Gloves

Started up a playthrough of Might & Magic 6: Mandate of Heaven. Somehow lost 8 hours to it yesterday.

Lol nerd.

I hereby submit that I will make a concerted effort to watch the movies put forward in this club.

Imagine.

I'm pretty chill with stuff like that lol.

To be fair to that joke though, it's very much a visual gag. It's not like they showed an erect penis and said "haha penis".

If you wanna try out netplay sometime lemme know, maybe we can get it working without it being too laggy.

I do, actually.

They already got two chances to entice myself and others. If you didn't like the first two why would you even give the time of day to the third? By that point it's easy to say "these just aren't for me" and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

I don't play the third game in a series when I didn't like the first two. I'm not a sucker lol.

So by the *third* game they got it right. Well ain't that peachy lol. Shame I didn't play the third game cuz the first and second weren't so dialed in. It's almost like they learned from their design mistakes.

In a racing game you can see the corner coming, and/or there's usually some other visual aid to tell you a turn is about to take place in the form of signs or other visual cues. You explain away the crab with the spin while conveniently ignoring that the rock, spike, or bumper don't give a shit if I'm spinning.

They always come back.

Looking forward to Dawn Trail?

@Pats1717 fyi above.

Count me in; I don't touch the stuff, it tastes disgusting.

All of you arguing that the point is to go slow and get good at going fast are completely ignoring the way the game was advertised. To quote a video ad for the original game: "going fast is cool, going slow is not" (being sung in a hip rap song). The games were advertised as speed - you GOTTA go fast. The advertising and the reality are at odds. ANY game you can go fast with enough practice. I can speedrun Metal Gear Solid, a game about tactical espionage action. Practically anything can be played quickly. Sega ADVERTISED that you'd be going fast as a given, and failed to deliver on that promise. It doesn't even have cool fast SECTIONS for noobs to get a quick dopamine burst and to experience the speed to make you go "I want more!". Instead, every time they start you going fast via a loop or a tunnel you come out the other side and run straight into a rock or a crab placed directly in your path, creating frustration. It's okay game design paired with bad marketing which has put a sour taste in a lot of people's mouths. I wouldn't even mind if it was "this hedgehog is hella cool, and jumps and spins like a cool dude!", and then you can git gud and go fast and that's fun and rewarding. Instead we got "GOTTA GO FAST!" followed by "Lol LOSER you tried to go fast without memorizing the level first!".

Lol totally same vibes.

The guy doing the review has a slight UWU Kawaii to his speech - he pronounces "th" a "d" and "r" as "w" a lot. "Da primawy way you twaverse is in yo bawwel". (slight exaggeration for effect) Not enough that I think he's putting on an act, but enough that I feel English might not be his first language. Which is fine of course, but really caught me off guard.

M&M7 is one of those games I just keep on my computer no matter what.

Ding ding ding! This is it!

No, but you clearly know me well.
