Fair point. I should not have grouped Progressives with Liberals. But in the current US political landscape, Liberals tend to move policy forward even if they are only tiny incremental changes.

This makes a lot of sense actually. Conservative values represent upholding the status quo and at this exact moment that is how society works. So in the moment they see society following their values which makes them happy.

Progressives and Liberals are programmatic and critical of society and see things that could be better. That inherently makes you less happy with what’s going on around you since you can imagine a better world.

Yes ignorance is indeed bliss when it comes to being conservative.

I got a different take from this article. The economy doesn’t really play into the fact that games are so big today because you have to make it bigger than the previous one. Same with the console stats. Gotta make it more powerful. But we are at a point where most people can’t see the difference between PS5 and PS4. It’s going to be even less obvious when PS6 arrives.

I agree that it’s time for a hard reset.

I’ve been playing through Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Got it modded to look modern too so that’s been a really nice touch. New Vegas Reloaded is a bitch to get running but so worth it.

Fallout 3 was my very first Fallout and played it way back when it came out, then proceeded to skip new Vegas and played thru 4 back when that one released.

All this time I was time I was like damn, 3 is my favorite only because of nostalgia and actually ran a quick play thru back in April when all the Fallout hype started because of the TV show.

But I also bought New Vegas finally during this hype and am almost done with my first playthrough and wow I get why it’s considered the best Fallout game.

The RPG elements are perfection, the stories are so interesting and gameplay is challenging but fair. I’m so glad I can now understand all the hype behind this game.

Geezus the story isn’t ass. I know you prefaced with it just being your opinion, but with a charged comment like that’s it’s hard not to want to push back.

I asked my brother this who’s a huge fina fantasy fan and he says it’s the best story wise since 10. 13 is just boring, 15 is so convoluted and bloated. 12 is pretty good but the retread in Ivaice always felt like a cop out. 16 is the most consice FF story wise in years.

Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher

Cable is dying and they will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat until the last second

How about the fact that baby Metroid was so important it still comes up all the way into Metroid 5.

The US in nutshell here

Thanks for the list. I’ve been playing indie games for about 15 years and the retro inspiration has always been the best part about them. Graphics never mattered and it meant that gameplay was put first, just like the old days.

Interesting twist we got today

There have been rumors of a 2D Zelda too, so I have a feeling we see Zelda in this direct in some form.

Yeah I think this was the game that I’m most interested about from the showcase

I like the fact that Eggman is not the villain in this. I’d like to see more of this in future Sonic games. We’ve seen plenty of times where other videogame mascots have teamed up with their arch rivals to stop a greater threat.

If you want to try a more “modern” Zelda game that isn’t open world, twilight princess is a huge game.

There’s also Skyward Sword but it’s way too linear for my liking. The sword swinging stuff can be pretty cool though

Damn you, take my Internet points lol

You mean the old ones or all of the series? Skyward Sword, Breath and Tears are all very polished games.

It’s cool to hear someone say their favorite is TP. I always felt like it was OOT on steroids. Which in my opinion is a good thing. I wish TP had gotten more than an HD port of the original. Would love to see that get a facelift for the Switch with higher polygon count and his res textures.

I see we have a contrarian in our midst.
