F-Zero GX looks great on Switch 2. It’s cool you can remap buttons, too. I put boost on LB and it’s much better Still took me 3 attempts to win the first race on novice though 😭 This has to be one of the hardest games of all time

Partly wanted the box and cartridge, partly because the bundle wouldn’t ship until August My Switch 2 got here early! Just set up the HDR using that YT video and transferred data across. Now just need to wait for it to download 150,000 things I played Mario 64 quickly. Christening the Nintendo console right

I think fuck off

I’m soon going to be one of the cool kids again I was honestly going to wait longer but the Pikmin 4 loading times are so bad I was like ACTIVATE PURCHASING MODE

Cap constantly looks around at the modern world and goes “Why are all of you people terrible?” The name begets his subversive nature Superman’s catchphrase for the best part of a century was “Truth, justice and the American way” he is cliche American patriotism. And now the right could possibly turn on him because, even though he is meant to be representative of idealised American values, he is an immigrant. Quintessential MAGA.

Let’s watch MAGA turn against the most American superhero of all time lol

If they introduce a third button I promise to stop calling it a 2 button game I will proceed to call it a 3 button game Dualsense will have to work a bit harder

Alanah and another banger I want to play The Snatcher, it looks weird It’s been a long time since I thought about it, really, but Kojima really is a fucking GOAT

Do you think they’ll introduce a third button to the gameplay?

The first 3 words of the article are “The free update”

I think this is an interesting book maybe if you’re a collector but for real reading material not so much. Cool, though

Here’s a very late game cutscene where the game turns into Pacific Rim/Power Rangers lol

FF producer loved the game Looking forward to playing it when I get a Switch 2

I’m just going to drop like an Easter egg spoiler because it’s important to this thought There’s literally a guy in this game who says the line “Kept you waiting, huh?” and it’s not who you would think It reminds me when playing MGS5, which I thought was really great, but also thought it’s missing that Metal Gear-ness, and that must be intentional. Kojima must really want to make something different and get away from Metal Gear. Disappointing but understandable. I forget why he fell out with Konami over that game but my understanding is that the end of MGS5 is really hamstrung and he didn’t get to do what he wanted to do. Then you play Death Stranding 1 and go, oh, he really did want to do something different and get away from Metal Gear, clearly Then you play Death Stranding 2 and it makes me think the opposite. He loves that shit. If this is the type of crazy he had in mind but Konami cock blocked him on MGS5 and then being a high profile, but ultimately start up studio that had to have Monster energy sponsors to get the first Death Stranding done, he maybe never abandoned Metal Gear he just couldn’t make the game he wanted. Here there can be no doubt or pretence. It makes me think about the whole 10 years differently. Maybe he wasn’t trying to get away from all that MgS madness in MgS5, he literally was not aloud to make it. And maybe DS1 is this weird mixture of cutting edge tech and arthouse aspiration but that game was more limitations pushed it to be that But here the shackles are well and truly off and what you get is the return of that Metal Gear crazy and damn. This is not a MGS sequel, but it’s so good to see that kind of brilliance is still alive and kicking in Kojima Kept you waiting, huh? Since about 2008

Dude. There’s like 3 answers to that 1) The only part of this game that is like what you’re describing is the first 3 hours. Then you remember act 2 of the first game where it’s all roads and driving? Most of the game is that. Then act 3 of this game is MGS4, baby! Lol 2) This game is a sequel in game design with completely different intention. So it isn’t what you’re describing, and I’m still trying to process it, but it’s not failing it’s just different 3) I would say the first game is art and this game is action. Not that it’s all butt kicking by any means. But it’s just a faster game. It’s almost a shame in a way because there’s a lot of traditional video game stuff in this that people would enjoy but they’ll never get through this delivery boy simulator parts to see it. This game is entirely back loaded in that way The ending of this game is fucking mental. Genuinely brilliant, beautiful, unfiltered nonsense. This is as raw as indie x AAA I could imagine. Recently Kojima said he wanted to make a film. Hollywood will eat him alive, he could never do anything like this anywhere else. Not even the scale just the audacious, self indulgent ping pong between irreverence and heartfelt nonsense. It’s just fucking I don’t know man. This is easily his best game since MGS4. It kind of only shows itself in the last 5 hours or so, but boy does this guy still got it like no one else has got it. This is going to take me a long time to process. I’m just giddy. I don’t remember the last game I played that left me in a state of aftershock
