Hi everyone ! Feels very weird to finally join the fun after all those years lurking in the shadows ^^
Member from France (yé, I know "Hon hon hon", "Camenbeh", "Le Moulin wouge", you know the drill). Working in the interwebs, as a front-end dev.
Lurking since early 2017, just before the infamous split. And maaaan, those times were haaarsh ! I'm glad the craziness has moved elsewhere, as the overall bitterness and toxic environment was taking its toll on me.
After a few great threads by some members as of late, I felt compelled to register in order to give them my earnest thanks. I also would like to join in on some fun debates with you all, and give my own two cents about what's going on in gaming right now.
I'm very much a Japanese-centric gamer, big into Nintendo and Atlus when it comes to modern stuff (#SMT5WHEN). Right now though, I'm going through a big retrogaming phase. Dreamcast European 20th anniversary and Saturn Japanese 25th anniversary are right around the corner, and I'm collecting a lot of their games right now. Easily Sega's creative peak imo.
I'm not going to be the most active member here, but I still hope I'm gonna make a positive contribution to the forum See ya soon !
Sup people. Came here from the "other" site. I just couldn't stand it anymore with all their SJW BS and intolerance for anyone who isn't as woke as they are. I hope I'll have more freedom here to express my opinions, even if it's not the popular opinion.

Do you play shmups? The French scene is much bigger than here in the US. For instance, there's always a major showing at Stunfest and France has some of the most prolific non-Japanese shmup site and some of the coolest english-speaking shmup members in the world (shmup.com and it's subdomain hiscores.shmup.com, for instance)Hi everyone !

A fellow MGS fan You’re automatically inside my heart, irmão. And of course Gears of War! You South Americans are mad about this game. Mexicans and Brazilians are so into Gears. Mad respect homie. Put itHey everyone,
After several years of following the forum daily for news and discussions -- Neogaf is one of my primary news sources I might add -- and finally being approved, I've decided at last to introduce myself.
I'm a Brazilian from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro (city on the opposite side of the Guanabara bay from Rio) and gaming is one my biggest passions and favorite entertainment medium. I also love movies and TV series, but games are unique due to their interactivity thus adding a level of immersion and enjoyment other mediums can't match.
I've always been a huge PlayStation fan since the beginning in the PS1 days when I was a kid and own all consoles to date, including the portables. They all stand on my desk beside one another. My favorite games are AAA single player experiences with huge production values and attention to detail. Obviously gameplay and design are the core and foundation but I always take into consideration all elements as a whole -- story, characters, acting / VO quality, narrative, lore, setting, graphics, animations, audio design etc. Audio is something absolutely huge for me, just as much the graphics -- like both sides of the same coin. For me nothing matches the gaming experience of enjoying an AAA single player game I've waited for years completely immersed in its world with a big TV and extremely loud quality surround sound.
I also really value developers that take risks in trying something new, to break some new ground or to just try to shake things up a bit, even if it doesn't work out as well as planned, rather than devs that just keep making the same old market tested and safe formula over and over again.
There's a ton of talent and great games in the industry, with a lot more to look up to, specially with the next gen on the horizon, but, also, unfortunately, there's always bad things that come along with progress and some of the worst offenders, in my opinion, are microtransactions, P2W, glorified gambling mechanics, GaaS and everything related that are fucking cancers to the medium. As immersive and focused single player [non open word] games don't mix well with those "business models" I fear they will become more scarce going forward.
Some of my favorite games / IPs are:
Since the beginning of the this gen I've been way more selective of the games I play in an effort to try and stop drowning in my backlog and ending up wasting time in games that are not that great, specially having fewer time to play nowadays. As a platinum trophy addicted in addition to love to squeeze every drop of content of every game I play, it's crucial to try and stay focused. For a few years now I've played way more backlog games than new games. Some of the most notable games of this gen I still haven't played are The Witcher 3, Spider-Man and Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Metal Gear Solid
- Uncharted
- God of War
- The Last of Us
- Batman: Arkham
- Ratchet & Clank
- Mass Effect
- Tomb Raider (reboot games)
- Gears of War
Do you play shmups? The French scene is much bigger than here in the US.

