This is still the best GTA game, imo. I’ve had people tell me for years that um actually GTA V’s map is bigger, but San Andreas really feels like 2 or 3 times the size of V. Not just because of the massively varied world space, but because of how jam packed the world is with goodies for you to discover. I had already beaten the game by the time I found out about the courier missions and horse betting. The fact that you could go into almost any interior in the game for optional robbery missions, even if they were just the same few interiors recycled, really made the map feel lived-in. They did a perfect job of giving the game a massive sense of scale without making the world so big that half of the missions are just driving for miles on end. This is definitely subjective, but I think the car physics are the best in the series, too. GTA V has extremely fluid driving, don’t get me wrong, but San Andreas has that perfect balance between realistic weight and arcadey gameplay. You can turn on a dime, but you’re probably going to roll your car. Still the longest GTA story, too. Did you know the casino heist missions are completely optional?

Thank you for clarifying! My brain could only see this as an excerpt and I was not able to seperate it from the assumed rest of the sentence.

Back 4 Blood.

You know what, it’s not Left 4 Dead 3, but I love it. It feels like L4D meets Call of Duty. The card system really makes the game for me; building better decks to play higher difficulties with more chaotic corruption cards.

The corruption cards especially make levels so much more replayable than they already would be. Getting fog over a level or a different type of ridden mutation appearing spices things up nicely.

It’s also extremely beautiful at points. I love the graphical style. It’s colorful and a tad cartoonish at points, with some genuinely disgusting visuals and insane ruins thrown in for good measure.

I wouldn’t buy it for full price, but the $9.99 I paid for the full game + DLC was more than worth it, in my opinion.

Gender Bender!

EDIT: It’s Bend Her… I like my pun more :P

Gotta get that Femmzoil

He has got to only be saying this because Starfield DLC did poorly. The audience moves on if the game isn’t interesting. Personally, I buy all the DLC for games I enjoy. I don’t know many people that don’t either.

Yeah, let’s make the military great again! Just like in Full Metal Jacket!

Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam

Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.

Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It’s extremely buggy, but luckily there’s a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it’s essentially feature-complete. There’s a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.

Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I’d just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?

LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.

NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don’t care if it’s up-to-date. It’s the best sports game period.

I feel extremely lucky, I got to see them during the Sessanta tour, and again just a few months ago. I know they’ll get a great replacement, but the trio of Les, Ler, and Herb is something really special. Herb is one of the greatest to ever do it!

Primus sucks!

Oh, kinda like how Super Mario Land deals with the small screen? That’s awesome!

What sets this apart from Super Mario Bros DX?

God forbid we… checks notes preserve games so we can play them?

The kids who watched Titanic with their parents are growing up and making movies now

Oh, sorry, I wasn’t super clear - never met an alt-righter with a clean room, no matter what JBP tells them.

The Lord also gave ya’ll legs and the ability to move… Maybe put a little faith in that, too.

He only pulled out enough to devastate the Gulf.

Yeah, it’s fucking awesome! Nothing makes me happier than seeing a AAA studio sink big bucks into a project that was destined to be a dumpster fire, then release it as a timed exclusive loaded with DRM for good measure. I really hate that there are developers falling victim to the overall shittiness of the games industry, but I don’t know how else studios are supposed to learn that people want to buy games, not lease online storefronts. On that note, anyone have any good indie recommendations?
