@MarioLover92 Your typed the word "Okami" and here I am! If you asked me, the word "masterpiece" was conveived with this game in mind. It is a marvelous, magical journey, something as lovable and memorable as "Spice and Wolf", "The Independence Day" or "Bon Jovi". The true staple of the 00s. This game can singlehandedly ignite a passion for Japanese folklore and for gaming.
@Anti-Matter Sorry for the late reply, I was fell walking.
I'm not going to force you to like it, I guess people just defend the things they like.
I do think the designs are way over the top, but not every character in it is like that and if you can look past it which as you've said you can't, there is a good game underneath.
Also, the others are quite different from 2 and the combat is really deep, the tutorials just suck.
By the way, what chapter were you on when you dropped it?
Once again, I'm really sorry and will try and avoid talking about it in the future, please don't block me, I will shut up.
So, I actually beat the original Mortal Kombat, twice this past weekend... for the first time ever. The first time was in the Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection on Steam, and the second time was with the GOG version, albeit with free play turned on on the GOG one.
Who knew what started out as comparing the AI between MK 1 and 2 ended up with me beating the game. Heard the arcade version of MK2's AI cheats so wanted to see it for myself, lol.
Short answer, yeah MK2's AI is tough because arcades wanted to milk quarters. On the flip side, I actually find the GOG version of MK2 easier compared to the arcade release in Arcade Kollection. The GOG one is the DOS port.
@Sunsy yeah NFTs now make it incredibly profitable in other words even worse
For me it was just the volume of franchises. It was called lego dimensions but a better name would have been lego warner brothers. The amount of franchises from ghostbusters to Scooby doo was really exiting . And later these small packs would end up getting their own full non dimension sets.
I didn’t know that about TT who knows maybe they will make a new sonic game a full lego sonic that would be a cool way to return to thier roots
For me a PC seems like a huge time/money sink even if I knew what I was doing. I would need to hire a professional to make one for me
Indeed, it was a lot of Warner Bros series under one roof. Shame Toys To Life went away and the game ended, it would be fun to see what the game could have expanded with.
Yeah, they did a bunch of older Sonic games. They also did a few Disney games, Toy Story and Finding Nemo comes to mind.
For PC, the price to entry may be more expensive due to what you want in your PC to play games on, but all the sales and deals you get with games, and the fact online multiplayer is free, ends up helping you save money in the long run.
@Sunsy Ah all right, that would be good to get some more practice on those courses. We should play online again sometime, once we both find the time of course.
Ah gotcha, so you haven't played too much of it. Wonder what your thoughts would be if you decide to come back to it, since I know you're huge into Sonic.
Yeah... little did I know that I played a game that was originally on a computer from the 80s, lol! I actually do have a Retro Gamer magazine that has a whole section on the ZX Spectrum, going over many of the hardware itself, and its peripherals. Plus a whole checklist on what games to get for a complete collection. I didn't bother starting a collection though, I've been content with my Nintendo games and everything. Fun fact, Rare was originally known as Ultimate Play the Game. Kind of an odd name for a company, lol - they wouldn't be called Rare/Rareware until the NES/SNES days.
Yeah I hope both of us can find one! I'm a huge fan of the SNES, after all.
Ah really, I didn't know that. I think a similar thing happened with Wii Sports, where they would reissue the game with a few things updated. I was watching a video on the history of Wii Sports world records, and it was mentioned that a few copies were actually an early version of the game, when it was first bundled with the Wii in 2006. The later version of Wii Sports had illustrations of a Wii Remote in its jacket IIRC, and an extended intro for baseball.
Oh that's awesome. From what I've played of Disney Dreamlight Valley, it's a nice, chill kind of game, and a good one to play before going to bed. That's cool, I've seen a fair amount of Alice in Wonderland, the original Disney classic, and I'd like to see it in its entirety sometime. I do love a good classic Disney movie.
Indeed, hopefully one day when we can find the time.
