The Climb, when I made my first headset purchase (Quest 1) for my dad... but I can't remember if maybe it was using an included $10 coupon or something? I dunno...
Zelda II + Castlevania + Terraria
A side-scrolling Zelda game, with heavier rpg elements (like Zelda II), darker more mature tone (lots of blood) and procedural world-building mechanics
favourite: dark forests, something spooky with puddles and fuzzy trees and mushrooms and shit...
least favourite: flat deserts, just sand as far as the eye can see, no vegetation or notin'... super boring... I even prefer those insanely large procedural fields in elder scrolls daggerfall
For something that is intended to be used on a busy city sidewalk (san francisco, new york), they sure went out of their way to NOT demo it anywhere near a real situation like that. They'd really need a special lane to not crash into people, as it seems impossible to really dodge while walking...
I barely keep track of new releases so know nearly nothing about new franchises, but taking a quick look at a few lists:
Starfield
Alan Wake 2
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Final Fantasy XVI
Flashback 2
Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord
Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection...
^ I tried singing that using the original melody, but "eyeballs" is too many syllables so it didn't quite fit. "Balls" would work though, lyrically and rhythmically.
Yep and the other factor is our eyes (gamers and those paying attention) are getting better and better at distinguishing the differences, even though they may be more subtle than the difference between say PS1 and PS2 which I think is obvious to nearly anyone.
"I don't understand why we constantly have to cater to people with potato-machines. They are holding the rest of us back."
It's just a mainstream portion of the gaming community that you're complaining about, it seems. That is what's new. Don't lump it all together maybe? It's not like the...
I guess if you're talking about "sad" emotions, for sure it must've been FF6, with Celes getting (what I assumed was) gang raped and then later trying to commit suicide, then that opera scene showing her sorta-turning point. I wrote down the lyrics on a piece of paper, for obvious reasons to...
Darkwood - a new perspective on survival horror. Scavenge and explore a rich, ever-changing free-roam world by day, then hunker down in your hideout and pray for the morning light.

ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is a mash-up of the best...
include an option to play the original untouched, or maybe a lower-res retro graphics option, and I'm in. I really enjoyed the first game and have always wanted to try the 2nd
reminds me of an old guy at the arcade always standing there complaining nobody is over in the pinball section... I mean, it's kinda funny, kinda sad... I wish him well
Watched my old-ass jaded brother play Thrill of Fight, never seen him become so agile and passionate about anything, ever, first time he broke a sweat in years probably, he seemed frightened even. It was hilarious as he then tried to deny being all that into it... "Dude, you looked like a crazed...
summary: maybe 5 to 10 years we'll see some meaningful upgrade, vari-focal being maybe the first big one, but they are also working on HDR, retinal-res screens, etc... and Mark still has a hard-on for the VR meeting-room app despite nobody else caring...
prime gaming is not free though, right? so does this really belong here? I mean, are we to see xbox/sony live whatever payed-subscription-based "free" games pop up here now?
for those confused by where to get it, once logged in I had to scroll down a bit on the homepage to find the banner with Shantae on it, then click "Claim"...
