Considering the game’s other predictions, I wouldn’t put it past them XD

Also, before i forget to share, THIS MOMENT actually gave me chills down my spine.

(Major story spoilers!)

I knew about them, i tried 1 and… well, it’s a little too far back for me. I don’t care for too many NES era games, apart from a few JRPGs

Boldly diving into the series for the first time! I needed something different, and I figured “Fuck it, Metal Gear time. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. Snake was one of my mains in Smash.” lol
Anyway, obviously i’ve heard PLENTY about the series, but thankfully in casual conversation, most people dont talk about story details, so im pretty blank on twists and turns.

Enjoy! :)

(EA logo voice guy) M G S, It’s in the genes

Sadly no, too many damn lists, “top 10 details in gaming”, and other such things like that to avoid the spoilers lol. But, i sat back and enjoyed the game as not only a “game” but a little piece of gaming history and DAMN, MGS is very ahead of it’s time in style, meta references, and presentation. I couldn’t stop a big dumb grin spreading on my face when

(Mantis fight spoilers) I even loved the little deathtraps in the game, trap doors in the floor, bullshit little gun turrets hidden around corners… but my dumb ass likes Fatal Labyrinth on the Genesis, so do with that as you will XD

It’s really amazing that NN:EE (Love that acronym BTW) is still getting worked on. I love seeing what comes out of a passionate community/developer

SO IT WASN’T JUST MY DUMBASS. Thank you, you have no idea how much better that makes me feel XD

Funnily enough, I figured it out really fast, like I GET IT, it was a very strange and wonky mechanic to suddenly hit players with, but i was immediately wiggling around the moment I got on it, trying to figure out what they wanted and noticed that I was bouncing a little more when I moved up and down. So kind of… like pure chance I got out alive lol

Slightly unfair to say, though. Hogwarts Legacy got a multiplatform release. TOTK only released on Switch.

Counter-point for fairness, It’s impressive that TOTK got that many sales on it’s own while being stuck on one platform!

Either way, 2023 was a good year for gaming. Lots of fun stuff got released and I hope we can keep this trend going.

Damn, you accidentally did a challenge run!

Yeah… I already wasn’t a fan of where the series was going story and gameplay-wise, now I’m just gonna have to call it here. I think im gonna be taking a looooong break from Like a Dragon/Yakuza. I’m not gonna back this shitty behavior with my money. Even If this turns out to be a fun game, they’re saying “Oh, the STORY is 100 hours by itself!” No way in HELL that is all forward progress and gripping tales. These games have fluff and filler in their normal ~20 hour stories. I’d just end up losing track of things and burning out well before any the end of the game.

This is awful, I love it

Huh, didn’t realize we already made it to the era of SHODAN

Oh they totally don’t lol. I adore their campiness.

JC2 is my baby XD

My main reason is the different biomes of 2. A desert, a massive city, snowy mountains, an island archipelago. I love seeing it all sprawl out in the distance and knowing that it’s all mine to explore and do whatever.

Fast fun :)

I guess the reason I bring this up is because Just Cause feels uniquely, gloriously pointless to me.

I love 'em. Just Cause 3 practically has Gmod in it’s DNA. But at the same time, I’m strangely aware of the loop.
