My favorite part about my Dark Urge playthrough is that they often phrase the option as something like, “think about hurting the cat,” and that cat was just a dick to me so while I’d never actually hurt the cat, I can certainly think- oops, I just fucking tortured and murdered that cat.
I immediately recognized that scene, it’s the mushroom trip! I loved all the trippy scenes in this game. Far Cry 3 OST was the first game soundtrack I put on my phone to listen to outside of the game, too (leaving the PlayStation on to blast Crash Bandicoot 2 Sewer or Later level music on the TV on max volume doesn’t count lol).
Back then the Ubisoft formula was still fresh and games made with it were actually a ton of fun.
Super Mario Bros 3. It barely makes the cutoff, releasing jn 1990 in North America. But man, it is something special. I completely understand why people prefer Mario World, but Mario 3 feels like the peak of the 2d franchise for me, and everything after that is just reiterating what it perfected.
Sonic 2 and Crash Bandicoot 3 are up there, too. The first time I played Crash especially, my mind was blown. There are several games that scratch the same itch as Mario and Sonic, but I’ve not found a single game that feels like Crash Bandicoot. Gamers were spoiled in the 90s. …unless you bought from a company that wasn’t Nintendo or Sony.
I sometimes feel like the only American that liked Bubsy. The biggest complaint I hear about it is that the jumping if super floaty; but that’s it’s strength! Once you get the rhythm of the game down, you’re basically Tribes style skiing through the levels. It’s awesome.
Really dig these write-up, keep em coming! Especially intreeged by the oldschool steam deck magazine design, so cooooool!
Also I think at one point you should gather all of these “rants” in some sort of collection for people to more easily find back to. There are some fediverse, blog post-Y tools out there for it, that would kinda generate a blog based on your content. Sadly forgot what it’s called but if I find it I’ll come back here and post it. Just a thought for you to consider 😊
You might be right, at least they won’t go anywhere until I do decide where to back them up in one collection. If you remember, or come across it, let me know!
Funny, I went blind into RDR2 and, not knowing about John’s story, the epilogues felt so weird and out of place. I still can’t really get into his story, maybe because on a subconscious level it feels like it broke the closure I had from Arthur’s. But yeah, RDR2 really is a fantastic game. They nailed pretty much everything.
I could totally see how not knowing about John’s story would break the closure from Arthur’s if you weren’t aware. But yeah, i agree, it’s really fantastic
