I would strongly argue that Zelda and Metroid are part of the same category: they’re both adventure games defined by navigating a nonlinear space that opens up by finding upgrades scattered throughout the world that change gameplay and open “doors” to expand the playable space. If it was up to me, the greater genre…

Referring to this review:

Weird to see an isometric indie getting praise that isn’t THIS IS THE BEST METROIDVANIA OF THE YEAR Y’ALL, tbh

This game also has yet ANOTHER example of wearing Burger King mascot heads to gain magical power, it’s just baffling that folks like such unoriginal games.

As long as my Moonveil Katana lets me be a mage with a sword I’m good.

They’ll just play on an old version and be fine.

Kinja won’t let me edit, so I’ll just say here that I for sure meant Companions instead of Brotherhood. Hence becoming a werewolf and being a straightforward warrior.

If this is how 2022 starts, and by some miracle every game that’s supposed to come out this year actually does (BotW2, Starfield, God of War 2)...yeah, the fifth anniversary of 2017 is looking good. Not to mention Cyberpunk 2077 essentially coming out this year for real, and another new Pokemon (fingers crossed…

No Waluigi commentary is complete without the greatest video of 2019:

Barsanti-level snark tbh, you can do better.

The most fun I’ve had in Skyrim is when committing to playing a role, because joining every faction just makes your character a psychopathic Mary Sue. My favorite playthrough by far was RPing a warrior on a mission to retrieve every Daedric Artifact, joining the Brotherhood and using a sword and shield (Dawnbreaker…

I hope traveling in space happens in real time, meaning it takes weeks to get from planet to planet even with advanced technology, and the ship has a playable copy of Skyrim to help you pass the time.

I definitely think they have a long way to go, but Eternals features a prominent gay character whose entire motivation after losing faith in humanity at large is loving his husband and son and wanting to save the world for them. Its kiss might be easy to edit out, but we focus as much on the domestic life of a…

As somebody smart enough to recognize that FFV is the best FF game, I don’t actually make typos like that. Sorry for any confusion!

That sounds like a nightmare. At least FFV has an easy grinding spot and skills that speed things up, oof.

Genuine question: does that completionism make you grind out every Esper in FF6?

Damn shame. If you’re ever tempted to jump back in, I’d highly suggest modifying your PERFECTLY LEGAL RIPPED GBA FILE with the following:

FFVI is great. FFV is better.

Jimmy Zemus? Any relation to Jerome Zeromus?

I can’t wait until FFV, the best game in the series (fight me), gets a similar treatment featuring Tony Exdeath.
