They even pulled off the “not revealing what game this actually belongs to” stunt that PT pulled. The demo (a much earlier build of it, VR only) was originally shown at E3 2015 under the name KITCHEN.
So my theory, for those of you that have played the demo, is that this home is of a family whose daughter became a zombie. So the dad has her…[Read more]

Cool beans, all.
We’ve got a good little community here and you’re all going to fondly look back on it like a dad reminiscing about the days when his daughter was a good innocent little baby girl. “Remember when it was just seven of us,” you’ll ask, and all the new guys will respond with, “look gramps, this thread is about Mighty No. 9 VII and…[Read more]

I guess I’ll explain it here. Keep in mind, that saying this is my favorite game of all time doesn’t mean I think it’s the greatest game of all time. Those are two different things. And in explaining why this game is my favorite I’ll need to toss you into my mindset.

If Destiny doesn’t count, I don’t know what game I’m supposed to mention then. Lots of people love strategy games like Civilization and racing sims like Forza or Gran Turismo, and those games I don’t like myself, but I know they’re great games. I don’t actively hate them, they’re just not for me so I don’t personally want to play them. This limits…[Read more]

Ah man, I was having real trouble thinking of one. For the most part, even games I don’t enjoy I can still understand why others would love them so it makes it hard for me to hate them. I had to google this subject to see if any results could get my brain juices flowing and thankfully, it did.
Destiny. That game is a vile scheme. On a scale of…[Read more]

elheber replied to the topic Eiji Aonuma Apparently Proving Me Right in the forum Shooting the Shit 8 years, 4 months ago
Nah, I didn’t read too much into “one solitary encounter.” Firstly, the examples he gave were two; the same as the first two I gave. Then I went on in my article with 3 more examples and then mentioned I saw many more during the live stream that I didn’t go over because they’re too many. There’s an encounter with explosive barrels up a hill (…[Read more]

So a few days ago I posted an op-ed here about Eiji Aonuma not understanding modern game design, particularly emergent gameplay. In it I specifically cited the beehive and boulder encounter as examples that he doesn’t understand what emergent gameplay is.
Just yesterday, Edge Magazine posted an interview with Aonuma in which uses those same two…[Read more]

Very nice article. It's amazing how Nintendo is reaping all the benefits even though they didn't develop the game (that was Niantic) nor even publish the game (that was the Pokemon Co.). Hell, Nintendo […]

There’s a setting to disable the bell. I disabled it via the settings. I think it’s called “Show Desktop Notifications.”

Oh man, I don’t really play bad games anymore; not since I was old enough to know the difference. I grew up a poor gamer so I tried to spend my money wisely. If I were to name a game, it’d be from the NES/SNES days I guess.
OH wait, I remember one! Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory but not the Xbox/PC one… no that game is great… I mean the shitty G…[Read more]

Heading off to work in a moment but I have a quick question. Is this only us naming bad games or are we taking turns making each other play them?

Soon enough I’ll click on more titillating links (no pr0n of course). There are mysterious ones out there. Once I found one of a big booty Olympian, and some minor detective work brought me to the fact the succulent butt was photoshopped. A “racy” prom dress was actually a normal prom dress edited with more cleavage. And an unbelievably hot pro…[Read more]

I never did beat Chrono Trigger. I feel like if I had been a little older when I first played it, I may have liked it a lot more. I think it might’ve been my first JRPG ever, so the active time battle thing wasn’t as great a sell. And the story got 2deep for my frail little mind.
BTW, I have to give special mention to Half-Life. Since it’s on the…[Read more]
