1/30/2024 0 Comments Game grump sonic mania sucks![]() Those games all feel extraordinarily empty to me no matter how much surface detail is put into them, and as both action games and (increasingly) sim/RPGs they pretty uniformly plateau into unbalanced samey experiences with a succession of different wallpapers after about half a dozen hours each.ĭamn, Brandon’s Switch sounds fucked up - I’ve never had that kind of input problem with mine, and I play games regularly with my friend who’s a fighting game freak (so I would definitely trust him to notice laggy inputs). It’s such a cool idea.Īlso I have yet to play RDR2 but I think I’ve soured on the Rockstar formula in general. That sounds like a dream multiple different people had in the late 90s: obviously there’s the Majora’s Mask comparison, but also I think the original premise from Chrono Cross was that it would have just one village where every single NPC (even the dog) was a recruitable party member, and you can still see traces of that in the finished game in the ways its relatively small-scale geographical setting feels interconnected by a complex web of NPC relationships and histories. Really interesting to hear about Warren Spector’s “one-block RPG” premise though. Someday I’m sure I will try a Yakuza (I even bought Zero after the last time IC showered it with praise… and then never opened it) but every time I contemplate it for even a second my brain decides I’d rather play something else instead. Maybe something about the aesthetic? The goofiness of it? The setting? The fact that I haven’t actually been to Tokyo? The fact that the games leverage the largest sex trafficking organization in Japan into a bunch of adorable memes? I really can’t explain it. Listening around now: I’ve heard so many people with taste I respect recommend Yakuza games SO exhaustively, and yet to this day there’s something about the series that just never makes me want to pop one of the games in and try it. ![]() Subscribe: RSS, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and more!
