I mean... Len Bias will always be the saddest.

Disagree, Bias did it to himself. Sad, of course, but he made a bad decision and faced the consequences.

Fultz, Oden, and Reggie Lewis did nothing wrong but just got unlucky, which is sadder imo

NBA 2K is the biggest offender. I have put hundreds of hours into it because I love basketball and there aren't any better alternatives but those games are bad. Throw Madden in there too for similar reasons. I don't really play either very much anymore though

Uncharted. I bought the remastered triology and platted all of them but wouldn't consider myself a fan. More like I already bought them so might as well finish

Mega Man. Same idea, bought the legacy collection and played the first three. Not a big fan

The rest would probably be multiplayer games I played with friends but don't really like much. Mortal Kombat and Call of Duty come to mind

Always good to replay the best game ever! Did a random sphere grid run that got Tidus an absurd amount of strength early, so much so that he killed the armored enemy that is supposed to teach you about the Pierce mechanic in one shot

Slay the Spire

After 11 failures, I beat Act 3 with the Silent. I'm considering it beaten but I do plan to finish the game with the other classes and do some ascension runs and such because I'm pretty hooked already. I also heard about an Act 4 and actually fighting the heart? or something which I'll also try to do. I see myself putting a lot of hours into this one!

Analytics is gutter trash awful and I will never give it credit for anything. There is a reason it never actually wins anything in pro sports.

Nothing made me happier than watching the Rays lose the world series because "analytics says to pull Blake Snell in the sixth inning because oh no he might see the batting order three times". Those laughable morons got EXACTLY what they deserved and Dodgers were literally laughing at them in postgame interviews.

Epstein won two World Series with the Red Sox and one with the Cubs using analytics. Also, whether or not it's successful is irrelevant to what led the NBA to the threes and layups playstyle. The Rockets under Morey were the most extreme example of this because they used analytics, not because Harden grew up playing NBA Jam

I was doing some research for a review I'm writing, and NBA Jam belongs on this list. First licensed sports game, and thus the first game that allowed people to cheer for teams outside their local area. Back in 1993, you had the local team (so you were at the mercy of whatever market you were in) or the random nationally televised games. That's it. NBA Jam changed all that, and it's largely why Madden partnered with the NFL soon after.

Jam also changed how basketball was played. Today it's all 3s and dunks/layups with no centers and no midrange game, but the kids who grew up to be Steph Curry and such all learned that somewhere. NBA Jam. These dudes all talk about it even today, which is nuts.

Then there's the actual game. Between the announcer, the turbo, and the fire streaks, there's nothing like it. It's nuts how influential this game was.

None of this has anything to do with revolutionizing video games. Also people definitely cheered for non-local teams before 1993, and basketball became 3s/layups because of analytics, not NBA Jam.

Nah, I don't think you're playing it specifically to hate it. I just think that's what will ultimately happen.

And it's fine to form impressions on stuff before you play it. There are plenty of things I'm sure I won't like without playing them because I know what I want and what I don't want in a game. For instance, I have little doubt I'd hate TLOU2, but I don't bother going into TLOU2 topics to pontificate about it. That's the weird thing to me.

to be fair this topic is asking how people feel about FF7 Remake and pjbasis is talking about how he feels about FF7 Remake

Also, pj don't bother playing it. I'm sure you won't like it.
