Re: New James Pond Revival Announced With "Cod-Awful" AI Marketing Campaign

@Tom_Gamer as a newly turned-21 year old I can confidently tell you nobody young nowadays is remotely interested in the Disney Pixar style. It’s only used by every AI generation image software because that’s what all the out of touch toads in charge of them think “cartoons” are. Pixar’s recent films have actually been bombing at the box office because everyone is so tired of their repetitive visual style.

Re: "Missing" Genesis Beat 'Em Up Paprium Will Soon Be Playable On Original Hardware With A Flash Cart

Played this game myself. It’s alright. Graphics are some of the best on the system and blow the barren basic backgrounds of streets of rage 2 and hyperstone heist out of the water with all the little details and life in them but it also just doesn’t do anything that hasn’t been seen in the genre before. Branching paths were done 40 years ago by streets of rage 3, final fight 3 and denjin makai 2, the unlockable characters and secrets were already done by streets of rage 3 once again, it’s just a game that’s good but has already been done before. It certainly ain’t beating streets of rage 4 or shredders revenge anytime soon😂

Re: Three More Konami NES Titles Are Getting Fanmade SNES Ports

Got excited until I realized it was the first tmnt game instead of 2 or 3.

I’m all for difficult games but that original nes port always just struck me as lame compared to the other infinitely better platformers on the system. Has nothing to do with the difficulty either I just find it generic and ugly looking.

Super C is hype tho! Second best contra game imo and playing it without slowdown will be a treat!

Re: Bounty Sisters Is A Promising New Shoot 'Em Up From Ex-TwinBee & Gradius Devs

@BausRifle I agree tenfold but at the very least two of these characters are clearly meant to be adults which is p refreshing considering most of this genre strays as far away from of-age protags as humanly possible. Saw someone mention Muchi Muchi Pork as this "must try" shoot em up but the second i booted it up and saw the 3 main pilots all looked like toddlers I instantly nope-d tf outta there🤢

Re: A New Dig Dug Game Has Just Been Released, But It's Only Playable For 2 Weeks

@Lanmanna
-Refusing to ever touch any of their old legacy franchises or doing it once then never again, not even referencing them or making tweets about them
-Putting a patent on loading screens having minigames meaning every other game ever was forced to have boring loading screens with nothing on them
-All they ever make nowadays is lazy licensed slop based on the same 5 shonen anime over and over again

they aren't as bad as Sega or Nintendo but I hate them almost just as much

Re: Nintendo Locking A Screen Filter Behind A Console Upgrade Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone

PinballBuzzbro

I swear every day that passes I feel more and more assured to NOT get the Switch 2 lmao

I think this is fair seeing how intensive these filters can get but all the other horse$#|¥ they’ve been pulling like refusing to credit anyone who works on their projects in end-credits, suing people for being inspired by them, charging money for console tutorial software and making us pay 70-80$ for games even though they aren’t impacted by tariffs anymore is a different story. Someone needs to drop Doug into a cartoonishly red pit of lava over a bridge like the REAL Bowser at this point 💀.

Re: 30 Years Ago, The Grandfather Of Game Journalism Told 2D Fighting Game Fans To "Get A Life"

love this overly in your face unhinged era of gaming magazines so much, every article and advertisement and review was like "HEY WORMSUCKER!!!!!! YOU'RE STUPID, GO SUCK UP AND SQUAREDANCE WITH YOUR GRANNY WHILE CRYING ON PROM NIGHT IF YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY HAMMERIN' HARRY ON THE GAME BOY, GET N OR GET TO SUCKING KITTY LITTER ON THE KINDERGARTEN BUS!!!!!!" it's so earnest and charming to me lmao.
