game awards 2024 random takes

writing this while at minimum 5 drinks deep so bear with me. the site's fuckin called "moonshine" you should have expected this kind of bullshit from me.

TAISHO YAKUZA!!!!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!!

FUMITO UEDA LIVES! AND HE'S DOING MECHA!!! YOOOOOO

okami sequel is officially in "hey what the fuck???" territory. okamiden was kind of whatever so this is a weird get. kamiya returning to capcom is ehhhhhhhhh.

it was funny being the only person in all my friend groups who knew what Solasta was off the top of my head despite not actually playing it. crpg sicko spotted.

elden ring nightreign seems like the equivalent of prey mooncrash. i understand why this exists because elden ring made bamco one bazillion dollars HOWEVER obviously i am ambivalent about the idea of some kind of fuckin multiplayer roguelite using all the elden ring and dark souls assets. that was the nameless king!!! you can't just put him in elden ring!!!!!

metaphor winning best narrative is comical. read my post about metaphor and share it with everyone you know because as far as i know i am the chronologically first person to put up a public post about the game's problems (i obviously write this paragraph with the appropriate amount of irony do not get needlessly upset about my stupid bluster okay?).

seeing a new onimusha brought back old memories of being in singapore and waiting while my parents did laundry in the laundromat as i sat in front of an electronics store in the bottom floor of a mall and watched the intro of onimusha 3 (directed by donnie yen) run on loop. i don't actually care about onimusha but this is a core memory.

don't give a shit about naughty dog. also comically easy to mix up naughty dog, sucker punch, and insomniac

they shoulda got keisuke for the music bit though

announcing a squid game 2 is, well. you know.

take care out there folks, see you again
