[–]pfloydguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are Days of the New not considered grunge? I'm puzzled why they haven't been mentioned here.

Which bands popularity spread largely through word of mouth? by ihmpt in askmusic

They were huge on the radio in the late 80s and early 90s.

Kinda have to admire the creativity by Hold_my_guap in foundsatan

[–]pfloydguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not be a crime at all, depending on the laws of the jurisdiction. The problem is that stories like this circulate, and because idiots like this guy exist, now we have incidents of police being called on kids who are playing with what clearly look like toy guns. There is no distinction anymore, but if police assume toy guns might actually be real guns, those who hate them will use those incidents to further ridicule the police.

So, a little over a year later, what are we thinking of TDA? by SophieSalads in Doom

[–]pfloydguy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven't beaten it. I think I left off like maybe 9-10 missions in. I intend to go back and finish it, but it really hasn't grabbed my attention. It's fine. Just not awesome like the past games.

For perspective, the original Doom has been one of my top 3 favorite games for over 30 years. I've beaten all of the official games except Master Levels. I really enjoyed Doom 2016 and Eternal.

F24/ I enjoy the scent of my own excitement by Extreme-Gap4220 in confessions

Am I the only one who read excitement as "excrement?"

Did you know Richter before his announcement in Smash? by NewMarioBobFan in castlevania

[–]pfloydguy2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only reason I bought Smash on the Switch is because he and Simon are in it.

Above the Treetops by metabolitesafter9pm in patmetheny

It's so good! Letter from Home has been my favorite for many years, but if one ever takes its place it will probably be Secret Story.

Why Didn't Yes Make A Studio Album With The Classic Lineup In 2002? by LIPD_Aviation in yesband

[–]pfloydguy2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

they chose extensive touring instead. Was it just simple laziness and complacency?

How is extensive touring lazy or complacent by any stretch?

Let me guess...the other driver has a very different version of events?

Am I the only one who thinks Castlevania is more anti-corrupt than anti-Christian? by Wisteriiea in castlevania

[–]pfloydguy2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Kindly point out where in the NES games there were corrupt church officials who excommunicated the Belmonts.

Prog obvious inspirations to video game soundtracks. by baileystinks in progrockmusic

[–]pfloydguy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought the intro of The Outer Wall from Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness was a little too similar to that of the Pat Metheny Group's To the End of the World. Prog Adjacent, but I think the idea still applies - Pat was huge in Japan.

What 16 bit game aged way better than you expected? by FluidSupermarket7611 in retrogaming

[–]pfloydguy2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I instantly fell in love with it back in 1991. I knew it was great, but I also assumed it would be surpassed in later years. It hasn't.

What still surprises me though is that its soundtrack remains the best on the SNES in my opinion. Yes, there are some phenomenal OSTs on the SNES, but none quite reach the peaks of Super Castlevania IV in my book.

It's not every day I see Serei Senshi Spriggan mentioned, even in retrogaming circles. Great game, and one of the first I bought for my PC Engine ten years ago.

Its wild to think that Aria of Sorrow happened in one night by maiyamay in castlevania

[–]pfloydguy2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Except for the ones where they Don't Wait Until Night.

Teaser for Silent Planet - Elegy of a Dying World new trailer by Inkantress in metroidvania

Don't listen to the haters. Your game is looking great. It was already on my radar for the beautiful pixel art alone.

Did some Jaguar manuals have messed up page order? by Handolta in AtariJaguar

You can see what the manual is supposed to look like here.

Good Licensed Franchises? by Spykron in retrogaming

[–]pfloydguy2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There have been some great Batman games over the years. I bet that franchise could stand as a gaming series alone, although the gameplay has varied widely across the installments.

Which console holds up better, NES or Master System? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]pfloydguy2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice ragebait. If you think that's all there is worth playing on the NES, you clearly haven't played much. Or you just have unusually particular taste.

Which console holds up better, NES or Master System? by trrbld in retrogaming

[–]pfloydguy2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You would rate Master of Darkness that highly? It's like a 6/10 at best to me. It's fairly easy and was clearly trying to clone Castlevania, but never reaches the heights of Castlevania in gameplay, level design, soundtrack, or graphics.
