Couldnt agree more,
Videogames are an interactive medium, and are as broad a spectrum, as any other medium.

Challenging material should not be shirked, especially because video games or interactive fiction, is the only medium you the player, have a direct say over how the story goes. ( most of the time )
And your choices can directly affect how the story goes.

I may not care much for The Walking Dead or other Telltale games ( because they offer no choice at all ) or The Last of Us.
But one cant deny that their stories don't carry an impact.
Nor that they both don't dwell in dark and reprehensible places.

A good movie doesn't need to be a happy movie for it to be good.
Why should video games be different or held to a different standard ?

Sometimes you want the narrative equivalent of empty calories or comfort food.
Other times you want something thought provoking or a morally grey narrative.
Cause not everything is happy go lucky and media and entertainment tend to reflect that.

@AirElephant

I want to play it because I played the original on the ps2 and it's sequel Raw Danger.
I also like quirky titles beyond what is generally accepted as the norm.

Don't care about the score.
Don't care about the technical issues either.
I am getting it anyway.

Yezzzz, this is what we want Sega, more releases like this.

Well that cover looks ...charming
I don't need sleep anyway

@HobbitGamer

Its graphical art direction remind me a lot of Battlecry
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiQh8wm_75A

Course Battlecry wasn't a bullet hell, but in some place it damn near was.
But yeah this isn't my style of genre either i was hoping it would be a Robotech rip off..er homage.

Reminds me of Robotech on the cube.

Thied Simulator ?
What's that all about.

@liljmoore

I finished hardcore recently.
And wil do nightmare and inferno sooner or later
I'm currently trying to do a "clean" no save, no death run.

..No luck so far.
But the game is so short, I can cheerfully play it 3 times over

STARS !

I'd rather see Nemmie with this mask to be honest

And I finished the damn thing 7 times over the past weekend.
There are other games you say ?

@Anri02
Sorry he got caught off course.

STARS

I dunno they are all kinda samey.
Japanese cause it shows more of Nemmie* I guess
Now run before Nemmie gets you .

( * blame the dark id's LP's for that )

@h15c0r3r

Taste is a very subjective thing
You like what you like and nobody can make any difference about that.
And don't let them tell you otherwise.

I wanna grab Murder By Numbers and SeaBed.
Got Doom 64 and due to the sale Dynasty Warriors.

( as well as Jedi Academy and Pd REmake)

@jarvismp

Well, you know , fanboys and fanboyism.
When does that ever make sense ?

"What I like is double plus good anything else I oppose is double plus ungood.
Especially if it competes with what I like"

@graysoncharles

Crying on the inside no doubt.

@PickledKong64

Cause it's a working Cube taken out of the game.
And there are only so many of the buggers, the less there are the more expensive they wil become.
And the Cube is already bloody expensive as is.

Granted the Wii can play Cube games but its not exactly the same.

All I am hearing is : Neo Geo Pocket revival

@Zenszulu

You could with a NUC
Or a LattePanda or other single board or micro motherboard computers.

Like this one.
It looks promising.
https://youtu.be/-nQxIjqm-FA

Disaster Report 4 and Trials Of Mana.

@Nerdfather1
Animal Crossing will. Remake 3 won't
Its really bloody short
My first run through was about 4 hours.

My second is even shorter.

@gcunit

Sadly my Cube is a Wii
It's perfectly functional , but not really the same.

@nhSnork
Occasionally i do try to get in the spirit and do the actual leg work and "roleplay" properly in the game .
But i soon get bored and just use fast travel

Though what i really want from an RPG is that people actually respond to you accordingly.
Depending on your reputation, what you did in the world and what you are wearing.
Fable II and III came closest to that.

@Incarna
Yeah pretty much
They are all emotionally stunted blocks of wood

I think Ryudo ( Grandia II ) and Cloud do it best.
Cause both do actually have a personality and do change during the game ( and Cloud has a reason for being the way he is )

But Zidane and Justin are much more likable characters, because they aren't just brood brood, edge edge .
Nor are they so over the top enthusiastic you want to strangle them.

I stil need to play Beseria
But I need to play a lot
Shines
Several Atelier games
Several Tales Games
Both Ni No Kuni's
The Mana collection
Shining Resonance
The entire nepu series ( andnow i have that damn nep nep nep song in my head)
and a lot more

@Incarna
Ever played FF 8 ?
Squall Doesnt even have the emotional range of a teaspoon.
He is a dull wooden spoon.

@Heavyarms55
Like Jedi Academy ?
Or Mysteries Of The Sith ?

@nhSnork

When I first played Oblivion i also avoided fast travel, cause actually putting in the leg work seemed more "legit" to me.

I got pretty fed up by it very fast, don't know how you do it.

@Incarna

"emotional range of a teaspoon"

I'm gonna try to remember that one.

Resident Evil Remake 3
Already finished it once. I'm going for another go around its ...really short.
Also Colin Mcrae Rally 04
Saints Row 3
And Jedi Academy.

@gcunit

You would say that with that name of yours. ^.~

Hope that Cube was dead
I'm fine with people modding working hardware in to other working hardware ( ie a portable n64 )
But a working Cube ?

That's one step too far for me.

