Re: F-Zero 99 Update Version 1.1.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Dpullam

@HalBailman Haha. I am glad at the very least you are enjoying those games! I have been slowly transitioning to different gaming experiences which may be why I lose interest quickly. Regardless, they are still quality titles, and I am glad for F-Zero 99 in particular simply because it brings in a whole new audience to the F-Zero franchise. If something like this helps bring the possibility of a new F-Zero remake or entirely new game to fruition, I am all for it.

Re: F-Zero 99 Update (Version 1.1.0) Adding New "Classic Race" Mode This Week

Dpullam

@HalBailman Thank you for the information. It still doesn't sound like something I am interested in though. I do appreciate your explanation, but F-Zero has never been super exciting to me, unless playing it side by side with family or friends. I was barely able to get a couple hours of play out of either Tetris 99 or Pacman 99. I think the only game similar to either of those that I actually enjoyed was Super Mario Bros 35, and as everyone knows, that was a limited time release. Games like F-Zero 99 for me, are good in very small bursts, but don't have much staying power. They don't tend to hold my attention for very long. And also, F-Zero 99 is specifically listed as part of the Battle Royale genre, so at the very least , it has quite a few similar elements.

Re: Is Dave The Diver An Indie Game? The Game Awards' Host Weighs In

Dpullam

This particular topic has been popping up all over the internet, and opinions on the subject are all over the place. For me, it is pretty cut and dry. I don't consider Dave the Diver indie due to the publisher overseeing the development studio. At the very least, this is bringing some additional buzz to the VGA, which is good or bad depending on how you look at the situation.

For me, it is definitely the North American variant this time. The color palette is so far cool, and I love the characters designs. It would be a unique box to have in your collection.

Re: Soapbox: Ganondorf's Villainous Intro In Ocarina Of Time Is One Of Gaming's Best

Dpullam

His ominous introduction is absolutely one of my standout character introductions in the history of my gaming life. I'll never forget meeting him and discovering his evil intentions when I was so little. Those days are a distant memory but every time I am reminded of a video game from my youth, a long forgotten memory reappears and graces my presence. This was another one of those.

Re: Feature: Why I Still Love My Wii U

Dpullam

One thing I do appreciate about the Wii U generations is the level of creativity and innovation Nintendo had to implement into the Wii U to entice people who were confused on what a Wii U actually was. We saw some pretty creative ideas introduced thanks to the Wii U gamepad. It was also one of those controllers that was far more comfortable than you would think despite its size. While it wasn't my favorite Nintendo console by any means, I do appreciate its place in Nintendo's history, and I can see all kinds of cool details and stories coming in the future when the system is barely a memory in most people's minds.

Re: Feature: Zelda: Ocarina Of Time - Every Ocarina Song, Ranked From 'Worst' To Best

Dpullam

For the scarecrow song, when I was a kid, I was always trying to create an original sounding song that felt like it belonged in Ocarina of Time. I did that not only because of the catchy tune, but also because it was easier for me to remember the song of it was catchy, and it felt like I was adding my own little piece to the game, which felt pretty cool as a kid. I couldn't bring myself to just make the simplest song I could.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 25th)

I will be primarily playing God of War Ragnarok on PlayStation 5 and perhaps some Fortnite dabbled in. I have already completed all tiers of the battle pass for this season so there isn't much else to do in terms of progression rather than just playing the game. God of War Ragnarok has certainly been fun though, and seeing the relationship between Kratos and his son deepen and twist at different point sin the plot has been a fun experience.

Re: Soapbox: Losing Control - Why Zelda’s ReDead Strike Fear Into Our Souls

Dpullam

They certainly struck fear in the very depths of soul when I was a kid. I was genuinely scared when encountering them while trying to get one of the songs in Ocarina of Time. (The one that turns the world from day to night). After getting that ability, I was much less afraid of them. I will always remember that fear, and that memory was brought back to the surface thanks to this article. Thank you for unlocking another buried memory.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Drops Out Of US "Top 20" Games Chart For First Time

Dpullam

I mean, the game had a heck of a run, it was bound to fall off eventually. I personally have been patiently waiting for the next entry in the Mario Kart franchise ever since about 2 years after Mario Kart 8 originally released on the Wii U. I only play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Nintendo Switch with my family. I can't stand to play it anymore by myself.

Re: Soapbox: Fortnite OG Reminds Me For The First Time In Years That I’m Playing A Battle Royale

Dpullam

I still do enjoy some Fortnite, especially this new Fortnite OG season. The game was getting too far out in left field for me to enjoy what it was offering. I am having a much better time with it now, and I have been enjoying playing it both solo and with my brother in duos. I personally feel it is the most well rounded Battle Royale shooter out there, and I haven't had a similar experience with any of the others I have played. I just like that it is easier to get into, and doesn't turn into a sweat lobby type of game.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Hey! Pikmin

Dpullam

I actually prefer the European variant by a wide margine this time. There is quite a bit more interesting detail going on in that one than in the North American variant. And it just seems more colorful.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 4th)

I have getting back into The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom recently since I never finished the game when it first released even though I had put close to 120 hours into it. It has been reinvigorating playing it again and learning more about the lore, and grasping a deeper understanding of the game's mechanics. There is always something new to figure out in this game, regardless of how long you play it. That is probably one of the best things about this entry.
