Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong

Dpishere

As much as I do want a new 3D Mario game I have waited for a new 3D Donkey Kong for much, much longer. If this game causes a 3D Mario game to arrive later when it is usually an early game for a systems lifespan I guess that is a price I am willing to pay to get a new 3D Donkey Kong.

That being said I don't think it is going to be 4 to 5 years for a new 3D Mario. Maybe a couple years at most is what I am thinking.

Re: Review: Gex Trilogy (Switch) - A Happy Throwback That Couldn't Be Any More '90s

I grew up renting Gex 3 Deep Cover Gecko incredibly often so I have a fondness for that game. It is one of the best 3D platformers on the N64 in my book, I am looking forward to experiencing this whole trilogy again, I never really thought it would be rereleased.

It always seemed like a series that was destined to be forgotten and I am glad that is not the case.

Re: Talking Point: With Prices Rising, Are Your Gaming Habits Changing?

Dpishere

I know I have been going back to older games that are cheaper myself, last new game I bought was probably Tears of the Kingdom.

I have no intention of paying full price for games when I already have so many older games I have yet to experience. With sales and whatnot for me personally I have probably spent less on games than I ever have before, but I am still enjoying what I am playing.

I don't really ever get hyped for new games anymore.

Re: Anniversary: Donkey Kong Country Is Now 30 Years Old (SNES)

Donkey Kong Country is one of those few games that I can replay almost infinitely. It is like Jet Force Gemini, where I play through it almost yearly sometimes a couple times in a year even.

I still love the way the game looks and sounds, it brings me back to a simpler time and it is always fun when I can get my brother to join in for some co-op, me using the obviously superior Kong, that being Diddy. While I will agree the gameplay has been improved in the sequels that came to follow there is something about the original that makes it more likely for it to be the one I replay. It's such a timeless game.

@FredsBodyDouble Yes it is. I prefer the other two games I mentioned but Darkwood has a great atmosphere to it, lengthy too at around 20 hours for me to beat it.
General gameplay is gathering resources and exploring during the day so you have better odds of surviving the night, successfully doing so grants you extra resources to spend on traders for stuff like ammunition. After while you can get loaded on ammunition but you never feel like a one man army. Every night is tense even if nothing ever happens.
