Behold how this work of art inspires poetic musings from even the denizens of youtube
Dunkey was always, and is, one of the classiest mother-fuckers in this mother-fucker!

Now that they've managed to get new animations into the game along with new models, it's only a matter of time before MvC3 becomes the new MUGEN.
Becomes? It is the new Mugen as far as I'm and many others are concerned.

Last racer I recall feeling a sense of speed was probably Burnout: Paradise, but then again I haven’t played many other arcade racers since.

Play Wipeout Omega Collection, Redout 2, Fast RMX, and Cruisin' (I forgot, do you have a Switch?) right now! You'll get a big sense of speed from any of those!

Kentaro Miura may have passed, but his legacy lives on to torment future generations through the minds of those that were inspired by his mind filled with darkness and light.

@hanselthecaretaker2, @Dalisclock, & @FakeSympathy....you are not going to like this.

Lol joke’s on them as I still have my Legacy Collection in mint condition and a working PS3!

But seriously screw Konami yet again. If this is how they’re starting their foray back into proper gaming then I don’t have much hope for anything from them, including the new Silent Hill games.

I didn't have much faith in the new Silent Hill games either. The only reason why I'm as excited for the new Contra remake, is because Way Forward is the one developing it this time. They made Contra 4, and that's my favorite game in the entire franchise. They are the only ones I literally trust with this.

What sucks even further is that the Ninja Turtles collection from last year is beautiful. It was Digital Eclipse of course, but some Konami ex employees help with a collection. That was a compilation pack done with so much detail, love and care, and just for something for new and old fans to enjoy in general.

That's usually how it goes. Too many modern multiplayer games overcharge, rely on fomo, and have a fix it later mentality. I was never that enamored to most multiplayer games to begin with. There are certain exceptions, that was mainly before the HD era. What's also not helping matters is that the older you get, the less you're going to have time to play and enjoy these games. Even younger people aren't going to play all these multiplayer games at once. Another problem is that for too long you had gamers around our ages, those older than us, and those younger than us that accepted and didn't see what the big deal was until they're the ones spending the money or get screwed over. Sometimes even that's not enough; especially those that are aware of it, but still do it anyway or suffer from addictive tendencies.

Even if I WAS a kid again, I can't see me keeping up with all these multiplayer games. Just too much work to stay sharp with each, AND keep up with people that play it, AND any kind of monetization that comes with it.

Figured as much. I mean it's fucking Konami who's been screwing over not just the MGS community but also the Contra community with that god-awful game in 2019. Now I'm really worried about all the upcoming silent hill games.
I also really hate the FOMO marketing strategies; They are all like "Guys, check out this new skin, new map, new weapon, new hero we're adding this season! Buy the battle pass and get access to all of them!" Why are they so in-your-face about it? Not to mention these promotion usually are accompanied with some of the most obnoxious soundtracks ever heard.

Let's also not forget multiplayer games are the cesspools of toxicity. I can sort-of understand on the competitive/ranked side, but casual modes seems to attract all matters of ragers, trolls, cheaters, whiners, feeders, toxic crowd of people. I sort of blame the esports on this one; The amazing team-work and knowhow shown in these professional matches has created an unrealistic expectations, resulting in toxicity.

I might've enjoyed Overwatch more had it not been for the competitive mode being added by force. In fact, I think that was the exact moment when I felt I was drifting apart from the game. Everyone kept screaming if this game was gonna turn into esports, and I think Acti-Blizz pressured Jeff Kaplan and others to do so. It resulted in years of people complaining about the balances, Jeff leaving the team, OWL eventually getting shut down, and OW "2" becoming absolute trash.

The absolute worst part is, despite all the toxicity, despite the fix-it-later mentalities from live-service models, and despite the publishers not giving a rat's ass about the oversaturated market and screwing over the player base, it still makes a ton of buck. There will always be white-knights who will defend their precious multiplayer game to death and spend a good chunk of money on it.
