I love the original Hotline Miami but I’m not a big fan of the boss fights like the ones in Neighbors (Biker) and Deadline (Van Driver). I find it kind of slows down the game and limits the strategies you can take.


Another example would be Fallout 3. I find the tutorial section in Vault 101 can feel a bit long after a fifth run but maybe that’s because I was spoiled by Fallout New Vegas’ ability to run off in your own direction immediately after leaving Doc Mitchell’s house.

    Half Life: Xen. All of it. I hate it

    Super Mario RPG: Having to jump up to nimbus land fucking sucks

    Chrono Trigger: First time going to the Dark Ages before Kajar/Enhasa…just boring really

        I second this. I thoroughly enjoyed the hell out of Xen in Black Mesa. I really feel like they really did justice to what the original devs could have accomplished if they had more time.

        I haven’t been so fully engrossed in a game like that since… Well Half Life Alyx I guess. Truly a great feeling.

      Have you played Black Mesa? I felt it did a great job when it came to Xen. Probably one of my favorite parts of the game

      I think dark ages first time really set a mood. At least for me as a 13 year old playing on a rom.
