Just because of one Nintendo game series follows the formula of remakes doesn't mean they all do. Actually Star Fox is the only series that does this.
Sure. I play it for the gameplay and I'm also always interested about the story. My favorite stories in Zelda games are Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild and Majora's Mask.
Maybe they shouldn't have cut all the depth from Rosalina's story. A good movie needs to have relatable characters with actual emotion and inner struggle. I don't mean making it full drama, but there should be at the very least some of that. Otherwise it's just soulless from one scene to another.
It's annoying how western animators completely misunderstand what makes something cute. Thankfully in this case they're at least forced to use the original models.
@IOI How was he underutilized? You see him more in Tears than any other Zelda game. I mean you didn't skip the geoglyph cutscenes telling the actual story?
@Yoshi3 They're not gonna do it. If OOT gets a remake they will ditch the climbing mechanic in favor for item- based exploration just like in the original.
Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero are both masterpieces, but I would start from 1 and then play 0, the difficulty of Zero can be overwhelming so 1 is good training.
@FredBiletnikoff MGS4 is a 3rd person story-based action adventure game. You use all kinds of devices to sneak past enemies and encounter great bosses. There's a lot of really good cinematic cutscenes.

Seriously how dumb you have to be to believe they would drop the winning formula for something everyone dislikes.
@SplatRay001
The geoglyph cutscenes from TotK were peak and the best story Zelda ever had (aside MM) so I can only assume by bad story you meant stuff like the repeating temple cutscenes.
As for actual bad stories just for comparison Twilight Princess and Wind Waker's stories had absolutely nothing at stake and cutscenes were nowhere near the level of sophistication and quality of BotW and TotK.
I thought Capcom fixed most OTE:s so you have an assist mode to do the QTEs automatically.
In other words the review sounds like you're complaining about things just because everyone else did back in the day. Not because you actually played the game.
Final Fantasy VIII has the best intro and the best final stage and boss fight in the series. The OST is incredible. The junction system is also really enjoyable if you know how to use it. There's no way it's 23:rd in the list behind some crappy spinoffs. Also Final Fantasy VI is overrated as hell. Almost all the cities in the game look the same and most characters are one dimensional. It should be nowhere near FFVII, VIII and IX which should be the top 3 in that order.
This is a horrible port. The backgrounds have been smeared with some horrendous filter. FF7 and 8 remasters look a lot better. FF8 remastered is the perfect jrpg actually.
Wanna know why Prime 1 was so great? Shigeru Miyamoto had his hands on its development.
As for MP4 the problem is not the NPCs or the desert. The real problem is the game is not big enough to warrant the long wait. How did they spend 6+ years for a 13 hour game? Also people were expecting some innovative gameplay mechanics like time traveling mechanics and it's just not there!
The PC version has a "QoL" feature that gives you all cards and maxes the GFs for free? Then what the ***** is the point of playing the game at all? Thank god this trash was not included in the Switch version.
Halo games are so bad. I don't see the fun in shooting 3 different enemy types in self-similar, undetailed grey corridors. The games don't even have puzzles or any other gameplay to relieve from the monotony.

Re: Xbox Is Reportedly Having "Very Big Discussions" About Exclusivity
I don't understand why they commited suicide in the first place. A console needs exclusives.

Something big, like a huge open world space game.

Re: Monolith Soft Talks Up Ganondorf's "Alluring Charm" In New Interview
It's easily the greatest incarnation of Ganondorf. Only the OOT version can compete and even that is slightly dated in certain ways.
Re: Movie Review: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie - A Faithful But Overstuffed Sequel
The game had awesome, emotional story for Rosalina. Did they just throw that to garbage?

Re: The New Castlevania Title "Is Not A Roguelike Or Roguelite Game"
Roguelites are so bring. I mean what's the fun in doing the same map over and over again. Hades 2 was pretty good, but not worth its metascore
Re: Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Remastered Switch Versions Hit With Last-Minute Delay
Seriously a pixel art game after all this time. Ascendance is a hard pass, Defiance was a pretty good finale for the series.

So is the 60fps update for Switch 1 too? Why can't anyone answer this?

The original Prime 4 logo was just a placeholder. It would have been really bad for a genuine logo.

There's no way it's not Reunion. That makes too much sense.

Re: Opinion: Metroid II Doesn't Care If Samus Lives Or Dies
Isn't this just reaching I don't think the developers were thinking any of this. The brief death scene is probably just a problem of GB:s limitation.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy IX (Switch) - A Strong Entry In The Classic Series Despite Some Rough Edges

Re: Opinion: Resident Evil Requiem Needs To Solve The Series' Villain Problem
Wesker is one of the worst villains. He looks like a Matrix character and is just annoying.
I think they should consider making the main villain something else than a person, like a dangerous special horde or something.
Re: Video: Skyrim Still Isn't 60fps On Switch 2, But Here's How It Fares Against Switch 1
Who cares about this ***** game anymore. We have two open world Zelda games that blow this thing out of the water anyway.

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of Link And Zelda's Live-Action Looks?
They look as perfect as possible and anyone disagreeing has an awful taste.
Also these images obviously aren't from the movie, they are just shots depicting the outfits. Just a bit of info for dumbos calling this cosplay...
