Re: Capcom Confirms That Monster Hunter's Live-Action Movie Adaptation Is Definitely Going Ahead

I'm in. People seem to think the Resident Evil games, all of them, are well written? They're horrible schlock. They're a parody of zombie movies getting progressively more ridiculous. Guess what the movies are. Might not follow the plot of the games, but it sure has the same vibe. No, they aren't "good" movies in the sense they'll never win any awards, but don't think Paul W.S. Anderson isn't fully self-aware. They're fun to watch and turn your brain off. If you're going into it looking for more than that, you're looking for the wrong thing, in my opinion. Like, what do you want from a Monster Hunter movie? Minimal plot and goofy action sequences, yeah? You'll get that.

Re: Guide: The Best Pokémon Games - Every Mainline Pokémon Game Ranked

Hard disagree with Sun and Moon's placement. I grew up with Pokemon, Gen I came out when I was in 4th grade and I was hooked. That being said, you can't simply overlook all the huge improvements to about everything in Sun and Moon. No HMs being a big one and the overall pace of the game feeling much less like a grind even when you are grinding. I struggle to play earlier entries more because they all feel slow in comparison. I'll look back at old games with rose-colored glasses, sure, but I don't let that cloud my judgement.

Re: Video: Civilization VI Gets Its First Nintendo Switch Trailer

Super interested in the controls for this. Back when I was with 2K, we tested the touchscreen controls for Civ5, and a lot of people thought in the office thought it was the best way to play the game. Worked very naturally. Hoping it is the same for the Switch, but also hope they have a motion control cursor like World of Goo, for example. The precise motion controls allow for it, so I hope it's an option. Gimme those control details!

I felt it was a great improvement over 17 on every account. Perhaps I wasn't looking for the same experience you were, but I've been happy with my purchase of it thus far. I have the Show on my PS4 when I want that, this is my on-the-go simple baseball game I can play with people without having to explain how everything works.

As someone who owns all the Mario and Sonic at the Olympics games, and the London and Vancouver PS3 Olympics games, this seems perfect for me. Was really sad there wasn't a Mario and Sonic game for the Winter Olympics this year, my brothers and I love to compete in these silly games even now in our old age. Hahaha

Re: Soapbox: The Super Mario Movie Might Not Be All That Great

I mean, my nieces absolutely love all these movies? Like, they're not Disney/Pixar, but they're certainly the 2nd best big animation studio around. Sing was a fantastic movie, as was the first Despicable Me. The Secret Life of Pets was their weakest one, but my nieces' favorite, so who cares what some old fogies think? Not everything it made for everyone.

Re: Feature: Killer Apps We Really Want To See On Nintendo Switch

That's fine if you don't want these, you aren't the general audience, if the majority of Switch owners were on this site, I'm sure the people running it would be very happy, but they aren't. These are things any device should have, really.

Anyways, Crunchyroll is so 2016. It's about their new service, VRV, now.
