Ah man thats rough news about the Wii's disc drive...


On a better note; I loved AVGN Adventures! I never played the second one, but had a blast going through the first one.

Your note on Conduit 2 reminds me of Red Steel 2. It was actually good, unlike the first one. Really went under the radar.

Sometimes we must ask ourselves not "why", but "should". I think we may be flying to close to the sun by unearthing 90s FMV fever dreams! I think there's ancient manuscripts that suggest that there is a curse to be unlocked by doing this!

No but seriously the fact that that exists is honestly somewhat amazing in it's own weird way. Is it a physical release? Is it just a port, or is it updated? I have so many questions lol.

I wish you could see my, and everyone else's, time in Neon White. That was part of the appeal was just trying to compete. The most competitive single player game I've ever played!

"Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: Definitive Edition"

why is this a thing lol

I completely agree, it really does feel like Romero posted his better maps where he experiments his notorious traps, especially SIGIL 2, it felt much harder than the first one, still, not as nearly as hard as first two maps of Thy Flesh Consumed, map 2 still gives me nightmares.

Happy to hear that! I personally prefer the first game, sure it is easier and has much less demons, but it has such an unrivaled atmosphere, and I am one of those weird people who values vibes over some other aspects, the music is so much more menacing and atmospheric in the first game, giving it almost horror vibe, I love it so much. DOOM II on the other hand is objectively a better game regardless of my personal preferences, so I totally get where you are coming from, hope you have fun with it!

Since you liked your time with DOOM, may I suggest SIGIL 1 and 2? They are the unofficial fifth and sixth episodes of the game made by one of the main-level designers himself for free!

If you like both Doom and Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle; I liked the sequel better on both accounts!

Banjo-Kazooie is still one of my all time favorites!

Likewise!
I see, that is exactly what I heard about the game, that it is trying to imitate Dead Space so much that it makes itself not stand out in any meaningful way, instead of just using it as inspiration. While it can be done right, like with Demon's Souls and Dark Souls for example, Dark Souls was made to be a better Demon's Souls.

That is something that sounds indeed poorly thought-out, sure, realism is fun and all, but I don't play video games for that, I play them to feel better about myself, to get better at them and improve, while fighting multiple enemies would be frustrating in real life, it should not be in a video game that is designed to overcome a challenge and be fun at the same time, same reason why I hate rage games, they are made to be unfair. It is a shame that the actors gave their all, if the gameplay is not good, the story unfortunately can't salvage that, so their great performance went to waste.

I will definitely give it a go eventually, it is pretty cheap in stores for 15€ where I live, so I might buy it for my Ps4. Thank you for the indepth analysis btw, it gave me much food for thought!
