Any republican that tries to make this into something should be required to describe what God’s cock looks like

The difficult part about making top lists for Saturn and Dreamcast is not having the whole list be fighting games

There's other good games too of course but there's just a ton of excellent fighters on those consoles

That is a great cover for sure

Localizers are evil and just insert their fan fiction into games

Hire me big companies, so I can insert MY fan fiction into your games!

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

My new favorite thing to do in any conversation with Mario 2 is interject with "did you know it was originally a Famicom Disk System game called" and then give the wrong game

For example, did you know it was originally a Famicom Disk System game called Akumajou Dracula?"

Just need to feel morally superior to someone so they can get through their day, and if it requires no real effort on their part, all the better

Their issue was that I pirated the game instead of supporting the devs (which was confirmably untrue)

Suspiciously they didn't post any similar comments on the GoldenEye video I posted the day before...

The worst part is the first boss fight of FF6 has a very similar gimmick but they explain it perfectly fine in that game

Trying to compare FF16 to Elden Ring as if they're even remotely the same type of design philosophy

Yeah it's pretty cool they added it later

Confusingly only if you buy a digital copy though, not if you get it physical...

There is the port that comes with digital releases of Rare Replay in Xbox

There's also been a PC decompilation project in the works but it seems to be moving extremely slowly

FF was always fun to me because it deemphasized tedious grinding and cheap deaths from a lot of early RPGs in favor of storytelling and character

Granted you should throw in a tricky fight or two just to keep things interesting but I'm always in it for the storylines more than anything

It was kind of funny that they included a bunch of GoldenEye's classic guns in Perfect Dark... And they were way better than most of the guns in that game

Better accuracy, more ammo efficient, faster reloads and you don't have to duck to hit things more than a few yards away!

Doubt they cared either way. Just need someone to feel superior to and hurl abuse at so they can feel superior to someone without having to actually do anything

I have memories of some lovely dipshit with a Persona avatar accusing me of ruining the games industry because I did a playthrough of Perfect Dark on an emulator that allowed mouse and keyboard controls

Despite owning legit copies on both N64 and Xbox Live and mentioning it multiple times

Should've bought Xenosaga or Shadow Hearts instead. Both much better stuck-on-PS2 franchises

Bad games and preposterous plotting all around

Selling all 4 discs of a 4 disc game separately at full price is scummy as shit too

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

My least favorite mainline Ultima

Like the concept at least but the controls are super janky, huge portions of the plot were cut and it's basically just no fun to experience