You have a great taste in shmups! Don't hesitate to brighten up the Shmup OT if you are so inclined. I tend to drop news there, too, since most shmup announcements are too obscure to warrant their own thread.Hi Dundun, glad to see you ! And sorry for the late reply.
Indeed the shmup community here is fairly big (by US standards) and passionate. I remember watching - on French cable TV no less - some impressive runs by fellow french players on Dodonpachi and Radiant a few years back. Heck, I even remember watching someone mastering DoDonPachi with a freaking Guitar Hero controller !
I'm still a pretty casual shmup fan since my interest in the genre is fairly recent, but I played a few of them : Musha Aleste and Thunderforce IV on the MD, Soukyugurentai (very underrated !) and Thunderforce V on the Saturn. I also bought Ikaruga on the Switch and Radiant on XBLA. I'm now looking for Gigawing, Mars Matrix, Gradius V and eventually gonna delve into some good ol' Cave Bullet Hell once my training will be finished. I love those games more and more over time, and certainly regret I haven't checked them out before. There's a lot of catching up to do !
Never been at Stunfest unfortunately (it's in Rennes which is pretty far from Paris). My cousin is a regular though and loves going there each year. I suppose I'm gonna join him at some point, with some of my more passionate friends. Seems like a very good time indeed.
De nada and thank you for the welcome!Welcome, CaldaSnake , and obrigado for sharing a bit about yourself and your gaming history. It's always great to see more genuine, enthusiastic gamers join our community. Your English is impeccable, too!
Thanks for joining up. By the sounds of it, you'll find a lot of GAFers with similar tastes in games.Much like the others, I'd been lurking a while in threads and figured it might be worth making an account for the time being.
I'm English and mostly play on PC. Strategy games, RPGs and shooters are my shit, but I'll dip my toe into almost anything.
It's good to see a lot of other Metal Gear fans around the place as well.
No I don't. I'll check it out when I have the chance.Do you play shmups? The French scene is much bigger than here in the US.

Thanks, irmão! MGS has always been my favorite IP by very, very far and I'm absolutely crazy about it. Not only because it's unique, revolutionized the industry and everything else every fan knows, it was the game that had opened and blew my mind as a kid by showing me how so much more gaming could be.A fellow MGS fan♥ You’re automatically inside my heart, irmão.

Welcome aboard and thanks for joining us
I love your passion! I’m not an English native speaker too but had to learn it because it’s the worlds #1 spoken languageThanks, irmão! MGS has always been my favorite IP by very, very far and I'm absolutely crazy about it. Not only because it's unique, revolutionized the industry and everything else every fan knows, it was the game that had opened and blew my mind as a kid by showing me how so much more gaming could be.
Furthermore the MGS games made love English and basically was responsible for me to learn the language. Needless to say, with English being the world's universal language, learning it opened up a whole new world for me in all aspects -- education, access to information, interacting with people from other countries and cultures, being able to truly appreciate games, movies and pop culture in general the way they were meant to, just to name a few -- so it's much, much more than just a game for me.
Recently I've renovated my room and my great artist friend made this awesome 1m x 1m (3.3ft x 3.3ft) MGS painting for me.

Hello all, I signed up ages ago but have been lurking until now.
Nice to have a forum to talk about games and stuff freely.

Hi everyone,
Been lurking gaf on and off for what seems like almost a decade mostly for gaming news.
I tried signing up years ago, but it seemed like it was nigh impossible to get in unless you knew somebody or had an email account on the "right" domain (or some prestigious one).
I love gaming on handheld devices and PC. Toying with gamedev related programming has always been a hobby and close to heart.
Hello everyone, I'm a graphic/ui/motion designer and like many I've used NeoGAF for a long time before you could just register with a regular email so I never got to be a member. After dropping out for a while because of being in my mandatory army service here in my country I went back to gaf and realised I could register a lot easier than before so I did! I've been looking for a gaming related community to talk and play games with other people so that's great. I guess I'll tell ya some of my favorite games/franchises as well!
It includes:
Sly Cooper
Metal Gear Solid
Splinter Cell
Hitman
Ghost Recon
UFC
Persona 5
Yakuza
Wolfenstein
And while weird to say I'm sure I'm forgetting something because every time I think of favorite games I always forget everything.
Hi, I'm Tigerlord. a long time console player when the Intellivision was released. Mainly play Nintendo consoles when I am not
at work. I hope to contribute to the gaf community!
