The scream that gave birth to a whole genre.
Fascinating we got from here to mash to protect Earth. He doesn’t get enough credit for it because it’s not high art, but Kamiya’s writing actually did get better over the years.

Not much new for me this year.
I had a lot of fun with Soulstice, Assault Spy, Hi-Fi Rush, and Hellsinker.
NieR:Automata, The Surge, Death Stranding, and Scarlet Nexus were disappointing.
Every time I stepped ever so slightly outside my comfort zone I ended up regretting it. I will still flirt with action RPGs, but no more open world or soulslikes. If relatively linear action is not the core, I’m out.

I mean, if you can find and afford the games, yeah, buy them. Problem is most of the games people need to emulate are unavailable or astronomically expensive, and that’s even if you live in the west/Japan… if you leave in the rest of the world, forget it.
- Comment on Changing the language of “Hogwarts Legacy” 6 days ago:
How’s the action? It looked like you can launch people in the trailer and perform some kind of air combo. I doubt it leads to anything truly fun, but I’m curious.
- Comment on Changing the language of “Hogwarts Legacy” 6 days ago:
The game has been repacked by many people though. I don’t even know where to go to get it straight from the original person who cracked it.
- Comment on Changing the language of “Hogwarts Legacy” 6 days ago:
I’d rather sail the high seas than interact with Epic, TBH.
- Comment on What are some good games to play while sick? 6 days ago:
I replay games I’m intimately familiar with so I can just autopilot and chill.
I am more likely to watch a movie or binge a show when I’m sick than play a video game though. Sometimes I read a comic book if my eyes are OK or listen to an audiobook.
- Comment on Evo Japan and Las Vegas 2026 lineups announced 1 week ago:
Missing Persona, but I’m happy for the BBCF crowd, and having Vampire Savior on the big stage is super cool.
I’ve been considering picking up Gran Blue for some time now, so maybe I’ll watch that.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Same. I’m often in the process of breaking down why I like/dislike the game, what works about it, and what doesn’t as I’m playing. I can’t give honest feedback with incomplete thoughts.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
How often do people leave reviews? I rarely see a profile with +100 reviews.
I only leave reviews after 100% completion or a lot of time (hundreds of hours) in case of fighting games where sometimes 100% is ridiculously difficult to attain (oh hi, Plus R)
I think the average time between my picking up a game and leaving a review is like 3~12 months. Definitely even more if I’m not vibing with the game.

The Rogue Legacy people made an actual roguelike, damn. Good for them.
- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 2 weeks ago:
You got anything action? I’m only aware of Lost Soul Aside.
Genokids and Spirit X Strike are indie in Early Access, and I’d be hesitant to qualify Ninja Gaiden 4 as AA.
I’ve probably come across a couple of other indies along the way, but AFAIK, that’s the whole year.
I was psyched Fatal Fury is back until freaking Cristiano Ronaldo showed up 😂 I was never an SNK fan and I’m still knees deep into other fighting games anyway so that’s alright.
- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 2 weeks ago:
I’m not impressed by either. I want AA games back.

Dodge offset from Bayonetta, boost from Vanquish, and make your own moveset from God Hand.
- Comment on Epic boss Tim Sweeney thinks stores like Steam should stop labelling games as being made with AI: 'It makes no sense,' he says, because 'AI will be involved in nearly all future production 3 weeks ago:
This is like Jared Leto giving Daniel Day-Lewis acting advice 😂
Go back in your hole, Tim.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 1 month ago:
🎶 Assassin’s Creed is a good franchise 🎶
- Comment on Unbelievably, we have a choice of kaiju clean-up games 1 month ago:
Yeah, I thought this was dope.
We don’t have enough good Kaiju games, IMO. Inaba robbed us of Project G.G. or Kamiya messed up, IDK. But they need to work it out and finish that project at some point.
Maybe Clovers can buy the IP if Okami 2 is a hit, who knows. I doubt Platinum would mind.

