The **** happened here?
I found Pikmin 4 to be pretty good. It's probably my second or third favorite game in the series, but I really dislike the last two or three maps and the challenge caves that go with them.
I liked Pikmin 4 well enough. It's probably my 2nd or 3rd favorite game in the series...but those last 1 or 2 maps & their associated challenge caves just flat out suck IMO.
Am I merging two events? I specifically remember photos of the GameCube logo that people thought were fake. I must be merging the two, because the initial GCN reveal had the more "realistic" graphics for Zelda.I understand things change with time, but man the memories. I remember when pictures of The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker leaked a few days early and people thought "toon Link" was a hoax. Then things exploded when the reveal happened.
So many memories, but I suppose all good things must come to an end. But not this site or my account yet, it would seem!
Well, I believe that particular memory was of Space World, not E3.
Memory sure is a funny thing.
I just thought of another reason developers probably wanted to ditch E3: the costs of making the demos. I recall reading they had to distract from game production to get E3 demos ready.

Demon's Souls is the 4th FromSoft game I've completed, following Bloodborne; Sekiro; & the original Dark Souls.
Which of these Souls games would you recommend to someone looking to play their first in this genre? I have come close to picking up Bloodborne, Dark Souls remastered, and Dark Souls 3 at times, but never was quite sure where to start.
Salt and Sanctuary
So this game is basically a 2D Demon/Dark Souls. The gameplay is a complete clone of what you would expect from the Souls games, except in 2D. But hey, it does a pretty good job of being like the game it was clearly inspired by. I had fun for the most part, exploring the world and killing most of the bosses. My biggest problem though some area's of the game have enemies that blend in with the backgrounds too much, as well as traps that are hard to see as well since they also blend in with the background. Like most of my death outside of boss fights are from **** I didn't even notice until it was too late. This is my biggest issue with a lot of indie games in general is they get so obsessed with their ART, and don't seem to realize how hard it is for the rest of us to tell what the **** is even going on in their games at times.
To be honest, I kind of don't like Resident Evil 2 remake so far. Every zombie is a bullet sponge. They often take three or four headshots to go down. And sometimes they still get up. What the fu...
The West Wing is pretty much great from the start, but it runs into HEAVY seasonal rot by its 6th season and limps its way through its final 2 seasons.
Funny enough, I've always been interested in getting around to the West Wing because of its last season since I know Alan Alda was a big part of it. I've always liked checking out other things he has been in since watching M*A*S*H and I remember reading bits of reviews and articles about the West Wing at the end and how he played a candidate running for President. Him playing a role like that is the biggest reason as to why I sometimes think about getting around to watching that show but, aside from downloading it somewhere, I've never really seen any easy option to get around to watching that show. So, it's an idea that keeps getting kicked further down the road.
I always meant to watch Warehouse 13, as it was in some way related to Eureka which was another show I enjoyed and completely forgot about till W13 was mentioned.
I also never got far into West Wing , another show I meant to binge watch that I heard was excellent.
I've been thinking about this and still need time to collect my thoughts and put together a list, but I'll jump in and agree with the general idea of what Khush heard about Battlestar Galactica. That show was incredible for a while, but seemed to lose focus at a certain point, and the last season or season and a half weren't up to the same standard as the earlier parts. I still liked the show and watched all the way through, but not sticking the landing is probably what's going to prevent that show from making my list.
Did it also end on a cliffhanger or unresolved? When I was typing that, my mind suddenly recalled a sketch on Portlandia in which two people had binged the show but then felt it needed an ending so they tracked down Edward James Olmos and then had him star in their own made up ending for the show. That's what sort cemented the image in my mind that it could be a unresolved journey.
Granted, it's been a little while since I've watched it, but as I recall it had a pretty definite ending. It was somehow simultaneously too sudden and dragged out too long, and kind of weird how they did it, but it was a clear ending.
