@Elitepatriot Cheers. I had something I liked very much stolen too years ago. I can relate. But on the bright side, maybe now with the Switch, you get a second chance to try the game.
@Elitepatriot Sucks your console was stolen. I do know a very good detective who can help you find it. He's about 1′ 4″ in height, a bit on the furry side, but has a very electrifying personality.
@Yalloo Oh wow, thinking of that reminds me something I didn't like about Twilight Princess. Many items were so dungeon specific, it was just extra baggage once the dungeon was over.
@Elbow Well don't wait too long to play it. I myself should give other the games a try if they were anything like the RPG. Only minor gripe with Like a Dragon is it's bit too grindy in some parts.
Rather that's good or bad, i guess depends on your level of patience. What got me through was the charm of the story and it's characters.
I haven't played the game in years, yet I recall every moment of the experience and still listen to the soundtrack from time to time. Never had a JRPG hit me so hard.
The only game I played so far in this franchise is "Like a Dragon", which was the first JRPG I enjoyed to the fullest. It made me want to stick around till the end with it's heartwarming yet absurd story.
@VoidofLight Hmm.. Off topic for sure, but suddenly I want a Pokemon x Yokai watch x Fossil Fighters x Digimon x Persona x Shin Megami Tensei x Dragon Quest x Monster Rancher x Final Fantasy x Monster Hunter crossover game.
Someone needs to get all these studios in a room and make such a game happen.
@HeadPirate Im amazed. Even tired you're making an effort to inform everyone. Really, I mean that. It's good so others will know exactly what's going on here.
@Ryu_Niiyama You don't use social media? How is that even possible? Reddit? Twitter? The ancient Facebook? The resurrected corpse Myspace?
Jokes aside. You should google it if you can't see any images. It's pretty cool. I won't spoil it for ya. Japan gets the best goodies.
Edit: Oh and about last time. I'm sorry my joke didn't land. In my head I was making a joke about how Xbox is just happy to have anyone on their platform, but sadly it didn't hit the way I intended.
@dreadpirateflappy @Indielink Hey, just wanna say I think I'll end my comments with jking from now on.
I figured the absurdity of my words were a indicator I wasn't serious, but seems half the time people think I am. I'll try to be more clearer when im joking in the future.
@MrGawain There isn't any benefit to the PS5 Pro imo. The base PS5 is fine as is. Would have been fine for another 6 years. The thing just launched 4 years ago.
Hardware wise, it's powerful enough to get a good 10 years out before making a jump. Personally, for 700$, I can just buy a Switch or the upcoming Switch 2 and still have enough leftover to bring home a bundle of games.
When PS6 launches it will sell for a modest 899$. When the PS6 Pro launches it will sell for the low low price of 1199$.
So save up your pennies. You will need every cent for not only the game system, but also the games which will cost roughly 90$ minus the DLC of course.
A poor distress creature pleads for Wario to save his kindgom. Wario declines, until it's mentioned there's a beautiful princess waiting. Wario realizes Princess = loads of money. So he recruits Waluigi, and together they save the princess' bank.
@TotalHenshin It's amazing how many great games never made it oversees. Luckily, there are groups of dedicated fans who do English patches. Heck, some games I found out were already in English to begin with for some reason.
@HeadPirate It's cool. The perspective of time is wonderful. A kid in the 80's couldn't imagine how much graphics would change in 90's. A 90's kid thought the same in 00's and 00's kids thought the same as of today.
It's been roughly 50 years since videogames first entered homes and yet how much they evolved is amazing.
@Overzeal Yeah, read that myself one day when I did a random dive of American basketball player Michael Jordan, and how is image was used freely in some Chinese markets.
Disney went through it too. Given how much the mobile games made, that is a paltry sum to win.
@HeadPirate Well to be fair, humans started it by creating powerful orbs to imprison Pokemon for the thrill of pitting them against eachother for human entertainment.
I can see where the want for destroying humans come from. But, Pokemon are just gosh darn adorable killers.
I never finished the first game. After the cool factor of killing robo dinos wears off, everything is just repetitive. The story is dull, and the characters lack any personality. There's no excitement to be found because everything is melodramatic.
Other than that, it's just open world tick boxes found in games from 10 years ago. It really is telling how little the needle has moved when it comes to innovation within the open world genre.
@Yoshi3 Easy. You place the main character in a castle with zero dialogue and watch him move left, right, up, down for 30 mins an episode till he reaches Dracula.

Re: Get A Closer Look At Yakuza Kiwami On Switch In New 'Play It Together' Trailer
Wow, a co-op single player game. Sounds good!
The only game I played so far in this franchise is "Like a Dragon", which was the first JRPG I enjoyed to the fullest. It made me want to stick around till the end with it's heartwarming yet absurd story.
Re: Review: REYNATIS (Switch) - Underbaked Action-RPG Fare That Plays Rough On Switch
@VoidofLight Oh but it is how this works, and Monolithsoft failed spectacularly for not stepping up. Next time pick a different genre.
Re: Review: REYNATIS (Switch) - Underbaked Action-RPG Fare That Plays Rough On Switch
@VoidofLight Well Enix makes games too, so they are guilty by association.

Re: Review: REYNATIS (Switch) - Underbaked Action-RPG Fare That Plays Rough On Switch
@JokerCK Well, it's not like the reviews so far of the game have been glowing. Other sites are giving it low scores aswell.
Re: Tetsuya Nomura Contemplates Retirement And Concluding Kingdom Hearts
It concluded with the first entry. A nice story and what if of two franchises. Everything else is just a mess of convoluted plots.
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
@Keegsy Cheers! Glad it's all good then!
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
@Keegsy @Vivianeat How is the game so far anyways? One review I read it's too hand holdy and another it's a bit shallow in places with it's minigames.
Re: Review: The Plucky Squire (Switch) - Enormously Charming, But Not So Plucky On Switch
How unplucky for the Switch. Hopefully with some pluck, the devs will fix those issues soon. Cross your fingers for good pluck.

@Dakotastomp Well dang. I mistook the hairstyle for some sort of big cat. Thanks for the correction.
Re: Nintendo And Pokémon File Lawsuit Against Palworld Developer Pocketpair
@HeadPirate I would, but I gave up trying to do that a long time ago. Too exhausting.
Re: Donkey Kong Country-Inspired Platformer 'Nikoderiko' Hits Switch Next Month
@Uncle_Franklin It's a lion with a highscool varsity jacket. How does that not scream Im hip and cool with the kids?
I think some thought is put into it, just not as much time focused on character designs and more time on gameplay mechanics. Needs balance of both.

Re: Broken Sword - Shadow Of The Templars: Reforged Lands Last-Minute Delay On Switch
Well that's not fair. If the Switch version is delayed then every version should be delayed.

That's how powerful the Vita is.
Re: Pokémon Wins $15 Million Copyright Lawsuit Against Chinese Mobile Game Developers
@Alpha008 I disagree. Yeah I agree it should be taken down, but im disagreeing because we need one dissent in these comments.

In the meantime I look forward to this collection of games.

Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
I never finished the first game. After the cool factor of killing robo dinos wears off, everything is just repetitive. The story is dull, and the characters lack any personality. There's no excitement to be found because everything is melodramatic.
Other than that, it's just open world tick boxes found in games from 10 years ago. It really is telling how little the needle has moved when it comes to innovation within the open world genre.
Re: Alucard And Richter Create A Symphony In New 'Castlevania: Nocturne' Trailer
