I fuckin love arcade sound design

amazon quit torturing me

yeah, I agree with this. I'm not a "sharp pixels" person but I do hate the smeared 360-era look. There is a bit of a smear going on in large blocks of color but it almost gives off a bit of a PC-98 look. Really does strike a good balance

I don't associate SQEX with this level of reverance. I associate them with Dragon Quest remasters that fast-forward the Epic Journey and term that a value-add

So this guy was pretty much wrong about everything.
Argath aka Algus yells "Animals have no God!!" like a jerk. The original translation of Final Fantasy Tactics is notoriously rough, but I always liked how blunt this line was.

loathe as I am to ever admit it, Miyamoto is correct that a mario game should shut the fuck up at all times

Mario Galaxy 1: miserable. Mario Galaxy 2: immediately joyous

I booted up Mario Galaxy 2 yesterday and within 45 seconds was laughing and smiling and having a great time and feeling good about life

it's dark souls but poorly done

shockingly I believe there are four "rounds" of new documents, one for every non-gag ending

the game also tells you which cutscenes you're viewing are new, encouraging you to skip material you've seen
ohpoorpup.bsky.social
given the history that led to it, it is *far* better than it has any right to be, and considering its developer (NeoBards) has never shipped a fully original title(!) it is quite a profound accomplishment

I'm not sure what "really bad in the hand (in uninteresting ways that do not compare faithfully to its forebears) + the best writing I've seen in years" adds up to. Shadow Labyrinth remains my goty thus far but I guess necessarily Silent Hill f is going to wind up in there somewhere
ohpoorpup.bsky.social
I would never under any circumstances recommend watching a video *game* on youtube and as such I would recommend Silent Hill f to anyone who enjoys "best the medium has to offer" writing. I do not think it has much of the rough, shaggy Punk Rock energy of the first four, to its extreme detriment
