Video Games...Discuss Them

I'm really thrilled that Native 4K and 60 FPS is on the horizon apparently. At least for Forza 7.

There's a good chance I'm gonna get a 65" OLED 4K TV in the coming weeks.

This was the highlight of the night

Capcom Announces Monster Hunter World for PS4. Early 2018

Never played this game, but apparently this franchise is huge and it being on PS is a big deal. I think it's also coming to PC too.

[Dukefrukem]

Weird. They made a Final Fantasy VR fishing game called Monsters of the Deep. lol.

lol

[Morris Schæffer]

Yes, it's really funny, but I heard those typical Metroid-esque sounds and my ears perked up. Then I saw the 4, and I remembered that Corruption was #3, so hm.

They call this a dealmaker. I now have to get a Switch.

The fog in Mario Odyssey's New Donk level is ugly. It's like the background isn't even completed and is just placeholder.

Yep, time for me to start setting aside money.

YOU GUYS THERE'S A SECOND METROID COMING

I'm so sorry for the all-caps, but this is what it felt like in 2002 Nintendo said, "It's been eight years, have two of them."

[Dukefrukem]

So that might be the biggest E3 announcement this year. Nintendo wins E3?

Without showing fuck all.

It's a new team, not Retro but same producer as MP 1-3.

I've never been more intrigued by the Switch. I do love me some Metroid.

[Skitch]

What are everyones thoughts on the Metroid Prime series? I adored part one, immediately jumped to part two and quit after a couple hours (felt it was redux of one with parallel levels to make it an annoying maze). Part three has been on shelf for years.

[TGM]

Really dug the hell out of the first game, thought the third game was alright. I actually never got around to playing the 2nd one.

I also know I'm in the huge minority on this, but I absolutely loved Other M. God damn that game was such a damn good game, and by far my favorite game on the Wii (in fact, it might be the only game on the system that I actually liked, outside of Wii Sports. The Wii fucking sucked, y'all), yet everyone else seems to hate it.

I don't know how we'd even begin to have a conversation about Other M. Apart from the charge pickups and post-game exploratory phase, I despised it.

I have probably never before felt a more profound sense of exploration than in those games. I'm talking hairs on the back of your neck stuff, like Indiana Jones in the map room discovering the location of the arc of the covenant.

Admittedly, I skipped the 2nd one, but part 3 is a classic, just like the first one. Love the pervasive sense of loneliness during my travels, the desolate beauty on display, the stunning control methods with the lock on function and the tough, but awe-inspiring boss encounters. And yes, the Wii's control methods added a totally chill icing on the cake.

Knowing what I know now, and that you adored part I, I must respectfully inform you that it's a mistake not playing part 3.

Remasters of all 3 for the Switch would not be unwelcome.
