Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Have a nice weekend.

@Eagly Ah, right thanks. Unfortunately, just after Christmas I bought quite a few new games and ever since XC3 has been occupying my time, so...

@Eagly Yeah, I really hope they port it at some point, but who knows?

I woke up in the morning and I found something not quite right here.
First, I keep hearing about poor performance of Switch version games for multi console games.
Second, I keep hearing the trash talking from users who really hate games by Outright Games.
Third, my personal issue which I was easily to get sleepy recently as my gaming appetite during February 2023 was up and down especially during rainy season.

@Anti-Matter I woke up and saw the sun and sneezed, I didn't see much talk of the other stuff.

@Kermit1
Also, I got reply from PushSquare about one upcoming game from State of Play and it really broke my heart as that game which I have ever keep watching for nice looking graphic (Tchia) have very inappropriate contents (blood and gore, wth?!) after I found its trailer with ESRB descriptor.
Oh, well. I have to ban that game for very inappropriate contents.
Rules is still rules, whichever games broke my gaming rules, it should be banned.

@TeaCatherine I really liked Harry Potter 1 - 3, whenever a new book came out I would read it, and the whole series from the 1st one to the one that got released. HP 4 was falling apart, and after the trainwreck that was HP 5 I completely stopped caring about the franchise. I know that it's not that good and that characters are mostly annoying and the storyline is weak like a goomba, but it had this something.

As for the game, it's pretty okay'ish, granted I played it for a pretty brief amount of time so I don't know how repetetive it is.

Okami HD is a gem. It's on sale pretty often so you won't have to wait long. Please do share your thoughts if you happen to play it. I have some great memories with this game, with a certain snowy day, friends coming over to play and an ice covered steep part of the street.

@Anti-Matter Upon watching the trailer I haven't seen anything inappropriate. Nothing even showing the hints of Teen rating. Not that it matters to me though, as the only thing that turns me away from a game is explicit content. Also, let's not fake it, we are all raised on GTA3

@ComfyAko Yeah, I know, I actually find the Eshop great for things like that, releases from earlier generations for a reasonable price. I will get it probably next time it goes on sale.
Also, the whole Harry Potter craze just completely passed my whole family by, we read a few but the characters weren't that good and the writing style just annoyed me.

@ComfyAko Careful, Anti-Matter will block you for that.

@ComfyAko I have never played a GTA. I never want to anyway lol.

@ComfyAko
I don't.
Even during my teenhood, I only play appropriate games for kids and teen like DDR PS2, The Sims Bustin' Out, Harvest Moon, Monster Rancher 4, Bomberman PS2, etc.
I never shown any interest to adult games even when I was high school student, instead I like the cartoonish looking stuffs.

@Kermit1 Same 'ere.

@TeaCatherine Yeah I get it. HP is kinda hard to get into, I mean the biggest plot twist is known to everybody. And I remember that about 2 times in my life, I managed to somehow escape the plot twist spoilers and I was really dumbstruck: In HP and Matrix
In HP, I was like... did I read that right?! Yer'a a wizard Harry? And in the Matrix I just watched the whole thing as my mind was getting blown by each passing minute. Shame that nowadays everybody knows everything about the classic movies and the industry is struggling to make a coherent storyline that would be more than a string of loosely connected scenes, let alone a masterpiece like Matrix, Blade Runner, etc.

For what? I really don't see anything bad in it. I'd play it myself. And as for a GTA, I refuse to believe that there is anyone who didn't just rampage through the city at least once.

@Eagly Nah, they love money, they just prefer money with no effort needed. (Cough, NFTs, cough.)

@ComfyAko Anti-Matter hates all M-rated games, and even talking about them positively can cause him to block you which makes viewing things really annoying.

@TeaCatherine You can play Snake Eater now, if you wish.

@Eagly Eh, I just feel like it's one of those dude-bro games, y'know? Plus, like, I don't really play a lot of western games, I prefer JRPGs and stuff.

@Kermit1 I won't advertise it for you, but to me, it will always be one of those magical games that never age. I used to just make massive shootouts on cheats, but then it slowly turned to just cruising around the city, be it Liberty City from GTA3 or Vice City from... Vice City. Just driving and listening to absolutely beautiful soundtrack made from the best songs of 80s and 90s. I just moved in the game and appreciated the world. The huge buildings, the rays of sun, the atmosphere. A night stroll on the Ocean View street in GTAVC is a magical experience to this day.

@Anti-Matter Well, I actually really like games for kids. It's just that violence and gore was never an issue to me in a video game, I mean it's just a bunch of moving pixels. That's why to me, all is appropriate. What I don't like is games that are trying to be so "grownup" and "mature" that they become generic and flavourless.

@Eagly I don't really think I have the power to upset people.

@TeaCatherine @Eagly Oh ok noted. Luckily I didn't say anything that would trigger, but thank you for the warning nonetheless.

Yeah, Star Wars falls under the same category. Too big to actually surprise you. Except when you tell someone it's "no, I am your father!" instead of "Luke", Mandela Effect is fascinating.
