I also missed it, and finally borrowed it from a friend... And it’s almost unplayable with the sheer number of cutscenes and tutorials. You can see so much potential in it, and a lot of gameplay mechanics that were clear stepping stones to Breath of the Wild. But it’s the only 3D Zelda that was too tedious for me to…

Yeah, she was fantastic in HL2 and a very memorable human-feeling character in Episode 2. Just something about the type of interactions in the format of Episode 1

Episode 1 is not very good. One thing in it that really rubbed me the wrong way is that Alyx is constantly praising every little thing you do, even though she was just right there with you for most of the crazy shit in HL2. It felt weird and fanservicey.

I don’t believe so. RCT2 has spooky-themed decorative items including a giant skeleton with a top hat, so I think the name Mr Bones was arrived at independently just based on the image of a skeleton with a top hat. Previous memes about the RCT2 story never mentioned this game afaik.

I’m not quite as sure... If a speedrunner lived in an area where temperatures naturally exceeded 122°F, which does happen naturally in parts of the world (especially if the console was in a window in direct sun), they would have a better chance of making this glitch happen. Similarly with the ice packs, if I am gaming…

Just a heads up, your article says the new Imperial ship is called “The Defender,” but it is actually the “TIE Defender.” The ship first debuted in the original ‘94 TIE Fighter game, it’s great to see it back!

Huh, I heard everyone raving about the graphics, but that cape’s cloth sim seems pretty simple and it clips through the shield a lot. I thought from the tweet that that was footage of the original and they were going to compare the location with the remake after. :/

It can be dumb in live action too. Although only live action can have the opposite issue- Buffy was originally filmed in widescreen with the knowledge that they would be cropping the sides of the frame for 4:3. For the “remaster,” they didn’t care and released widescreen footage for shots that didn’t have visual…

Think this guy will show up in the game?

“Who is this for?” Minecraft is literally the best selling game of all time. It’s fine that you are less familiar with it, but there’s no way that people aren’t excited by the inclusion of content from the best selling game in history.

I kind of disagree with this. While the plot’s focus was the stealth adventure, for me one of the most exciting parts was getting those hovercraft upgrades that unlocked a whole new portion of the hub world, competing in races and minigames in the city, finding looters and unlocking pearls and upgrades in this weird…

Have you seen the Game Grumps animated showing their response to this opening scene? They also definitely made the Saving Private Ryan connection.

Disney’s Dinosaur for the Game Boy Color. Beforehand, I thought that no game with dinosaurs in it could possibly be bad, and the only other GBC games I had played were Pokémon, Donkey Kong Country, and Link’s Awakening DX, so I knew GBC games were great! .....

Agreed- I really like people speaking calmly, softly, rhythmically, etc., and do get asmr from it. But people whispering while you hear the saliva in their mouth, super gross and off-putting.

It is not marketed as a remaster, it is just a straight port to Switch with widescreen support. They never use the word remaster.

One great nod in that trailer: the pilot reroutes power from the lasers and shields to the engines, using the same color coded blue/red/green bars from the ‘90s X-Wing and TIE-fighter games.

Apparently it was entirely related to changing tax incentives and not related to the Sonic movie.

Ah, but there was a woman with dyed hair who criticized a male hero in it, so you know it was made by SJWs. (being sarcastic but only kind of, you know that set people off)

This looks like the controller a First Order stormtrooper would use.

If we’re going for best of the decade, I think the original BotW trailer was much stronger and generated much more hype than the sequel trailer.
