Guess I should introduce myself now that I'll be spending more time here.

I'm Jonathan! (Suede/Suedemaker)
Video games have been my *life* as long as I can remember. AAA, AA, Indie, solo, co-op, MP, love it all, every system.

I mostly share VP but may start branching out with streaming!

I might even pre-order (with like, an hour to spare)

I'm a sucker for cool skins ๐Ÿ˜…

While there was definitely plenty that didn't interest me, it didn't detract from that stuff I did like. Pacing wasn't thrown off which is a huge plus.

Great #StateofPlay. Didn't end with Marathon, ended on a couple of awesome surprises and a shadow drop. Doesn't get much better than that.

DOUBLE YOOOO

God of War pixel art Metroidvania?!?!?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu
February 12, 2026 at 11:13 PM
YOOOOOOO

I never played through God of War 3. Almost burned myself out playing the first two...and didn't end up buying the third game

Guess it'll be time to do that. Holy cow. TC Carson is crackin me up ๐Ÿ˜‚

I hope they're not ending this thing with Marathon...

Man...Konami has been making some absolute bangers apparently. Just about everything they showed looked awesome, MGS is probably the only thing I won't play (that and the Darwin thing)

Just never been able to get into it in any major way.

Motion Twin making a new Castlevania. I didn't want to hope just in case it wasn't.

1000%. Yes.
Give it to me now.

"Konami is one of those."

Oh snap.

"With a list of their announcements"

Plural? Oh snap oh snap.

Yo.
Galactic Racer. All about it.

"Needs more pod racers though"
*Sebulba podracer sounds*
"Hell yeah."

Control Resonant looks so incredible. I am going to absolutely abuse the photo mode (it'll have one. I'm confident.)....and it's like Prototype + Control.

I might even pre-order it. Lordy. Probably my most anticipated for the year.

I was hoping we'd see Resonant! *Directly* into my veins.

Holy shit.
February 12, 2026 at 10:22 PM
I've just been putting it off ๐Ÿ˜…
I've always felt like it will be in a bundle for super cheap right after I buy it. That's exactly what happened with Okami too so I'm extra wary ๐Ÿ˜‚
February 12, 2026 at 10:21 PM
...I still need to play the first Kena....

I would make unnatural noises if that happened ๐Ÿ˜‚

Took me *out* ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's not a Metroidvania as far as I can tell...you can't even attack when you're not in combat...but the art style and the music are great. I might still pick it up, but I'm going to be monitoring impressions and reviews a bit more than I originally intended.
February 12, 2026 at 9:26 PM
The little handheld computer you have is very cool. Scroll wheel, "Ok" and "Back" buttons that actually get pressed, amber phosphor screen, and the animation to open it took me by surprise. Much more interesting to use than just opening a menu to read entires.
February 12, 2026 at 9:26 PM
I think the biggest buggaboo for me is that the audio during the finishers wasn't even close to being synced. Felt like it was almost a full second between the final animation and the sound that's supposed to be there. Needs to be fixed

That plus the periodic performance hitch I couldn't get rid of
February 12, 2026 at 9:26 PM
Played the demo for Replaced...and unfortunately it put some doubts in my mind about it. From the initial trailer I was pretty hyped for it, but it feels a little clunky during the combat. There's definitely a weight to it, but the hit stops are a touch heavy and makes it feel laggy.

Then there's that empty feeling that washes over you and you realize how much you've been sweating for the last 30 minutes ๐Ÿ˜‚

I called it quits not long after I got that first win, eventually ended up opening a loot crate that gave me an item I sold for $84. Good times.

It was so intense ๐Ÿ˜‚

In all the hours I put into PUBG, 90% solo, I only won once. Had a blast.
February 12, 2026 at 6:31 PM
Didn't even realize there's also a demo!
February 12, 2026 at 6:23 PM
Just when I think I've had enough of them, I get hooked on one shortly following the last one I played ๐Ÿ˜‚
February 12, 2026 at 5:06 PM
Yeah unless it's meat, dairy, or other such perishable things, the dates are basically just "hey, just so you know, this might taste weird after this date" ๐Ÿ˜‚

Since the bottle was at the front of the cooler, whoever stocked it last at least did it correctly, so that's a plus
