Resident Evil 5 had its flaws, but it definitely wasn’t a bad game. Its biggest issue was it was following on from not only (arguably) the best game in the franchise, but one of the greatest games ever made in Resident Evil 4. It was never going to match that level of quality.

Really? That title and putting Resident Evil 5 in the thumbnail?! Resident Evil 6 was RIGHT THERE

Can confirm, as someone who was 11 when shadow the hedgehog came out and who has only played shadow and heroes, i unironically liked shadow because he was a cool edgy hedgehog with a gun

Pokémon knows it's artistic place, if you want a more granular, complex, Pokémon game JRPGs existed first.

I've played all Resident Evil games and the one I loved the most was Resident 5, because co-op was really good!

Frank West was playable in Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Ultimate MvC3, and MvCI.

He was really fun, because if you snap a picture after a long combo, he'd Level Up and get access to new weapons and moves like the Paddlesaw from Dead Rising 2.

Can't believe they talked about X-Files the same week I was reminded of the David Duchovny song

“Castlevania” for the N64, I felt, was a fantastic game.

Don’t know if you talk about this later but Mafia is definitely a series that could’ve been massive if Mafia 3 didn’t suck. Playing it now and wow, it ruined it

Loderunner had a 2d blockbased construction kit, in 1983. I still have Apple 2 discs somewhere with like 150 levels I made

Some property killing games that come to mind:
Saints Row 5, Duke Nukem Forever, Dungeon and Dragons Dark Alliance.

Changing your user name mote often feels much more common than sticking to one for over twenty years.
