This is the only PSO I respect

It's emulator so that's already a barrier to entry but 4U is a lot better starting point even just from the angle that there is a relatively normal campaign and no styles/arts instead of GU shitfest

Doom to me is the ultimate jack-of-all-trades game, an impossible combination of rock-solid fundamentals, extreme versatility, and unique strengths all its own. Dean of Doom prompted me to appreciate it on that deeper level, both from the gameplay and artistic lenses. A flower growing on rich soil

Yeah it's kinda sad that it might be the last big id game. Everything about it just boils my blood bc it represents the things I resent about gaming culture, which activates me in a way that I very rarely feel anymore lol

Can I put a vote in to lower or remove DDA lol. 64 is cool, I didnt get very far in but the atmosphere is neat

Best of luck, the advice I see creatives repeat over and over is just do stuff and practice. I am trying to do the same fwiw (at my own personal slow pace)

IDK if "good" is the word I would use but I did enjoy it a lot at the time and it far exceeded my expectations because Samus Returns is abysmal

Something that always strikes me about these interviews is the emphasis on "bringing to market" type framings. Which I get that you have to be practical but I can't help but see it as 1. largely a privilege of the time 2. a void in values which congealed the artistry on avg over the years

I get why this happened but it's really weird to read these old Miyamoto interviews where he has a fairly astute grasp of the deep artistic issues, and then see where Nintendo is now (and some of his more recent ones lol).

Yeah most modern sequels are not really on the same page as the originals (TBH even a lot of contemporaneous sequels to old games aren't). I find it very hard to care about modern studio anything

I appreciate the scene and that people are living their lives but NGL I see red anytime people are playing music in the woods/water

👍

Great game and dev

Yup lol, I still like things about the series in general but it's hard to really take it seriously at this point compared to something like Rain World which has real artistic cohesion and integrity. I bought Wilds 6ish months ago and played about two hours total 💀

I think there's still a certain desire for it but my thing is that it's done in a very clumsy adhoc way instead of trying for a holistic vision. The original few games (tho themselves tainted by MMOisms) were doing that but atp Capcom doesn't have the wherewithal nor know-how for that approach

Surely they're just a big Goethe fan (?)

Not 3

Something about Pac-Land makes it look like a fake game to me
