I don't think somebody else's subjective opinion counts as misinformation, no matter how overblown it might've been or how much you trust them. I've bought many games based on praise/criticism I didn't agree with afterwards, but I'm struggling to think of an example of actual disinformation swaying me one way or the other. Could have happened though.

I was wondering if it was possible to search for all games for the PlayStation (One) that have been featured in a video at some point on the site. I couldn't find that option, though I understand the wiki and videos here are often not so entangled.

It would help me in my search for all PSOne games of value - for a collection involving the PlayStation Classic. If it is not currently a feature by any means, I would like to request some sort of implementation.

Gunstar Heroes would be great and I would also say Dinosaurs for Hire for the Genesis, which is a surprisingly decent run' n gun in that and the Contra vein. Also seems right up Vinny and Dan's alley in terms of dinosaurs wearing sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts.

Also as a huge fan of the Final Fight/Streets of Rage style beat-em-up, I'm gonna say that style of game is not well suited to this format. Mostly because optimizing your run means relying on stun locking enemies, which is fine when you're playing but boring to watch objectively. Shoot em ups inherently aren't very fun to watch either in my opinion, despite both of the aforementioned genres taking a pretty big share of the old, hard co-op game selection.

Run 'n guns are probably the best suited to this series, as we've seen with the Contra games. The Rolling Thunder games might be good, as while they're technically run 'n gun they also basically play like Shinobi.

Two Crude Dudes (previously suggested) is a 2D beat em up like an Altered Beast. I would have thought before that these would be great games for this series, but now after the earth shattering revelation that there is barely any strategy whatsoever to Altered Beast (which nobody actually thought was a good game, but it was a huge flagship title for Sega and... I really thought there must have been something else to that eye ball boss, you know?) I'm starting to think such game will either be too easy or have very similar issues.

Just remembered some Migos songs.

In Beast, Quavo raps "Put it in, Navi and we can link" which might sound like a coincidence, just talking about GPS, but then he emphasizes "Navi and Link" which is unmistakably an Ocarina reference. Would have been funny if he slid a "hey! Listen" in there instead.

& from Culture I, the last line of the chorus in What's The Price is "Like a pro skater did my own grind". Now I could be wrong about this, but I don't think the phrase 'pro skater' is commonly used without at least implicitly referring to either Tony Hawk's video game series or Jeff Gerstmann's video series. Plus those games took grinding to a whole other level.

why couldnt they just make an elder scrolls online version of fallout?

I'm really glad they didn't. As much as the game frustrates me, for many of the things that have been expressed by others, I'm still glad they were able to make the game feel like Fallout (since 3... in combat at least... sans vats) while having online. I gave Elder Scrolls Online a fair shake after hearing Jeff say something about how the game has made it to the point where you can play it solo and it feels like a single player game. After I got through all the tutorial shit and went to the first dungeon you're required to go to, I realized the enemies respawn every couple of minutes or so. While you're already inside the dungeon. It reminded me of Runescape or something, (the only MMO I really played) and also why I never play MMOs. That completely breaks any sense of progression - and also immersion - for me, especially in a game of the Bethesda mold.

Speaking for just 76, I'm someone who played way too much of Fallout 4 because I got so invested in the base building stuff. I hate the limits of the system and all the stupid improperly surfaced information (like the settler happiness, ugh), but I still enjoy being able to explore and loot everything I see and have somewhere to build something out of that afterwards. So I like being able to build a camp virtually at any unmarked location, but I hate their claiming workshop system which should just save everything you've already built at a location. But hey, if you don't care for the building stuff at all, I completely understand why you'd loathe this game.

In my opinion the best Pac-Man reference that will ever be is during Push's verse on Mercy "I'm bill droppin', Ms. Pac-Man, this pill poppin' ass ho."

I listen to a lot of A Tribe Called Quest and unfortunately the only mention of theirs that I recall is when Consequence says "While I be trying to get star status like Shinobi" on Stressed Out. I say unfortunately because Consequence is Q-Tip's cousin who is on their fourth album randomly & way too often, kind of ruining it. Shinobi is the shit though so props to him for that at least.

I'm bummed Sakurai didn't flip on Waluigi. That would have been a great final surprise, even though people were shitty to him. Also bummed that Tom Nook isn't at least an echo of Isabelle at this point, the main villain of many other Nintendo franchises are present.

An adventure game on the PC which from what I remember about the graphics could have been made in late 80's-90's. All I remember is a screen where a barrel with the radioactive symbol on it is centered in the frame and the game sort of taking a darker turn after that. Maybe skeletons.

This is only of my earliest game memories so I don't quite trust my memory. I think I watched my father play it on his Windows 95 computer when I was like 5. I think he was narrating it so i could understand what was happening and stopped when it got too weird.

I'm confused as to why changes saved are no longer immediate with all the wiki points I have now. Took a while to accumulate that many for this reason, and not sure what the point of wiki points are anymore without that whole system. (Assuming this is intentional)
