Zenless Zone Zero is free yet it’s still overpriced.

With that state of play, it seems like Sony is making an effort to invest in high-spectacle action games. While over saturation of any genre can lead to audience burnout, I think this is ultimately a good idea. It’s an underserved niche that has the potential to really show off the hardware.

I know this isn’t an original observation, but Trump and MAGA really do use the words “woke” and “dei” the exact same way that the Nazis used the word “Jewish”

Man… I regret to report that NG2 Black kinda sucks. Not only does it lack the content from the original release, but it makes the game much easier. I should not have breezed through Master Ninja as easily as I did. I’d recommend Sigma 2 over this.

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

Idk about that Ninja Gaiden 4 trailer. Platinum’s output hasn’t been great recently, and I’m not sure if they’ll be able to capture the nuances of NG’s gameplay. Also, the Izuna Drop looks weirdly janky.

I’m playing Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge. The final boss is one of the worst things ever put into a game. I’d rather fight the Savior from DMC4

I regret to report that First Berserker Khazan sucks. It plays like a pastiche of a bunch of random popular combat mechanics slapped into one package, only to end up having no more depth than something like your standard Dark Souls combat.

Just saw the ending of Suicide Squad: KTJL. I don’t think we should let Rocksteady off the hook for this. Live service is a scam and developers aren’t stupid. Rocksteady knowingly took their fans for a ride. I think we should regard them the same way one regards a used car salesman.

RIP, he’s doing the weather reports in the afterlife now. We’ll never see another like him. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Okay, so for anyone who’s considering buying a live service game, here’s a process designed to avoid making that mistake. 1. Go on Steam 2. Buy Metal Slug X 3. Play Metal Slug X If this process is done right, you will have an awesome time and completely forget about the live service.

Just beat Echo Point Nova. It has some fun mechanics, but overall I found it disappointing compared to Severed Steel. I felt that the decision to make the game open world really diluted the combat.

Played the demo for Lies of P. It was decent, but I’m getting really annoyed with melee action games where spacing basically doesn’t matter at all. You can literally just stand in one place and parry all the bosses’ attacks and you never have to move.

Just beat Resident Evil 2 Remake. It was okay. Lil’ overrated imo.

Just beat Lost in Random. Good game! It’s a good example of using a limited budget wisely. Also, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Is it weird that I feel less weird when playing Postal 2 than I do when I play GTA V?

Just saw Sonic 3. It was decent, but I’m probably not going to see the next one.

Man, I want to have hope for the new Superman movie, but I really hate the “broody” Superman that he’s become ever since Man of Steel. I really don’t get the appeal.

Why did no one talk about Lost in Random? Got it today for like 3 bucks and it’s awesome. Reminds me of Folklore

Love the new Digital Circus episode lol. Probably my favorite so far.

WAIT, CLOVER STUDIOS IS BACK?!?!???! WHY ARE PEOPLE NOT TALKING MORE ABOUT THIS????!??

Also, Elden Ring Nightreign looks awesome

If Hideki Kamiya winds up directing the next Devil May Cry I will… idk play it and enjoy it I guess

I want the naughty dog game. I want want want want it.

But seriously though, why? Dark and Gritty Pac-Man is like the least appealing concept I’ve ever heard of.

BROOOOO THEY JUST ANNOUNCED A DARK AND GRITTY PAC MAN REBOOT WHERE HE KILLS PEOPLE. I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RN THIS IS THE MOST LUDICROUS THING IVE EVER SEEN

Just watched Three Colors: Red for the first time. Wonderful film. A great meditative piece on life and how people’s lives intersect.

Heck with it, past decade of Sonic games ranked: 8. Sonic Boom (1/10) 7. Team Sonic Racing (4/10) 6. Sonic Forces (4/10) 5. Sonic Dream Team (6/10) 4. Sonic Frontiers (6/10) 3. Sonic Superstars (7/10) 2. Shadow Generations (8/10) 1. Sonic Mania (9/10)

Finally got around to playing Shadow Generations. I think I like it more than Sonic Generations. More than a great sequel, it’s just a great platformer. I like the emphasis on air movement and skips. There’s genuine depth to the movement, and it’s utilized pretty well.

Remnant 2 might have the best boss lineup of any recent action game.

Atlyss is a fun game. The furries ate with this one tbh

The game awards are stupid and completely incompatible with video games as an art form. There is no “game of the year.” Game genres are so divergent and require such different techniques that there’s no way to compare the quality between them. What do Metaphor and Balatro have to do with each other?

House of the Dead rules btw

For context, I’m talking about these two

Why do I have these animals just living in my house lol

Ok, I’ve been playing these two games kind of simultaneously for a bit and I think I’ve come to a horrible realization. I think I like Remnant 2 more than Elden Ring.
