I mean, your mileage may vary. A lot of people really love it and I'm sure some of them did play it for the first time as adults. It didn't really land with me and I felt completely out of step with a lot of the humour and writing and the "oh look, so quirky" personally. I felt that if I played it when I was like 15 I'd probably think it's the best game ever, so that's why I put it like that. And also I just love a snarky comment I guess haha. It has great music though.

Titanium Court meanwhile felt more grown up in several ways, while still managing to be hilarious, surreal, silly and wild - in addition to being thought provoking and even emotional at times. I also personally thought the central message or point of Titanium Court was more interesting than Undertale, but I am treading dangerous water here in terms of spoilers. I've already spoiled too much by saying there even is a point. Both these games should be played as blind as possible.

It's not for everyone so if you bounce off it don't worry about it. For me it's one of my favourite games of this year, and one of the games that most made me think about how I play games. I've called it "Undertale for adults" before.

Weird nonsense and shoulder belts? I can smell Nomura in the kitchen on this one grinning over the cauldron, I'm inclined to believe it's real based off that alone.

I've been on the PariVision train since over a year now. Last year I thought 9class was the most interesting player on the scene with what he was doing from the 4 position, and Satanic might be the best young talent in a long time. And veteran No[o]ne getting some success finally.

And Puppey is my favourite player of all time so him joining as coach and drafter only reinforced that. Then of course they started winning and becoming a top team and it feels slightly different to cheer for them after the EWC win. But I still will. I've been cheering for Puppey since TI 2, I'm not going to stop now.

There are historical anti-French sentiments, but I honestly don't think this is related to them much. I think it's just a meme gen Z decided to run with because they thought it was funny. Like the birds aren't real thing.

If you have F1TV I can't recommend https://multiviewer.app/ enough.

Just classic inconsistent stewarding. Bizarre but that's FIA. Hamilton/Russell should just have been a racing incident anyway.

Wild that Lewis gets a penalty for that. I don't think that's right.

You should play Titanium Court, it might be the antidote you need. I can't really say more without spoilers, in fact I've already spoiled too much by even saying this, probably.

Yes, and that reaction also fucked me up completely and gave me imposter syndrome about my own diagnoses.

I enjoyed it. After reading it a couple of times I think I've come around on how it breaks the meter. Rust in peace is nice with the sword imagery and the last line is pretty good.

Tack för tipset, speciellt rabattkoden som jag kan bekräfta fungerar. Skönt att det finns ett bra alternativ att gå över till.

That's beautiful, makes me want to get out there too.

I was thinking Jackass but bum fights is probably more accurate. God humanity is bleak sometimes.

The ultimate weapons for each character in FFX are all locked behind minigames, most of which are unfun (barring Blitz Ball), most being extremely difficult and some being almost broken (looking at you, chocobo racing). You might remember jumping to dodge lightning bolts 200 times in a row or chasing down butterflies in the trees.

I agree with most of your criticisms, but the jumping puzzles and beach challenges I don't really think should factor into the overall rating too much. They were deliberate nods to inane and frustrating minigames in older Final Fantasies and I think they succeeded in that regard. Anyone who has tried to assemble all the ultimate weapons in FFX knows what I'm talking about. They're also completely optional in E33, contributing neither important lore, plot or item rewards. They can be totally ignored without consequence by anyone that doesn't enjoy them.

Absolut. Men det är bedrövligt at EU-komissionen pushar för detta.

I'm the same. One game at a time, for the most part. I might mix in a non-story game in parallel sometimes like a roguelike, but only ever one story based game at a time. My brain can't handle switching back and forth, I need to dedicate my full intention hah.

I agree. This is a fantastic video essay that goes through everything in more detail than I could here, and I recommend it thoroughly. It's a good game, that manages to enthrall most players into thinking it's a great game through a combination of a phenomenal soundtrack and some standout moments that sort of jolt their critical thinking faculties out of order. I was victim of this too - I liked the game way more as I was first playing through it, but the more I went back through it and the more I actually thought about it the less I liked it.

I still appreciate E33 for what it is (overrated does not mean bad), but for me Blue Prince was the GOTY 2025.

Bedrövligt. Vet inte vad mer jag kan säga.
