@AdamNovice I am huge into arthouse movies that have a similar vibe and pacing. Daft Punks's Electroma, Satantango, Stalker, Gerry, Elephant, Fonotune, The Brown Bunny etc.
And I would have never thought that somebody has the balls to do something like this in an AAA level game. This game should not exist and yet, it does. And I love it for that.
When the camera zoomed way out and the music started I got tears in my eyes and thought "I was not aware games are doing that"
I am old. In my days it was normal that a product is available for people to buy.
If something was sold out, it meant that the company doing it messed something up.
Now it's the other way around? Strange world. No wonder the young generation has no motivation to do anything anymore, if you are considered a failure, if you are not breaking records or producing something that is not sold out immediately.
I like that. The game is kind of an indie-movie. It's important that it exists, it makes a lot of people happy. But everybody can be really happy if they are not losing money in the end.
So what this publisher die is a really amazing move and I hope it will be appreciated by the community and press in the long run.
@FinneasGH I actually think the big crash & burn earned the title a lot of sympathy. And if it will return, there will be a (new) community there that want's to support it.
I think they made it for the NES first (there is a working cartridge available I think) and that might explain the mentioned shortcomings.
The HD graphics where marketed only as an extra in the very first announcement video.
(Which also explains the 4:3)
Wow 7,5k for THAT song (and without release/time constraint) would be generous and involved a lot of good will from the band to support an indie movie/game.
But GTA 6 … as much as I like to have the song there. I side with the band. That is an insult.

Re: As Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Turns 25, the Birdman All But Confirms There's More to Come
@nessisonett all they have to do to satisfy me is adding more stages and music. Maybe a tiny update on the graphics, but it's no must.
Expanding on what is already there. Because that was dope and perfect.

Never cared about Kojima until DS. Now I am obsessed.

Love that dude and love the series.
My whole taste in music is based on THPS and Jackass
Re: Forgiving Gamers Are Contributing to The Day Before Devs’ New Kickstarter
@DennisReynolds I am not informed enough about this specific case. So I should not have commented I guess.
My opinion was more in general.
Re: Forgiving Gamers Are Contributing to The Day Before Devs’ New Kickstarter
A lot if ***** can go wrong doing a big project. It's fair to give them the go to finish their work.

Re: Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake Looks Absolutely Stunning in Latest Gameplay Trailer
Wasn't Toriyama at his peak during the SNES era? "Late" would be like the Sandland game.

Argh that would look awesome if it would be a real game.

They talk candid about it and change stuff. Both are good things.

Re: Fresh Marathon Details Cover Heroes, Pricing, and Bungie's Silence
I hate the trend of stuff getting criticisms by not releasing asap.
We all know what happens if stuff get released too soon.
Same with the Stardew Valley guy. Just let people work on their stuff without adding even more pressure.
Re: Mini Review: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP (PS5) - A Sweet Return with a Bittersweet Bite
The soundtrack thing is just too much of an issue imo
It would be way worse to have a Tony Hawk game without the music. But LC also did rely a lot on the vibe the music brings.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5, PC Remaster Is Very Much the Real Deal
I will play it because I never (really) spend time withe the original.
But having a full price remaster on a (still) new game is ridiculous imo.
Re: PS5, PS4's Long Awaited Skate Reboot Will Launch in Early Access Next Year
@nessisonett everything you just wrote gave me an existential crisis
Re: PS5, PS4's Long Awaited Skate Reboot Will Launch in Early Access Next Year
@McTwist now that you mention it … yeah! Where is the grit?
Thankfully for everything that puts pressure on Activision to get THPS 3+4 rolling though.
Re: UFO 50 Not Launching on PS5 This Week Is Bumming Us Out
Oh how cool is that.
Re: Suda 51 Says 'Everyone Cares Too Much About Metacritic Scores'
Same with movies. Harmony Korine movies are always around a 5 on IMDB.
It's a badge of honor. But sadly only for the people who already know what they are looking at.

Re: You Can't Buy Concord on PS5, PC Anymore, But You Can Buy the Official Merch
@FinneasGH I actually think the big crash & burn earned the title a lot of sympathy. And if it will return, there will be a (new) community there that want's to support it.

@KyushuTrail honestly it's even a 2/10 or less. The plat is super easy and comes 95% by playing naturally. But you do need to know how baseball works.

@riceNpea I dunno. I wanted to quote Lord of the Rings and edited it three times and everything sounded wrong at some point.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked

They somehow managed to make it look even worse.
Re: Promising Persona-Inspired RPG Demonschool Hit with Hefty Delay

Re: Fill the Advance Wars-Shaped Hole in Your Heart with Warside on PS5, PS4

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024 Announced
MLB is top shelf. I already have the platinum, but I am happy for everyone that is interested in the game but did not pull the trigger so far.
Re: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Is the PS4 Compilation of Your Dreams
Fighting Evolution is widely considered the worst fighter Capcom ever put out. So it is tainting this collection in my opinion.
Getting CvS2 is amazing though.
