Re: Feature: Games That Got Us Through Tough Times

@Neckcrane This personal relationship that people have with certain games is what makes gaming such a wonderful medium.
So many people play the same game but have a different experience and context with it.

It's not about showing off hardware and blockbuster sales or having the newest tech or game to play.
But some people never get this to them gaming is all about moving forward and being on top of the hype and to some degree streamers and such contributed to this 'trend'.
I adore re-visiting old games some surpise me for I have not played them for so long, some are so ingrained in my brain that it feels like coming home.
Some are just reminders of simpler times, atleast for me as a person, or I can look at them in a different light because of the headspace I was in at that time.

But to a lot of people who don't 'get' gaming it's just mindless staring at a screen, cursing at people on the other side of the line or something.
My dad used to get annoyed at the blips and bleeps coming from the pc speaker as I played he never understoond me playing games and I never got him watching football(soccer for the yanks)
But I guess in that we did found some mutual understanding.

@pneumaticgnosis Yes you are allowed to criticize but don't expect that to change anything.
I bet Gilbert was taken aback by this response to him finally making a MI game since so many clamored for it over decades.

The backgrounds look a bit hit and miss I prefer more defined shapes and outlines but the faces look mostly quite lifeless so far.

@Ogbert The pocky and Rocky remaster is a great example of awesome pixel art, lots of detail, far more beyond the look of an 8 or 16 bit game.
The new TMNT game is also a good example of how much detail you can cram into pizel art in this day and age.
People call sonic mania a 16 bit game but it has colors and effects never possible on any 16 bit system not even the NeoGeo.
As Tim Schafer stated in an interview about Full Throttle Remaster.
The Artists who drew the backgrounds never thought to themselves: "you know what would look good on this drawing? a nice staircase!"

@jrt87 Why is he awful? (read the coments a bit better, sorry)

I mean he is not the most fun or interesting to watch, never been a fan, never hated him. He used to work for Sierra is all I know.
He does seem to have interest in gaming but I enjoy Gamesacks more when it comes to game content.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Wanted The 3DS To Launch At $199, But Was Rebuffed

@CharlieGirl The price drop and the NEW-3DS(outside of it's naming) made the 3DS one of the best handheld systems ever.
N3DS has virtual console, better 3D capability, better hardware and a better designed overall formfactor.

Sadly Nintendo has a habit of releasing the system that it should've been at launch few years into it's life.
