I'm curious about if Air Riders is going to get updates, considering the direct had footage that showed split-screen online functionality that is completely absent in the game.

games are art, and games should be more widely accepted as art, but i feel like most people shouting that games are art don't treat games like art. so much of the conversation is just people trying to validate gaming as a hobby because it shares traits with more traditional art

playing the original air ride and holy shit they did not balance the swerve star for the air ride mode. Give it to any level cpu and they'll become unbeatable against any other machine.

Team City Trial is going to be so peak. It'll fix one of my problems with stadiums, that being how you don't really get to compete against everyone you were playing with during the rest of city trial.

Fighter is actually nuts for PvP in city trial if you have enough speed and handling to keep up with someone.

While I appreciate how fast you can re-que in Air Riders City Trial, I really wish you could see the stats and results of all other players.

I never played the first Air Ride but Air Riders is incredibly fun. It also feels like there's a whole lot of mechanical complexity despite the control scheme. That alongside the randomness of each City Trial round means I'm going to be playing this a lot!

Kirby 64 is kinda meh but Miracle Matter is a incredibly well designed boss fight. Probably my favorite Kirby boss fight tbh.

Replayed Kirby Super Star and it was better than I remember. Probably my top 1 favorite Kirby game now (previously RtDL)
Great Cave Offensive is actually incredible.

people love saying 'monster hunter hasn't gotten easier you've just gotten better' and then you boot up one of the PSP entries and realize upon getting sent to the moon by a low tier shitmon that not only have they gotten easier but they have also literally made you worse

scores are stupid by the way, but the same applies to if someone where to say a bad game > mediocre game. like idk. people insist they think games are art yet sure don’t act like it. let go of rules. reflect on things. if it brings you some sort of joy it’s clearly doing something right

i think people being unable to recognize that their feelings will always matter more than their perception of a “good” video game is what leads to people making silly thinkpieces like: “a 5/10 is way less interesting than a 1/10” like. Dude. The 5/10 in question *is* a 1/10 to you

when the programmers settle for a quick hack instead of perfectly elegant code, you may be tempted to think it's because they were on a deadline and wanted to move on to more important things, but no. it's actually because they hate consumers and love artificial difficulty
