I immediately know this is fake because I was in a thread recently about games released on September 11th and MM wasn’t one of them.

Back then Gamespot used to have big launch center areas on its site for popular titles. Why not anymore? The site used to be big and active with a thriving community.

Was playing Lunacid recently and really enjoyed the addition of numerous pronouns your character can use to express xer identity. Are there any ROM hacks that add extra pronouns/gender identities to older games? Would anyone be willing to create such a project?

I do remember there being a transgender Mario hack where you jump on severed dicks, while we're on the subject. Does anyone remember the name of that?

I like backtracking to some extent because it makes the places make for real in the games and not just a tube you from one end to another, especially when there's usually a different perspective when you backtrack or something has changed. Obviously the key card backtracking is just silly where you climb the ladders 8 times or whatever, that's just padding when the game is about to end soon.

This is a shitty thread but I think the game starts to go to shit once you get to Nova Prospect and gets worse until the end. Episode 1 pretty much redoes the worst parts of the last half of the game but good and fun.

>>12026852
cool tech demo, too many driving sections, no cool alien planet section and pretty boring otherwise. The beginning section of the game and Ravenholm are the best parts of the game, the rest is forgettable.

IMO the filler in the middle (specially the steamboat parts).

That and the combination of Valve being really busy with Steam and Team Fortress 2, and that after a while Gaben probably became (understandably) scared of disappointing its fans with HL3 (which was one of the most hyped games ever after maybe Duke Nukem Forever) so he chose to can the franchise.

Modern zoomers have this strange, alien concept of being unable to comprehend "taking the piss" out of something. If something gets derided even lightly, it MUST be trash, it MUST suck, you MUST hate it, and it MUST be an endearing form of critique.

You are irony poisoned, there's no better way to put it, you no longer know good-natured mockery from legitimate criticism from a mean-spirited attack. Again, this isn't a generational thing, it's a "you specific kids I'm talking to" thing.

honestly he always struck me as being like three steps to the left of having a genuinely cool and appealing design, but as is he sort of just feels half-baked and a bit at odds with himself?
i feel like something like picrel at least strikes a decent-ish balance in terms of colour at least, though to be honest a jumpsuit is hardly an ideal costume anyway

Yeah, there's absolutely nothing embarrassing about falling flat on your face the first attempt only to redeem yourself a little later. If this had happened today, the devs would've just released a long post about how players "just didn't get it", push it to market anyway, and then wonder why it sold ten copies. Being able to take criticism with humility and develop from it is key to any project.

It's key to being a fucking human and doing literally anything.

It's a great game, but irony-poisoned zoomers aren't mature enough to handle it.

Disregard its popularity or lack thereof, if for you it's great then that's all you should care about.
You don't need others' approval to enjoy a game.

>>12026303
They went for the E10+ because it didn't exist until in middle of development, they were aiming a T rating like some games of the time (Jak and Ratchet), and the firsts showings displayed red blood for some enemies even, but then the E10+ rating came out and the game was altered to aim at that.
