The problem with MM (and I say this as someone who adores it, and by extension DoTT) is that it kinda screwed you over if you picked a bad set of characters. It’s a very short game if you knew what to do.

But then I guess the fun was playing about with different combinations and puzzles. I can see how it’d put people…

Actually I think they have more chance of making more dolla in the future.

Say you sell it, and then like 3 years later it’s on sale for a tenner and you think, ‘oh, I kinda fancy playing that again!’ and you end up buying it.

It’s happened with me loads the past few years (bought RE: Mercenaries 3DS physical, sold…

Oblivion took me a loooong time to get into. The first time I bought it, I tried it for about an hour half-heartedly and sold it. Then I bought it again a year or so later because people just wouldn’t shut up about it. I gave it a fair chance and got absolutely hooked. This was on 360; when I eventually got a decent…

It’s really not half bad! It sucks not having the classic voice actors in, but the game looks really lovely and the soundtrack is just soooo good. They’re bringing out loads of remastered classics lately. Day of the Tentacle is coming out soon and if you never got to play that I highly recommend it, wonderful…

I agree with you on pretty much every point you’ve made in this thread (which has made for some very long and interesting reading).

I have two personal examples of people I would consider gamers that a lot of people wouldn’t.

My mum wouldn’t consider herself a gamer, but she’s had addictions with certain games in the…

You are most certainly my type of gamer. I put a lot of time and money into the ‘current’ gaming scene but I would much rather discuss how bloody AMAZING Gabriel Knight is with someone like you than with people who just play current AAAs or whatever.

God I’d love for those days to come back. At least these kinds of…

Pass on to your friends that I think they’re insanely talented O.O

Thank you :D It is something I’d really love to mess around with on a small scale. I’ve enjoyed making small stuff like accessories or sword embellishments with sculpey but that stuff is just way too expensive for me right now.

I’ve tried in the past making small weapons and accessories, but it didn’t go well. I would love to try again in the future but for now I’ll stick to making crochet dolls :)

I have, but I struggle. When I have a place of my own maybe I’ll have ‘space’ to do something like this but as it stands it’s just out of my reach.

An actual goddess walks among us.

I’m really into the idea of characters working on their own schedule, and being able to go back in time, whether in-universe or strictly as a gameplay mechanic.

Do you not find booth babes* incredibly cringeworthy and embarrassing?

*and anyone who’s hired for these sorta things who don’t know or aren’t passionate about what’s being displayed.

Depends, if breasts completely defy physics (like in DOA) they make me physically uncomfortable, probably in the same way it makes a dude uncomfortable seeing someone kicked in the nads.

If they just jiggle or squish a bit that’s nothing.

Nah, I’ve played dozens of p n’ c games and I have this issue with some of them too.

I wouldn’t know, because my anime chops are quite depressingly poor. I’ve always wanted to see some of those though, just never get around them.

Not so much the actual animations, but can I mention some of the ‘summon’ fights in FF14?

I second 999 and VLR. 999 might be tricky to get if you live in Europe but I managed to get it on UK amazon for about £20. I really recommend playing them in order.

They’re actually both quite chill on the anime trope stuff, even with the visual style of them. Quite mature and definitely very gripping, with a fantastic…

I completely agree, I was actually complaining about this the other day to someone.

I’M SO HYPED.
