@Seanmyster6 That's actually a pretty good way of putting it. If you set the bar of "bad" low, then there's very little delineation past a certain threshold, and everything that offends someone just becomes "bad" regardless of how bad it really is.
@vidjagames It just makes me think of Uncle Roger "Big man like you afraid of tiny peanut. Why so weak?"
They copied them, but they drew flat pixel art, of a 3D shape, which is the same thing as if I painted a palm tree that I saw in real life. But they definitely drew the exact same thing.
Hello clickbait article. This is just a generic game boy style nudge racer. I have played many of them, and this one seems to have no distinguishing features whatsoever.
I gotta be honest, I thought Rogue Toilets was some overlooked roguelike from the 90's or something. I was a little bummed. No pun intended.
@PXAbstracftion Donut Dodo is on sale right now on switch and I keep almost buying it, but I am only a bit of a traditional arcade game fan. I prefer a bit more depth like DK94, or some of the PSP/DSi era titles.
Edit: Also I didn't realize this guy was such a vet.
@bring_on_branstons Yeah I think you can blame Baby Kong for that one. If I'm any indication, then most people haven't actually given it much of a chance because they think it's kind of stupid. I'm sure it's a much better game than I think it is.
Too bad the game is terrible. We'll on the Disney game boy family ports spectrum it's middle to top tier, pretty sure I've played them all. Also I don't know why they wanted rumble for this game.
It makes me really sad how dead journalism mostly is now. This site is actually one of the few I read that sometimes has real journalistic articles. But I see this in all fields, we're the old guard rooted and real journalistic practices are being slowly replaced by people who just don't have the same level the skill or discipline.
Oh no, a YouTuber is infuriated. But seriously, I'm tentatively excited, hoping that the person making it is actually a fan of the original. And now the Hebereke sequel, and the trip world dx, could we see a trip world sequel?
If this game didn't exist, and someone pitched it to me, I'd probably say come up with a better idea. Which just goes to show you how important gameplay is.
@-wc- I also agree with it. One of my favorite scripts I've ever written was done under pressure to get it to an artist that night, and with almost no idea of what I was going to write, and I tend to set hard boundaries for myself when creating art in general. I mostly read the part with the full quotation used in the headline (because that's what they used to get me to click on the article), and I generally agree with what the person is saying, I've basically said similar things myself, but I don't think a limited color palette is the way to allow for creativity and interpret people's visions. I love dusk 82, and Rogue aesthetically, but they really cannot be said to have been an artistic representation of the persons vision in the same way Yoshi's island or Trip World is. With older games (or older style), to me, it's more about the gameplay needing to be good to make up for what the visuals lack. That's all I meant.
You can't claim you want an artists interpretation and then say that it should be dictated by a limited color set. Also 3d and color are unrelated, It just sounds like they have a chip on their shoulder about the modern gaming industry.
I love limitations, but that doesn't mean that this one thing you happen to be obsessed with is the right way. I have something like 40 or 50 game documents in my Google drive, an.d almost all of them are 2D games, some black and white, so I'm not biased towards 3d games, In fact I have a chip on my shoulder about the modern game industry as well. But this all seems like such a weird take.
@-wc- The whining sound that CRTs make is like being stabbed in the brain. Though for stuff like Tetris NES, does provide a better gameplay experience.
JRPG generally describes final fantasy and dragon quest, and their descendants. Basically games that took DnD and a added a bit of ghibli. And as far as it's used as a pejorative, I guess that comes down to whether you like JRPGs, which I don't, but I don't think it has any natural negative connotation.
The names fine, he's right it sounds like a Mister, and it sounds like an RPI. It does sound like a chinese knockoff but also.... It kind of is. Something like "retroboard" is too generic. Call it the "Moonbase", or something.
It's "Starring Goemon" on N64. It's basically when the series showed the most promise and they never went back to it. I'd bet good money that DS is the second best but It's so hard to translate so I haven't really played it. 3-5 on snes are great. The side scrolling platformers are mostly pretty boring, none of them even rate with the zelda/rcr ones.
@Jl1357 I'm pretty well versed in racing games and there aren't really many on pc that have splitscreen either. The ones that do are older, or also on consoles, so I don't think pc is the answer. There are a couple exceptions like "distance", but most racing games today are pretty vapid anyways. I'd be happy to hear any good PC exclusive racing games you think I might not know though!
