Re: Video: Hot Wheels Unleashed Shows Off Its Licensed Launch Day Cars

Too bad it’s not the 60’s Adam West Batmobile…

The only hot wheels game I’ve ever played was on the gamecube. There was a story mode that was ok, but the split screen multiplayer was unbelievably fun with friends. I don’t know how it holds up though… I haven’t played it in a long long time.

Edit: I think it was Hot Wheels: Velocity X

Re: Nintendo Asks That You Don't Co-Stream The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, Thanks Very Much

It’s not ideal, but do people realize that they can open the direct in 1 tab and whoever they want to listen to in the other?

Both would be live events so it’s easy to match the timing…

I guess phones can’t always watch 2 videos at the same time. Reactions can be posted and watched afterwards though. My guess would be they want an accurate count of viewers or it’s Nintendo being Nintendo.

Back in my day game over meant start over!!!!!! What does everyone get a trophy nowadays?!?!?!

Just kidding, game overs feel archaic at this point. It basically just pulls you out of the game and makes you sit through more loading screens. Making games more accessible for people is always good, hopefully they also have a challenge mode to make it harder for experienced players.

Re: Netflix Is Reportedly Eager To Expand Into Video Games

E_Gadds_Garage

Well Netflix knows that their time is running out. Everyday more and more companies are creating their own streaming services, removing content from Netflix, leaving them with only their original content…

Netflix will always have the same problem, which is relying too much on other creators to do the heavy lifting. Video games would be a strange shift but the same problem exists.

Companies have figured out they don’t need a middle man, you can create your own streaming service for your own content.

Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

E_Gadds_Garage

My rankings move around quite a bit, but right now:

1. Wind Waker
2. Knights of the Old Republic
3. Mario Galaxy
4. Luigi’s Mansion
5. Breath of the Wild
6. Pikmin / Paper Mario 64 / TTYD…….
Just to name a few

Luigi’s Mansion 3 is another more recent title, it comes close to cracking the top 10 but not quite there. Definitely a top 3 switch game for me though.

Re: NPD Reveals Top 10 Best-Selling Star Wars Games Of All Time In The US

Remember you can’t spell weak without EA…

I still can’t believe how badly they messed up the battlefront games. The original games provided a perfect formula, but EA releases a bare minimum effort. 2015 Battlefront was just pitiful. I didn’t play the sequel, I did hear that one is better though. And in EA’s own mind, they were successful since they sold so much.

My top 3 would be:
Knights of the Old Republic
Classic Battlefront
Lego Star Wars

Re: Thief Simulator 2 Is Sneaking Onto Switch, But Not Until 2023

E_Gadds_Garage

What a weird concept, I think what this game really needs is some personality or branding. Imagine if the hitman games were called “murder simulator” it would feel really wrong and strange. Give the main character in this game a story, why is he stealing? Give the character motivation, maybe he is stealing from people who wronged him in the past, or needs the money for medical treatments…. There’s lots of potential but the “theif simulator” brand feels weird and bare bones to me.

Re: Rumour: Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic 'Remake' Is Being Handled By Aspyr

Knights of the Old Republic is a masterpiece. Some of the best storytelling in Star Wars, beautiful music, and great characters. I’d recommend it to anyone, even if you don’t care about Star Wars.

Some aspects might seem a little dated but they don’t even need to do much “remastering” just porting it would be fine. For people worried about framerate or performance issues, kotor runs cellphones, it would be fine on switch haha

Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In April

E_Gadds_Garage

I’m excited for Republic Commando and Pokémon Snap. Keep the classic Star Wars games coming. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 would be great. No reason for them not to be on there.

Even better would be the original Star Wars Battlefront games from 2004/5. If they brought those with couch co-op and online support, wow that would be really cool.

Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Has Been Delayed (Again)

E_Gadds_Garage

The Lego games are consistently good to great, I can wait awhile longer for this.

By the way, there’s a great eshop sale on lego games right now (North America), some at all time low prices. Lego city is 6 bucks and DC supervillains is 12. Definitely worth checking out to scratch that itch. Sale ends April 14th.

Re: Two Bravely Default Soundtracks Just Got Released On Spotify

E_Gadds_Garage

Always great to see video game music become more accessible. I wish this would happen more often! There’s always YouTube but it’s at risk for takedowns and the quality varies quite a bit.

Official releases like this also give the composers the recognition they greatly deserve but don’t always get.
