Who would be interested in this? None. Is it relevant then? Certainly not.

@IronMan30

I never meant YOU specifically. I was referring to the broader "you", like people in general. Like those who told you, who appears to be everyone.

@IronMan30
If you really want to draw comparisons like that, I guess you can do it for most games.

You can ride a horse in both - check
You don't have to fight all bosses - check
There is grass in some locations - check

I thought the game was excellent back then, but never completed it.
Gave it another shot a few years ago and still thought it was excellent.

From that generation the Xbox 360 was the console of choice, so I wouldn't exactly call the PS3 accessible.
Regardless of that...isn't all video games based on Lord of the Rings garbage or was this one actually good?

@Ryu_Niiyama

I remember an early rumour that the game will take place further down south of the continent, so most likely not in Hammefell.

Thus begins the remake of VI.

Thank you.

Citation: Funny how data can be used to show a narrative the companies want without any scrutiny.

True, but what's the point of doing that in this case? The data should be there to optimize their sales as much as possible. Now they're just lying to themselves to protect a poor decision.

90%... that's a lot.

@Serpenterror
I never said they should look realistic, that would be weird. They just look poorly animated without attention to detail.
It's a slop job and people buy them regardless, so why put in any effort whatsoever.
I bet my 2yo could draw a coffee pot with legs and eyes and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

@BrazillianCara

If it was worthless, you wouldn't have responded.
I'm sorry that my disliking of the current Pokemon era hurt your feelings.
I just think they could be so much better if Nintendo were involved in the development. Game Freak is a below par developer and that's a very generous statement.

@BrazillianCara

You are right, forgot to say that the games suck as well.

Is it allowed to say that Game Freak is a mediocre company in general? All the Pokemon for Switch look like they were made 25 years ago.

@SirLink
As you state, Metroid is supposed to feel exactly like an Alien film. Trapped and isolated. This is the DNA of the franchise as it was.

This was such a fantastic game and an interesting cast of characters.

I don't understand how this game got a 9 from NL.

The name sounds like it was thought of by the same scammers who phones you 5 times a month.

After Starfield my hopes are dead low for Elder Scrolls 6 to reach the same heights as 3, 4 and 5.
Waiting another decade for it's release can only be a blessing in disguise.

To call Starfield boring would be extremely polite.

5 special moments for me which puts Nintendo up there as one of the best developers of all time (in no particular order):

A Link to the Past (SNES)
Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
Super Mario World (SNES)
Super Mario Kart (SNES)
Ocarina of Time (N64)

Plenty of gold since then, but it's always the early days that created those magic moments, being a kid and all that.

Elsewhere up there in the competition for me is Capcom and Square(soft):

Magic moments for me:

Street Fighter 2: World Warrior (SNES)
Mega Man 1 and 2 (NES)

Final Fantasy 6 (SNES)
Chrono Trigger (SNES)

@SillyG

"I think, deep down, I hoarded so many Switch 1 games suspecting that such a time would come that I would turn away from modern gaming."

^ That is actually the exact same reason I continued to hoard. I was under the impression this would be my last console to collect physical games for, so I went all in.

Being an owner of several thousand physical games, this is actually fine by me. It means I can save a ***** load of money, cause at this point, obviously I'm buying for the sake of it and nothing more. I once had the intention to play them all, but to achieve that I would need to reach the age of 248 and during that period keep my vision and reflexes.

I have yet to insert a Playstation 5 game disc, that contains the game playable from disc without requiring a massive download.

You can cover a turd in ice cream springles, but in the end it's still a turd.

Please don't. 15 is by far the lowest point in series.

The Jumbo collection on Switch 1 was great. I see no reason for a second purchase.

@Justaguest

No need to worry at all. FPG's release will never arrive.

Dark Link was also in Zelda 2: The adventure of Link and was extremely hard to beat.

