Not seeing Transistor but if you want a female protagonist that will make you cry your eyes out at the end, I recommend her.
Games As Literature 101 has a documentary that goes into a deep dive about Red as a character.
Also some people used Red’s song from Transistor as a wedding song 😃
Now you can play as a tedious weapon shop owner lol.
I vaguely recall reading DQ3 players in Japan loved the merchant in the early game so much they made it more of a thing on future outings
Shenmue is a good example, I was hyped for it back in the Dreamcast days. I’m fairly certain we have quick time events to thank shenmue for popularizing, for better or for worse.
For better because wonderful 101 created the greatest quick time event of all time
That and gave Ed his microwave hamster. I even tried to stay up late to watch the Maniac Mansion TV show but didn’t understand the VCR too much
There are mods to make JPT much more playable I recall if you ever tried to take another crack at it.
And it had some very clever immersion but just needed more tweaking to reach Dead Space levels of HUD without HUD kind of play
Arguably the Sid Meier’s Civ board game was ahead of it’s time easily. But 4x board games today so remarkably well, and the latest Sid Meier board games can’t seem to catch up anymore sales wise to 4x board games
I rented Populous for SNES as a kid but they didn’t have a manual so that was a pretty tough one to figure out.
Played the crap out of Maniac Mansion but didn’t realize it was before the PC point and click craze
I recall reading on how they were able to make the map and was rather impressive. I love seeing how devs find some creative way to overcome a technical hurdle.
As far as franchised products based films it’s very rewatchable and I imagine will be a comfort movie on the future.
Id put it just a little below the Lego Movie for quality for what’s essentially an advertisement movie. No complaints however.
As a D&D fan it hits the sweet spots of references but not to feel like it’s pandering (see Super Mario Movie). What they add is at least relevant somehow. For a die hard D&D fan you can feel the die rolls going on in the movie.
I imagine Hasbro will kill or ruin Studio One somehow which is a shame I would want more of these kind of D&D movies
Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?
I get it’s a loss leader to increase Steam software purchases, but would be neat to know how much of any they earn per deck.
