I havent played it yet but it looks really fun and unique regardless of meme status. Not sure if itd be my pick of the year but I like seeing more niche stuff get recognition.

Been going back and playing the nes one and it's still addictive and satisfying. So simple yet so perfect <3

@hardwenzen: I meant more so that even though the game is different enough from the original a lot of the groundwork was already laid, plus unlike with the gamecube remake of the first games I still s...

@hardwenzen: Seems a bit odd to use a remake of 1998 game as a modern example.

@ghosts4ever: I was thinking the last 10 years in general but yeah I'd agree things have been looking up with the games you mentioned and we've gotten good retro inspired fps games like Ion Fury which...

Dont they all have terrible combat mechanics?

I would say yes but I think it depends on how you look at it. Aside from business practices certain genres feel past their prime like from Doom to F.E.A.R. feels like the golden years of the fps genre...

I only played the first one it's one of the most boring fps experiences I've ever had do to really bad level design. I straight up quit during the infamous library, didnt have it in me to power throug...

Also most recent game I've played and was hyped about is Sekiro. I'd say it mostly lives up to the hype. In a lot of ways feels even more fun than Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but I also find myself mor...

@RSM-HQ: Curious if you could elaborate on those problems, not because I disagree but because I almost never see anyone criticize this game unless they dont like the Soulsborne games in general. I li...

@RSM-HQ: I'd say those things are to Dooms advantage tbh. It's how the game is built around those limitations that makes it feel like very raw, straightforward, and easy to jump into fps without feel...

Only played Sekiro. It's a great game but unfortunately it does have unlockable moves and skills. It is focused on breaking enemy posture and finding openings, and is less reliant on leveling up and c...

@jaydan: I dont get this idea that randomness makes the game unfair? If you're skilled and know what you're doing you should be able to react when a curveballs is thrown your way. Maybe I need an exam...

@Pedro: I dont mean to suggest it's not hard, I mean it's nothing out of the ordinary for its genre, several of the games it took inspiration from like Alien Soldier and Contra Hard Corps. Its reputat...

@Pedro: Its not that hard (for its genre) but how does it lack punch in gameplay especially compared to Ori?

Honestly I love System Shock 2 but I have no interest in a sequel.

I'm still surprised people find RE 7 to be scary. Game was a bit too silly. Honestly RE4 is the only RE I've really enjoyed tbh.

@WitIsWisdom: Yeah they're awesome! I wish I owned them as a kid but I actually got into them really late. It's a shame because they've really become some of my favorite games, just always fun and cha...

@WitIsWisdom: Lol I love all those games but damn I'm nowhere near that good. Contra III in particular kicks my ass especially once I make it to that wall robot boss.

@i_p_daily: Does he normally shill MGS or are you just going at him for praising the game too much? Also Doom is fantastic. Personally I really wanted to like Streets of rage 2 but I dont get the prai...
