  • I put olives in my bolognese. Olives, objectively, do not belong in a bolognese. But without fail, I’ll dunk half a jar of those salty little bad boys into my bubbling wok without hesitation. Peppers? Why not. Carrot? Absolutely. Spinach? Don’t mind if I do. My bolognese is about as authentically Italian as Super Mario, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not trying to make Massimo Bottura cry by reminding him of his nonna’s cooking. It’s a dreary Tuesday night and I’m craving my olive-laden concoction. I’m making this bolognese just for me.
    Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer reminded me a lot of my bolognese. It’s a game created for particular tastes, a unique proposition that sort of defies conventional thinking. A big, bold swing that - if you have the palette for it - is absolutely brilliant.

    I’d love a third game in the series where we the hyperspace enforcer and Zane team up to fight against the psychos .

    I never thougt this day would come, but finally I have found someone else who loves olives in their "bolognese" !
    I don't care if it's not authentic ; it's absolutely delicious !
    Oh and the game seems interesting ;)

      I mean, in Italy a pasta with meat sauce isn't called Bolognese outside of Bologna anyway. So who cares. It's still a pasta al ragù all the same.

    This was a very good review. Loved the insights. I find it refreshing that we still get games that exist to appeal to those that have similar tastes without trying the make it more bland to reach a larger amounts of customers.

    Usually enjoy this stuff of media.
    But all the body humor, even if its just a satirical caricature, is just too much for me. And unfortunately the gameplay also did not win me over.
    Did try it out on Game pass, maybe give it a second shot when I dont know what to play, but I am dissappointed in the game
    There are other games that look awful on purpose that i enjoyed quite a lot.
    But this is just trying too hard while still not archiving to convince me about the world setup that it takes place in
    Glad to see a different view on this game yet it did not influence my view of the game in a significant amount

    This game reminded me of the RPG Maker 2000 days, making self-aggrandizing shitpost games where you (or your forum avatar) were the main character, an exaggerated version of yourself.
    I loved it.

    7:58 The trick is to just drop the olives in at the end - little cooking, the flavour doesn't interfere with the rest of the dish and you still get those scrumptious olives. I've even put carrots and courgettes in my Bolognese previously and still often in my lasagne.
