Re: Feature: Nintendo Franchises We Want to See at E3 - Paper Mario

Dizzard

I really hope they go back to the style of the original two games and bring partners back. I don't mind if they try to innovate, but I think there are certain things that should act as the foundation rather than being left out.

Also don't be afraid to have plenty of creative wacky characters and locations. I don't want to see too many Toads hanging around.

Re: Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is Adventuring to 3DS

Dizzard

"Super" doesn't exactly fill me with hope.

I really enjoy the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series but Gates to Infinity was a bit of a step down. So I'm not sold on this yet.

I'm getting tired of adding "New" or "Super" to the start of all these games. Why can't it be "Fantabulous Pokemon Mystery Dungeon"?

Re: First Impressions: Hands On With Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee

As much as I have fond memories of playing the original Banjo Kazooie, I can't help but wonder if this game is going to stand out on it's own merits or just end up being "We desperately want to relive the glory days of Banjo-Kazooie!": The Game.

It still looks like heaps of fun though.

Re: Poll: Vote For Your Ten Must-Play Games On Nintendo 3DS

Dizzard

@LinkSword Yeah I agree with this.

It's still a bit odd that physical games and eShop games are being separated like that. They're all on the 3DS aren't they? Wouldn't it give a clearer view if we could vote on all of them at once?

It's almost like eShop games are being treated as inferior....in my opinion some of the best 3DS games are download only.

Re: Poll: Do Video Game Reviews Need To Have A Score?

Dizzard

Also, I think more people need to improve their own judgement when it comes to what they choose to play. They shouldn't treat a score as gospel, in the end all these reviews are written by people with their own tastes and biases. They're not omnipotent gods who know what's right for you.

Re: Poll: Do Video Game Reviews Need To Have A Score?

Dizzard

Honestly I think I'd rather scores were dropped. Too often I just scroll to the bottom and look at the score, to the point where I don't think the reviews are that useful anymore. I also appreciate how metacritic scores are messing with developers, I don't like the idea of that at all.

I think the score can make the actual review a waste of time. I don't read most of the reviews on this site. (unless I'm already interested in the game which defeats the purpose)

Granted these days I'm more likely to look at gameplay videos on youtube and use my own (generally accurate) judgement to decide what I play. Perhaps if you made video reviews with gameplay footage they would be more engaging to the community?

I think I'd prefer a Recommend/Avoid label system.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)

@BenAV

Did I occur to you that there will be plenty of people who never bought the original Majora's Mask? Especially considering it was such an oddball in the franchise. (Not to mention people too young to have played it)

If it does well it's not necessarily because people who played it before are buying it again.
