I like inconic video games so much and awesome video man :]
after all these years: 2017-2022 has entered the chat. in 2017 they added resident evil 7 which was one of the best games, bro in 2018 they added the best game I ever played detroit become human, in 2020 not sure about cyberpunk but I liked the graphics, in 2021 they added resisdent evil village yet the game game of 2021 I ever played, finally in 2022 was a chef’s kiss, we’ve got sonic frontiers, elden ring, bendy and the dark revival, Gow Ragnarok and a lot more!!! I just can’t believe how much those years were, and in 2009 yet the 2 best games (because 2009 was the year I was born) we’ve got angry birds which is my childhood and sonic and the black knight, these two games are one of my favourites!
I said “huh?!” way too many times with both the choices and the script…
I so miss the original Minecraft. It has gotten too complicated for my old brain.
Is anyone going to talk about how the picture they show is not Satoshi Tajiri but Tsunekazu Ishihara?
