That was my first Metal Gear game! There was a lot of supplemental wiki browsing.

Metal Gear is way more dense and difficult to parse than something like Resident Evil. The ratio of “long dead characters returning with wild revelations relating to previous games, some of which were spin-offs that you didn’t play but are actually very important to the overall plot” is something like 20:1 in terms of…

Don’t forget Metal Gear.  

Those jerks tried to circle him looking all hard, but his vigorous pumping and spraying all over the place got them off as fast as possible.

If you want a good starting point, allow me to suggest The Minish Cap.

Well, shoot. This big long article about nude photos, and not one image or instructional video to illustrate.

Except it already was. It was the game that popularised loot boxes in a major release and was entirely reliant on them... and it was still so good people forget that part of it.

Tenchu 2 was brilliant along with Wrath of Heaven for PS2. There was another one starring Ayame but never played it

Yup. I remember a lot of magazines didn’t allow them to be in print. I think it was PSM of the ones I subscribed to that printed them. Though, if I recall, that game was pretty horny. 

The Fear Effect games were so good. I’m still pissed we never got Fear Effect:Inferno for PS2

Love me some Tenchu. I’m definitely due to give those games more time in the future. I played a lot of 1 and 3 but never 2, yet.

Final Fantasy X-2: It doesn’t take itself seriously and it’s completely self aware of it’s Charlie’s Angels corniness, The battle system is also a highlight.

I like the weird of the world so I’m going to say Katamari Damacy. I don’t understand why I haven’t gotten new, larger, more bat shit insane, sequels with each console generation. Why am I not rolling up the multiverse yet!?

Lighten up, Francis.

hey there, unknowntrope here. big news, this is a double work. it was me and lucy who thought of the whole thang. thanks for the article though, it means a lot. love ya!

I think some genres lend themselves just fine to “a million games like that” because it’s not the gameplay mechanics or the playerbase that powers them—offline shooters, RPGs, historical strategy games, trading sims, whatever, tend to lend themselves to so many varied settings (or, in RPGs’ case, there will never be a…

...and she will regret her decision.

I’ve got two. Mass Effect’s “N7" on my right arm and Zelda lifebar hearts on my left.

I was thinking about that. Considering how many copies of this game are out there, I wonder how well a new DLC would do financially. I know it’s not going to happen but has a game had this long of a shelf life with so little support? Hell, I still mod it up and play it here and there. 

I grew up in the countryside, my best friend lived 3 fields away, we always had games but never the same system. I had a Vic 20, he had an Oric 1. I got a C64, he got spectrum. Eventually we both got commodore Amigas. Our whole lives have had a gaming core, we went to arcades in town and emptied 10ps (uk) into bubble…
