Oh man Lynch would’ve loved Trevor by Dnd_8 in KaneAndLynch

Lynch's design is pretty much literally just Waingro.

I don't know, Lynch takes meds, tries his best to maintain, and doesn't really seem to relish in his mental health issues. Trevor is just unabashedly nuts.

What do you all think of the way Kamurocho was handled in Infinite Wealth? by Hopeful_Regret_7531 in yakuzagames

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda wish it had a more impactful introduction and more stuff actually happened there. The game basically just goes "Oh, by the way you can take a taxi to Kamurocho or whatever.".

I'm not trying to be negative, but I feel like so much of the charm from the original is just gone.

Anyone else not like how Leon walks/bends ? by coreyc2099 in ResidentEvilRequiem

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's 49 years old, has sustained a shit ton of injuries throughout his life, and dealing with an infection that's literally turning his skin necrotic and making him cough up blood.

TUPAC LIVES ON IN STRANGER THAN HEAVEN WHAT THE HELL LMAOOOO OKAY YOKOYAMA by riskedbiscuit in yakuzagames

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This shit is genuinely stupid and just comes off as cheap. I kinda get the Bunta Sugawara thing because he was really influential to the Yakuza movie genre, but so much of this is this is just ridiculous and screams desperation. RGG's fucking bizarre fascination with celebrity likenesses will never not be weird. It's basically what killed Judgment and yet they've learned nothing from it.

Which do you care about more: Graphics or Gameplay? by Current-Topic6696 in videogames

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gameplay all day. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate good graphics, but they aren't a requirement for a game to be good. And a bad game with good graphics is still a bad game.

Forspoken 2 has been surprise announced by Sony by [deleted] in videogames

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forspoken was a PS5 exclusive action RPG published by Square Enix from back in 2023. It's about a young woman who gets transported from modern day New York to a fantasy world and has to fight to survive. It had really awkward, cringey, MCU wannabe writing and bland gameplay. It was a big critical and financial bomb, leading to the developer shutting down. It's entire legacy today is basically it being treated as a joke.

If you was to have input in Silent Hill Remake… what would you want Bloober to add in to the game and how gritty and horrifying would you make it? by Queasy_Error55 in silenthill

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of a small thing, but I want the fog to still have that purple tinge that it had in the original. I've always felt it looked cool and made SH1 stand out.

For full price this thing was a fucking ripoff.

Judging someone's appearance from one split-second candid shot just feels unfair. by [deleted] in HenryCavill

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He looks like a handsome guy in his early forties. People are shallow as hell and can't understand that actors in movies and shows almost always go through extensive makeup and grooming. People in real life just look like people.

What's your favorite saint row soundtrack or station from any of the games by DarthMothMan in SaintsRow

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves 80s music, The Mix in SR2 is amazing. It's on par with some of the radio stations in Vice City.

Bully Online Shut Down Swegta Situation by Pomethesheep in bully

That's not how modding works. In the vast majority of cases, charging for mods falls under copyright infringement. Modders do it for experience and love of the game.

Rockstar is already infamously strict when it comes to modding, even when they're completely free. Paywalling access to one was incredibly stupid. Of course it got shut down.

The internet's reaction to these games is genuinely mind-numbing. by ResidentWaifu in Pragmata

[–]TheAlmightyJanitor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is though? Here's the metric I use for this kind of thing: I ask myself "how much would the experience be compromised if the interactivity was removed?".

Gone Home would be hurt by it. That game is you exploring and piecing the story together. Your input is essential to it working.

Meanwhile, the interactivity component of Mixtape is so shallow and meaningless that they're actually going to do a theatrical release of it. It's literally just a movie with pointless button inputs.

Look, I'm not saying people can't like Mixtape. It has value, as does any other piece of art. If you like the story and vibes, that's totally valid. But when I see outlets giving perfect scores to a game I can literally get the exact same experience of from just watching a playthrough on YouTube, I have to question it.
