I did finally beat Tyson. In like 2002. Got the game for Christmas in 88 or thereabouts, but, obviously, wasn’t playing it solidly (or at all) for 14 years.

I love shit like this

As it wins at everything.

Honorable mention to Mass Effect. It’s just a credit roll, but, damn, that song.

In China, Pokemon is known as “Magical Creatures.”

Silly?

Myst

Doubt was the problem there.

That was actually alpha protocol’s system (later used in TT’s TWD and, loosely, in LA Noire), though it worked way, way better in Deus Ex. Or maybe the lead character in AP looked and sounded like such an asshole that it just felt like it didn’t work as well.

He perked up right away and asked them if they would rather see Star Wars. They said no, and the father seemed to deflate completely.

I’m curious as to why Anime titles often don’t get translated into English for articles like this. I don’t know what a “yo kai” is, but I do know that nobody refers to Sergio Leone’s “A Fistful of Dollars” as “Per un Pugno di Dollari” outside of Italy.

Let’s see, one strong attack button + one weak attack button, click in + flick change focus targeting system, samey parry mechanic with similar timing, stamina bar that fills slower or faster depending on how robust the player’s armor is, dodge mechanic with invincibility frame numbers dictated by skill allocation…

Wait, you can grow bread in the Witcher 3?

Gameplay’s sort of a...I don’t want to say poor man’s Dark Souls 2, but...uh...a not quite as good, easier Dark Souls 2 mixed with a friendlier take on elements of LA Noire.

Man, I didn’t even realize Invisible Inc was out yet.

I think I bought Payday 2 for like a dollar of something. Must have been a sale.

“poorly executed”

Yeah, it’s really not a very good game, fellow Shiny. Interactive novels are barely games to begin with, but, insofar as they are, they live and die with the writing—not the subject matter of the writing (the subject matter, when DQ is praised for anything, is what DQ is praised for)—and the writing in Depression…

I might actually watch that, haha

It’s ‘enjoyable enough’ in the same sense the first Resident Evil movie was.
