Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

Between the weird reveal video of RFA and the explainer video:
me with an unhinged rant
the abyss
What I expected: a trailer for a weird new WarioWare that used a weird ring controller
What I got: a look at the people who will someday eat me alive

I still have nightmares about That Man
I still regret not buying the extra kits after loving the blaster. I hear the wind pedal of all things was particularly great.Oh yeah? Explain this!
Regarding the first one, most VR setups have pretty normal headphones or just let you use your own. You can still, like, hear the outside world lol. You're barely any less aware of your surroundings than you are sitting at a desk in front of a monitor with headphones on (which is why @Raccoon's posts are admittedly rather lost on me, as they describe something that doesn't match my actual experience). And if you do decide you need to see, turning on the camera feed or just lifting the headset takes half a second.
The other ones are entirely rational tho. While SteamVR (and I assume most/all modern systems) have a neat wireframe overlay that comes up to show you the edge of your defined play space, it doesn't help much when you're reaching somewhere you're not looking. I've 100% slammed my friend's bedroom ceiling with a Vive wand. It didn't hurt me, but we were concerned about the controller for a minute.

vr is just a single facet of the hell we are barreling towards
I think my other problem(?) is that this world view is something I'm incapable of resonating with, but that's a discussion I probably shouldn't be getting into when I'm trying to turn my phone off for the night lol.

Tonight after work, I watched Batman Returns for the first time and achieved 100% completion in Mumbo Mountain, Treasure Trove Cove, and Bubblegloop Swamp in Banjo-Kazooie. Batman Returns was awesome imo, and it feels so good to be playing Banjo with an N64 controller for the first time in 17 years, thanks to NSO.
Now to beat Halo Infinite, alternate between Pikmin 3 and Banjo, and watch Batman Forever over the weekend.

Lots of misinformation spread around VR I see.
Sometimes it is best to take a step back and to learn about things you are not familiar with.
I have a lot of reservations about its current implementation but :
1. The Oculus Quest 2 has been one of the hottest item this Holiday season.
2. Nintendo entered the VR market with the Virtual Boy 30 years ago and released a VR device with Labo. They even patched their biggest games to support it.
3. Play Beat Saber, and tell me it is not the kind of experience you would hope to see the industry never stop making.

I am so hyped for Arceus ya'll don't understand!!!
Seems like Nintendo has been marketing it a lot more recently (which makes 100% sense), like I even got an email saying the game is gonna release on midnight 28th jan so order it! (jokes on them I already did π

But I don't recall getting those type of emails for other games unless I've subconsciously been ignoring them so far. XD

re: VR
Half-Life Alyx was the kind of transformative experience that I always imagined VR to be but the feeling of being tethered to a computer with some kind of mental umbilical cord was alienating as hell. And since Facezuck seems to be the only one interested in providing a good standalone device, I'll just have to sit this one out for the time being.

I love Breath of the Wild, but playing past Zelda titles has made me miss two small conventions which should never have been dropped:
1) an interesting title screen. The two N64 games, and Twilight Princess, are probably Peak Title Intros for me. Wind Waker is pretty nifty, too. For Breath of the Wild, the title screen could have been something like the initial title reveal at E3 2016; the logo appears with a different section of the overworld in view each time.
2) Chest fanfare. Obviously, the sheer number of chests in BotW means the chest fanfare being present isn't feasible. But surely for more significant chests, this can be a thing.

There is though, if one wanders long enough in Hyrule Castle. Another level under that is when you acquire gears.

Where the news about Sonic Origins, SEGA?! It's the only saving grace for this year from them (can't find myself to invest confidence in Frontiers); Hoping they won't screw up a very simple concept such as a compilation...
I wish they did a more a complete package tho.. with Game Gear/Master System games, and other stuff that never got re-released like Knuckles' Chaotix, but I'm taking an official way to play Sonic 3 in widescreen, I suppose...

Phew. Grinding for Lv50 Skells ain't no easy feat.
Xenoblade question: How does 2 compare against the first game and X respectively? Which one does it lean heavier towards? Is it a good game for someone who didn't like the first game but adoooooores X?
just curious.

2 is definitely closer to the original, in that it has large environments but is much more linear and narrative driven rather than being more open ended and systems driven like X.
Hopefully X gets a Definitive Edition down the line.

Wasn't expecting this Christian Donlan piece about Animal Crossing to resonate with me so much. I acutely know what he's talking about because I know roughly at what point the New Horizons went from "oh gee this is neat" to "I may have a problem" for me.

