One of the things thats quite annoying is when you talk to someone about an old game and you start to notice that the person you are talking to is just parroting something. You'll notice phrases,words,sentences being almost exactly the same. Kind of like deja-vu. And something that has happened several times is me coming across a video essay on youtube (which i never watch) and seeing the exact same opinion expressed in that video. So for instance a shitty medicore game called Mad Max i recently played. Another example would be Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days. Another shitty game being praised simply because youtubers says its a hidden gem or some masterpiece that everyone somehow forgot or ignored bla bla bla. Its just very interesting because you could simply go back into the past by looking at old reviews to see how everyone thought of the game. The worst part about this is that normalfags cannot think for themselves. Whatever the youtuber says the normalfag repeats. So now these games are considered to be somewhat good with normalfags which doesnt even make any fucking sense. Common thing i see is that alot of people that have these opinions say something like 
>oh i played this in my childhood
or something like that. So they obviously have some sort of bias towards it already. Just because you played a shitty game as a kid doesnt make the game good. Fucking retards.
Oh and i almost forgot to mention No Man's Sky. Remember that shitty gam

>Are you suggesting that an all powerful diety that makes no mistakes created humans which cannot surpass it
That's assuming that we were designed to "surpass" him, or any other number of things. Such as asking if surpassing someone is "really" the end goal, or what you become in the process of it that's more important.
>My example explained human consciousness. A plant's arrangement of matter and interactions makes it seek out light and water, which is its version of consciousness.
So, again, a consciousness is a process of thought.

At the most basic level, a series of "[If]...[Then]" statements applied to different environments.

It can in the development of the story.

How would you know? The person your holding up in traffic could be Joe Shmo or the president of a country.
>Again, how is this relevant?
Because it seems like your argument begins to go down the path of question if there is such a thing as a unversal truth and unified reality.

>that's a great way to put it, it was overwhelmingly goofy, especially that whole arc with the straw dolls
Some parts really did remind me of Doraemon, i kept reading it thinking: "Okay, but where's the horror?"
Basically Souchi is just an autistic kid, people remind him that he's weird every chance they got, he gets butthurt and so he plans a "revenge" that is supposed to be terrifying (in his own mind) but in reality ends up being some silly dumb shit.
Like the part where he makes that kid grow a beard. 
And the straw dolls was the silliest part, i agree.
>most of his longer stuff starts kinda creepy but still cool enough that you can suspend your disbelief and enjoy the mystery for a bit until becomes so fucking crazy and goofy that you forget you're reading a horror manga.
You just described perfectly how i felt about Uzumaki, at some points i thought "What is this stupid shit? Wasn't this supposed to be creepy?"
Thanks for the recommendation by the way, i'll check that out.
I missed reading horror stuff on the bed at night while listening to dark ambient, hopefully this "fuan no tane" will fill the gap left by Ito's stuff.

>The guys at konami know what to do, 
That's odd considering that they took over 15 Years to do such a basic thing and pretty much killed their second best option with del toro kojima and uzu.
>But the truth remains that without team silent there's no more team silent
No.  And the fact that it was originally a American town means nothing considering each game has nothing to do with each other besides dumb references.

>witty writing
Huh?  did I take crazy or stupid pills it's moon runes with editorials to make it make sense in engrish and most of them are dumb puns and metaphors that have usually have nothing to do with the story that idiots overthink.
Silent Hill died because a mix of factors the main being  western garbage took over the industry and Konami wanted to cut the cost of having Japanese devs and writers.
I don't really give a fuck that it's Sirentu Hiiru in name I just want  to play a game with an story by Ryukishi. the only reason they felt okay with choosing him despite his recent anti tranny truthnuke was because amerika gajins couldn't read it

Or do you hate MonHunt and want to bitch? Well friend, come on over. We have room in this thread for many opinions, even wrong ones. I myself haven't played in a while. Rise didn't catch on with me the same as the other ones did. I hate the dogs, to much going on with all the palicios and everything during a hunt. Maybe I should give it another go. 
Also maybe we could get a hunting group together again. We did it a bit for portable 3rd and it was pretty fun.

It's not really that impressive when you consider how much bigger the gaming industry is now. The PS2 had a much larger piece of the pie back then than the Switch does now.
The PS2 has a special place in my heart. It was the console I used the longest from launch through the PS3/Xbox 360 era. Mostly because I couldn't afford many games. Lucked out in the end when they started dropping PS2 games from game stores since I netted hundreds of games for about a dollar or less each. Thank god for emulators however, as I am amazed that the PS2 can still have a strong exclusive library that so many games are still trapped on the system and have not been ported over. Hell, they are only getting to Onimusha 2 this year and there is still Onimusha 3 that is 11 years old now.

I stick to retro mostly because of this, not only are new video games some of the most shameless political propaganda, they're getting more expensive and bloated, for a working man with other priorities when it comes to time and, of course, finances, it makes more sense to emulate everything on stuff I already own, for free, and play a variety of unique titles in not much time, made by people who don't actively despise me and insult my intelligence with their BS.

One of the few benefits of price inflation of new AAA slop games is that, 1. It's gonna deprive the brainless morons of the world of their money further and 2. It's gonna place a greater emphasis on playing old games.
Even the pseudo-indie games of the current year are typically overpriced garbage. Better to go through the wide catalog of older games that have been forgotten, the classics that defined the industry rather than throw $80 on some modern trash that may or may not be at least decent, as long as you're enough of a faggot to look past the Body Types, Womyn Power, nigger infestation, and modern sociopolitical commentary.

This.

If we commit today to play only retro, even if we play every day, many years from now there'll still be a ton of new stuff to try that we haven't yet, it's not really neccessary to get excited about anything "new" when there's plenty of new stuff, for us anyways, in older system that we're yet to play and enjoy it.
I know this isn't exactly videogames, and I know this is a Boomer-tier post. Whatever, just please give your boy a little bit of shitposting leeway this once. I know they're just horse names, and it shouldn't mean this much, but when I think of all the bullshit journalists started with Gamergate, and I think about our current political environment...there's something oddly poetic about SOVEREIGNTY beating out JOURNALISM at the Derby.
