Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Entitled Fury

BRAINFOX

I feel awful for Next Level. It actually looked like fun little game. I was more upset by the double Animal Crossing (2013 Directs soured me on hearing about anything related to the franchise since it took so long to hear remotely anything about XCX or SMT x FE) and Yoshi's Wooly World getting yet MORE TIME explaining it when it didn't need it. At least FE Fates, SMT x FE, and XCX trailers all happened in a row, so I could stop the video right after.

Re: Poll: We Need to Talk About amiibo - Where Do You Stand?

BRAINFOX

All they have to do is simply make more of them. And by more, I mean ACTUALLY MORE. 2-3 Marths per store is not enough considering that they're probably coming in a full pallet of Peach and Super Mario amiibos. Just focus on the new waves and make what there wasn't enough of because those will definitely NOT be at risk of staying unsold on shelves.

Re: Video: Xenoblade Chronicles X May Have Been Subject to a Slight Graphics Downgrade

BRAINFOX

The left one looks like it's set later in the day with the main difference being the floors, the wall in the distance and the Dolls being gone while the right one looks like it's around noon because of how much brighter it is and less sunlight coming in. The shot of the MC starting up the Doll just looks worse all around with no real reason for it to be that way, console constraints or not since it wasn't like the original shot was all that graphically intensive looking anyways. The only shot that looks genuinely downgraded to me is that last bit with the construction Doll.

Re: Poll: Have You Been Able to Buy the Super Smash Bros. Controller, GameCube Adapter and amiibo You Want?

BRAINFOX

I managed to get Marth, Wii Fit Trainer, and some rarer ones ordered as well as the Smash bundle thanks to the guys at my Gamestop being total bros and getting one brought in from out of state. I bet if you check conventions like Wizard World or C2E2, you'll see the rare ones being sold at 4-5x the price in dozens because scumbag resellers bought out the stock to make some easy cash.

Re: Talking Point: A History of the Sexualisation of Samus

BRAINFOX

Friendly reminder that jimmies are being rustled over how a person who doesn't even exist in our world looks in a video game designed by people who aren't bothered by such a topic when far more unrealistic things exist and happen in it. ZSS is far more realistic in design than a good majority of characters from Street Fighter, Soul Caliber, King of Fighters, Blazblue etc.

Re: Talking Point: It's Time for Nintendo to Drop Region Locking

BRAINFOX

Instead of region locking the system, region lock games that are guaranteed to come out in the west at some point. Better yet, hand the localization of most niche games to XSEED, D3, or NIS if they seem too risky. At this stage, there is absolutely no reason big games from Japan should be kept there unless they're shovelware or will sell less than 1000 copies both digitally and physically.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Aim to Produce Mature, Genre-Defining Storytelling Experiences

BRAINFOX

I'm fine with making more mature stories and settings as long as that doesn't mean changing the current IPs Nintendo is best known for. They shouldn't have to change their ways just because it's popular to make violent games set in a realistic setting and tie some big epic plot in there. So far, the only franchises that could be more like that that I know of are either Fire Emblem, Metroid, and maybe Legend of Zelda. If Nintendo did move towards making more mature games dedicated towards the hardcore crowd, they should 1. choose the right IP
2. make reasonable adjustments
3. or revive an old IP and reinvent it for the modern gamer.
Remember, just because a game is rated M doesn't mean mature gamers are the ones most interested in them. Just look at Call of Duty.

Re: Square Enix Laments "Increasingly Difficult" Console Market

BRAINFOX

If SE wants people to make them money, they need to stop being a bunch of ducks and give them a reason to! None of this FF13-3 Chapter 2-Page 4- Paragraph 6-Verse 2 CRAP! All of these games in Japan that are just teasing us are being left there while the garbage is brought in. They know what to do, they just have pull their heads out of their butts and get to it!

Re: Satoru Iwata: Customers Understanding The Wii U "Will Take a Little Time"

BRAINFOX

We just need developers to actually work on some actual projects for the system. None of this ports BS. I'm sick and tired of seeing the Wii U getting the cold shoulder from developers and publishers. I know we can't just expect every game to be developed just for us when it's nearly shipping out to stores, but then again, the games that are being co developed for it should get the same treatment. If Aliens and Injustice get DLC and CE's on 360/PS3/PC, then so should we. They can't expect more Wii U owners to buy their games if they don't give potential owners a reason to pick one up, let alone the ones that actually one the freaking thing.

Re: "All The Bravest" Square Enix Trademark Was for iOS Game, Not Bravely Default Localisation

BRAINFOX

@FluttershyGuy Seems like all the big companies from the 90's are that way now. Square, Enix, Capcom, and Konami. Square Enix puts money before its own fanbase (killing off any fan Chrono projects doesn't help). Capcom is just unpredictable with its wild cancellations, on disc DLC, awful localization, and unwillingness to listen to its fans. Konami...I don't even know anymore. Most of their franchises are basically dead now or handled by someone else. What happened to that new Contra game that was in the works? Mercury Stream is doing a great job with Lords of Shadow, but I miss the days of Konami developed Castlevania, Contra, Gradius, Metal Gear etc. games. They even own all of Hudson now but aren't doing anything at all with them. I miss the 90's
