Too easy. They like to be challenged.
There is a MST3k for a Gamera film I am sure if it unless I am hallucinating and to be fair Gamera fils can be quite hallucinogenic.
There is. Minute 1:19:00.
Assassin’s creed: Black flag is the ONLY top five assassin’s creed game.
AC is like COD. You could erase at least half of the series from history and nothing of value would be lost.

These are the hot takes this thread was created for.
The $1/hr is the most idiotic and arbitrary mark of quality.
A movie: $7/hr
A meal at a restaurant: $75/hr
A book: $2-5/hr
A music album: $3-8/hrSo why do we just magically decide that a video game is only “worth it” if it reaches some random mark?
For me, anyway, the big draw of computer gaming is that it's so much cheaper than most other forms of entertainment. If you happen into a title you love, you can get a thousand hours or more out of a $50 purchase.
If it costs the same as a movie or a restaurant meal, why wouldn't I just watch a movie or go to a restaurant?
I'm sure Hades is every bit of amazing that everyone claims it to be. Attempted playing it multiple times and haven't made it past a handful of dungeons. The artwork, acting, writing is absolutely superb. I just... get bored and kinda want to go do something else whenever I try.
So yeah. I want to love it, but Hades is boring.
Everyone in my friends group is pretty much completely over the moon for Hades. I'm tempted to try it, but I've disliked every other Supergiant game I've tried and I generally dislike roguelites. I can't think of a game I'm less likely to bounce off in the first twenty minutes, but damn if I'm not constantly tempted to buy it just to see what the fuss is about.
If you think there's a roguelite you might enjoy, Hades will be it.
It's far less.... quirky (?) than other Supergiant games. Stylistically, it's very much them, but they've really learned from their previous games and ironed out the kinks in the mechanics.
And... Steam refunds exist....
My only caveat is if you're averse to fast paced frenetic action games with a helluva lot going on onscreen, because boy howdy this is that. But in the same breath, it's on the right side of button mashy.

Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed are FIFA and Madden, minus the football, with guns and wrist blades. Yearly bank. Don't mess with the formula!

You could erase every Madden game from the last 15 years from history and nothing of value would be lost.

You'd lose that Peyton Hillis cover, which remains funny to this day.

Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES is still better than all Madden games

The most ridiculous cover choice until they put Taysom Hill on Madden 22.

In the future, scientists will clone Taysom Hillis, making the ultimate mediocre white boy football player.
Final Fantasy VIII is the one that deserves and needs the full remake treatment.
This wasn't originally mine, I think I saw it going around on twitter a year or 2 ago, so I don't remember the source. I've just been thinking this week as I've been replaying VIII since it was released on Game Pass this month.
I haven't played a Madden game since the Sega Mega Drive.

I have similar feelings towards both Supergiant and rougelites. I did try Hades just to see what the fuss was about, but bounced off it pretty quick. It did make me want to replay Lunar Knights though, so that's something?

Hot Take: if FF7 remake is an indication of what FF8 remake would look like, then it really doesn't.
I haven't played a Madden game since the Sega Mega Drive. :grin:
Related Hot Take: When referring to what you personally played, you call it by the name of what you had. But when referring to it in a general non-personal sense, the console in question should be called the Genesis, because North America is the only region that actually bought the damn thing.

North America is the anomaly. It's Mega Drive everywhere else. The trademark dispute that saw Sega of America instead lift the name Genesis from a great British band did not affect the rest of us. That Americana is unacceptable.
Just like this abomination.
It is only, forever and always, this.
North America is the anomaly. It's Mega Drive everywhere else.
They could call it MegaDrive on Mars too, nobody bought it there either. The majority of consoles actually sold had the word "Genesis" on it.
The only reason the MegaDrive had any games to play is because a sh*t-ton of Genesis systems were sold.

12 million isn't quite the same as nobody, but yes, it is less than 18 million. America holds the numerical advantage with its Sega Leviticus Genesis. Oh! Maybe that's it. It's because they made it biblical! It was a good Christian console. America! Jesus! Yeah!
Hey. The world only got a Sega Mega Drive, and America it's Genesis, because Europe loved and supported the Master System.
Damn that 32x, CD, Saturn, nonsense. This stirred so many awesome 8-bit to 16-bit memories. Good times.

Obviously this makes sense. After all, remember when China became KFC's biggest market and we all started referring to their food by its Chinese name?

Shush, Daddy's hot taking.
Come on. Your meant to say something else. So I can say I concede to your Mega knowledge, and have no desire to Drive this further.

The biblical references never ever occurred to me. That’s so weird!

This made me lol so hard. Thank you, Legion.
well okay then.

If you take things asserted here very seriously, you've lost track of what thread you're in.
If you take things Legion says seriously, you've lost track of who you're dealing with.

Also true.
I can only apologize.

New bar on most lukewarm take in this hot take thread.
