Modern Gaming Sucks!!! Or Does It?

As cheesy as MGS4 often was I personally ate up all nine hours or whatever it was of its cutscenes, especially when there were little things sprinkled in like flashbacks, alternate viewing angles and being able to zoom in and move the camera around during them or play with the Mk II on the ship. Stuff like that is highly appreciated and perhaps only works in a series with a lot of history and an eccentric auteur at the helm, but at the same time you can only get the Big Boss emblem by skipping all that shit.
In short, it’s good to have options.

I may not have a Series X, but I want this game to succeed. Compulsion Games are creating something truly special here. Kick ass South of Midnight.

I already know my laptop can't run that. It's a good laptop, but the power can only do so much. My brother has an Alienware Laptop with Steam and Game Pass. I know he'll pick it up.

Ahh, wonder how it will handle on a steam deck. Seems like the lil deck can handle games that should punch out of its weight pretty well.
My most anticipated game of the year! Granted I've not had a good track record of those, but.... still.
Well I just remember last year was Plucky Squire, which was cute but kind of shallow on the gameplay/puzzle aspect.
I'm not complaining by any means- every year my favorite game is the one that ended up taking me by surprise and that is really part of the fun (Minishoot Adventures, Cocoon)
My biggest surprises in 2024 were Victory Heat Rally and Marvel Superheroes vs. Street Fighter from the MvC Collection. That game is nowhere near as bad as fighting game enthusiasts and the FGC like to really claim. I do see some the flaws, but overall, I actually like it a bit more than X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

Yeah, I've noticed the double standard more than once. MSHvSF may be more balanced by comparison, but there are still a ton of other busted stuff and ruin the balance, it makes most SNK fighting games look more balanced by comparison.
Oh no, SNK bias in the FGC is pretty real. They'd definitely try to persuade people 98 Daimon is more fucked up than the entirety of MagStormSent in MVC2.
Nobody has pretzel motions in 98. Hardest shit is probably HCF/HCBx2 and Wine Glass Motions (aka Orochinagi and Ranbu supers).
And if we're talking damage, that entire team can TOD you off pretty much anything solo/assist hit followed by an infinite or dumbass Sentinel vs Daimon taking 60% of your health off a CH Df.C
Oh, you're talking about KOF '98? I had no idea. I was confused by your wording and terms there.
