If you ever feel like you can't accomplish anything in life, just remember that a multiplayer game with netcode as shit as Smash Ultimate's sold 24 million copies.
2002
There is no comfortable way to play this game. Your only options are:
1) Get an OG Xbox, whose hardware are ticking time bombs and looks like shit on modern TVs
2) Play it on 360, which has poor backwards compatibility and is full of framedrops
3) Upgrade your PC (during a component shortage) so it can handle Xbox emulation, which is still in its relative infancy so hiccups are expected
Fuck you Sega, why did you lose the source code to all your best games, I hate you so fucking much

Anime going mainstream was a mistake.
I'm not a fan of visual novels, but I feel sorry for the VN fans that had to put up with this shit back in the day. You deserve better.

Fun fact: this uses the same game engine as Touhou 1.

Fuck Microsoft, fuck Phil Spencer, fuck the entire gaming industry, and you know what, fuck gaming in general. I'm gonna go try a different hobby.
Why are there 4 versions of MGS3 clogging the highest avg. charts? Sort that out, Backloggd team.
Smash babbies are not ready for Tekken inputs.
This might be the only 2D fighting sequel released in the past few years (as of 2022) which actually gives the player more options rather than the opposite. KOF holds the line.
1989
When it comes to "technical milestones in gaming history", we think about our Dooms, or Star Foxes, our Mario 64s, our FF7s. But never does Ys Book I & II come up.
This was an epic 20-hour two-part RPG with animated cutscenes, fully-fledged professional voice acting in both Japanese and English, arranged OST using real CD instruments, and extensive side content all in 1989. A 500MB game in a time when games rarely exceeded 500KB. And it was all done by a small Japanese studio. This is one for the history books and it's a shame it doesn't get the respect the deserves.
As for the game itself, though? Haha, bump combat go BRRRRRRBRBRBRBRRRBRRBRR

The peak of 2D fighters as far as I'm concerned. No other has achieved how fluid and responsive this game is.
Oh look, it's that boring cereal mascot that everybody pretended to like but nobody actually plays. L
One of the greatest PS2 fighters of all time.
1995
A forgettable entry in the SNK fighting canon that will only be remembered for having the hardest promo art ever to exist.
2017
We could have had Ninja Gaiden Souls.
Instead we got Nioh, Nioh 2, Chinese Nioh and Final Fantasy Nioh. May God smite Team Ninja.

75% of the assets are completely stolen, and yet this still manages to have some of the most soul I've ever seen put into an indie video game. Long live Dong Dong.
