| Topic | Is Castlevania a "horror game franchise"? |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/30/21 2:51:22 PM #46 | Simon's Quest feels like easily the closest to horror the series has ever been. Something about the town being overrun by zombies at night was very unsettling. That game also laid the platform for the SotN style games even though its execution was a little sub par. I like the game though jankiness included. |
| Topic | Is Pokemon A "Sports Game Franchise"? |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/30/21 6:38:05 AM #3 | It is also a sports franchise in the sense that it makes a 'sport' out of exploiting hundreds of millions for money with minimal effort. |

There are some good and even some great ones but one thing I can always count on is for their fanbase to put them on a pedestal. |

| Topic | Is Pokemon A "Sports Game Franchise"? |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/30/21 5:17:03 AM #2 | Yes. The games have become lazy cash grabs like the annual FIFA, NBA and Madden 2K whatevers. Definitely a 'sports' game. |
| Topic | Is The Legend of Zelda an "RPG franchise"? |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/30/21 5:09:20 AM #12 | KCF0107 posted... That isn't what paper was saying. In all the Tetris games that I have played, you control the Tetris pieces, but you don't play as one. You basically play as yourself or some disembodied non-entitity. Yes. I was totally being serious here in our one millionth installment of Zelda is an RPG topic. |

| Topic | Is The Legend of Zelda an "RPG franchise"? |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/30/21 12:37:16 AM #7 | Yes. Everything is an RPG. Super Mario Bros. 3 was such a revolutionary RPG ya know because it has an item inventory. Also that awesome RPG that Insomniac made. What was it called? Marvel's Spider-Man. You can level up. You get new powers. The game is practically turn based because you can pause to your menu after each attack you make and the enemy makes. You should really try that. Actually you know what? We should just eliminate the term video game genre altogether. Everything is an RPG. Why even put the role-playing in RPG? No shit we are role playing? Let's just call it video game. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/29/21 12:03:15 AM #15 | LeonhartFour posted... I love it when games tell stories in a minimalist way, but I'm clearly in the minority considering the low scores most of them have gotten thus far. FromSoftware games have incredible stories told in the most minimalist way but a lot of it flies over your head if you don't go out of your way to do some research. Which is why I don't blame the generally low scores for those games in this topic. |
| Topic | Rate the VG Story Day 144: Shadow of the Colossus |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/28/21 11:59:58 PM #14 | 5 Classic game which is a one of its kind and the PS4 remake is absolutely gorgeous but I can't in good conscience give this more than a 5 despite how much the game has meant to me over the course of more than a decade now. The twist and ending is hauntingly beautiful which is what gets the 5 from me. I'd say this game is mostly about the setting and the 16 Colossi than the story. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/28/21 11:30:27 PM #48 | Holy smokes. The responses hahaha. To the last post, I'd rather be upfront about my intentions than bombing a game with 1s scores with zero explanation. Anyway I apologize to TC for derailing the topic. You have your best judgment to do whatever with my score. Keep the initial 6 or strike it off completely if you want as well. I will just say that I'm qualified enough to feel strongly about the game's story after beating it the required 10 times to get the true 'ending'. Story is a bit shallow but overall the presentation and dialogue is entertaining. A 10/10 story though? Hahaha. You have to have very low standards to call it one. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/28/21 11:06:52 AM #29 | No spite. Just think Indie games get inflated scores in everything because its demographic consists of poor people. I'm just bringing some balance. I truly do think it is a 6/10 story and a 9.5/10 gameplay game and an 8/10 if I had to rate the overall package. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/28/21 10:56:19 AM #29 | I'm not even sure if LotR trilogy has hit ten for me yet. Maybe it has but it is around that number. No other movies come anywhere close. So 20? Not even close. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/28/21 12:28:09 AM #17 | ScepterOfLove posted... Im giving it a 10. Like someone else said the plot was extremely simple. But it was told brilliantly and hit every beat it needed to. Like every critic, indie game fans and their metric for scoring an indie game. Oh gee wee, this game is pretty fun to play, that and it is made on a shoestring budget, lets give this 7/10 game a 10. I change my score to a 4. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/25/21 9:42:47 PM #8 | 5 Very forgettable in comparison to the original but gameplay is the game's strong suit. I remember more about certain segments and the boss battles than the overall story. A decent game that fell short of being great. |

| Topic | Just finished watching Malakai Black/Cody Rhoades III on Dynamite |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/25/21 2:10:17 AM #1 | And I'm really shaking my head in disbelief. Way to ruin what could have been your best Monster/assassin-like heel for years to come and one of the best things going on in their company today. Cody with his cringe inducing entrance should have stayed far away from being anything close to a babyface. Guy was getting booed out of the arena and I dunno why anyone thought him getting the definitive win in the feud was a good idea. Just when I think the company is finally getting some things right they go on and trip during the finish line. If they are smart they should book Adam Page to dethrone Omega at Full Gear. Page to defend successfully against Bryan and eventually to lose the title to MJF. But realistically Omega retains, sets up rematch with Bryan and loses title to prove that the top guys of AEW can't hang with the tier below the top of WWE. Just aghast at Malakai's job to Cody who did not need the win in any way shape or form. And yeah seriously Cody, change your entrance music. |
| Topic | Rate the VG Story Day 140: Silent Hill |
| Axl_Rose_85 10/25/21 12:12:58 AM #10 | 8 I call Silent Hill 1 the scariest thing in any medium that I have ever experienced in my life. I credit it more to the atmosphere, mystery and the brilliantly executed exploration more than its actual story. However the story works extremely well for the type of game it is even though it is not on the same level as Silent Hill 2. But what other horror game really is on the level of Silent Hill 2 in terms of story? |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/23/21 3:34:51 AM #18 | Uglyface2 posted... I hope they've reworked some of those missions. There's stuff we tolerated back in the day (even if we complained loudly, there's no question that the games sold well) that just won't fly with any of the younger set who might want to try these games. I'm sure the Supply Lines mission from San Andreas will be fixed to cater to gamers of today otherwise I can only imagine the outrage. |

| Axl_Rose_85 10/23/21 12:40:25 AM #16 | I'm still so angry that we haven't gotten Galaxy 2 in that collection. Such a low blow to the fans from Nintendo. I would have much preferred a Galaxy 1+2 remaster than what we got. Sunshine is still the worst 3D Mario game and the 64 remaster had like literal 0 effort put into it. |

Vice City and San Andreas haven't aged that well (but still much better than GTAIV) and GTAIII even less so. I can replay something like the entire SoulsBorne franchise, Xenoblade Chronicles and the Mass Effect trilogy on a yearly basis and never get sick despite those being nearly 100 hour commitments each. |
