Thank you for sparing us the oh-so-edgy "ewwww mobile games" schtick that has become more prevalent in the content than in the comments. If this site's self examination is ongoing then this kind of reporting - away from the blinkered 'REAL GAMING' attitudes - of the single most inclusive form of gaming needs to continue |
|
Nintendo: "Here's some news on new games" Internet: "But what about the VC!?" Nintendo: "Here's some news about the VC" Internet: "Why no new games!?" Nintendo: "Here's some new games and news on VC" Internet: "Can it run GTA6?" |

I don't think you have to dislike the base sport to feel this way - I love football but would rather play Kickmen, Sensi, or Football Champ than any of EA and Konami's more faithful versions of the sport. I love Motorsport too, but am far happier playing Mario kart, Blur, or Ridge Racer than I'll ever be playing an F1 sim or Project Cars. |
| All it will take is a huge launch sale that includes the biggest possible games with the shiniest graphics and all this whining about 25% and cryptocurrency will be completely forgotten. |
| Hard pass |
| I've not read all the comments here, but I can't be the only person to feel the convoluted set-up to this story and melodramatic conclusion are just an excuse to make a mountain out of a molehill? |
| The best gaming news I've heard for years |
|
@riceNpea Not so much that, I just don't think you'd notice as much of a difference as you expect. |
|
@riceNpea I think the results of that filter would be pretty depressing. |
| It would be interesting if the x-axis also showed the price at time of review. |
|
You know what's uglier and more awkward than that poster…? "based off of" |
| Never has the word "more" held such negative connotations. |
|
@1rafayal I'm sorry you don't understand, but I'm not going to waste any more time explaining a very simple concept to you. |
|
@1rafayal I've answered your question. What don't you understand? |
|
@1rafayal The vast, vast majority of jobs involve teamwork, collaboration, communication - in any representative, diverse workplace why would you want to employ someone who can't interact with others without descending into toxicity? |
|
@Perjoss Of course there was. People have come to see anonymity on the internet as a right. In reality it just gives people free reign to act however they wish without fear of reprisal. How many people would stop throwing racist/homophobic/other language around if they knew a potential employer could discover it just by googling them? |
| The only cure for toxic behaviour, in games and online in general, is the removal of anonymity. |
|
@p_nut_uk Yeah, I get that, and don't have a problem in theory, however: a) Pre-orders are bad for the industry and these pieces often encourage the practice. b) Other GamerNetwork sites I visit don't have nearly as many of these as Eurogamer |
| These 'Jelly Deals' pieces seem to be commanding increasing digital real estate around here. |
| Do they seriously expect me to believe that this isn't aimed at under-18s? |
|
@RawShark Agreeing to disagree often feels like such a cop-out, but here I think it might be the only way to conclude amicably. If timelessness is the criteria then, for me, Avenging Spirit, Batman, and Battletoads all meet it easily. But I can't agree that the best version of a thing renders all other versions worthless. |
|
@RawShark Forgive my rudeness but, with that response, it's hard to believe you've played (m)any of those games. Granted, many share a name with a game on an existing home console, but most are completely different, often better, games. |
|
@BellyFullOfHell Horses for courses I guess but I've played them all relatively recently and they held up great for me. |
|
@RawShark "only three Game Boy games that still hold up" You mean other than (Off the top of my head): Batman, Battletoads, Castelian, Best of the Best Kickboxing, Robocop, Avenging Spirit, Tennis, TMNT, Kid Dracula, Duck Tales, Castlevania II, Mega Man V, and Gargoyles Quest... |
| If anyone wants to see how superbly two-button autorunners work on mobile they only need track down a copy of Polara. |
|
@Carroceiro So, Grim Fandango isn't a 'Proper' game? Kathy Rain? Xcom? Final Fantasy Tactics? Just about any game that uses a point and click interface is better on a touch screen. |
|
@Carroceiro What is 'proper' gaming? |
| Or, save your tenner and play the infinitely better TR2 remake demo instead. |
| She's a great looking character, deserves a better game. |
|
Anyone else remember the cool idle animations in Super Hunchback? That game had average gameplay too. |
|
Worth trying for free as it had some nice moments. Generally though, it's a bit of a mess both tonally and technically. |
| Here's redditor ColdBlackCage doing my job for me |
| TLDR version: Average game, great movie. |
|
@Tumbletwit Everyone who had read this article came to the Eurogamer site for a reason. I highly doubt that, for anyone, the reason was to read regurgitated Twitter posts. |
|
@Tumbletwit Doesn't change that it's second hand content from a source that is built around generating a reaction rather than reporting and/or providing insight. And, on topic, this is a lives system with a fresh coat of paint; if you died too many times in Super Ghouls and Ghosts it sent you back to the start of the game. |
|
Why can't we just have your opinion, and perhaps the opinions of other Eurogamer staff Wes? Everything on Twitter is written with self-promotion as it's primary goal. Relying on re-quotes from it, or any other social media platform, undermines the value of the professional commentary you have available - and without the taint of reactionism. |
| Gunbarich is fantastic, one the best hidden gems I unearthed when I played through every game on MAME a couple of years back. |
|
@MadJack1812 Absolutely right. Everyone knows the only place for pineapple is with a lump of cheddar at the end of a cocktail stick. |
|
@Simatron3000 You're right. None of this will get patched out. Ever. |
| Broken. |
|
Been having great fun with this. One of my favourite things is that the mechanics mean that you're always more worried about how much money you're making rather than that whole 'football' and 'winning' shenanigans. Given the tone of the game, you have to assume that's deliberate. |
|
@VotesForCows I think my reaction is born mainly of disappointment - I was hoping this would be closer to Bushido Blade than yet another Souls-like. |
| And fuck you Dark Souls for inspiring the ubiquity of the stamina bar. |
|
Love the illustrations in this piece. A one off or new style for the site? |
| It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years |
|
@Kain1 I think the point at which a player feels competent is more achievable in IV than III. That, to me, makes IV better. I was wrong on another count anyway, Ultra SFIV is the best one - I just plumb forgot about it. |
| AKA The best Street Fighter game that doesn't have a '2' in the name. |
|
@VibratingDonkey Entirely agree. I don't know how this isn't the focus of this, or any other, article covering these otherwise non-events. |

I hope they sort it out soon as the pending to the lowest common denominator has made the whole redundant.
