REMINDER:
Welcome back! you got a mindfuck of a ride to catch up on. Hope you're feeling better.
I respect that list solely for the Gitaroo Man mention.
I wonder if Dan still thinks that Shenmue is better than Mega Man 2 and DKC2
if the rest of that game was as good as its lone good level (Mojo King Bee), maybe it'd belong on the list
My phone keeps wiping all my Safari tabs and local bookmarks/reading list, but for some reason it always maintains a single bookmark for the Shenmue forums as, years ago, I was looking up the best way to emulate them if needed and bookmarked a thread with that information, and so every time this happens I'm just presented with an empty tab and a single icon labeled "Shenmue Dojo Community".
so is my phone haunted, is my question

It's really old, like PS2 era old.How recent is that? The lack of Stardew Valley dates it to pre-2015.
Theres nothing there past the ps2 generationHow recent is that? The lack of Stardew Valley dates it to pre-2015.
I mean to be fair, every game and how we feel about it is the product of the time they were released in and the context of that time period.
Honestly OG Mario Kart being #6 is the most egregious thing on that list. Talk about a game that hasn't held up and controls poorly...
REMINDER:
This is a valid list if you just stopped playing games like 20 years ago.

i love red alert 2 but it's bizarre to me that dan has that up there at all.
okay, grandpaREMINDER:

where's Red Dead and why isn't it #1
Theyre his favorite B-games.i love red alert 2 but it's bizarre to me that dan has that up there at all.
It didn't exist when that list was made.
Over Wind Waker? Over Super Mario Land 2? I know Dan loves B games, but RA2 over stuff he's repeatedly praised to the high heavens super vocally?
It says PC right next to it.RA2 isn't a B game.
When the pendulum of fortune swings one way, eventually it must swing back...
REMINDER:
Why are they talking about sex in this job interview??
How do you think you get the job?
RA2 isn't a B game. It was a big game actually.
Clearly by explaining to Ben what sex is.
Dan's perception of it and the reason he remembers it is as a b-game. I'm not convinced he recalls more than the amazing cutscenes and the sick ost
I appreciate the mention of SSX Tricky. That's a fun arcade snowboarding game...
It really bums me out that the franchise that would most benefit from the Nemesis System is one that's damned near guaranteed never to get it- Pokémon.
Just imagine a roster of rivals competing with you, building teams to neutralise your best Pokémon and you fighting your main Nemesis as the Champion with a team custom-built to take yours down. Fuck, that'd be impossibly good.

SSX 3 is probably the best. It had that open world aspect to it. The gritty reboot was alright too but it was too hardcore.It's hard to argue that SSX 3 isn't a better game once you get past the loss of a lot of the goofy aesthetic.
