My mom this morning regarding room cleaning

"Put on some music, crank it and clean that room"

I had to hold back laughter, I blame Jeff Gerstmann for ruining the words crank it.

I borrowed my friend's Dreamcast in 2006, played through all of Shenmue and really liked it. This is my confession.

So Paste giving Shenmue III a 9.9 was like a Destructoid giving Deadly Premonition at 10 kind of thing right
I read that review and she describes a tedious game with a lot of flaws that resonated with her and then slapped a 9.9 on it.

It's a rejection of the video game review scale. A quiet protest. It has to be.

This is a quote from that review:
Spending time perfecting a combat system, making it deeper and more engaging and grounding it in a more physical way would make Shenmue play "better," more "cinematic" or "realistic," but it wouldn't be a more truthful expression.

It actually reached the "it's bad on purpose" line of defense.

Yeah I read that review and thought "if this game is working for you then surely Animal Crossing would blow your fuckin mind", like it's not as if Shenmue III is the first slow-paced slice of life simulator ever made.

I finished my MGS1-4 re-playthrough last night. MGS4 is such a fucking disaster that has some truly great moments. I can't believe it was allowed to be made in it's state and I'm not surprised Konami got gunshy after it. I'm super excited though because now I get to replay the true actual end to the series - MGR:R.

I don't understand when people say they wanted Kojima Unleashed in Death Stranding. That already happened; he was free-range as hell with MGS4.

I assume partly unleashed from the MGS canon, which... fair. I'm very happy he's been unleashed from it because he'd been ruining it for well over a decade. Which is why I'm baffled why anyone wants to see another Kojima led MGS game.

Just bought Dark Souls on the switch despite having it on every other platform.

Also bought Bloodstained despite having it on PS4.

And I would have bought Dragon's Dogma again if I hadn't already spent too much.

Weirdly enough, the only game I was contemplating getting that I haven't actually played was Valkyria Chronicles 4 and it's at the bottom of my priority list.

Shit's weird.

At the end of MGS4 Snake says "Wipe this meme from the face of the earth" and I'm shocked that isn't a more commonly used Twitter response.

See... I'll allow it given it's Shenmue mother fucking III, the dream game of all dream games that we never thought would actually happen. It really feels like they unearthed an unreleased dreamcast game from 2002, and there's a vibe there I can get into.

I have more of a problem when Pokemon, the biggest media franchise on earth, comes out and the reviews are all "bad thing, bad thing, bad thing, BUT IT'S NOT THAT BAD STOP WHINING 8/10". I've legit never seen anything quite like it. I've seen games get absolutely torn apart for the stuff pokemon got a pass on.

Every time I see a MGS1 scene it fucks me up, because I played Twin Snakes first (and honestly prefer it) so it's my primary association with the story and all these PS1-era no face models look bootleg.
