Why not write the dialog after completing something versus telling you what to do? That would effectively work well here. Samus completes massive puzzle room: “Wow never thought to do that!” Versus: “MISSILES CAN HURT THESE ENEMIES.”

I’m now on-board that this was a weird choice.

Okay, I watched another preview and got dismayed when he wondered why she wouldn’t use a save station, then had his voice-line interrupted by himself to tell Samus how to use missiles.

Quip-dialog is something I can live with, constantly interrupting the player on how to play is baffling.

After watching a few videos from Sebbywebz: I believe FFVII Remake and FFXVI killed his dog, set his house on fire, made him not do the dishes and purposefully clogged his toilet.

Also forgot to post the mandatory: Unreal didn’t use to be just a game engine nor a tournament shooter.

You’d be surprised how many times this is lost in conversation.

I’d also like to point-out that directly under StarCraft in that screenshot is “Unreal”. The original Unreal never got a console port for that matter, as I recall one was attempted for the N64. I would really enjoy seeing a port of that running on original Xbox hardware.

After watching some demo clips, from what I understand: The outrage is that a character clearly intended to be written and performed to be slightly annoying for comedic effect is something that has now ruined a series.

I expect similar outrage when bad guy written to be bad does bad things?

I realized that was happening like on my third watch of the film. 🤣

Homebrew on the OG Xbox was revolutionary. This was the first main-stream console to have emulators that didn’t run like crap. You could play both N64 and PS1 games on it, which at the time was just the gen previous. Not surprised at all that a homebrew version of StarCraft exists.

Yes, you will have to fight this thing multiple times.

As someone who can grow a beard AND can wear sunglasses, this is sorta like a horror movie.

“shocking”

No. No it’s not. If anything I’m ‘shocked’ there are enough people who are 40 being able to get one.
And if you still think it is shocking… Holy shit guy, I don’t know what to tell you.

Remake to that is surprisingly great.

The fact that people have to remind other people that the company that, (and I can’t stress this enough, because they themselves released multiple press statements at the time of how amazing they were) made 2.5 million A DAY can maybe do better when it comes to their employees and customers.

Can vouch that Clair Obscur and FFXVI are great experiences.
November 7, 2025 at 12:55 AM
That’s a joke of-course. Yes they should charge money for product. But after making a BILLION DOLLARS from an online mode, and people are having arguments about the game should be $70 or $100 is fucking weird.
November 7, 2025 at 12:52 AM
There’s a lot of reasons to avoid Rockstar. GTA Online gave Rockstar 2.5 million dollars per-day in 2020.

And in the last couple years, people, were/are still, having arguments over how much GTA6 should cost for purchase, and for some-reason the default isn’t:

“Wait. They’re charging money?”
November 7, 2025 at 12:51 AM
“Man, collecting Sega Saturn games can be costly.”

To play devils advocate: I’ve been playing the Tomb Raider Remaster and I love some of those achievements so far. One involves you literally performing a glitch to get an item that’s been impossible to get since 96. The guys remastering it were like: Don’t fix it, this is a history lesson.

They showed this in theaters before the movie started. I remember this clearly, because at the time I was like:
WTF I’M HERE.
