  It is pretty fun, and the movement is pretty slick too. I'm just past the part where you gain the ability to hang upside down and starting to encounter some different enemy types.

  Interesting take. I think difficulty wise, you're probably right. I don't have a whole lot of experience with the Ninja Gaiden series, but I know they're notoriously difficult. The reason I wasn't really into it was because of the way it controlled. Locked attack directions, enemy movements, etc. Everything about the movement felt very old school to me, and I just wasn't into it. ¯(ツ)/¯

  Personally, I didn't really enjoy ragebound. I'm hoping this one has a different and more modern feel to it.

  Mark of the ninja

  How much for a 2TB?

  Ha! I like that one 😁

  I don't know if it draws any inspiration from it, but my first thought was Jurassic park chaos island.

  Gotta blow on it first though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve finally upgraded the Steam trailer video player, re-encoding around 400,000 videos⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These are good improvements, but I still wish they would implement an expanded width theater mode for desktop. The default player size kind of sucks, and full screen isn't always a desirable alternative.

  This game looks incredible!

  Ha! That's accurate 😆

  No head, and it looks like there might even be ice in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghost of Yōtei's lo-fi beats mode sums up the very best and very worst of this very weird series⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright, I'll bite.

  That seems like a really narrow-minded take. It comes off as arrogant, or maybe even prejudiced. Why deprive yourself of an objectively great gaming experience just because of some convoluted ideal that you've made up?

  Also, if you really had zero interest, why even comment or be involved in the discussion at all?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: God of War⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ha, fair enough. I'm fairly sure it was the first game. I just looked up a video, I think it actually may have been the part where Aries throws a pillar at Kratos which impales him in the chest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's discuss: God of War⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I never beat the first one (I think it was the first one anyway...)

  The ps2 disc had a scratch on it and the game would freeze/crash when I got to a certain part. It was the cutscene where Kratos hurls a gigantic column if anyone remembers.

  I would like to eventually replay and beat that one game for some childhood redemption.

  I started playing the new god of war 2018 at one point, but couldn't really get into it at the time. There was(is) an oversaturation of viking focused content at the time and I was kind of burnt out on it by that point.

  I hear the new games are really good though, so I'd also like to give them an honest chance at some point.

  "cynically released"

  Ha! I like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo's free Switch 2 upgrades for key Switch 1 titles are remasters in all but name [Digital Foundry]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'll look forward to playing them in about 10 years probably.

  game looks cool. The minivan segments make me think of sly cooper

  From hitman apparently. It's in the article if you want to check it out 👍

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yooka-Replaylee | Demo Stinger Trailer | Play the Demo Now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Impossible Lair was a great game. To me, it felt like it was definitely it's own thing but inspired by the classics. I like what they're doing, even if YL was a bit of a miss apparently.
