Re: Video Game YouTuber Dunkey Launches His Own Indie Publishing Company

That would count for a lot of Youtubers then though. How many people have said the same things about Zelda? And yet there continue to exist hour-long videos.

To me it is clear that Dunkey has a lot of passion for video games and he definitely knows what he is talking about. His videos obviously focus more on entertainment but I am sure that he can give serious opinions on wether or not a game has the right amount of quality put into it.

Re: The Metroid Dread Vibes Are Strong In Action-RPG Platformer 'Trinity Fusion'

People pretending it has nothing do with Dread is just ridiculous. Look at the animations from the very beginning of the trailer and you‘ll see it. Heck even the death animation is the exact same thing. They probably have their own level design, etc. but the similarities are just too obvious.
It‘s like Greta van Fleet‘s singer telling you he doesn‘t base his style off of Led Zeppelin.

Re: Square Enix Confirms It's Making Final Fantasy NFTs

"In case the Enjin services becomes unavailable in the future, you may lose access to the NFT digital certificate of authenticity and digital version of the figure."

This is the main reason why I would never consider buying NFTs. I might as well throw my money out the window.

Re: Soapbox: 20 Years Later, Super Mario Sunshine Is Still The Best 3D Mario

I used to love it like you do but revisiting it was a bit of a bummer. Sometimes controls work like a charm and sometimes they don‘t. Some missions are just not worth completing to me. Like waiting an eternity to reach the sh**iest bonus level in the history of mankind. Or the watermelon mission when you f it up in the last two meters. And don‘t even get me started on the blue coins they‘re simply not worth collecting but they are mandatory if you want 120 stars.
Don’t get me wrong, the game will always hold a special place in my heart and there are countless enjoyable moments in it. But playing it for a short time on Switch made me think that I would rather keep it in the past as a good childhood memory.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Mario Kart Game?

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. There simply is no contest anymore. They perfected the gameplay mechanics to the very last bit and the fun factor is practically endless. If there was a competition for the perfect multiplayer game this game has to take the cake.

I think you have to start somewhere. To me it feels more like playing around with the content than actually harming it. And I guess that would not be a problem, if it weren‘t for the "sharing it with everybody" attitude. That’s what makes things a bit more complicated.

Downloading is illegal that‘s for sure. But what does "format shifting" cover? If you own a device that lets you copy a switch cartridge to your PC and use it only for yourself - is that illegal as well? Genuine question. I guess there is no definitive answer, yet.

Whatever it is, I think the modding community simply has a lot of fun experimenting with games like SMO or BOTW and ultimately the worst thing that can happen to them is that they have to take it down. They don‘t lose any money.