Having to grovel to lower the difficulty in God Hand.
- Comment on Rockstar Just Fired Over 30 Employees From UK and Canada in an Attempt of Union-Busting 1 month ago:
Right, and for there next trick they’re gonna break the all-time sales record with GTA6 because no one gives a fuck and evil is just OK now.
- Comment on Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Remaster, now on GOG 1 month ago:
I wish they start supporting regional pricing and more currencies.
- Comment on Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI' 1 month ago:
Bruh, I still haven’t bought the first game because I don’t wanna give money to Microsoft… now I won’t buy the sequel because I don’t wanna give money to Krafton. Madness.

I hate this so much because I love em dashes and have been using them forever.
- Comment on ‘I’ve never used it and probably never will’: Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu says he won’t use AI to make music [VGC] 1 month ago:
I think it could be useful in edge cases and the user needs to be skilled at whatever they’re using it for.
Reality is it is predominantly used by rich assholes to cut corners and get around hiring and paying workers.
- Comment on Ninja Gaiden 4 | Review Thread 1 month ago:
Thank you for putting this together.
Consensus seems weak environmental design, mediocre graphics, and awesome combat—more Platinum than TN, which fans more or less predicted from the pre-release footage. As a Platinum fan myself, I don’t mind that, but I see why this can annoy the Itagaki faithful.
I’ve seen Steam reviews bring up some performance issues most critic reviews didn’t, but apart from that, I’m satisfied with the reception enough to add it to my wishlist. It’s such a nice feeling knowing there’s a new action game waiting to be bought and played. We don’t get to experience this feeling nearly enough.
Hopefully, Onimusha and Okami 2 will follow suit and we’ll get a DMC6 announcement soon.
- Comment on Sony accuses Tencent of playing a 'shell game' with its Horizon-like survival game, seeks a preliminary injunction against it 1 month ago:
From Software could kill the entire soulslike genre with one lawsuit. Like, just pick the biggest non-From Software soulslike and sue the publisher.
- Comment on Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? 2 months ago:
I feel like this shit is cyclical. Like, we’ve been here before and we’ll be here again.
The question is: are we ever going to evolve past this nonsense before we go extinct. Historically speaking, the answer has always been “probably not”
We’re just getting closer and closer to the end so it’s more frightening now, I feel.
- Comment on Legendary developer Tomonobu Itagaki, creator of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden 2004, has died 2 months ago:
Reportedly, Itagaki was an alcoholic and chainsmoker. I don’t think he cared much to live long and, TBH, his games reflected it. I can’t think of anything more YOLO in gaming than that staircase fight in NGII. Man designed a fight to break the console and bragged about it.
- Comment on Legendary developer Tomonobu Itagaki, creator of Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden 2004, has died 2 months ago:
Controversial figure. IDK if I ever liked him, TBH. Even though he was cleared of the sexual harrasment charges, he still admitted to having an affair… and he gave us one of the best action games of all-time. Weird guy.
Hopefully, he’s at peace now and whoever was affected by his weird life decisions is at peace as well.
Now that he’s dead, will Team Ninja and Tecmo stop holding vanilla NGII hostage out of spite?
- Comment on What is the most overrated game gamers hype up? 2 months ago:
Fuck, I don’t like most video games so I can throw a rock and hit one, but I’m gonna go with the genres I like just to make it interesting.
Fighting games: Mortal Kombat—I’m sorry, I like the hyper violence as much as the next guy, but the gameplay doesn’t do it for me at all. Entertaining to watch, but it stops there for me.
Action games: Suda51 overall. Like, play No More Heroes but steer clear of the rest. It’s mediocre combat wrapped in nonstop nonsense.
Shmups: ZeroRanger. I can’t stand that game.
- Comment on Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game - Official Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
It has been getting better though, no? Hasn’t Under Night registration numbers been higher than MK for the last two Evos? I don’t necessarily wish failure for MK as a competitive game, but it seems they’re happy cashing in on the casual appeal more than anything else.
Maybe this new Warner Bros. gaming division shake up will lead to a new direction, who knows what the future holds.
