Your college experience - rushing about and missing the scenery - is something I explicitly tried to avoid when I went to school. The campus was an open world of my own, hell, it was the most expensive open world imaginable. I’d go to every floor of each new building I had classes in and see if I could find anything…

It’s a good game and a good call by the legend Shulk. Thx for the thoughtful reply.

I’m happy to half-complete a game and come back to it many years later. That’s how I finally finished Pikmin 3 this year (right before the remake was announced!) and loved it. I did similarly this year for Mario Galaxy, too.

Wait did Gurren Lagann ever get a game?

Have you played Xenoblade (1)? Curious if that would be considered world or cosmic by the end.

It’s Kirby right?

This comment is just like a video Game

Thanks for this John, really excited about a few of these and had actually never heard of any of them. Good job but also bad job, right?

Maybe, but how was I supposed to know? As soon as, like, 12 year old me realized that relaxedly pressing down the button meant I wouldn’t go full speed I started ruining my thumbs. Didn’t like that implementation at all.

Aw dude I hated the button usage in Gran Turismo. My fingers hurt so bad jamming that thing down!

I enjoyed blaseball but they kept adding stuff and it kept getting harder to keep up.

Buddy it got taken off two digital storefronts in a literally unprecedented move. How do people still think their own personal good experience is a metric worth judging by?

I’m so thrilled you said Abzu, which is one of the few games I’ve gotten my little sister invested. “Can anything hurt you” is her #1 question for games, and while late-game Abzu technically can hurt the character you’re never in danger of dying. That’s a big relief for her (and friends) and it’s the only game she’s…

His reasoning is shitty but his math seems fine to me. You can basically do it yourself - 350M * 600 = 210B. Obviously it’s going to less than 350M people but 147B seems pretty close to me?

A Playstation and MLB Triple Play 2002. Changed everything for six year-old me. Shoutout to those ridiculous character models with giant heads and Nomar Garciappara’s unskippable, five-second batting glove fidgeting animation after every pitch!

“[Thing in KH that makes zero sense] makes sense once you play it” is the #1 quote for internet KH fans. It’s also not true. None of that shit makes sense.

This take melted my eyeballs

Godfall sounds like a fake game that a sitcom character plays in an episode where they get addicted to online gaming. It sucks so bad. Easily the AAA champ but for Immortals Fenyx Rising, which is bad in every way you can imagine. Three words that fit together terribly, are hard to parse, and don’t make a lick of…

Strong from Penny Arcade this week, and really strong all around. At least Cyberpunk was good for *content*.

or I run out of Pokemon.
