I remember always seeing the box of Shadow Man on the shelf of Video Update when I was a young child looking for a game to rent and being disturbed by it. I would always try not to look at it, but it was hard because it was right on the corner. I watched SGF play the remaster a couple years...

I hope you'll play Seikiro someday. It had my favorite combat system out of any of the Soulsborne games I've played.

Obviously all my opinions are sparkling gems of brilliance and anyone who can't recognize that is the one deficient in intelligence. Hundreds of hours for FF7? It's not that long of a game, even my first playthrough when I was 13 took me less than 70. My playthrough last year was only 36 hours...

"The genetic impoverishment of distant generations through lack of radiation is something most people are simply incapable of worrying about"

Answers are disappointingly closer than I expected. I look at those and think they must be from some sort of indie horror game. Actually they are from FIFA International Soccer by EA Sports for the Sega CD.

I have a little game I want to play. Can anyone tell me what type of games these loading screens are from?

Campanella 2 - This game was maliciously designed. Like Campanella you have to fly an unwieldy and sluggish space ship through many narrow corridors, which the merest graze will cause you to take damage, and fight fast moving and projectile shooting enemies with a minuscule melee attack. Unlike...

I'll admit there were a few touching moments to the story, but the gameplay on the whole was just uninteresting busywork that even became redundant toward the end of the game. I had so much food and materials by the end that it was just a matter of waiting for enough time to pass for people to...

I have a feeling I will never replay Spiritfarer because it was grindy and not very good.

On the other hand, there's a certain satisfaction in figuring something out for yourself that you don't get from being told how to do something. Every time I look something up there's a little empty bit of disappointment that now I've robbed myself of the chance to figure it out on my own.

Block Koala - A block pushing puzzle game. Honestly, not much to say about it. It's a perfectly competent puzzle game. Not crushingly difficult, not overwhelmingly easy. Varies mechanics enough over its 50 levels to keep the puzzles fresh. Nice QoL features like being able to undo moves and...

And yet, Jak and Daxter was the superior game.

I finished Catch-22. This is probably the most unhinged novel I've ever read. It's dark absurdist comedy, not told in strictly chronological order, and I actually liked it a lot. The tone swings wildly between serious and absurd so quickly you are constantly kept off-balance. You might read...

"I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong."

Sure it was bait, bringing up Brawlman's name after he said he was going to ignore you was definitely baiting him back into the discussion, though if he did actually have you on ignore like he claims your posts should not even appear to him. I don't think there was anything wrong with your...