@RupeeClock

Who's to say those pictures are not fake?
If not they might only have received these relatively few samples of each game. Aren't you supposedly commiting to a minimum of 1000 cartridges? Something's off and FPG has been straight up ***** us for years. All these "updates" really is intended to do, is to steal even more of peoples money who fall for it like we did all those years ago. I think my preorder for Undertale is at least 6 years old. I don't get why someone in Germany has not paid him a visit yet.

This is a good read:

Why is it named Veronica and not Code Veronica?
This does not seem right. It bothers my OCD.

@uncleMike

The art style ruined it for me. It looks like the awful overly advertised scam flash game Hero Wars.

To me, this was the worst Monster Hunter game by far.

Guess I'll be buying a second Switch 2 at some point. But not a third thanks to this.

@OorWullie

Lol, story of my backlog.

Thanks for an honest review. Saves me the money 👍

@iLikeUrAttitude

I played and completed the Xbox game early on and encountered no issues whatsoever. Might have been luck, or might be that anyone can stumble upon anything if they try hard enough.

No CD-I games on the list?

@YANDMAN
Hello there Mr. Mionskowski

The 4th picture looks kinda as*

The intense hatred between Chris and Wesker easily makes Chris the favorite character. But I guess the young fanbase missed out on these encounters. A remake of Code Veronica will benefit him a lot.

Who in their right mind would start from anything else than the beginning?

The music in Arcade's Revenge was awesome. Can't wait to replay it.

@YANDMAN
I can answer that in just four letters:

FOMO

I wish I didn't have this horrible disease. Be happy that you do not.

@RupeeClock
I just checked and something is definitely fishy with Slap City. No updates as well.
Thanks for the heads up. They get a yellow.

@Zeebor15
Limited Run Games is actually the best on par with Super Rare Games. It's ridiculous to even consider to compare them with a scam company like First Press Games, just because you don't like their business model. They are quite transparent with their release schedules and update frequently if any changes occur.

I collect quite a lot and have been dealing with almost every limited print company. For anyone interested here is a list of who to trust and who not to:

Limited Run Games = Green flag
Super Rare Games = Green flag
Red Art Games = Green flag
Pix'n'Love = Green flag
Forever Limited = Green flag
GameFairy = Green flag
Iam8Bit = Green flag
Fangamer = Green flag
Strictly Limited Games = Yellow flag
1PrintGames = Yellow flag
Premium Edition Games = Red flag
First Press Games = Jolly Roger flag

Green = No issues
Yellow = Have received many orders, but some has taken several years and are still pending.
Red = Never received anything. Pending orders for several years.
Jolly Roger = Pure criminals.

This is not limited to Chained Echoes. First Print Games has been scamming it's customers for over 5 years. I have a pre-order as far back as 2020 with them. It's absolutely crystal clear that they are deliberately stealing the customers money with no intention of ever releases anything beyond the first few games they released over 5 years ago. Apparently they sold so badly that they could not fund the next released. So they try to fund their releases by taking new pre-orders in for new games, which then cannot be funded. It's a never ending circle and 5 years ago, they realized that it was actually easier just to pocket all incoming payments and ghost everyone.
No one had the courage to file a lawsuit until now, so it is great news that Matthias Linda chose to do so.
At this point all the customers whose money was stolen, just wants to see First Press Games and their owner get destroyed. It's no longer about receiving the games. That will never happen. They just want to see justice.

@Mitch

You don't seem to mention that this game originally from 2003, already saw a remake in 2012 for the Nintendo Wii.
I would have liked to hear what you thought of that, as I find it quite important to compare the 2012 remake to this new remake.

The 2012 remake had some of the best graphics for a Wii game and the atmosphere were spot on. I don't think yet another remake was necessary. I miss this comparison from you.

This game was already remade for Nintendo Wii and it was fantastic and looked great. So is this a remake of a remake or what's the idea?

I liked the artstyle in the first game better.

That it is coming at all is fantastic. I thought they were going to screw us with only the double Soul Reaver release.
This one wraps up the entire series... or does it? Probably too late to hope for a continuation of this epic series. Best narative in video games ever. I would settle for a ground up remake of the first game though (Blood Omen).
