Been seeing a lot of people note how weird it is to see the Xbox logo on the PS5 with games like Gears, Ninja Gaiden 4, and now Halo.

Weird to think that the average internet user wasn’t conscious or aware of Sega when they went 3rd back in 2001.

Man, I tried so many times to play this on the N64, but it never clicked. One of these days I'll get around to it.

My man, glad to know I’m not the only one that has a copy of this. In hindsight I find it so incredibly odd that we got the spiritual successor to Terranigma in the West, but not the SNES game. 😅

My man, I cannot recommend it enough if he shows an interest in it. Playing through Shredder's Revenge as well as TMNT3 and Turtles in Time with son was so impactful is created new core memories for me.

11/10 experience would definitely recommend if the opportunity presents itself.

Familia Crystaloreium @crystalsagamana.bsky.social · 1d

Same here. I played TMNT3 the most with the prequel being a close 2nd. I could never disarm the bombs in the first game as a kid. TBH, TMNT89 wasn't crossed off of my backlog until The Cowabunga Collection released and I finally played the rest of the game. One of those "Oh, it wasn't that hard"😅

To a degree yeah. I was never a fan of Mario Kart until Double Dash. I was a PS1 kid so I was all in on CTR. GCN is what turned me onto Wave Race and F-Zero.

But I was never against trying them, with how rare it was to own a game as a kid, I was always holding out for a new TMNT game. 😅

So I just kinda dip into the genre once a console generation to see what how the games are fairing. Still to this day, I'd rather go back and play Ridge Racer 4 or Tourist Trophy over the modern stuff. Though I tip my hat to Forza for nailing the social aspects that the genre needs.

Familia Crystaloreium @crystalsagamana.bsky.social · 1d

Racing games truly are polarizing. I'm someone that at the basic level can just appreciate the competitiveness of a sport and when I play a game that clicks with me, I don't have a desire to explore further like I do with the Action and RPG genre.

Regaining my Focus here; I finally started dipping my toes into the Samurai job in FFXIV.

XVI is so weird to me. It’s such a slow, methodical, burn for a lot of it. And I still feel the end game side quests hurt the pacing too much.

Yet I love it. Like, it may be a top 3 mainline FF for me.

Definitely glad I finally checked out the DLC for this. I feel whole, almost. This made me want to run through Final Fantasy mode now 😅

Rising Tide was great.

-Great music
-Fantastic bosses

Heh, I can guarantee you anyone propping up NG3 right now certainly wasn't doing so a decade ago when I was looking for people who knew anything about the game.

All I had was YT channels with loli anime avatars uploading an occasional clip here and there. -_-

Familia Crystaloreium @crystalsagamana.bsky.social · 2d

Alright, I beat NG4. Now it'll be back to the regular stuff.

At MCM Comic Con London Naoki Hamaguchi said he wanted to clear something up. At the meet and greet outside someone said "I've heard this rumor that development on the third game is is being cancelled." Hamaguchi says that is absolutely not happening. It is going ahead.

Hamaguchi says he can't tell you when the third game is coming out but it's going well. He says as soon as this panel finishes, he's getting off stage, running straight back to his hotel, and getting straight back to checking some of the levels of the game they've already created.

I was always the kid that was jumping on Kazaa and Limewire at people’s house trying to find any new AMV that features Linkin Park. Anytime someone used DBZ or FF with LP I was in heaven.

25 years ago my world changed forever when I was in my room listening to a burned copy of Hybrid Theory while play video games on my cousins PS2.

Can’t believe it’s been 25 years. 😅

Naoki Hamaguhi says you really can look forward to the climax of the Remake series, and it’ll be exactly what you want it to be. He says It’s coming, and it’s just as good as you think it is. He's very confident in the game that he's making there. (VGC, 10/24)

Hamaguchi says the emerging trend of AI in game development is currently "not something that I could really go ahead with" on a personal level. As much as AI "might try and intrude and take part in the creative side of things," he thinks his team can "do better than AI" anyway. (GamesRadar, 10/24)
