technotreegrass commented on Talking Point: The Slippery Slope of Micro-Tra...:

I'm guilty of happily throwing down a few bucks simply for an extra outfit(s) in games like Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire, and Assassin's Creed III because I personally feel that such cosmetic changes can extend the replayability of the game. However, spending money to get an overly powerful weapon early in the game ruins the challenge of the game and makes it all too easy to beat, and all the "Oh it's only a dollar" transactions can hurt the wallet and rack up several charges on your credit card that you don't want.

technotreegrass commented on GoldenEye Creator Explains N64 Title's Role In...:

Part of me feels sick that the kid mentioned in the full article wants to own such advanced weapons when he's old enough, so yeah, if they feel that putting in fictional names and models will discourage future gun ownership, by all means. Fictional names don't bother me, the power of the weapon isn't diminished.

Demos for all games is something that would improve sales for all games. Many games I am hesitant to buy for fear of losing my money, and it doesn't help when I spent $10+ on a few games and quickly deleted them because they couldn't hold my interest. I find the prices fairly decent on the eShop, though I think sales and price cuts over time for certain titles.

I am extremely grateful to this site for offering consistent reviews on all eShop titles. They are a huge factor in whether or not I purchase a game and have saved me from many bad games that do not deserve my money.

technotreegrass commented on Disney Infinity Pricing Emerges:

No doubt this will be a gold mine for Disney, but they won't get a dime from me. I don't mind DLC because for the majority of games out there, DLC is simply an option, not a required part of the game. I never played Skylanders and I don't have an interest in playing it so I can't comment on whether or not all the figures feel optional or required, but based on this article, Disney Infinity's figures feel required, and for $200, I'd rather buy a new console, or have a sweet nest egg to put towards a new console.

I've been hoarding coins for game downloads, finding all the physical offers useless, but this is pure gold. I prefer carts to digital downloads, especially when they're still full price, and most of my carts are Pokemon games anyway. It'll be quite awhile before I end up filling this case to its limit.

I love Mad Dog McCree, though I agree the muddy visuals can get in the way a lot.

My horror pick is Gangstar 2: Kings of L.A. I read the reviews, I knew it was bad, but I figured it would be still be tolerable. I love Grand Theft Auto and many games that copy that style, but Gangstar sucked ALL the fun out of the GTA formula! How the heck do you do that?!

technotreegrass commented on Review: Hotel Transylvania (3DS):

I at least give them some credit for not being a mini-game compilation like almost every movie tie-in for the Wii and DS, but I expected the game to be shovelware all the same.

technotreegrass commented on Platinum: Without Nintendo, There Would Be No ...:

Better a game gets released on A system then never be released at all. Whenever I get a new console, I usually find one game that justifies the price, and after that, my collection for that platform grows over time, making the price even more worthwhile.

technotreegrass commented on Talking Point: The Rules for Violence in Video...:

I don't see a problem with offering a hunting game, even one for exotic animals. This isn't the first game nor is it the last, and I've seen hunting games on Nintendo systems before. It's a fantasy not to be replicated in real life, same as almost every video game ever made, whether it has realistic or cartoonish violence. I enjoy going on a killing spree in Grand Theft Auto games just for the sake of causing mayhem, and I shoot every animal that moves in Red Dead Redemption, but I would never take someone's life in the real world, nor would I ever go hunting, whether it's for deer or some exotic animal elsewhere in the world.

technotreegrass commented on Talking Point: The Long Suffering Luigi:

Even though Luigi was just a re-skinned Mario in the original Super Mario Bros, I still preferred playing him, and sometimes I'd play a two-player game by myself just so I could play him. I love Luigi's Mansion and I can't wait for the sequel.
