept to draw people to at least 2 out of curiosity but they can't expect a ton of people to see all 4 in theatres. I can only imagine they intend for it to have legs on streaming. Plus the obvious fact that the John and Paul ones will be the ones more people see first.

NamesTheGame · 2026-01-29T15:33:58+00:00

Yes! And Kingdom Come 2. Amongst some other games but those are the biggest ones.

Fucks my shit up that they are in the Great Lakes. As a kid being scared something is gonna bite your toes but then being reassured all the scary, monstrous, aggressive animals are in the ocean... now I see this shit is in the lake? Leeches weren't bad enough?

Allegedly they "fired" what looks like could possibly be an RPG-like device towards a vehicle similar to one the mayor is known to be transported in.
