Okay I AM going to PAX East this year, but I'm not going to be as available as I usually am!

We don't have a booth on the show floor but we are running the ARCADE

Armored Core 2- The first PS2 game I played and the one I spent the most hours into. Arena is A+

Symphony of the Night- The most important Castlevania, IMO. It's not Classicvania, but it did something different and it made Dracula interesting.

Blaster Master- The best NES game, IMO.

Metal Gear Solid- The first game that really locked in this idea for me that a game should be designed to take a while the first time through but really really quick each playthrough after.

Soul Reaver- My favorite gloomy unfinished exploration game with a wealth of cut content

TO BREAK THIS DOWN:

FFX- The first Final Fantasy that felt like a concise journey to me, and I love the sphere grid.

Mega Man 2- Mega Man in its purest form, IMO

Banjo Kazooie- The best collectathon, full stop.

Chrono Trigger- The game Square Enix could never make again, and it's the best game.

*Hears a new Rob Zombie song on the radio, but has no clue the name of the song*

"This is pretty good! I know it's a long shot, but I'll put in these lyrics he keeps repeating into google and see if I can figure out the name of the song"

"...oh"

Genuinely I feel like publishers making this their only go-to for promoting their titles are doing a massive disservice.

I say this as someone who makes games that are meant to remind you of other games, lol but most of the time I'm taking the piss, and I don't sell my games as a comparison.

"If you love [other game] you'll LOVE this game!"

"This game is like a new [other game]!"

"Check out our [oth][ther][ga][me]troid!"

None of these say anything about the merits of the game you're pitching *at all*

I really wish the marketing from some accounts I follow didn't involve almost exclusively pitching their games with other game name drops instead of the merits of the game they're showing.

I get that for some people that's the only way the neurons in their brains will fire, but it feels cheap.
