My condolances.

In today's gaming envoriment large companies can make promise after promise, deliver on none of them and walk away like nothing happened. The worst thing that can happen is some people calling you bad names online. What makes you think advertisement would be more ethical at a time no one gave a shit about gaming?

And the crowd goes mild.

That's actually part of why I didn't enjoy Gradius and Life Force. At that point it's not a fun challenge, it's just bullshit. In Contra you can do pretty good with the starting weapon, even if it's not ideal.

There is a pretty fun metroidvania called The Weird Dream that I only know about because FitGirl repacked it. They don't seem like a threat to me.

Style, visuals, characters and the gameplay all look pretty cool. I think the question is if it's going to manage to reach a large enough audience?

I don't know, I think even back then PS1 and Saturn had the better controllers.

Oh hey, they finally remastered games that would benefit from it.

It would be very interesting to see what the Angel of Darkness remaster will look like. Honestly that's one of few games I'd love to see get remade, Core had a lot of plans for the title that didn't make the cut due to rushed development.

I'll definitely try usenet when I have the money to pay for it, niche content without jumping through private tracker hoops sounds awesome. Though I also love torrents, so it could go either way in the end.

They buried Vinnie on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around.

Oh hell yeah! Doomers did it again!

Nah, that was a reboot. And it kinda sucked.

I've never heard of Ratalaika Games before.

The game seems quite fun, I actually liked the first Zelda (even if it was incapable of guiding the player in anyway the gameplay loop was great). So I would love to give this a shot.

That's some awesome 2000s coverart! I want to give it a try now, I love shooters.

Edit: Shiny Entertainment guys made this? Now I definitely want to play it!

You can get back into Superman with "The One Who Fell" trade.

Is that a Trinitron?

Although I haven't read Hellboy yet, I doubt it has much in common with Sin City.

...poorly received full-motion video sequences.

Those cutscenes are the best thing to ever happen to Mario, change my mind 😌☕

I don't even know if it's "so bad, it's good" at that point, the writers and animators could've been taking the piss for all we know 🤣

I think one factor is that people are running out of patience, way too many of these franchise films and shows from recent memory have been considered terrible by a majority of viewers.

If MoistCritical's review is to be believed (that's the only one I've seen so far) it apparently doesn't even have much of a plot, which would be enough to make it worse than Morbius.

You think you are old? I was playing Duodecim Scribta at Ancient Rome!
