  1. Yes it has become an industry standard following the release of the 9th gen consoles.
  2. Mainly action games though, I can't really speak on games like TLOU2 or GOT since I don't play them. You had so many masterpiece gems like Ghostrunner, DOOM Eternal, Devil May Cry V: Special Edition, Hades and Streets of Rage 4 that came out that year. Id even say Godfall was pretty decent, as much as people like to bash that game on the internet.
  3. I couldnt really figure what my favourite game was until Ghostrunner came along in 2020 and decided for me.
  4. If you're neglecting real life duties because of it.
  5. It has brought a lot of people into gaming i'd imagine. Other than that I dont think it had that big of a lasting impact on the industry. Most of the influence COVID had on the gaming industry were temporary and were reversed when the pandemic ended in 2022, like the shortage of next gen consoles and the constant delays in the 2020-2022 period.

  7. Generally, I am not really a fan of this art style. Mainly as I would rather see the proportions and facial expressions of the characters in the game as well as the sense of scale of the world or levels. You don't have a clear picture of what the surroundings and how events play out in detail. I also think it doesn't look too appealing aesthetically, which is only natural since this style is about emulating the blocky, less colourful look of retro games. However, I cannot deny that there are a few instances of pixel art style visuals which look very easy on the eyes such as Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy.
  8. Hack n Slash, 2D Fighting games are my most favourite. I also like JRPGs, Arena Shooters and Roguelikes.
  9. You definitely should. I know it gets tiresome near the end with ultima and his primo-genesis shenanigans but the finale is absolutely bonkers! You won't regret it. FF7 rebirth definitely looks like an improvement from remake since its not on rails anymore. But I will be getting granblue fantasy relink instead which launches the same month.
  10. I am cycling between Rogue Legacy 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles DE at the moment. RL2 is a lot of fun albeit very repetitive. I just started XCDE and its sort of a mixed bag so far.
  11. Yeah pretty much this. What I meant was obscure but loyal followings instead of the most popular followings.
  12. I dont aim to get collectibles. I dont really see much of a point for most of them.
  13. I steer towards scepticism although part of me wants to blindly believe a rumor or leak if it sounds satisfactory.
  14. Like how the Wii's main feature was motion controls, the Wii U's was a tablet screen and the Switch's was it's hybrid gaming capabilities, which feature might Nintendo implement in their long awaited successor to the Switch?
  15. I don't think gaming has been influential enough to shape our cultural norms in any way. Some people may say it has caused people to become addicted to screens 24/7 or they are making people violent but those were issues that were in play before gaming became mainstream.
  16. Yes. Granblue Fantasy Relink looks like it will be another example of this. The game is being marketed as a co-op RPG where you can tackle quests with friends or other people online yet the story is only slated to be 20 hours long, which is only about half the length of an average JRPG. From the footage available, the actual storytelling seems like it's treated as an aftetthought as well, just context for the player to unlock new characters and quest locations during their journey.
  17. - A consistent routine. If i'm grinding to get to a certain rank in a fighting game, I would make sure I play at least X amount of hours each day. - Goals to be achieved within a realistic timeframe. Reaching "X" rank in Y game within Z amount of days. - Playing against people that are better than me, even if it feels frustrating losing repeatedly and a lot of the time, tedious. - Spending a decent amount of time in training mode to sharpen up my skills and muscle memory.
  18. Tales of Symphonia. The game just didn't connect with me at all. Some of it is due to age and technical limitations but some design choices I found very frustrating.
