I really do not care how early or late a game gets announced. Plenty of great games have been announced early, plenty of shit games have been announced late. What matters is who’s developing it and the situation around the development.

I think people really just need to vet who they get their games from better. There are quite a few publishers/developers I can absolutely rely on to provide a great product on day 1, and saying never to trust them that puts them in the same category as the shitty ones which is wrong.
Huge agree. If I can watch Redline and Dead Leaves in their original language with English subtitles first and miss nothing when compared to watching the English dub after the fact, I think I can catch pretty much whatever most movies will throw at me just fine.
I was a huge Sonic kid, only had a ps2 during 6th gen so my introduction was Sonic Heroes. When I got a Wii I went back and played the Adventure games. I have mixed feelings on them as an adult, I like pretty much every entry during 6th & 7th gen besides Shadow & 06 since I adored them so much as a kid but I can very easily see the cracks in them now and honestly I don’t think I would care for any of them besides Colors & Generations if I didn’t grow up with them.
Some games I loved as a kid that 100% hold up as an adult for me however would be Ape Escape 2 & 3, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Super Monkey Ball DX, Aqua Aqua, Klonoa 2 & Wii remake, Pac-Man World 2, ExciteBots Trick Racing, and my favorite game of all time which got me into JRPGs Xenoblade 1.
Gameplay looks incredible just from the little bit they’ve shown, can’t wait to see more and it’ll most likely be a day 1 buy for me.
That main character looks atrocious though, legit one of the worst scrimblo bimblo designs I’ve ever seen in my life.
Mario Party and Bomberman are the go-to’s anytime me and my out-of-state friends meet up, I would see them at specific fighting game tournaments every year but I’ve fallen out of FGs so I don’t know if they keep it going.
Also not quite tradition but every couple years I replay Xenoblade 1. Just did my 4th playthrough last year.
I just use notepad on my desktop, its so much faster than any app and obviously doesn’t require me to be online. These pics are mostly how I format it, though I did move it around in paint 3D since its too many games for a single easy screenshot at 8 font lol.
Minecraft, while nothing particularly special to me, is most likely what I would choose. The potential for making your own fun in that game is ridiculous even if its been the victim of bad new mechanics bloating vanilla for the past decade. Even the longest of my favorite games cap out around 200-300 hours with all their content squeezed out of them, and with the amount of gaming I do on the regular thats gonna last me a few months at best.
Foamstars has me interested, though I really doubt it’ll run well on PS4 which means I’ll have to skip cause there’s no way I’m paying for a console with less than 5 original true exclusives.
This and Metaphor were the most fun looking games shown around Summer Games Fest, and will likely be what finally convinces me to get a modern rig.
If it has to be a specific moment/level/fight/etc, off the top of my head I’d love to fight the final boss in Final Fantasy 13 fresh again. Its such a cool test of everything you’ve learned about the combat and a great example of how a JRPG boss can be vulnerable to ailments and debuffs while still putting up plenty of fight. There are definitely better boss fights in gaming but this was one of the most fun to learn how to do in the moment and it also loses a good bit of what makes it fun when you know whats coming.
If I’m allowed to pick a game in general, absolutely Xenoblade 1 as its my favorite game of all time. Amazing combat both in terms of system mechanics and party member variety, really fun to explore enviroments that are never annoying to fight in, and near perfect side content both in terms of amount and structure. Its replay value is insane as I’ve replayed it 4 times (2 on Wii, 2 on Switch) but I’d love to experience it for the first time again.
The WiiU pro controller is absolutely my favorite controller of all time, symmetrical stick placement above the buttons, slim and lightweight yet durable, and an absurd battery life between 60-80 hours.
After that, my next favorite as far as traditional controllers would be the PS2 controller. For non-traditional I have a huge soft spot for the WiiU gamepad and the Wii remote + nunchuk.
The worst controller I’ve ever used would easily be the N64 controller, followed at a wide margin by the Saturn 3D control pad. I’m also not fond of 360 controller.