I already got close to 20,000 comics.
1800 wont cut it for me.

@Pod
Yeah but you know how people are.
Most wil just screech "ripoff !!!" and gather torches and pitchforks.

@Mjoen

While that's a great idea in theory
Sadly she would just be flooded by requests.

May she Animal Cross for years to come.

@fafonio

Then it's an continuation of their "hilarious joke ".

Sounds like damage control.

@jamesthemagi @AmplifyMJ

Yeah but that is the point.
Whe games will sell anyway at ( near to) full price.
There is no reason for Nintendo to drop the price, because these titles sell like gangbusters anyway.
Mario Kart 8 is 6 years old and stil sells for 60 bucks.

That's just the way it is.
Nintendo doesn't play by the it's X amount of years old, better drop the price, rules the rest of the industry does.

( It helps that most Nintendo games are solid titles and that there is no dlc gouging going on. )

@rushiosan

Never gonna happen.
Nintendo games rarely go on sale and if they do its 5% at max.
They do this because they know their evergreen titles will sell regardless.

As for me I spotted a musou game with my name on it.

@Krambo42

Some levels can be a bit obtuse, especially the sith tomb one.
But that's mostly later in the game
And you can choose what levels you want to play.

It's stil not funny.
When you need to explain the joke, you know you failed.

@Krambo42

Jedi Academy is more straight forward most of the times.

@swagbag713

the naming convention of the Jedi knight series is
...convoluted

Dark Forces
Dark Forces II Jedi Knight.
Jedi Knight II Outcast ( Should be Dark Forces 3 )
And finally Jedi Knight Jedi Academy ( Dark Forces 4 then )

The full title should be: Star Wars: Dark Forces 4 Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy.

A ludicrous title of epic Japanese proportions.

Never seen a series before, that actually changes its title midway through.

@MortalKombat2007

Is that Harley in your avatar ?

@TheWingedAvenger

Riiight that's quite some baseless assumptions you make on my behalf sport.

The idea that 8 bit is better then 16 bit is risible.
16 bit games tend to have better graphics, Better music, better controls and are generally considered to move games forward.

You might like 8bit games better, but that doesn't make 8 bit games technically better.
16 bit was a massive jump forward

And kindly don't bother with the true scotsman fallacy
" I started with so and so console, se i know what I'm talking about. You bloody younguns don't know jack."
Its a straw-man and doesn't work

Nostalgia is best left in the past.
But if you don't believe me by all means replay all those 90's games that have been left in the dust by quality of life improvements we are all used to by now.

Goldeneye is showing it's age.
Spyro is getting ropey.
Crash is infuriating
Final Fantasy is a grind fest.
Dragon Quest even more so.
Why don't SMB 2 and 3 have a save features ? The Japanese versions did and so did the all stars version ( hey 16 bit improvements )
Zelda 1 is cryptic as hell.
Zelda II has a massive difficulty spike.
Castlevania II is not just cryptic, it's badly translated and delights in being obtuse.
Caslevania III is infamous for being the hardest of them all.

16 bit on the whole improves on almost every aspect and that's why i draw the line there.

But do go on and ignore the sequels, to all the games you mentioned. that were released on 16 bit hardware.

And this might shock you, but different people like different games.
In different era's no less.

Oh, and yes I do draw the line with listening to music.
Because shock and horror, I don't like certain genres.
But if you are in to Tibetan throat warbling, that's fine just don't expect me to be in to it either eh ?

That music analogy was really silly and I am not sure what point you were trying to make there.

Now if you wil excuse me I got some 16 bit games to play
( Secret Of Mana And Seiken 3 )

@TheWingedAvenger

How long ago was that ?
Cause most of the time nostalgia doesn't live up to reality.

As for me 8bit games tend to be too janky and unforgiving and i draw the line at 16 bit.
Got too many games, to be pouring untold hours in one game hoping it will end up being "good".

@SeantheDon29

1025 Steam games
And my 256 gig sd card is fit to bursting too.
Before I know it I wil have to look for a Tb card.

So many bloody games.

...I wouldn't want it any other way

Uuuh...no not at this price tag anyway.
I got so many games I want 2020 is gonna be monstrous.

Pity my poor wallet.

@Heavyarms55

Oh no I am totally the same.
I stil prefer controllers, especially the xbox ones, for PC games.

And some games just feel right or better with a controller.
Driving games, beat em ups, action games, platformers,
are all better to me with a controller in my hands.

I can make do with mouse and keyboard but i'd rather not.
It's why I prefer Jedi Academy on the Xbox ( and NX)

@Heavyarms55

It's dirt cheap on Steam about 2-3 bucks.

A port seems unlikley but never say never.

My first pc was Pentium II and it came with Jedi Knight but I couldn't really get to grips with it.
Took a while before i took to PC gaming.

Found some lovely old Star Wars PC games ina thrift store a while back
Rebel Assault II
Street Racer
Die Hard Trilogy 2
Alien VS Predator 2
Monaci Grand Prix 3
X-wing Cdrom edition

And best of all:
Dark Forces on cd rom
and Blade Runner.

But if you do buy Mysteries of the Sith.
You may find this usefull.

Just in case cause PC gaming can be ...tricky.
