Hab alle noch nicht gespielt bisher, immer spannend, sowas nachzuholen :) Grad Sega Saturn-Spiele (bzw generell 2D Arcade-Spiele aus der Ära) sind leider oft noch ein blinder Fleck in meiner Spieleerfahrung. Das Gun Force 2 der richtig gute Teil ist und Teil 1 eher mittel hatte ich gehört..

I recently saw the description a few times that the internet went from a separate place you visit from your living room desk and then close down again to an entity that is everywhere all the time. Everything is now somehow connected, social media is THE third place for many (unfortunately).

You can't even follow most local band/events without social media. Schools & university will organize via it. Google is becoming useless, for a lot of information you need to be on platforms. Yes, technically you can walk away. But it's not how the structures of our society currently operate.

No, it is a structural issue at this point. For most younger people, social media/internet is basically a social and work/educational requirement. You can not simply walk away anymore. And as soon as you have to use it, most social media is designed to be a psychological trap keeping you there.

Aber vielleicht Mal noch ne allgemeine Late 90s Arcade Collection. So Sachen wie Cannon Spike, Shooter wie Mars Matrix und Giga Wing.. Da könnt Tech Romancer stilistisch vlt reinpassen ganz gut. Wobei da vermutlich die Zielgruppe kleiner ist.

Ja, der Vollständigkeit halber wäre das noch spannend gewesen. Zumal es das vermutlich auch erstmal war mit Fighting Collections von Capcom :( Die ganzen Darkstalkers und Street Fighter Sammlungen gibts ja auch schon am Markt..

Ich warte noch auf meins, aber es wurde gestern losgeschickt. Freu mich sehr drauf, zumal ich auch endlich wieder einen Arcadestick für aktuellere Geräte da hab. Capcom vs SNK 1/2, Rival Schools, Power Stone 1/2... quasi meine Capcom-Lieblingsprügler der Dreamcast Ära vereint.

Glad they have that option. I can relate to several modern games feeling overstimulating to the point that I don't enjoy playing them. I will keep that toggle in mind if I feel overstimulated by this game :)

Ich hab die Collection seit Langem im Regal und die Originale damals geliebt. Muss echt Mal rein zocken. Theoretisch bin ich in 2D Action "besser" (?) geworden seither dank Deepdive in Arcadeshooter/Bullethell usw... Aber in Mega Man Zero war ja IIRC vor allem das Rankingsystem tricky. Mal sehen.

The last years, friends of mine came out as Trans. I see how they struggle with what is happening in the world and how many people view and judge people who are different. I just want a world where they can feel save and confident so... ofc I do care about trans rights. I care about people.

A close family friend was gay in the 90s when I was a teen, so I had some ideas about different gender concepts. I just assumed that people are what they are and it's not on me to decide or judge.
As a photographer, I had several shoots with a man who as I learned later was a woman before.

Oder alternativ in Sicherheit gewägt, aber dann wird das Philipps CDi ausgepackt und los geht.

Gerade PS2(Xbox/GC/Dreamcast)-Ära Horror- und Action-Spiele sind oft rückblickend extrem einzigartig und spannend. Trotz mittelmäßiger Ratings der Presse damals.
Bin gespannt, wie wir in 20 Jahren auf die heutige Spieleauswahl zurück blicken.

Schon lange nicht mehr.. bestimmten Reviewern vertraue ich, weil ich deren Geschmack kenne und einordnen kann. Aber die "Zahl unterm Test" kann eh weg. Und Metacritic ist eine Seuche. Wird dem Thema wenig gerecht.

It's especially crazy considering Sony is offering Ultra Blurays on PS5 with up to 100GB of data IIRC.

Ok, then I'm off to "wait for sale in 3 years". It's ok. It's looking bad for Doom Dark Ages, too. At this rate, when digital is the only way forward, I'll skip future consoles and just wait for 10-15€ Steam/GOG sales. Will never pay 60-70 bucks for basically an empty disc or download keys.

Thanks for this great write up. Hope even more people will give the D:OS games a chance now after BGIII. The second Divinity game walks the line between drama and humour with great grace. And the battle scenarios sometimes are basically turnbased environmental puzzles :D

Gute Besserung.

Though ofc I have a male perspective - even in smaller communities, I can imagine women getting annoying DMs, creepy behavior or similiar. I did have a small forum myself and remembering, there still was drama sometimes. And I was still in my teens, figuring out how to decide what's right.

While I agree (especially regarding bigger communities, similiar to today), it was much easier to find small friendly niche forums. A lot of toxicness came from the same people who are still toxic on social media today.. but a good mod team could actually throw out "bad apples" so to speak.

Like that, no, I did not. Not after WiiU. Better, yeah, but not "most successful thing ever". But they turned around, marketing was something else, first year software lineup one of the strongest ever. It's one of my favorite devices for Indies, retro, Nintendos own output, handheld mode is a bliss.

Ubisoft credits run long, I remember that.
It's such a shame they disbanded the devs..

Pretty hyped for this! You cooked pretty hard with Hazelnut Hex, one of my favorite recent shmups, so... glad and excited to see another one of these! Love the style!

I feel the Bluray future is linked to Sony largely. If they decide to stop physical media with a PS6, that might be a critical hit to the target group still caring about physical media. It might become a niche format for enthusiasts with less releases than DVD, like Laserdisc in the 80s/90s.

That's so annoying. I treated myself to Loki s1&2 because I truly love that series... but paying premium for additional 4k blurays I can't use feels so redundant.
For the rest, I hope for cheaper collections way down the line (unless physical media finally dies out.. urks).

Ja, die Bubble der "coolen Tech Nerds" in den USA ist geplatzt. Sehr viele sehr finstere Gestalten. Passt, dass sie jetzt alle, die irgendwie 'anders' sind, wieder rausdrängen wollen im neuen Amerika :( Und so viele (nicht alle immerhin) in Gehorsam Trump und Musk 🫣

It truly was a moment of awe for me. I really thought "this is it, it does not need to get any better than this." (Coming from N64 (which is fine ofc), Gameboy Color and low spec PCs.)

Ich fand lustigerweise Yakuza 5/6/0/Kiwami visuell am ansprechensten. Ja, die Lichter sind hübscher in den neuen Main-Series Teilen, aber die wirkten irgendwie so clean und polished.
Ishin! wirkt teilweise etwas unausgereift, so als ob man mit Beleuchtung & Effekten noch nicht so perfekt klar kam.

Cooking is the responsibility I have to bear as the director. Many will die if I fail. This can not be allowed. I do not know how much longer I can go on like this.
