@ThanosReXXX - Ah, that’s right! I’m looking forward to DDII, haven’t played it since my NES days, but I played it a lot then. There’s nothing finer in gaming than DD platforming sections. I’ve never played City Connection on NES, just in the arcade. I can’t wait for the SNES app and the inevitable, “I wanted SNES games, but not these SNES games” backlash.
@HobbitGamer - Pretty sure that brick cord is a NSO member exclusive.
T-minus nineteen minutes. I'll be watching it live via Ninty's official YT stream. Time to buckle up, folks; I predict that we're in for quite the hype train. 😁
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
@Tyranexx Yeah, VI is just...years away. They really A) Shouldn't have announced it last year, and B) Should not have made 2 back to back Fallout games including a cruddy broken online one, ignoring their real mainstay franchise, and then doing the new IP Starfield before coming back to it. I suspect holding back on VI has more to do with ensuring maximum subscriber base in TES:O while it's in full swing. Why release a new TES to draw fan attention while they're currently placated by annual subscriptions and micro-transactions in an MMO? $20 says TES:O closes before VI comes out and then a then VII will be out while Fallout Online is announced and nobody gets a new FO RPG for 20 years.
OTOH if you haven't tried TES:O, give it a try if you get the PS4. It's actually a seriously good TES game, which I wouldn't have thought (I zone out as soon as MMO is mentioned.) And Zenimax (the parent company of Bethesda that only makes MMOs, including TES:O...doesn't come from Todd's group...) makes MUCH less buggy games than Bethesda Game Studios. But TES:O doesn't really play like an MMO. It's just a big solo TES game that happens to have hundres of other people blasting by. But it has real NPCs and quests, etc. Sure most are fetch quests but there's other TES type fun quests in there. In a way, I'd say TES:O is a better TES than Skyrim was. And you don't need to pay monthly unless your'e big into crafting. Though buying all the expansions gets expensive.....albeit each one is really a whole game of content (Summersett last year is almost as big as Oblivion's Cyrodil. I just ignore the other players and the group dungeons.
It's weird. TES:O, the MMO plays excellently as a story driven single player game that happens to have randoms pass by in town. Fallout 76 the RPG really only works as a group MMO.....
The first Watch_Dogs was an ok game. It played ok. Except the driving. That was a mess. But the problem was it was just...bland. It wanted to be a serious cyberpunk drama and instead it was flat, lifeless, cardboard, and ultra serious about vague things. It had no character or life. They went back to the drawing board with 2 and created a colorful kind of comic book world out of it and it came out pretty cool, and it looks like with "3", Legion, they're really doubling down on that and made something really unique. It's what Crackdown 3 should have been.
@ReaderRagfish It's more than that. DQ has excellent stories as well, albeit they're more child hero on an adventure stories that I think plays out better in Japan. The chibi style just makes DQ look like it's "for children" to western eyes. Which I think is the real difference. The western obsession with "maturity." DQ isn't that. Even though when you're deeper into it, it actually is, much moreso than the angsty "mature" themes of FF, DQ tends to actually be subtly deeper. But westerners are very superficial in first opinions.
Plus, Enix simply had better game systems designers than Squaresoft back in the day, and those systems are now cemented into the series even post merge. Mana/Evermore/DQ always had better systems in place than the Squaresoft games. But Square's character writers were always better.
@Morpheel The Playstation C.D. might get confusing.
Animal Crossing New Horizons kinda disappointing me a bit.
It looked like New Leaf 2.
But i still saw very huge potential from that game.
Well... Maybe my impression will not more than 90 for New Horizons.
I gave it 80 from 100 for first impression
@ThanosReXXX Huh, what publishers are more your speed (platform holders aside. For me nearly everything Square has is interesting, and I can't really say that about any other publisher. Ubisoft and Nintendo are the only other two. They're probably my main studio to watch.
And at least it was Square instead of Sony, right?
Everything known looked good. Everything unknown looked at least interesting. The bombshell at the end, it made a strange salty liquid drip from my eyes. The wait will be excruciating.
