Re: Metroid Dread Staff Say They've Been Left Out Of The Game's Credits, MercurySteam Responds

AnnoyingFrenzy

I don't agree with Mercury Steams policy, but since that IS their policy and it was known to the devs working on it they don't have much legal grounds to stand on to get their name in there. If the employees, former or otherwise, want to see that policy changed then they should speak out about it before the next game comes out. Sounds like the guy got compensated for his work financially though, so I remain perfectly fine with my purchase of the GoTY.

Re: Soapbox: Why Apollo Justice Might Be The Best Ace Attorney Game

AnnoyingFrenzy

Gonna have to respectfully disagree. Imo Apollo wasn't a very interesting lead (which makes sense as the game was very much still focused on Phoenix's character over his), Klavier Gavin is a step down at prosecutor (in fact is probably my least favorite prosecutor in the series), Trucy Wright is kinda just, there, as an assistant it felt like to me. As far as the cases themselves, Turnabout Serenade felt like pulling teeth near the end there. All that said, it has one of the best, if not the best, villain in the series.

On a side note, was there a "Who can be the worst possible parent" competition going on? Because Phoenix, Gramarye, Mishram and a couple others are seriously awful.

Re: Bandai Namco Is Changing Its Logo In 2022

AnnoyingFrenzy

The text bubble makes it look like a messenger service and the color Magenta isn't an inherently fun color and I question how having a single color in your logo demonstrates diversity. Additonally, having such a generic look is not inspiring creativity. Imo this logo fails at everything they set out for it to do. Well, it is easy to reproduce at least.

Re: Feature: Game Boy Games We Probably Won’t See On Nintendo Switch Online

AnnoyingFrenzy

I remember when there were reliable sources that detailed Metroid Prime Trilogy coming to switch, a Switch Pro coming out last year (and the year before that), Persona 5 coming to switch, Retro Studios making Star Fox Grand Prix..... the list goes on. We'll see though. I believe if this is real, expect as much as they do with the other ones, the decent lineup at launch with obvious games missing, 3 games added every month or so until they inexplicably stop and then only come out periodically and the quality of the games vary incredibly.

Re: A Hand-Drawn Guide To Metroid Is Coming, And It Looks Absolutely Stunning

AnnoyingFrenzy

@The-Nate I will concede that Kraid has some pretty luscious locks in the manual for the original game (which I completely forgot about due to his later appearances looking completely different) although I still maintain that his hair is looking even more fabulous on the cover than in the manual. Probably because of the larger amount on his head and how much it flows, he clearly uses great conditioner.

Re: Doki Doki Literature Club Plus! Arrives Later This Month On Switch

AnnoyingFrenzy

@Deepdoop Well, I'll start by saying that it's nothing the game really does wrong. It's a well made game and I can see why so many people liked its twist, but in truth its the twist that disappointed me. Like most people I imagine, I went into the game knowing nothing (in truth I didn't even know it was a viral game, a friend of mine just told me try it out, if it wasn't for that, and the psychological horror tag I probably would have never played it). What I found upon playing was what at first looks like a normal dating sim, but I then learned that each girl has a "dark secret" for lack of a batter term. One suffered from depression, another alluded to parental abuse, and another was masochistic iirc. Basically, these were interesting characters that I wanted to learn more about and maybe even help them with their situation. Props to the character writer for writing interesting characters. Well... mostly interesting characters. One of the characters was kinda bland, maybe intentially so. So perhaps now you can imagine why halfway through the game when it shifts its focus entirely on that one character it left me disappointed (the 4th wall breaks were genius though). So its an interesting case where I came up with the game I thought it would be as I was playing that is more interesting to me than the game it ended up being. So its an entirely me thing.

TL/DR: The twist shifting the focus of the game away from the three interesting characters I wanted to learn more about entirely on the one character I couldn't care less about (even after the endings) is what disappointed me.
