The Wii brought gaming to the general public in a way nothing else had. Like most modern Nintendo consoles it was under powered and gimmicky but the gimmick worked so well for people new to gaming, point at the TV or wiggle the controller as you would to do the thing in real life was a huge step to making an abstract concept make sense to people. For longer gaming sessions or more “serious” games the Wii controls were generally lacking but damn if Wii sports wasn’t good fun.
Metal gear 3 is my favourite, it’s got the best combination of gameplay and story of them all. Probably the best boss fights of the series, so many good ones, I love the end and the fear. Fighting Volgen was great as a fight and he was a brilliant villain. The Boss was possibly the best bit, really escalated the game. 2 and 4 are both great. 4 felt like a good close to the series, though it had far too many cutscenes, I think it was more of a movie than a game. 5 was the best gameplay in the series by far though the story was unfinished and Quiet was silly, “You’ll feel bad when you learn why she’s practically naked”. Bullshit just admit you want a sexy lady in your game that’s still allowed.
I got it for free and really enjoyed it. The main character is the epitome of beige and bland generic gruff white dude but the game did quite a lot new and had some good ideas.
The second one was even better, it’s very meme heavy in its characters but if you can tolerate them the gameplay is even better and the story is better too.
Happy new year.
I’ve been playing Remnant 2 which I’m really enjoying. Fairly similar to the first one, the moment to moment gunplay and exploration just clicks for me.
Also done a few rounds of Take and Hold in Hotdogs horseshoes and hand grenades which is still my favourite VR game. The new Institution level is kicking my butt though, haven’t worked out the best spots yet.
I’m really looking forward to Hades 2 this year. I especially enjoyed the die to get more story mechanics from the first one.
It’s very similar but nowhere near as good. I got it for free on playstation a while back and stopped playing it to go back and play the dead space remake again.