This was a pretty good read. Some of the feelings he expresses here and this dichotomy between "being and earning" is what ultimately made me appreciate BotW more than Odyssey due to the former's freedom expression and the latter's breadcrumb approach to handing out rewards and stringing the player along. Not to say that that either game is better than the other but it made me understand some of the issues players had with New Horizons.

maybe Iβm misunderstanding this post but likeβ¦ how?
I really thought by now the deep concernβ’ about the dark futureβ’ was kind of global knowledge and zeitgeist, and after two years of COVID everyone was at least a little painfully aware
like weβre faced with increasing and not especially precedented crises, wealth disparity blasting past the Jupiterβs rings, and the people who have an unconscionable amount of social and fiscal capital want to send their cars to Mars, start luxury space hotels, or make more fake layers of world to sell you fake shit in, all to steal your face and know your secrets so it can more effectively sell you more fake shit. None of it faces inwards when the inner crises are boiling over.
Weβve watched Facebookβs approach kill credibility and fuel misinformation. This has directly fueled actual genocides.
Weβve watched Musk throw shit into space for fun while employees literally die on his floors, overworked and underpaid, literally discouraged from going to hospitals because itβs a bad look!! let alone all the crypto chaos and how many of his βsolutionsβ to global warming create different mining crises or donβt consider the public βrealβ or plan for actual urban planning that considers the needs of actual people (see The Boring Company)
Weβve watched Bezos make multiple additional fortunes off of heinous labor abuses day by day by day while ignoring the safety of workers enough to tell them to keep fucking working during tornadoes and die for his billions, all so he can put on his little cowboy hat and ride in a rocket
And then we watched all of that happen in a global pandemic where we got to see exactly how much the profits of wealthy people are worth β our lives. all of them. millions of lives. supported at all levels of government, us dying for their stupid money hoarding and labor abuse
Reaganβs chickens have come home to roost baybee
and these are the people who have built or bolstered what will become the metaverse, crypto / NFTs, and the VR landscape to come
computers were originally made to help people in the world and now weβre so far beyond that first step that weβre not solving real world problems anymore
weβre getting cyberserfed
so our entertainment can be harvested all while being sold even dumber shit than before, still dying for their money knowing no one in power will even try to keep us from dying as the earth tries to shrug us off for our crimes
let alone our own folly
and let alone opportunistic viruses and the opportunistic viruses in suitjackets that keep them circulating and growing because having ungodly sums of money is more important than not slaughtering the working class
so whatever degree of that @Raccoon actually meant⦠no amount of concern for the future resonates with you?

Late to the game, but I'd love to see more of Phantasy Star and Sonic games show up.
As part of your wild card list, Earthworm Jim or Wily Wars would be great gets. One day I do need to go through the classic Mega Man games (only to now realize none are with NSO
)For wild cards that don't have a snowball's chance in hell, more people should get to experience Zero Wing (not just for the memes, but it actually is a half decent shmup), and I'd love to see Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team (but that's talking licensing between Tradewest and Rare, and then entirely dependent on if it's Genesis or SNES; I can't see why they'd want to release both platforms of the game when they're functionally identical). I also wouldn't mind Rock n Roll Racing, but I just found out it was released last year February as part of the Blizzard Arcade Release for $20 (along with The Lost Vikings and Blackthorne); I doubt they'll be making a third of that package redundant

Keep us posted! How did you end up liking Chapter 4 in the end?
I can't believe I didn't hallucinate this entire movie and that it's an actual mainstream studio release from the 90s. Priceless.
Honestly...I could see it becoming my favorite (though The Batman is looking INCREDIBLE imo). The villains were terrific, Bruce and Selina had amazing chemistry, and the movie was like a twisted fever dream holiday movie.

Sometimes easy to lose sight of how many options there are to access games these days, but right now, my in-progress and to start gaming is:
And starting next, once I've cleared one or two of the above:
Good stuff. Just need to get a few of them finished before Triangle Strategy.
- Dungeon Encounters on Switch, a download only new IP from classic Final Fantasy designers.
- Psychonauts 2, a new release and sequel to a cult classic, accessed through Game Pass on Xbox Series S.
- Zelda: Ocarina of Time, emulated release through my NSO subscription and one of the all time greats.
And starting next, once I've cleared one or two of the above:
- Lost Odyssey, 2008 JRPG from er, classic Final Fantasy designers, played through backwards compatibility on Series S.
- No More Heroes 3, new (2021) sequel to cult classics.
