Maybe I’m just dumb, but you can get the postman’s hat before you go to help Kafei in Sakons hideout. Ive been doing the quest twice for that singular reason ever since I first played the game.

@Sunsy I've tried almost a little of everything, though I intentionally stay away from sports games lol. I enjoy some classics like Pac-Man and co., BurgerTime, Street Fighter II, Galaga, etc. There aren't too many modern cabinets that come in, though there was a fresh off the presses pinball machine we got in awhile back based on The Mandalorian. Most of the repair jobs we get are either pool tables (resurfacing usually) or older cabinets that need some TLC and slight modernization (New screens, etc.).
Come to think of it, we got in a classic Junkyard pinball cabinet earlier this week. I need to fit in a round or two on it before it moves out.
@MarioLover92 No rush when it comes to responding. Take all the time you need.
Hah...stumped! Pun intended regarding The Minish Cap I'm sure? XD Slight hint - the third dungeon is a bit of a red herring. Unfortunately it's been awhile since I played through my GBA copy, so I can't really offer advice on how to progress. I've found my bearings in Amazing Mirror thanks to a guide. Three mirror shards left.
It took me two tries to get into Twilight Princess since I became helplessly stuck/frustrated in the first dungeon my first playthrough. I hadn't played a game like it before. Ironically it was my stellar experience with Okami on the Wii that convinced me to try TP again. The two games share a few similarities but still have very different identities. I became hooked the second attempt and haven't looked back.
@Eagly I've never been a morning person, nor do I ever expect to be lol. I'm one who likes gradually waking up instead of dealing with an alarm (and if I don't set one, I risk oversleeping for work). Kind of depends on the weather too. I'm lucky if I fit in 1-2 hours of gaming many weeknights. Besides work, I also own/maintain a house, do chores, need to run errands, am involved with some occasional volunteer stuff, and also fit in exercise. I prep and eat most of my meals too and have a food prep night 1-2 times a week on average.
Some open world formats are indeed repetitive, so I definitely hear you when you say you look for a twist to the formula lol.
I highly recommend Final Fantasy VI if you don't mind classic 16-bit JRPGs with random encounters. The game is one of the best from that era IMO. Sad that your Wii U is broken. XCX would be a great port candidate. I had thought the worlds were drifting back apart at the end of XC3 to avert disaster, hence the two groups' separation? I had hoped the DLC would address a re-merge of sorts - and I thought this was implied in the end - where the two separated worlds were no longer stagnant. Basically a retry... hopefully through different means.

YouTube seems to be desperately trying to make me watch videos in Spanish… Which is weird because the ones it keeps sneakily slipping into my home page are not even about topics that interest me.
@Colonel_Mustache I mean, I’m used to the home page having little spots for the news and stuff with videos in spanish, that much is normal. But lately it seems they’ve been injecting several of the random “popular in your country” videos from the other tabs into the main home page… which would usually be filled only with videos related to my actual interests.
Fed up with thumbnails that blatantly spoil final bosses for me (and surprise twists, like for Paper Mario: The Origami King, isn't that right, PROFASIA?!), I downloaded an extension on Chrome that hides videos on the front page and sidebar.
Does anybody even watch the news anymore? I actively avoid it like a plague. Edge bugged on me a couple of days ago and showed me some news on the front page and I immediately searched for the option to turn it back off. Cartoons, now this is a worthy source of information. I rarely even watch anything live-action anymore, just cartoons and anime.
@Eagly As for the best catgirl I would have to take a really good look at the industry. Nia would be in top 3, no doubt, but Kyaru from Princess Connect is a gem, too (if you count gacha games as games). There is also Niko from OneShot (not the one from GTA4), and a couple more I think. I can't memory today.
Honestly, that was just my uneducated guess as to why companies work like this. I also think that they are just not organized enough for the voices of consumers to even reach the bigshots responsible for the release strategy. From what I have learnt in life, every bigger organization is WAY less organized than you'd think. Also, the higher in the corporate ladder, the older the geezers are, and they are pretty disconnected from the current trends.
Also, I think that they are at least partially aware that they cannot do games like they used to anymore. If you look at Sega, Capcom or even Nintendo, every biggest hit they made is waaaay in the past. The golden age of AAA gaming was the 00s, and now it's smaller projects that hold the industry together. Notable exceptions - games that are actually nostalgia fuel, like Theatrythm (I love this game btw played it yesterday evening and today morning and the memories just flooded me).
That's a good attitude with not judging the other titles based on the ones you have already cleared. I should do that more often, too.
The father/son dynamic doesn't work for me in the slightest. But I really get a similar trope, a girl and her robot. You know, when a seemingly defenceless, fragile creature that just happens to have an amazing magic skill is protected by a badass robot/monster/something else.
"a certain other game made by one person that became incredibly popular" you mean Stardew Valley, right? Yeah, it's a big hit and a very good game. It's also really pretty for a one man job. The only thing I dislike is character portraits artstyle, but that's entirely subjective and I am fully aware of that.
I really think that people are secretly craving more games like this, not pretty but with super nice gameplay. However, big companies tend to release mediocre games for normies. I have nothing agaist normies, I think casual players are really chill about the games and I have friends who play like once per month, but since they outnumber the hardcore gamers, the best selling games are the ones that are watered down to fit most people. 60 bucks from a guy who buys his first game counts just as much as 60 bucks from a supergeek who can quote every dialogue from Final Fantasy game out of his memory.
Unfortunately, that means that the scriptwriters never take any chances either. They make average characters with average story, and it all feels same'y. And games that are truly unique don't sit with many people, unfortunately. Taking a look at Yomawari, for example. I am really interested in Japanese folklore and I find Horror games soothing. Also I love the atmosphere of small Japanese towns, and the story aspect is very important to me. This is a game that suits me perfectly. How many people would appreciate it like I did? Not many, some people don't like horror, most people don't know anything about Japanese folklore, and many people assume that no superior graphics = game isn't worth their time.
So I want to ask about Dr. Muto since I have never played this game before.
I heard from review videos on YouTube that mostly said the game was really hard to finish like there was a lot of frustrating tasks to do and at some point it will easily to make you give up.
I need a clarification about how hard is Dr. Muto to play and which part is the most difficult thing to do and it can make me stop continuing the game due to high frustration level.
Right now my main interest is pulling up cards of Amazon Pandora and a Dark Fighter on my phones and taking pics of them together in AR, the Dark Fighter’s supposed to be me.
