@ShitpostRock2 Bad example. The US box art is better because it represents the actual game. The PAL box art is just meaningless and irrelevant.

Spent like 2 hours looking at different game covers from different regions, and it’s crazy how the European and Japanese ones are consistently better than the American ones

@JohnnyboySP Controllers HAVE gotten cheaper, though. You can get tons of genuinely good quality controllers for 20-30 bucks, sometimes less. Plus they're way better than the equivalent third party stuff that was available 20 years ago.
English
Controllers used to cost less than full priced games.
Then they were roughly on par with the cost of a game.
Now some systems will sell you a controller for more than the price of a game.
What a time to be alive.

Steam Controller will apparently cost $99, price mentioned in a review that accidentally went up early. Release/orders may be imminent. "Also at 99 dollars, it's not cheap, but it's only 25 dollars more than a PS5 controller." streamable.com/lj7ut3 reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksA…

@allenvonghornet Ironically, he was the least offensive of the NPCs in that game because he at least had functionality (being the tutorial guy, repairing the mech). All the other GF Troopers actually had no reason to exist on top of being stock-character blabbermouths that bogged down the game.

@zhakaron I've heard people describe Daggerfall that way as far back as the 2000's, but a lot of times as a pejorative to say the game was boring lol
English
@CoreyDillo4cmn There were always people who didn't like it. There is no "sudden" hate. There isn't a consensus just because you aren't seeing other stances on a subject. Twitter's algorithm is always leaning towards like-minded posts at a given time. You have to understand that.
English
The real question is why the fuck is there all this hate suddenly for RE4 remake when it came out over 3 years ago? It’s sounds like this Crowbcat just threw this video out to spite e anyone who hurt his feelings the first time he did it. The game is good. I still replay it.
✨The Dark Tyrant✨@TheDarkTyrant96
@PrCat88 I don’t even understand the whole point of “Why doesn’t he make a video on RE3” when like… he probably just cares more about 4 as a game. It’s not a Resident Evil channel, and RE3 has already been talked about a ton. It also DOES come up in the video anyways, same with 2R.

@JumpyFeller Tribes Ascend was such a particularly cathartic game during the height of when the industry was suffocated with slow-as-molasses CoD/Gears clones. Loved the custom-built guns in Blacklight Retribution, too. Great picks.
English
@PlasmaPistolCEO @HubPointless The needler, SAW, and shotgun/scattershot are some of the best guns in the game, though. Very good at deleting elites and knights. The AR-type guns are the only ones that kind of suck in the campaign.
English
@HubPointless It's Halo 4 everything that isn't a power weapon or headshot capable is useless
English
Also the Storm Rifle is utterly useless
PointlessHub@HubPointless
Halo 4 Legendary isn’t even a shooter it’s a scavenging game

Pound for pound, I prefer the remake over the original, too. That said, the original is still a distinct and separate experience that the remake doesn't *replace.* No remake has. It's OK to have feelings on games that aren't affirmed by an authority figure.
English
Even the innocuous notion that the game's director said ANYTHING other than affirming fans idea of the remake was designed to replace the original sparks all this hostility.
English
The replies to this are fascinating. I think over the decades REmake has obtained this status where it's not just widely agreed to be a good remake, it is perceived as *objectively* so. It HAS to be objectively true, for some reason. We can't just personally feel it is so.
Dream's Longest Day@Dreamboum
I tracked down the source people use to say RE1 Remake is the intended vision of RE1 for Mikami and it doesn't really say that. What it says is that he's using the power of the gamecube to remake RE1 because OG RE1 is closer to his original vision of what the franchise should be
English
@JoshStrifeHayes Are you observing a pattern with bot comments or something? Because without context, and assuming the comment is sincere, the hostile response seems unwarranted.
English
@revenant_MMXX All this type of crap is rooted in people having annoying ass giant egos and treating dying in a game like some kind of personal attack against them. Also, the whole mentality that games are just content to see.
English
Video game discourse has fallen so far that we have Yahtzee describing rudely-named difficulty settings as "ableist" and whining about how "patronizing" designers are. He suggests adaptive difficulty as the best solution because "no one has to see it." What if I specifically want the game to be harder, period? Why should difficulty be a self-tuning black box hidden away from the player? This is just another step towards making games into guided amusement park tours. If I'm stuck on a difficult section or boss, I don't want it automatically toned down, I want to get better at the game and beat it.
He even brings up DMC games as an example of being "too patronizing" because it doesn't give you an easy mode unless you die enough times, but you know what? The higher difficulties are locked at the start, too. Some of us would say that's patronizing. Why shouldn't I be able to choose Hard mode right away?
English
@DingusOfTomorow @draculllina Well, you can comfortably beat it in 3 hours or less on your first playthrough. It's pretty brisk and action-heavy. It's worth checking out at least once. It's made with a light gun in mind, and is harder with a controller, but that just makes it a little more intense/scary!
English
@draculllina Is dead aim worth trying out? I’ve been seeing it pop up here more as of late and I’m wondering if it’s any good
English
I feel like all the save themes are roughly equal from Code Veronica to 1R to 4, but Dead Aim's is something else.
Raven@DireRavennn
Nothing beats this masterpiece from the Resident Evil 1 Remake…

@exQUIZitely HeXen II rocks. I love the reverse-engineering kinda puzzle solving, like when you need a lens or something like that and you need to find sand in one area, then finding a way to turn it to glass and then polishing it. Neat game.
English
Any fans of this classic that's closing in on 30 years?
Hexen II (by Raven Software) was published by id Software in 1997. It was based on the Quake engine, and added some cool features such as basic RPG stats to grow more powerful in terms of hit points or mana, increasing with your experience level. You could pick one of four possible classes, each requiring a different style of play: Paladin, Necromancer, Crusader, and Assassin.
Despite reviews being mostly positive, the game couldn't generate enough sales and was deemed a commercial failure, with official sales of only 30,000 units. Among the juggernauts of 90s RTS games, Hexen II simply didn't stand out enough to leave a bigger mark.
I still think it was a good game, had some unique features, and a pretty high replay value due to the four classes you could choose from.
English
3 hours or less. Single session games really are the best.
Video Game History@VideoGameHstry
What is the perfect game length?
English
@revenant_MMXX I think it's more about the idea that the gameplay is the substance and the audiovisuals are the stylization becoming inverted. A continually more dominating force in game design is getting players to see the "content" as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
English
They design games for stupid people now, it's really this simple. Average IQ of "gamers" has definitely declined even in just the past 5 years, forget about 10 or 20
Cal 🏆@SpIinterCaI
The way people talked about the OG Resident Evil 4’s controls made me believe it was completely unplayable. Man, this game feels so bloody good to play. What were you all smoking.

It's seriously wild how things continue to just get worse and worse for Xbox. You keep thinking you've hit the bottom, but nope.

@Sinoc229 how about "ed-2d" like those "enhanced definition" EDTVs from the 2000s which were just 480p i think
English
People are willfully inducing psychological harm on themselves by acting like a bunch of random, isolated internet posts are a "community." A shared space is a community. Twitter is just a sea of posts floating around without order.
