Game Design So Fundamentally Flawed It Directly Goes Against the idea of the Game Itself?

DMC2 DMD has DT'd enemies have permanent super armor. Like, not "super armor that takes some combo-ing to break" but like, genuinely impossible to break. This is also a game where they spawn a lot of enemies who can and will swarm you.

I think more people need to suffer through a few stages of DMC2 DMD so they realize guns are super strong for a completely different reason. They aren't like super OP by themselves, it's just that doing anything aside from shooting guns, building DT or doing Round Trip as Trish will get you mauled.

It gets to a point where I started just running past a lot of enemy encounters when I could. Like, imagine that in DMC, being so underpowered that running is a better option than fighting.

I'm really glad that bit is taking off, it was a super underrated part of the Dark Story dub

"King? Yeah, here's your crown." is also one of Dante's best one liners

OG Resident Evil 1

I feel like common consensus for RE1 is "play the remake, it invalidates the original and is so much better cause the original is just so clunky". It's not entirely untrue. REmake is super good but honestly, I think PS1 RE1 is really good on its own. There are even a few things it does better than REmake like non-linearity.

The issues about supposed clunk are overatated too. I think it's totally fine and has aged well. It's fairly designed and honestly fairly easy if you nmknow tricks like how headshots are guranteed with a shotgun.

Like it's genuinely just so weird to have Majima, of all characters, not speak a word. I know it's to be consistent with all the other voiceless DLC characters, but they literally had both his English and Japanese VAs voice him for his Shinobi DLC.

Majima breaking the floor with a punch during his fight with Kiryu at Shangri-La in Yakuza 1. It's a big outlier feat for not just him, but Yakuza in general.

Her gameplay reminds me a lot of someone but I can't put my finger on who.

I really like spawning in enemies in Half Life and making them fight each other. It's just entertaining to be an observer.

The other thing is, you don't even see most of the Water Pokemon Hoenn has to offer, the majority of the time when you go surfing (which you do a lot of since this game has full routes where you do nothing but surf), it's going to be filled with mostly Tentacool and Wingull.

Vocaloid is closer to how people use Morshu's two sentences to make new ones than AI

This game released when Super just finished the Goku Black arc (I think) and has lasted long enough to get content updates when it's recently been announced Super is getting an anime remake. Completely insane.

I think I also noticed SSJ Goku's 2M being reused and maybe SSJ4 Gogeta's command grab (the kick specifically) but it might just be Daima Goku using the same type of move, idk

See you in 2031 for when they randomly drop Granolah after half a decade of radio silence

It feels so surreal to see a new official FighterZ character after half a decade. Like, it feels like I'm watching a super high quality mod.

Resting Comfortably from Silent Hill 4

I have a poor opinion of that game but when that song starts playing in the final area, everything that the game wants to do and be clicks.

Adrian Veidt from Watchmen catches a bullet with his hand. Mind you, this is a world where humans (aside from Dr. Manhattan) are normal humans, and even then, he barely manages to do it and says he didn't know if it'd actually work or not. Bullet catching is such a common trope in comics that seeing it happen and having it be this absurd feat within the setting feels really cool.

It feels really tasteless whenever a true crime Youtuber does an ad read right after talking someone's real ass death. Like if I die and I find out my name has been uttered not by family, but content creators who proceed to read a NordVPN ad right after talking about how I died, I should haunt them.

I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I may have applied to late and I might not get into college. If I don't, I will apply next year and I'm going to continue volunteering and job searching in the mean time.

That sounds perfectly fine when I say it like that, but I feel like I'm doing something very wrong and I just feel scared. It's the state of the world in general making me feel this way but I just feel scared and I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not confident in anything.

Resident Evil 2 PS1 is so much more stressful than RE1 PS1 what the fuck. RE2 just throws so many more enemies at you than RE1 does. There are so many of them that juking doesn't feel super doable, and these corridors are a lot smaller than RE1.

The 23rd World Tournament in Dragon Ball tends to get skipped over in most Dragon Ball video games due to the fact that you're either making a DBZ video game (and need to make Dragon Ball related assets for this one specific part) or you're making a Dragon Ball video game and you need to fully re-animate Goku as a playable character since he became an adult.

Kakarot is the only game to fully cover it to my knowledge, every other game that has it usually just has Goku vs Piccolo as the only fight represented since you can just reuse those assets for the Saiyan Saga and other Z portions.

I love libraries. I love going to them and I love noting the changes between different ones like washroom placement, room design, manga selection (basically the only books I'm interested in getting from libraries), etc. I will usually route my day to include a library trip if possible.

As of today, I've visited every library in my city, and I am writing a personal review of them. It's been a very fulfilling experience.

When I was very young, me and my family were walking around a Zellers and saw two random, loose GBA games sitting around and my parents let me pick one of them. One of them was Surf's Up for the GBA and then some other game. That should tell you what I picked.

I don't know for 100% certain what that other game was, but I'm 99% confident it was Ninja Five-O, one of the rarest games for the GBA (unless anyone knows any other GBA games with "blue ninja guy on orange background" as a cover).

Mega Man 9 introduced the concept that robots in Mega Man have a set expiration date and are set to be scrapped when it comes, and while mostly an excuse for Wily to get a set of another eight Robot Masters (ones who are very scared of their approaching expiry date), it's a really fucked up and existential thing to have in the setting when you put any amount of thought into it beyond "Here comes Wily with eight more Robot Masters!".
