I like to call my sense of humor anti-comedy because I steal the enjoyment of anyone who hears it and it only makes me laugh

Pikmin 4 is for people who don't like Pikmin
Why do most game journalists think that having to strategise with your Pikmin in the strategy game called Pikmin was some weird flaw that had to be removed?

i dont think i will ever play a game with a self insert protagonist and think it wouldn’t be better off with just being a fully realised & established main character.

My parents sat me down today saying they have some serious news to share. They apparently are going to have another child. I was in total shock and asked why. They told me that I simply didn’t age that well and was in need of a remake to appeal to modern audiences. Heartbreaking.

OoT was the best game of all time for 28 years, until a weak ago when it all off a sudden became clunky and dated and ugly.

The switch 2 and the OoT remake have proven that Nintendo fans have always been exactly like the rest of the industry, they just had to hide their power level since Nintendo consoles have been lower spec than the competition since Clinton was in office.
rockstar and nintendo glazers have switched personalities where nintendo fans are glazing graphics and how realistic smth is while rockstar fans are defending 30 fps

the idea that "people are just regurgitating the talking points of a successful video essay" instead of people merely agreeing with the thesis of a youtuber's argument and echoing those points is a much bigger toxin to fanbase discourse IMO
that one YouTube essay that poisons the discussion around a game for the rest of time

I still respect film snobs a thousand times more than “gamers” because if The Godfather got remade starring Robert Downey Jr and all greenscreen CGI backgrounds, you would not be seeing nearly as much of “well the original is pretty dated, it’s not perfect!”

All of these people apparently have some sort of medical condition that makes them vomit if they eat the same dish twice in one week.

video games may be the only medium where people act like experiencing a remake is an adequate substitute for experiencing the original like you don't see people act like this with film remakes, they're rightfully treated as two separate films

Nah it just reminded me that you cannot even talk slightly critically about anything online without some people getting frothing mad at you for "ruining their fun" or some shit. And nobody on the "pro" side ever says a fucking PEEP about the vile shit "their" people say.
i’m glad the ocarina of time remake has made people finally realize that “anti remake” people are quite possibly the most annoying people on planet earth

i think its impossible for me to ever engage with modern remakes in good faith because the culture surrounding them makes that completely impossible

I couldn't afford a Switch 2 so I modded the N64 Ocarina of Time to be more like a modern AAA game. It's fully voice-acted. It's a real and you can try it out now, link in the replies.

They can’t make the ice move anymore due to hardware limitations
Interesting video, skimmed it. Things like this bother me the most, graphics tech goes up, interaction goes down leaving a pretty-in-stills but static world. Is this an inflexibility of modern game engines vs building up every interaction manually in older games?

The angry quotes to this from dcu fans are really the crux of the disconnect between fans and the general audience As big as you had made this film up to be in your heads, it really only made a bit over $600M That’s Ant Man level money for the most popular superhero name ever
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office. • ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year. • ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.
