I got the paraglider about 25 hours into the game. NPCs kept telling me to go to lookout landing. Some shrines were impossible to complete so eventually I went.
@Rykdrew I played it with no skill tree and no items and it was a very good challenge. Had to do the same thing with Fire Emblem this year (no Somniel).
I bought Sonic Frontiers for $30 a few months after release. With companies like Sega and Ubisoft, we have nothing to worry about. We're not paying full price on release day anyway.
The small deadzone in the analog stick, the thumbstick grips, the isolated sunken D-pad, the directional guides, the comfortable grip, the inventive colour schemes, the large primary action button surrounded by periphery action buttons, the analog triggers, the easily tappable second analoge stick... GCN is king <3 for 3D games.
For 2D games, I have to go with the Wii U Pro controller. That thing is a SNES controller with analogue sticks. And an absurd battery life.
I really liked it. I think it could've benefited from being a bit longer to flesh out the characters, and they really shouldn't have used all that licensed music ... but it was still really special. A movie for the fans.
I really enjoyed it. Bowser and Peach were way out of character and there was far too much licensed music and none of the main characters had proper arcs...
BUT
It was filled to the brim with fan service and I couldn't help but smile through the whole thing.
Everything about this game is goofy as heck except for the classic gameplay which is amazing on Maddening. Loving the game so far even with all cheese.
My Sonic game gear collection has been Sonic Adventure DX on the GCN for the longest time so I'm happy to finally have the collection on a newer console.
E3 used to always be an event to look forward to. What a great week to be a fan. The summer direct last year was just spoilers for Xenoblade 3. It's not the same.
I enjoyed Yooka Laylee even though only the first two levels were great. I enjoyed a Hat in Time even though only the first level was great. And I enjoyed Poi. So I think I'm the target audience for this.

Re: Atlus Accidentally Reveals Two New Persona Games
If Microsoft paid for timed exclusivity then I have no reason to doubt that Sega will release these on Nintendo at a later date.

@Deepdoop
It's the third best selling console of all time.
Re: Sonic Superstars Sees The Return Of Classic-Style Sonic With New Visuals
This looks awesome. I'll be purchasing Sonic Superstars Plus in 2024.
Re: Random: Zelda: TOTK Player Beats All Regional Phenomena Quests Without The Paraglider
I got the paraglider about 25 hours into the game. NPCs kept telling me to go to lookout landing. Some shrines were impossible to complete so eventually I went.
Re: Atlus Listening To Etrian Odyssey Fan Feedback For Future Entries
@Expa0 I see you are a man of culture as well (Dark Spire).

Put that 'Hold the Door' skill back where it came from or so help me!
Re: Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection Surpasses One Million Sales Worldwide
Are the Legends games the only ones we're missing now? I wish all the IP holders released exhaustive collections like Capcom is doing with Rockman!

Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Quest In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
I think the two hours I spent on Eventide were the best two hours in the whole game for me.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Physical Soundtrack Revealed By 'iam8bit'
I can't help but laugh in the final few seconds of "Peaches" every time.
The OST is amazing.
Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
It's hard to rate. It wasn't an amazing film by any means, but it was 1.5 hours of pure Mario fan service for the fans. So I still loved it.
Re: Movie Review: The Super Mario Bros. Movie - A Fun Ride That Substitutes Story For Spectacle
I really liked it. I think it could've benefited from being a bit longer to flesh out the characters, and they really shouldn't have used all that licensed music ... but it was still really special. A movie for the fans.
Re: Video: Let's Discuss The Super Mario Bros. Movie
I really enjoyed it. Bowser and Peach were way out of character and there was far too much licensed music and none of the main characters had proper arcs...

Everything about this game is goofy as heck except for the classic gameplay which is amazing on Maddening. Loving the game so far even with all cheese.
Re: Poll: What's The Best Indiana Jones Game? Rate Your Favourites For Our Upcoming Ranking
@ZZalapski I think Westley being the human character would also be great.
Re: Sega Explains Why Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Costs $80
What strange reasoning. Persona 5 Royal is 130 hours and they sold that at regular price. And it was discounted a month later.
Re: Seth Rogen On Voicing Donkey Kong In The Mario Movie: "It's Gonna Sound Like Me And That's It"
I wish they used the existing voice actors. We were all gonna see it anyway

Drive pass?
Then I'll pass.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Hype Levels for Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
This is the Zelda game with the longest development time right? That should mean something.

Re: Rumour: Lego Is Looking To Take On Mario Kart With 'Lego 2K Drive'
Should've called it LEGO Racers 3

LOL!
Re: How To Save Money On Pokémon Scarlet & Violet: The Hidden Treasure Of Area Zero DLC
I'm hoping they release complete cartridges like they did with Sword/Shield. That's the only way they can get me to buy this.

I like Trains.
Re: Random: Mario's Shoes Are Stepping Into Nintendo Store NY (Yes, Really)
Are they steel toes?
Re: Poll: What’s Your Favourite New Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC Track In Wave 4?
I have to go with Waluigi Stadium because it looks and feels like a MK8 track instead of a mobile port like most of the other ones.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Has Been Updated To Version 2.3.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
It looks like there are spots for 5 more characters which is quite exciting
Re: Detective Pikachu's Movie Sequel Might Have Found Its Director
How are they going to put Ryan Reynolds back into that Pikachu's body?
Re: 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
Tears of the Kingdom about to bump Skyrim off this list.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Lands Free Switch Demo, Out Today
For anyone saying it's too easy - try playing without the items or skill tree. I had a blast playing it that way.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 4 Launches Next Week
I'm happy we're finally getting something from Double Dash, although I'd like a track from the special cup.

@DwaynesGames you get all 8. It's 8 separate pdfs
Re: Nintendo Is Officially Skipping E3 2023
E3 used to always be an event to look forward to. What a great week to be a fan.
The summer direct last year was just spoilers for Xenoblade 3. It's not the same.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Fire Emblem Fates
I still think Conquest is one of the best games in the series gameplay-wise.
Re: Review: Clive 'N' Wrench - A Banjo-Kazooie-Style Throwback That Hits All The Wrong Notes
I enjoyed Yooka Laylee even though only the first two levels were great. I enjoyed a Hat in Time even though only the first level was great. And I enjoyed Poi. So I think I'm the target audience for this.
Re: Naruto X Boruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Announced For Switch
Still waiting for a physical release of these games
Edit: I just found out that this one is getting a physical release. Not sure why the first three didn't I'll take what I can get.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'Tower Of Doooom' DLC Will Spook Next Week
@CapitalQ I agree. This game definitely shipped complete.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope 'Tower Of Doooom' DLC Will Spook Next Week
This was an amazing game but the comments above mine show why it didn't sell very well. Ubisoft did this to themselves.
