Re: Soapbox: Grinding Is Poor Gameplay Design That Doesn’t Respect Your Time

Grinding is good if it's complimented by good mechanics or exploration. A good example is the choice in Minecraft to either get experience as you explore, mindlessly do an activity you like, or grind the materials to build a self sustaining farm. Another example would be grinding for certain items and stuff in BOTW. The combat and game feel is so good that I don't mind grinding.

Re: Rumour: Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remakes Will Be Revealed For Switch Next Month

@kaiofelipe Yeah, it's a good feeling for sure, and Sinnoh could've used the opportunity better. I hope that something can light a fire under game freak to see the potential their franchise has. I genuinely think they're gonna start losing sales from teen/ adult fans in the next gen or two if they keep things up. Despite Sinnoh being my favorite region, I honestly don't know if I'll bring myself to buy it if it's like Sw/Sh
Edit: sorry I got off topic. Pokemon is like this well of thoughts and feelings lately and it's really easy to go off track talking about it

Re: Feature: Remembering Super Mario 3D Land, 3D World’s Oft-Forgotten Predecessor

Coming back to this article as I just had a cool idea people have already probably said before. What if 3d land was remade in the 3d world style, with World's multiplayer added in along with the music redone in the 3d world style. They could even throw in another small bonus open world game like Bowser's Fury!
Edited in idea(s):
1) Since peach is captured, Daisy, Rosalina, or Wario could be a starting character with Peach being unlocked after the main game.
2) The Bowser's Fury style mode could be Tanooki themed.

Re: Random: This AGDQ Speedrun Of Majora's Mask Is Basically Magic

For anyone who doesn't get speed running or straight up hates it, it's just a different way to enjoy the game and master it. Some skip to the end glitches may be a bit unimpressive or uninteresting, but most speed running tricks require a lot of practice and precision to pull off, so just because someone skips a boss, or something like that doesn't mean they aren't good. And for those who still don't like that, that's why 100% speed runs are a thing as well
