@LarryBundyJr Blood 2 and Invisible War are the classic examples.

Can anyone think of any game sequels that were remarkably WORSE than the original? Usually the sequel is the original game perfected, and the third, while good, isn't quite as great as the second.

@AbraxasVGC Except it was introduced in a gen where it could turn electric so it's also Electric Face.

Giving the best electric type move to a non electric type when they have basically nothing was racist

@PlayStaySherwin First Yakuza game I haven't played and don't think I ever will after seeing the abomination of an ending. Wouldn't mind a sequel to Lost Paradise though.

The fact that Komaki is in Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise and not Yakuza Kiwami 3 is still absolutely insane to me

As a leftist, I find a lot of the left insufferable.

@BestNewtype007 In fairness the PS3 controller grip does have a tendency to get slimy over time.

That’s the grip. You peeled the grip off. The grip is supposed to be there

@MrDrCactus @Stealth40k Debut indie boomer shooter no less.

@Stealth40k Holy shit a debut indie game hitting #3 is kinda crazy

@KakarottaLeah Sonic had a choke hold over here, there's a British theme park called Alton Towers that had Sonic mascots and rides for years. No idea if they still do as I haven't been in years but I remember back in the 90s there was an entire section of one ride advertising Sonic Spinball.

funny thing is that the uk house scene inspired sonic cd's soundtrack (probably why the pal version has the jp soundtrack) tt games are a uk company and made 2/3 of sonic's saturn games most of the recent mobile games are made by hardlight which is a british studio

@unrooolie We all struggle with choosing a man sometimes dood, just pick the one you see a future with.

One of the most difficult things about invincible versus. Is choosing a man every character is so fun.

@VideoGabesBU As someone who despises fighting NRS style zoners I'd contest the first point honestly.

Injustice is a decent fighting game with a god awful story

@They_are_Arthur I don't think I've ever seen this take and I'm scared to meet the people who have it.

I occasionally see people say "there should be no bosses in video games, they are the worst parts." I cut my teeth on Mega Man, y'all are saying nonsense. Bosses are the best parts of plenty of games.

@TrnrRodVGC Had a guy get two crits in a row on me and a Matcha Gatcha burn on my physical attacker right after. I feel your pain.

I'm not gonna say anything.

@PeterMcCormack @RobbieScowlz They're there to protect workers from the worst people AKA you.

@RobbieScowlz Employment rights get exploited by the worst people, ACAS has a 2 year waiting list. Stupid people like you do not understand this.

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

@MoniqueMonsters The house prices in Emmerdale are probably great considering the murder rate.

Most of these British soaps are just like "ooh can't believe she stole my scone recipe" or basic adultery then they'll just thread in shit like this to thin out the cast

@PaulTassi This is how I feel when I accidentally get orange juice with pulp.

Accidentally bought seeded grapes. Why do these even exist. What kind of psychopath eats these

@DCandSonicGuy @ChaiDeluxe They were waaaaaaaay more popular than Nintendo in Latin America due to SEGA devices being much cheaper. Same with SNK vs Capcom back during the fighting game boom.

@ChaiDeluxe Important to remember that the only place where SEGA was more popular than Nintendo was the UK, and that’s primarily thanks to Sonic. Nintendo would punish the UK for YEARS because of this!

We honestly don’t discuss enough how popular Sonic was in the UK, being vastly different from the US and JP Sonic. UK Sonic exists. He is real. And he scares me.

@KaiKai2492 Best example of this was the infamous review for Astral Chain where the reviewer complained there were no rankings and you could mash your way through everything. Rankings were only missing if you played on easy.

It’s crazy anytime someone calls DMC or Ninja Gaiden a button masher because it instantly outs them as someone who doesn’t understand how to play the games. Like why would you just broadcast it to the world with confidence like that

@bornposting There are still people to this day complaining that RE4 exists.

imagining a fan of the first resident evil saying this about resident evil 2

@LarryBundyJr And the DVD of Football or Rugby highlights.

Every single charity shop in the UK has this exact same lineup of DVDs. Its a legal requirement!

@ItsSoPringles @MarshSMT You forgot the tile at the end that transports you to the bottom if you step on it.

@MarshSMT There should of been a super clunky platforming section across the side with no checkpoints of you fall and im being 1000% serious.

looking back its real funny how you get this cool cinematic view coming up to tokyo tower in V and one of the biggest exploration gimmicks is jumping/climbing but you end up fighting a boss at the bottom and walking past it. why do you not climb it why is it pointless

@TheLivvEra @Nostalgia_REBH And CV, if Claire is in it there's a 70% chance it takes place on an island.

@Nostalgia_REBH Like re revelations 2 is set on an island 😭

Did you even play the games ?
