7, 20, 23 & 29
7. Pokemon Gold Version. I had Blue and Yellow, but Gold was the first Pokemon game I beat, and the first game I beat. It established Feraligatr as one of my all time favorite Pokemon.
20. I think either Jurassic Park, or Animaniacs on the SNES.
23. Dead Space 3. I could write essays over how much that game disappointed me, especially because I loved Dead Space 1 and 2.
29. It’s difficult to say which is more important between gameplay and story because it largely depends on the game. Many of Nintendo’s franchises are devoutly gameplay over story and it works very well for them. Conversely, games like those of Telltale, and games like Asura’s Wrath are much more story driven, while lacking in much gameplay.
Personally I prefer it if a game has a good story that I can get invested in, but there are plenty of non-narrative games that I adore because of their gameplay, which is why as critical as I am of them I love Nintendo.
I’m going to say gameplay, if only because games can exist and thrive without a story, but a game with a great story, and bad gameplay doesn’t tend to do well.

5, 9, 11 & 19
5. Probably Crash or Spyro. Though I had a PS1, I had almost no games for it and rarely touched it. The first Crash game I played was Wrath of Cortex and it did absolutely nothing to impress or interest me. My only Spyro game I barely remember, I only know that it was on the Gameboy Advance and I didn’t much care for it.
9. I don’t have a game that I play on mute, though I’ll often listen to something else while playing games, like podcasts or Game Grumps.
11. Dark Souls is probably one of the hardest games I’ve played that I actually tried to play. After about 10 hours I put it down and never touched it again. I can understand the appeal, but I’m not a sadist.
19. Rather cliche at this point, but Majora’s Mask should be remade/rereleased. Donkey Kong 64 as well, though that’s never going to happen.

Perhaps the thing that frustrates me the most about the ‘too many white dudes with stubble’ issue that people have with games and movies is that it shouldn’t matter. It really shouldn’t.
Yes, a character’s race and gender could be changed, but chances are that that will do nothing to change the character, or the storyline. Unless a defining characteristic of the character is some struggle that they have faced because of their race, or their gender, or a central plot line of the story revolves around them being such as they are, then a character’s ethnicity and gender shouldn’t matter.
Personally I would rather have well written and presented characters who were made white out of familiarity, ease, whatever, than I would like PoC characters who are poorly written, or even written demeaningly for the sake of having a character that is not white.
There are some bullshit excuses for the lack of diversity in protagonists within videogame narratives, I won’t deny that. However, unless the story of the game would directly benefit from having a person of a different race or gender than what is presented then it should not be a problem worth bitching about. -
I’m curious, people with mod blogs, what’s your ratio of people following your modblog/people following your mane comic? For me it’s around 5%, which seems reasonable, especially considering that I seldom pimp it and I do mostly random text post. You need to be VERY invested in hearing the crap that comes out of my mouth in order to be here, (not that I don’t appreciate it, I try my best to entertain.) I’d like to get some more data on this, I’m curious to see if that number matches anyone elses experience.
Techblog followers: 1107
Modblog followers: 273
Overlap: unknown
Average ratio, excluding overlap: 4 Techblog followers to 1 modblog follower
Mine is about 29%. Probably because I’m just so PRECOCIOUS~
Papiblog followers: 1546
Modblog followers: 164

WELP. Guess I know what I’m finally gonna have on my team!
Here’s hoping that its eyes and gem change color depending on the version. It’d be a nice touch.

Unless you’re fitting 320 Englands in the US, there’s still a bit of a difference.
