I'm loving TLOU 2, but it is very similar to its predecessor in so many ways. Maybe I should have played the first one right before to really see the difference, but it even looks pretty much like what I remember from the original, though I'm sure the textures are much smoother. 

Anyway, the story so far is definitely intriguing to me but I doubt I'll wind up saying it is the best game story ever made. Never say never though. 

I always felt the Mega Man games had that vibe to them. Even the X series, while darker, definitely had cool futuristic scenery and hopeful characters. Even though I'm personally loving TLOU 2, I totally get what you mean. 

I think Horizon might potentially fit your description since I only remember murdering robot dinosaurs in that one.

Only R&C I've ever played is renting Going Commando on PS2 and the remake of the original (which apparently is not much like the original) I own for PS4. 

But having dealt with motion controls in Dreams on PS4 recently, I can only imagine how horrid the motion controls in a PS3 title when it was new enough that anyone would have given a crap about Sixaxis control. 

Is it the first or second Ace Ventura with Cannibal Corpse? 

And I bet I'd still like most of "One Hot Minute." To my knowledge I've only heard Aeroplane, but I like that song. There are probably one or two singles I don't realize are from that album I like. 

I think Red Box might have removed a lot of its video game services. It was only ever a handful of AAA titles anyway ... as Justin is now saying as I type this. Anyway, I'm using GameFly to do something I haven't done in a LONG time: specifically keeping a game out just to beat it (The Last of Us 2). But now I'm enjoying it enough I might just buy it anyway and have them send me Crash Team Racing or Control. We'll see. 

Also, damn, I miss EGM so much too and remember Dan Hsu and Seanbaby and those comics with the dudes in black garb I cannot remember the name of (though I think one of them was named after Dan "Shoe" Hsu). Such great times. Trying to find this exchange between you and Hsu on Twitter. You have a link to it? 

SPLIT SECOND

God, I want NFS: Burnout. I don't agree with "I'll buy one but not the other." I'll shell ALL the money out. 

I also check the list only after I get a certain amount of trophies. I actually checked Sonic Forces cause I felt I was getting a trophy for EVERYTHING ... then I looked and I was only 15% done and there were tons of 0.03% rarity trophies. Damn, Sonic Forces. But I also wonder if there are some cases in which trophies are not hard to get, there just isn't more than 0.03% of the population willing to play a certain game enough. 

Here's an idea: Anime Wrestling Mutant League Football 2021: Pandemic Edition. Only on Steam. 

Justin, do you realize how many of my emotional issues could be solved by being an asexual? You lucky dog. You lucky, lucky dog ... 

Skyblazer looks so cool. Still remember that Game Grumps series wondering why the hell I never heard of it. On the note Angelo brings up, I miss developers having to be creative due to limitations in general. The PS5 hype where they talk about developers basically being able to do whatever the fuck they want actually made it sound less exciting to me? Mostly cause to me it sounds like that will cause them all to try to do the same thing. But I loved the diversity of that PS5 reveal lineup so I'm hoping I'm wrong about that. 

I think I might just buy the new Shantae ... depending on price. 

Yonder looks awesome. 

The first one has a different hit box than 2 or 3 for some reason, but they're all pretty tough. I got stuck on the tiger level in 3, unless I beat that one, in which case I got stuck on the next stage probably. Even though I have zero nostalgia for the actual series, it definitely reminded me how challenging platformers could be in good and bad ways (often simultaneously with the good and badness). 

Spyro might actually be what I'm needing to play right now. Seems like a good distraction. 

Yeah, I really liked the first one, mainly for the story. We'll see if I'm in the right headspace for TLOU 2. Either I'll love how dark it is, or I'll need a distraction like Crash Team Racing instead, which is next in my Q. We'll see. 

You do get to upgrade your cycle, so maybe it gets better but I sent it back and am receiving TLOU 2 soon. 

The only reason I kept Days Gone is cause other people told me it gets better, but the whole point of me having GameFly is to see if a game grabs *me*, and there's just too much to play for me to keep going on a game I'm not really enjoying. Also, they mentioned the STORY being the best part, so I can watch YouTube clips if I ever get the urge.

I'm very close to doing that for Horizon, but I'm torn cause I actually really like Horizon's gameplay too. It's just some of the bosses take too damn long and I'd rather not be repeating the same tactics for an hour (I'm sure I'm going in with the wrong equipment, but I think some of it could be better explained).
