The Game Awards isn't just a vanity project or hype reel of advertisements. It's a mirror.

I wrote about how The Game Awards is a mirror that reflects the industry back at us, and what their continued success says about who we are, what the industry is, and what we value. Almost none of it is good.

Prime 4 has done a good job getting me in the mood to see how quickly I can bang out some Metroid games 100%, super Metroid down. Flying through Metroid 1.
I’m afraid we need to be more judgemental of people who don’t like that game

The salt this post has induced brings me way too much amusement. The culture needed this.
Q-Up and Candy Crush, say, are more serious works of game than Horses (which seems fine and even innocuous!) or whatever embarrassing anime RPG trash is on Steam or Nintendo EShop.

I beat dispatch recently on a whim, not overly fond of this telltale style of, ahem, game.
But uh it’s enjoyable enough because I like cape shit. Decent enough time kill, my big comment on it is that it feels like what if bioware wrote the invincible tv show.
Which….yeah

If the new Metroid prime sucks it’s because they dumbed it down for the rest of yalls.
If it ends up being good, it could have been better but they dumbed it down for the rest of yalls.

Part of me feels like Dark Souls wouldn't have caught on if the first game had difficulty settings. It'd be "cheap", "pointless", etc.
Arcade games had a relatively granular difficulty option via credit feeding and it played a big part in them written off as "button mashers"/"quarter munchers".

I used to KINDA understand the whole “Wanting to be a part of the conversation at launch” thing
But with lower attention spans, discourse cycles + everyone sticking to their niches more, the novelty of feeling a part of a larger conversation is kinda not as much of a thing anymore

Ash took my answer…so uhhhhhhhh Halo 5.
It looks fugly, btb is ruined, it’s riddled with microtransactions, there is a whole mode dedicated to that shit, auto rifles are made good which is cringe, the maps are samey ground pound is lame, it’s hella not halo……but it’s my 2nd favorite halo.

This is my favourite game. Every part of it sucks, but each part sucks in a way that GESTURES TOWARD something that would be awesome were it not undermined by every other part. It can't be improved because everything that's terrible about its load-bearing. Did I mention it's the best game ever made?

Had the opp to write about why I loved God of War: Ragnarok so much 3 years after its release and how it stood apart from other cinematic adventure games by taking the time to breathe and feel as weighty as the mythological epics it honors. Read at #GamesRadar: www.gamesradar.com/games/god-of...
God of War: Ragnarok shows us the value of a slower pace and not playing by the rules – no PS5 game feels as definitively epic
Now Playing | The excesses of the second and final chapter of God of War’s Norse saga are what made it special and truly epic
