We definitely don't doubt that: Despite our Brand™, our mission statement has always been to understand the circumstances behind oft-maligned games, to give them their due process and due credit, and to help viewers understand that game development is a tough fucking gig haha

(Also, hello! We obviously recognize you as one of the game's writers / sources quoted, and we assume you're being a bit facetious here haha)

I don't rightfully know what else to call a dev cycle where everyone seems to resent a singular unnamed producer / publisher rep, another producer admits to having constant arguments over the inclusion of certain characters in the story, and the end product released to lukewarm reception / sales lol

If you happen to have a spare hour (lol), we'd love to hear if you think we represented the game fairly in our opening rundown, and if there are any additional reflections on the game you might like to provide? We really do try to give oft-maligned their due process / benefit of the doubt.

@hypnocrite.bsky.social Hey howdy! Hope you don't mind us @ing you, but we're doing a playthrough of Homecoming on stream that opens with a "history section" on the game's development; using some of your quotes as sources, and trying our best to give context to the end product.

'Balls of Fury' released on this day in 2007.

A critically panned video game tie-in to a critically panned film of the same name. A no-frills (if not imprecise) ping pong game, with the additional wrinkle of awkwardly-rendered actor likenesses. Truly, a game no one asked for.

'C1-Circuit' released on this day in 1996.

An early entry in the annals of street racing games, produced for the PlayStation by one-time developer / publisher INVEX. Awkward handling and busted collision detection render the game nearly unplayable.

Becky is one of the all-time legends -- a master of her craft, a fount of knowledge on the industry, and an incredible positive role model for us trans folk to aspire to. She's had an incredibly rough go of it these last several years, and I urge you to consider supporting her in this time of need.

We've also been having BSOD issues in the past 24 hours -- after installing the latest Windows 11 security update and NVIDIA drivers. If you've updated either recently, it may well be the culprit. I'm currently messing around with rolling them back to see if it brings system stability back in line.

Demolition Man (3DO) - Bad Game Hall of Fame

Bad Game Hall of Fame @bghof.com · 6d

'Resident Evil 6' released on this day in 2012.

The black sheep of the classic survival horror franchise, wherein the horror elements were prioritized at a cool third behind "constant explosions" and "co-op hijinks." Ridiculous action set pieces combine with over-long campaigns.

'Demolition Man' on 3DO released on this day in 1994.

Jack of all genres, master of none: Stallone's involvement in FMVs shot specifically for this movie tie-in do little to elevate the dire state of its gameplay. As inconsistent as it is ambitious -- a true novelty for the 3DO.

'Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero' released on this day in 1997.

Midway's first attempt to spin a Mortal Kombat title off from the fighting game genre. The end result is a brutally clunky action platformer, where traps and falls are the most common causes of Fatality.
