Re: Review: Tengami (Wii U eShop)

I enjoyed a lot but it is really short. It took just short of 2 hours and that's because I got stuck twice. Nice experience but not for those that care about how many hours they get for their money.

@Kirk You know, people evolve. Maybe he wasn't aware before and the actual poopoocadoodlestorm has opened his eyes, or thought differently and changed his mind.
If we thought the same about everything throughout all our lifes we'd be fools. Perception, knowledge... are not carved on stone. Or do you think exactly the same way as you did ten years ago?

As for the matter of sexism, I don't quite understand the denial of many gamers. It is there, everywhere and there's nothing wrong about pointing it out. I'm a straight, white, well-off male and I don't like that 99% of women in this industry are depicted the way they are and a big part of it is because there are women in my life I love and feel that are being constantly diminished just because they are not men. And I don't like it.

I don't want all games to represent a perfect (and subjective) world but it wouldn't hurt to have more true women around. And of course, I don't want to have them make what I want (in that case Platinum would be making Scalebound for WiiU and Metroid would be on 3DS, among many other things) but we can't and shouldn't have this level of sexism.

@odd69 The developers made the game they wanted and now people can criticize it. I don't see the problem, why do people always put free speech as a one way street when talking about these things?
I believe it is good to mention the issue because MAYBE there are people with kids that don't want them to experience this kind of views yet, which is fine by my books. Information isn't bad. The lack of it is.

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Super Smash Bros

I love this game. My friends and I played it for hours and hours. Each of us had chosen a character and played always with it. Mine was Samus, the others were Link, Kirby, Jigglypuff, Luigi and Pikachu although the one who played with the yellow mouse also played with DK, Mario and C. Falcon, trying to stop being the one with less kills.

Great memories.

With so many good games on N64 and you keep talking about mediocrity. Where are the Turoks, Perfect Dark, GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, Bettle Adventure Racing, Ridge Racer, World Driver Championship, F-1 WGP, F-1 WGP 2, Pilotwings, ShadowMan, F-Zero X, Extreme G, Smash Bros, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer, Rogue Squadron, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, Donkey Kong 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask...?

Re: Review: Bayonetta (Wii U eShop)

DarkCoolEdge

I've never complained about that dumb number at the bottom of the review but there is always a first time and to give an 8 to Bayonetta is ridiculous. The best game of its genre in many years, maybe the best ever, deserves at least a 9 and probably a 10.

I don't understand how can you give just an 8 and yes, I know 8 is a very good grade but this game is more than very good.
