This and the uh, "story", are why this game got the kicking from the fandom it did. It's not actually a bad game, but it's mediocre with relatively high production values, and the coup de grâce, came out right after Mania . This is true. I'd also make the argument that the controls are a little bot...

I finally got around to playing Sonic Forces recently. Beat it the other day, and am currently working towards getting all the collectibles. I can't say I went into it without any prior knowledge, making fun of this game is pretty much a meme in the Sonic community after all. But I didn't expect it ...

Not sure if/why raocow is intentionally avoiding the hint monitors, but if it's related to the rankings - I'm pretty sure you can use one hint per emerald and still get an A rank. It saves a lot of time to know at least the general vicinity of an emerald. At the very least please don't attempt Mad S...

I beat the Wily Tower mode in Wily Wars ages ago and never really commented on it. It's fine. I like the idea of remixing different elements of the three games but they never got very clever with their setups. Some segments are pretty much lifted as is from the original games. I liked the inclusion ...

Beat Mega Man 3 (Wily Wars). I liked it, it's the most well-designed out of the first three games, in my opinion. The bosses are actually pretty fun to attempt with just the buster as they telegraph their attacks and have predictable patterns, while still being fairly challenging. The slide is a fan...

Beat Mega Man 2 (Wily Wars) the other day, and once more the day after. The Wily stages are badly designed in my opinion and left a bad taste in my mouth, but overall I liked this game a whole lot better than the first, though it's hard to put my finger on why. I want to say the Robot Master stages ...

Just did a quick run of Sonic 2 before going to sleep. Omg this game just flows so well, you just pick a direction and go and there's level for you to play, even now I'm still discovering new areas, agghhh I love it I'm also pretty far into Mega Man 2 already, only got Flash Man to do before the Wil...

I remember back when I first played this on an emulator, I did run into the missing shadows bug. What's worse, my 11 year old self didn't know there was even supposed to be a shadow, so I was absolutely mistified.

Finished Mega Man (Wily Wars version). It was alright, but definitely growing pains for the series. Ice Man's stage and the fight against your clone are just painful. I also get the feeling the Wily Wars version is not the ideal way to play it, what with the weird delay in your movement and some mus...

Played Streets of Rage 2 with my husband, got to level 8. I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy an oldschool beat 'em up, but to my surprise we ended up having a lot of fun. It's just satisfying to beat up a bunch of dudes, and it gets pretty challenging later on. Only big gripe I have is that I wish the...

Oh man!

My first guess when I heard 24 was that it was some SilvaGunner version of a Banjo song. I even went through both Banjo soundtracks in their entirety to no avail. So I don't think I would've guessed it if I didn't ask for a hint!

And congrats to kitikami for the win

Why is there a tiny weed on your lion

All the Touhou 1CCs minus the spinoffs and Phantasmagoria games = 15 games, one per episode

Just cleared all achievements in Plague of Shadows. I thought having to do three more whole runs of the game would be painful considering I didn't love it the first time around, but in reality it started growing on me the more I played. Learning the levels helped mitigate some of the frustration I h...

opinions I agree with all this, and I'll add that while it's overall more polished than Sonic Adventure, its jank moments can be jankier than the previous game sometimes. Green Forest comes to mind with its barely functional half-pipes . sonadow stages are generally far too railroad-y I too would l...

I like Joustus but the problem is it only gets really interesting once you've amassed a good deck. The first few matches were painful for me when I had no good cards

update: king of cards is way too long and kind of exhausting. joustus is the main reason why but there feels like there's just too much game in general. oops. It's definitely the most content-heavy campaign, but I like that the non-linear level progression lets you decide how long you want it be, a...

I started a replay of Plague of Shadows after beating King of Cards. The exact opposite situation from Cyril. huh. My memories of it were a bit fuzzy but I remember not liking it nearly as much as the main campaign. Playing it now... yeah, I'm still not a big fan. Controlling Plague Knight feels unw...

Beat Shovel Knight: King of Cards today. Man, playing these games makes me so happy, Yacht Club Games are so good at what they do. King Knight's shoulder bash mechanic is so simple, using only one button, but it's stupidly versatile and used in tons of fun ways. Levels are shorter than in the other ...

I want to do this too but I'm nowhere near the right level of Japanese yet :c Especially with kanji

I beat Metal Gear Solid the other day, on Normal. Thoughts below: This was my first time playing any Metal Gear. I considered playing the remake, but opted for the original as it's probably closest to Kojima's original intent. Even though I didn't grow up with this generation of games, I can appreci...

I recently started Metal Gear Solid and have been playing it on and off. Not sure how far I am into it since I've never played it before, but I'm at the part where you bust out of prison . The game as a whole is a lot more talk-y than I was expecting, and some of the finer details of the story are g...

*catching up on old videos* I've played this game way too many times, so I've kind of become numb to a lot of its nonsense. That said, raocow's playthrough really put it in perspective for me how insane bonkers Sky Chase is as a level. Not just the aesthetics, but everything you're doing in the leve...

Finished Castle of Illusion on Normal, had a really pleasant time. It does take a bit of a turn towards the obnoxious at the very last stages, unfortunately. Otherwise, very straightforward and charming. The music is lovely too.

I too am very excited for this! This was one of my childhood games, and I played it so many times that I can literally recite all of the dialogue in Sonic's story from memory. "C'mon, ya big drip! Where ya goin'?"

That said, looking forward to a lot of jank