Yeah, I got it for Christmas in 2014, but then both Sonic Boom games took over my life then, and then Super Smash Bros. Wii U entered the picture. It was a pretty busy Winter between three games.
Cool, I miss magazines. I just have two issues of Nintendo Power and an old Maximum PC magazine on my book shelf. Didn't know that about Rare, all I knew was they made Battletoads before becoming a second part developer to Nintendo.
Yeah, the weird part is Smurfs Dance Party leaves two different saves, one save says "TRU" (for Toys R Us exclusive), and the other one won't, and the save data will only be read to their responding discs. In a way, it's like those going for a 100% complete Wii collection, then they're going to need both copies. Didn't know Wii Sports had two versions, I think I have the one with the remote jacket.
That's cool, speaking of Disney, Disney Speedstorm is finally coming out on April 18th. Looking forward to this one too. It's a very good movie, Alice in Wonderland is a great Disney classic. I like the Disney Junior spin-off, Alice's Wonderland Bakery, so much. The show does a lot of fun callbacks to the movie, even the main character Alice, is the great granddaughter of Alice from the movies, and they even acknowledge movie Alice multiple times.
It's cool Disney does this stuff for their younger kid shows, it makes them more fun for older Disney fans too. Sofia the First had the princesses and Olaf, and I remember my nephew use to like Jake and the Neverland Pirates, heavily borrowed from Peter Pan.
@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.
Great games there, funnily enough I was playing Street Fighter II for a bit this morning. Ah, I wish I could play more real pinball. I love video game pinball, actually considering Pinball FX on PC just to play the Trolls table. I only ever tried a real pinball machine once at a local hot dog restaurant.
Arcade video games, I played a lot more. Played a lot of Sega ones over the years, and a few when I went to Atlantic City a very long time ago, one of the casinos had an actual video arcade called Aladdin's Castle. There I played Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Vs. Super Mario Bros.
I also use to have a local arcade that would set the games to free play every Sunday. Was a fun time to go. It was like $6, all the games you can play.
@TheBigBlue Is that on the Switch? I'd really like to play that one, and I made a Japanese Nintendo account recently, too. Or is it just on nintendo switch online?

@Eagly On the one hand, yay, more Xenoblade but on the other I really don't like the gameplay of musou games, I kind of want 3 Hopes though. @Kermit1 Isn't there a rule against posting in other languages? @BigBlue Metroid Prime happened so there's hope.

@JadeKitsune Nice to meet another Alice's Wonderland Bakery fan. I first saw the show when I got Disney+, and loved it since. It's so heartfelt and has a lot of cool callbacks to Alice in Wonderland. It's become one of my favorite shows.
@Eagly Yeah, plus the big downside to the Lego ones, you needed the game to build them. All the instructions were inside the game. Had to do this with Sonic's set. If anyone wanted a set, they would have to look up the instructions. Though building did add to the experience.
Indeed, though I would say Finding Nemo is more on the simplier side. I still had fun with it, though funnily enough, I got a later revision of the GameCube game with the load times fixed. I loved the TT's head YouTube channel, he went into all sorts of tricks with programming older TT games.
That's fine, PC gaming is great once you get into it. I always loved having both PC and Nintendo for gaming.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@Sunsy
I felt disappointed to see Pinocchio live action movie only can be watched by streaming from Disney +, not by cinema release. 😟
Btw, Little Mermaid live action movie will be released at cinema due to 26 May 2023.
Have you watched the official trailer of Little Mermaid live action ?
Oh, about Alice's Wonderland Bakery, you can watch it on YouTube without using Disney+.
Here is the link.
Also about Alice's in Wonderland, why the 2010 live action movie was so different and dark ?
I never saw any White Queen part from Alice in Wonderland novel version and moreover the battle with dragon.
Like every movie directed by Tim Burton (director of Alice in Wonderland 2010 and Dumbo live action movie) it will be darker.
@Eagly Yeah, I had heard that, basically if there's a need for one I'd play it.
Also, as a fellow Bringer of Chaos any tips for that giant Antol with a Blade in Uraya?
