he was a compulsive lier (like a really bad case) but he made really great games.
his last game was a casual one so it didnt land with the core gamer crowd (they were a thing back then)
his lies was also easy to make fun off so the normies didnt buy the game either
didnt help that it was the third entry that was vastly casualized (remember, casual game so casualization was a given) when most fans didnt like that the second game cut out the broken and cumbersome aspect of the first game
what is the lesson of the day? I miss black&white

The cartoon itself is acceptable (not very fun IMO but good for a chuckle), but it suffers from that thing all cartoons from the 2000s have where the writers snuck in weird shit under the radar. Again, it's not really that bad, it's just that it sort of rubs people off the wrong way.

The fact that you can't even tell is what makes it a shitty cover, anon. Cover the name and nobody could even tell it's a videogame, looks like a 90's album cover from a shitty band your little sister listened during her emo phase.

The fact you don't see the monsters most of the time is what made Amnesia scary. Even looking at them damages you. Once you know what they look like and how they operate most of the fear vanishes.

The monster does not look that stupid in the game. You're also specifically encouraged to not look directly at the monsters by the touted sanity mechanics, to ensure you only get fleeting glimpses of them as you flee and hide.

In the game there are 3 characters, they all arrive on a base on Mars but are split up, each in different sections of the base, you play as all of them and can swap between them at any time (the game world also doesn't pause, you can get eaten on a character you aren't currently controlling). Because of a plot point they can never enter the same room or its game over. So they need to go around the base basically solving puzzles by finding and moving items around through pneumatic mail tubes between major rooms. So in a way they are all reliant on each other and they are "one" therefore the art depicts them in 1 survival suit together.

I legitimately love the game, like it's a hardcore 10/10 for me personally. It's like a janky RE2 clone with a very weird story and setting. However your mileage may vary, because most people fucking hate it. They find it clunky to the point of being difficult to play or overly hard.
The regular version has an ultra punishing save system where each computer you save at only has 3 saves before it bricks, so you only have like 30 saves over the whole game (trust me, it's NOT a lot for a casual play through, you will die a shitload) and because they're per save point locked, if you burn out too many computers near the end game you might have to backtrack very far to an older computer that still works and save there
>>
>>721813058
>>721812582
Forgot to add, taht save limit system is so hated that even the megafans of the game removed it, the patch that makes the PC version playable on modern computers automatically removes the 3 save limit on the computers

I like a lot of Insomniac's stuff but the featurette on Wolverine made them sound so far up their own asses (or trying too hard to appeal to what Sony's supposed target audience is). They spent like 3 minutes on this boxart and it's just a standard render on plain yellow with the most basic logo. Literally nothing. Origins Wolverine had a better cover and that was a movie tie-in, let alone all the X-Men games with great boxart before that.

At least the older games had some semblance of composition, particularly some of the SvRs. Even non-WWE games lost creativity; AEW's game just has existing photos of the roster and Fire Pro Wrestling World just gave up beyond the logo because having Okada/Tanahashi/Omega/Naito on the cover would lead to more sales than anything that took effort.

FF artist is very known and he worked for Tatsunoko before, see Gatchaman and Time Bokan. By the way he's unrelated to the Rock-On cover.

Marvelman, yes, who was basically Captain Marvel (DC's version, now called Shazam) remade in the UK after that DC title was cancelled in the 50s, because it had been a good seller in the UK and the comics companies there wanted to continue a similar hero. Much later on in the 80s when a then current revival of the Marvelman book was exported back to the US, it was changed to Miracleman at the behest of Marvel Comics (Alan Moore, the writer at the time, bore a forever grudge against Marvel for this).
Then all the rights to Marvelman AND Miracleman were seperately all screwy for decades through various splits and sales. Now I believe they all rest with Marvel Comics who acquired them in the 2010s.

It's all a rich tapestry. It's not even getting into Captain Marvel/Shazam and how messy that was in the 30s-40s.

No it didn't. Only the right one is real.
Those other 2 are just customs, you goober.

They are better though, even if I like how rex looks in the bg.

>phallic
Phalanx is a Roman/greek soldier formation, in which a bunch of guys hold their spears out. So a ship called Phalanx looking like a phallus makes a little less sense than the Vic-Viper looking like a Roman gladius (gradius).

The Switch 2 probably has the worst console label. So much empty red space at the top after how non-intrusive the Switch 1 label was.

I mean, it's a weird crossover between Dokaben's mangaka characters and real life japanese players, with the manga ones being rendered in celshading.

You were supposed to be able to plant trees in Fable, and watch them grow, because that was the level of simulation that Molyneux promised would be into the game

Instead Fable 1 is an ok adventure game that is surprisingly easy to be nostalgic for, but

where's my planting trees mechanic, molyneux

putting that dude "john game" on the cover seems to be hated here
but what about putting that gal "jane game" on the cover?
my parents thought this was porn, its not, and looked through my psp, when they found gta on it, they made me delete the game. I will never forgive this game

this is a nokia phone tier arcade game
it tricked so many parents into buying it for their kids without knowing what a lame game this is (not that they cared)
