This is one bleak 40th anniversary

@SecretSeashell "Paint my chicken coop!"

Like others have said, the Resi 2 remake is the best encapsulation of the past and present of the series, and provides most of the foundational lore (that matters, at least), but I would also pull for Revelations 2 as a solid standalone survival horror experience that has a better cast than most of the games, and a co-op system that actually rewards co-operation...

Hopefully the switch 2’s processing power can make the animals have some personality again…

@NintendoWife I wonder if word came from on high that they need to stick with vetted Sugimori illustrations? I remember the first time Uniqlo did a Pokemon range, there was some genuinely interesting stuff, so it's pretty strange...I think I got a magikarp shirt stylized as a king from a deck of cards🐟

It must be easy to be a designer at Uniqlo...

@KeeperBvK ...The point of a "cult classic" is that it has a small, loyal contingent of fans, which this game does. I was always too creeped out to play it much as a kid, and too dumb to solve the puzzles, but the FMVs in the original have only gotten better with age...truly the most acting.

@Drnsnsr Nothing wrong with cathartic ass kicking, but specifically speaking to the “assemble the detonator” segment, collecting three maguffins while running back the same encounters over and over again felt more like RE5/6 than RE4, which seemed like a missed opportunity for such a homecoming. Also, miss me with gun zombies…

Glad you enjoyed, tho…I just started a second playthrough, maybe I’ll like raccoon city more this time.

@batmanbud2 I believe he was Leon in RE6, along with his Critical Role coworker Laura Bailey as Helena...

...Colorblind options yet?

Grace's segment was easily the high point of the game (kinda went off a cliff for me after the care center), and a big part of that was how much life Sant'Albano brought to the character...Hope to see more of her!

…Complete global saturation? I really hope they don’t dilute the series by releasing a game a year…

@CammyUnofficial Seriously…Before I had finished the first half of the game, I was convinced it was a ten, now I’m leaning toward a shaky 8.5😬

@x3King84 3rd person for both, just cuz I think that’s where the series is most at home (and I’m a big weenie who doesn’t have the gas for RE7 scares anymore), but I’ll probably do another playthrough where I switch it up for Grace…

Would definitely recommend this one to anyone interested in "liminal space" vibes. I've usually got limited bandwidth for the walking sim genre (even though I keep buying them), but this one really had me wanting to see what was around the next corner...

Reckon I can finally pick this one up, now that they fixed the gravity on that hot dog...

Goodness gracious, those “surprises” are gonna have to do some heavy lifting—that list is grim. Chibi-Robo is currently the most fun I’ve had on this thing

Things have never been the same since Yoshi replaced his saddle with a shell...

@beartown As much as I love a haunted house, both LM and DKB did wear out their welcome for me before I finished em, but in the case of Bananza it happened much, much sooner. I went in with high hopes, but I just found it so samey and visually unpleasant...Like Metroid, this is a series I may only have the gas for in 2D.

Bananza had about five hours of fun for me…I’m glad people are digging it, but it’s hard to imagine that this is the same team that made Odyssey, which was constantly fresh and surprising. I no longer seek bananium off the critical path. I no longer wish to make holes. Maybe I’m depressed.

Did Nintendo just give no one S2 dev kits...?

I might download the app on the merits of this soundtrack alone…what a weird little triumph these tunes were.

Ocarina of Time is like The Eagles of top 100 lists...Both of them have been on top for so long that we don't even consider the possibility that they have aged like milk.

@Elektrogeist1287 Same! Blood Money knocked my socks off, so expectations were mighty high for this one. It didn't move the needle, but I don't really remember the specifics...Glad you enjoyed, though.

I remember this being a real downturn for the series, before the modern trilogy kicked off and righted the ship...Very strange they want to put it back in the public consciousness!

@Uncle_Franklin (the answer would also include final fantasy VII)

Dry bones appears to be dry-humping his own head…

@Vyacheslav333 Waugh!!

That is one fugly bike...I think Samus should just climb into a larger morph ball (a hamster/global gladiators ball)

They had a solid decade to do this on a handheld whose entire gimmick was native 3D, and they instead decide to fill the landfills with this...

Superstars was a messy husk of a game without an ounce of the charm Mania had and some of the worst bosses in the series…I’m amazed Sega even managed to stop shooting themselves in the foot long enough to sign off on Mania in the first place

@purple_shyguy I believe that was the much-beloved Skull & Bones, at least according to whichever of their overpaid execs made that claim…

$50 in 2005 was equal to around $80 today. I know salary increases have not generally been commensurate with inflation (especially the federal minimum wage in the US), but I really don’t get the pearl clutching here. Not jumping for joy over this, but I find the fact that video games haven’t gotten more expensive over the last 20 years much more surprising…

What have they done to my beloved bubble ghost…

Can’t deny that it’s way easier to form a committee than enact any actual changes in your games!

Wait, did the original yoshi sprite always have arms and I’ve just never noticed in 33 years??

Making me have to play ice climbers means a 7 is as high as I can go on this one…

The…the man who said he didn’t think Zelda games should focus on story…? Who was kinda pissy about majora’s mask…?

Wow…downloaded mere minutes before I rolled credits. Crisis averted.

I will generally go to bat for a great deal of Sonic nonsense, but at no point have I ever been concerned about which point in the Mobius Historia am I doing loop-de-loops and jumping on robot monkeys

Zelda games have characters??

Does…does this mean I will have no longer have 100%’d the game…?

Appreciate you waiting for me to finish it last week! Really loved my playthrough, but like most Zelda games, any good story beats ToTK had were wasted on flat characters and a bad script. I dunno, maybe try finally letting Link talk next time, and see if that helps.

…That said, the dragon battle at the end was extremely rad (even if they sold out Zelda’s sacrifice by restoring the status quo immediately afterwards)

Too many (now rare) gameboy/color games to count, especially with the pennies GameStop gives you, though lately I’ve been hung up on trading in a Dreamcast and most of its biggest hits…Why won’t Capcom re-release Power Stone??

@Sisilly_G In the early 90s, Sega had half the market share of the industry, largely on the back of sonic 1 and 2.

The company may be a shadow of that these days, but back then (before internal strife and a rapid succession of flopped consoles) they really did have Nintendo sweating it out.

Ah jeez, this is the first one of these I’ve missed in years…Had no idea they moved up the date

Ah yes, because the switch eShop is otherwise such a carefully cultivated garden of quality…

10/14, somehow…I should buy a lottery ticket

Criminal lack of Barry, as well as his daughter Moira, who in a single game managed to be more interesting than most of the people on this list…
