I think the most interesting thing will be seeing what actually does get snubbed. Something as big as the game awards doesnt wanna piss off publishers. Theres probably a lot of pressure to put diablo and starfield up there. I can actually imagine them doing something stupid and snubbing baldurs gate for those

I'm gonna add Huntdown to the list because I never really heard anyone talk about it. I'm pretty burned out on 80's nostalgia, but Huntdown was a breath of fresh air. It's an excellent Contra clone where every stage has a ton of little details, and all the enemies and bosses have so much personality. There's a ton of weapons, killing enemies always feels incredibly satisfying, and the soundtrack rocks so hard. If you liked Blazing Chrome, you gotta check out Huntdown.

Not underrated, but underplayed. Like not enough people played them, or they flew under the radar. There's so many releases these days it's hard to keep track of everything.

I really liked a game called Later Alligator. It's an adventure / puzzle / visual novel where every single character is an alligator, and you go around Alligator New York City and do alligator things. It's visual style was so unique and beautiful, and it had great music to go along with it, and it's something that really stuck with me throughout the years.

Hypnospace Outlaw is dope too. You play as the internet police, and you have to go around moderating 90's geocities pages. It's so unique and hilarious, I love it. Definitely worth looking into if youre nostalgic for that era of the internet

1097 spoilers:

heres what im thinking: if ginny was captured before she and kuma hooked up, that would mean bonney is only like 13 and just keeps changing her age. which would explain why vegapunk keeps calling her a little girl, and would also make all that fan service very creepy

but if ginny moved on and hooked up with dragon, bonney could be a much less creepy age... and also ginny could be luffy's mom

From the sounds of it it seems like most games on this console are like that. A showcase of what they could do but no one actually doing it.

When it comes to the crank, unfortunately yeah. Crankin seems to be the only game that actually uses the crank to truly innovative effect so far. I like Pick Pack Pup and Gun Trails, but those are crankless.

Another thing Id like to say about Whitewater is I appreciate how easy it is to jump in and play. Thats the main draw for me. Thats how Gameboy games were, and all the best Playdate games are like that so far. I dont want to sit around and read never-ending dialogue on a screen that I can barely see

I dont think Whitewater Wipeout deserves to be that low. Just because its not a full game doesnt make it bad. It can be an addictive little high score chaser, and its a cool showcase for what the crank can do. It achieves exactly what it sets out to do, and thats more than you can say for half the games on that list

Yeah its pretty great for the time, but its got some issues. The combat system is amazing, but it rarely ever gets fully utilized. Maybe during a boss or something. I actually get excited if i get back attacked

Not to mention a level 30 character joins you when youre still level 10, and i expected him to either die or become a bad guy, but nope, he just stays there for ten hours of gameplay and makes combat trivial

stuff ive been playing lately:

Jackal on NES - awesome co-op game where youre two bad dudes in a jeep

Another Centurys Episode - japanese game on ps2 thats like a mech franchise crossover game. Made by Fromsoft and plays like Zone of the Enders. Features gundam, armored core, super robot wars, and something called brain dead or something. Ive only played the first game in the series so far, and its aight

Communist Mutants from Space - a game on the atari starpath super charger. It runs on casette tape, so you have to hook up a cassette player to your starpath, which then plugs into your atari 2600. The game kinda sucks, but everything about it is so weird/crazy i dont care

And still playing Grandia. Just got to the scene with Justin and Feena on the beach. Love these characters, and the battle system is great, but the never ending dungeons are a bit of a slog

You would not be happy with a faithful remake. The original gameplay and script are ass. It had to be updated.

The crucial paradox is the remake needs to evoke the same emotions as the original, which is impossible by being faithful. The original gameplay felt super fluid and intense with the best graphics ever, so the remake needs to feel that way too, hence realtime action. The original story was epic with wtf moments, so the remake needs its own wtf moments. That's why the shitty new stuff actually made 7R more faithful emotionally. It worked really well. Gamers wouldn't be arguing about it for years if it didn't work.

Hard disagree, and half this post makes no sense - the shitty new stuff wasnt emotionally faithful to anything other than other shitty ff7 spinoffs like Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus

Like Ill admit there was a bunch of old stuff in the remake that sparked old emotions. When I first got to Tifas bar, and the music kicked in, I got a little choked up. But then the ghosts showed up, cluttered up the whole scene, and completely took me out of the experience

And this game didnt NEED action combat. I dont know why everyone thinks about FF. There are other modern, big budget JRPGs like Persona 5 and DQXI that are still turn-based and still have great combat
