The Mel Gibson version or the Its Always Sunny version?
:P
The sequels hold up as well
I get why people have some of the perception of it that they do, and I think there are some clear issues - the games being on so many different platforms make people dismiss them as spinoffs, the names (as much as I like them) make people think they're more ridiculous than they are, etc.
but it's getting a little annoying when like, yeah... it's mostly like, what, 6 games released over a decade? of course there's a lot that's happened across that, and compared to a lot of other series that are that long it's actually very easy (and very cheap, even!) now to catch up on it
and, yeah, of course the story is definitely wild to begin with, which again I find appealing, but when it works in context... what's the real issue?
oh yeah, that's the other thing
it being so earnest/sincere about all this shit is why it actually works
I'm sorry, but I was cracking up seeing those clips. I get that Kingdom Hearts is near and dear to many people (especially here at Era), but if feels like one of those "you had to play it at the moment of release" kind of deals in order to be into the lore. Otherwise seeing clips like this without any context just makes the series look silly.
Those Collections on PS4 has reduced the hassle imo since you get to play most of the games in one place now and the 2 games (358/2 days and KH coded) that are not playable are instead given a cinematic movie.
Also if you would like to play those 2 games they are on the DS

they should do more of these videos (on infinite)
the overwatch and dota segments were also a tier

I just played a bunch of Rec Room Royale, and it's super fun. They should do a Thursday Night Throwdown with the GB community.

All of Ken Burns documentary stuff comes highly recommended.
I'd say yes, just don't expect much.
Yeah, I'm going to check out his WW2 one.
I would love a documentary like this about the War on Terror by Ken Burns.
While it's true KH makes more sense in context, the thing is that even when the writing makes sense it's still pretty bad.

Despite enjoying PoE: Deadfire and Vampyr a lot, all I keep thinking about after E3 is playing Devil May Cry. I'm starting to feel exhausted with story based games (I played 6 Yakuza games in a little over a year) and all I want to do is stab shit.
If I didn't dislike Disney so much, I probably would have been way into Kingdom Hearts when I was younger.

"this is going to be in every game one day"
That was such a innocent time.
Watching the UPF and it just got to me that announcer for OnRush is just a Quake 3 announcer impersonator.
Playing through Circle of the Moon for the first time and it makes me want "DannyVania" — a feature where Dan plays through the GBA/DS Castlevania's that Vinny didn't want to. And maybe even just some other Metroidvania too. Like that Aliens game, or The Mummy.
By far the most out of place thing in the game is the announcer. I'm wondering if he's going to ask if we want to play a little game.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds is this year's weird Steam sale multiplayer game that I get deep into. It's dumb fun.
Quake Champions really turned it around, too. I'll still never be 100% happy with it since joining a server and playing a bunch of rounds with the same group of people is kind of my thing with Quake, but as a modern and more ephemeral multiplayer thing, it works pretty well.

I've been Rorie-ing out over my new
m o n i t o r
I've made a quick, high fps, sort of clarity example between 60fps and 131~ fps with Dirt Rally and the bad quality iPhone slow-motion camera
You can really see the difference in motion at the end when they are both compared and it is of course even more noticeable in person, since you need a 144hz display to really see the benefits (like HDR)!
The increase in clarity has me already doing better in games like BF1. You just feel a connection with your mouse that you otherwise don't have with 60hz. I recommend seeing it in person!

i refuse to look at anything higher than 60hz. i just can't get the 120hz+ bug right now and dedicate a lot of money to buying a new GPU and monitor
It's totally something to slowly save for! The high hz (my particular monitor can overclock to 165!) is only really buying into once your PC is fully specced out, since you'll need the juice to actually drive it, of course!
I'm def ruined on 60hz screens with a PC. Went to use my TV again and legit thought some setting got changed, but nope, it was still set to 60hz. It felt very bleh in comparison!
The thing that makes it worth it for me, was the inclusion of G-Sync! Playing games like The Witcher 3 at really high settings at a capped 45fps! G-Sync makes it look and feel consistent enough where you sort of believe it's running at 60fps after a while! It's not some miracle tech though and you'll still notice when your fps drops, but instead of tearing and stuttering, it results in a loss of detail in the camera movement, usually. Almost like motion blur is added!
Overall, it's a nicety that probably isn't worth jumping on until you are absolutely ready!
I took one last trip to toysrus; the stockpile of Ness/Lucas/Palutena/Ryu amiibo were all gone but I got a Tom Nook for $1.60 and Mr Resetti for $3
wanted Rover too but they didn't have any left :(

I tried my best...
honestly, true
Tom Nook is the only amiibo I have and it will stay that way!

I have a 144hz 1440p gsync and it is <borat>very nice</>, especially for Overwatch. I got a Titan V at work the other day and then realized I was rolling on some mediocre 60Hz 4K panel they gave me and couldn't really use it to its full effect.

Been playing Mario Tennis online and I'm remembering why competitive online games are always the worst. Literally everyone is better than you all the time. Currently sitting on a record of 0 wins and 37 losses. And I don't do too bad against the AI. It doesn't help that block timing is weird, meter build is inconsistent, and detection for whether or not you're in the star area is super spotty.
The stream yesterday was fun though.

I think that clip is less about being impenetrable and more that a lot of the dialogue is incredibly cheesy and melodramatic.
I haven't beat Boo yet, but good job! I'm about to face the Snow boss. This adventure is a fun little diversion, but seems SUPER SHORT.
Sure, I wont argue against that, I just don't find it as confusing as it's made out to be is all lol. That is about the only thing that might annoy me a bit when others make fun of KH.
You're literally describing the problem FreeSync/G-Sync solves.
I'm gonna pace myself. I beat the mansion mirror boss and called it for the day.
I'm waiting for large televisions to support variable frame rate myself. I'm still on a plasma, and it's getting a bit long in the tooth. Hopefully a standard feature when the new console generation starts.
