VF2 for Genesis is surprisingly good. Graphics are fine, and the controls do a great job of tricking you into thinking you're playing the real game.

Before I got a PS1, Wing Commander on SNES was the only "in the cockpit" space sim I could play at home. I put in the invicibility code and played through the whole campaign. It was epic. I still cant believe how well they pulled it off on the SNES. It was probably 5 fps, but I didnt know that then.

Shhhh, Nostalgic Law clearly states you’re not allowed criticize old games like this, and you must, YOU MUST state “We didn’t play this game for the gameplay, we played it for the story”. This is your first and only warning, another infraction will result in you being erased from the internet, and all of your games…

There’s a LOT of games that are hard to play. I tried to go back to Wing Commander III a few years ago and DAAAAAAAAAMN. I have no idea how I played it the first time.

I’m right there with you on this - everything you said. I think it’s critical for parents to be open with their children about sex (from using correct terms like “penis and vagina” when they’re little to offering safe contraception and support when they’re ready to be active). I say that as the daughter of a woman who…

of course they aren’t. They weren’t shocked back then either. it was just a nice political tool.

Back to Xbox and PlayStation Store we go.

And some wonder why some don’t want Steam as their game store.

Please share your knowledge of how to make proper italian sausage. I want recipe! 

My sister in law has that cilantro = soap thing too. It’s a genetic difference, nothing you can do about it. For some, it’s soapy and revolting. For others, it’s refreshing and delicious.

The game definitely had the potential to be an amazing Far Cry-but-awesome-plot game-changer, and fell terribly short of it. Still a decent game, but it pulled its punches at every turn and ended up disappointing in a big way.

And flag ... hugging? All kinds of wtf there.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! The eagle knows the deal.

When he declares himself Supreme Leader, the regime’s gonna need a flag.

I blame Itagaki for that. He always seemed like a guy who would think it was cool to spend hours in a peep booth.

The thing that has become very clear thanks to EVO Japans’ “Incident” is that the developers are exactly as pervy as we assumed they are. Making sexy characters is fine in the right environment. Stopping a fighting game tournament to sit on stage with models and point out to thousands of people, how when you pause the…

Its only made worse by the DoA Xtreme series. The first one was a silly volleyball spin-off but it's turned into straight porn

Yep. Maybe I grew out of being a “challenge gamer” (if I ever was one), but boss fights don’t give me that WooHoo! Beat it! feeling, just a sense of ‘thank god, that’s over, now I can get back to the rest of the game’.

Well I always felt the same way except last summer I beat Bloodborne and nor finally tackling DS remastered. And I have quit games that most people do not find that hard.
