i’m just excited for GTA6 because at least i know it isn’t going to be stuck in the 60s-80s era of music. bob dylan is literally my favorite in any medium but we need to move past James Gunn as music supervisor. Rockstar had the best music taste in games

xenoblade chronicles x has ZERO loading while traveling across 5 continents, and this was on the goddamn Wii U. it looks even better in next month’s Switch release (this is Wii U footage)

final fantasy 7 remake and rebirth are full of these moments where the music “drops” you into the main melody just as you return to gameplay. it always sweeps me off my feet. it never gets old.

Robocop game boy game director: “hey jonathan we need a title theme. it’s robocop for game boy, nothing special” Jonathan Dunn, reeling from the abrupt dissolution of his 9 year relationship, yet grateful that he once had a love who made saying goodbye so hard: “yeah, ok”

in case you don’t know! hold DOWN the attack buttons in crimson desert, do not spam them. use them as your anchor to flow into other moves like hand to hand, stabs and dodges.

zelda hyrule warriors has an uncapped framerate, so it gets a performance boost without any update needed. this seems to be the case for every switch 1 game with uncapped framerate on switch 2
