@derdennis I haven't finished the game yet (thanks to my Smash Bros. addiction) but most of the characters do seem interesting and likable...except Levi.
@NintendoPok Well, they imposed this deadline yeah but they at least gave id several extra months to work on Doom Eternal so I wouldn't say this was incompetent decision making in comparison to anything related to Fallout 76.
That's the problem with commercial products that ride upon the output of visionaries and creators, it's highly unstable because of the rulings made by businessmen and expectations set by the public. Prime example, "The Thief And The Cobbler".
Man, I knew that id's audio engineer was in for a rough ride once he was revealed to have worked on the track.
Overall, I don't exactly blame anyone here, it just seems like an unfortunate case of production deadlines limiting an artist, although, like Marty said, Mick could have said something to stop the abuse his audio engineer was receiving online but I suppose he might not want to be involved any further in this controversy.
Weren't the Mario characters' cameos shown off in the initial reveal?
@justin233 There's apart of me that's interested but overall, it mostly just seems like a collection of old board & card games I can play for free on a laptop or phone.
Can you tell me what it does to set itself apart from other classic game compilations because I'm fond of these kind of games but I wouldn't want to pay $40-$60 for it.
I never imagined that something like this would happen but controversy aside, this is rather interesting.
@Impaler-D I haven't seen any of Fulci's movies except his unofficial sequel to Dawn Of The Dead and that film was kinda boring to me. Great special effects but I didn't find the movie as a whole remarkable. Were his other films better and what games specifically took inspiration from him?
@YorkshireNed I guess it's easier to hate on a exploitation director who isn't concerned with class and high-brow culture unlike Herzog, even though the animals in Nosferatu suffered a great deal more than anything this guy filmed.
I wish the best of luck to these guys. I enjoyed Starlink as it had some cool physicals while also being a solid game. I think there's more to be had with T.T.L. games but consumers think otherwise.
On a side note, wasn't this idea for T.T.L. used for Skylanders Imaginators?
@mrmememan I'm not sure. It seems kinda cool but how is it going to set itself apart from other tabletop compilations? Tanks look fun, mainly for its resemblance to the Wii Play! game.
End of an era? Isn't that jumping to a conclusion?
E3 may be in a bit of a decline but the planners cancelled it over health and safety concerns. If E3 was in its prime and this outbreak occurred, I bet they still would have cancelled the event.
I would like to see a new Direct even though the general Directs for the past few years haven't announced anything that got my hype levels going through the roof.
@Silly_G It's possible Doom Eternal would but I don't see New Horizons returning the favor unless there is someone in the localization team at N.O.A. that loves Doom.
@mesome713 There is a co-op of sorts just not one where you can slay demons.
I am not digging this joke skin. Doom games have been known for having a sense of humor, whether it be the decapitated heads of a bunny/John Romero or hidden enemies ready to pounce players over a power-up. This is just kinda unimaginative in comparison since skins like this have been done countless times.
It sounds strange to me that Keith David will be in a M.K. game but I guess it's not the craziest thing he has done (playing the President in Rick & Morty).
Miyamoto's most questionable decision has been Paper Mario: Sticker Star with his push for less storytelling and heavily altered gameplay but this Mario movie may surpass it.
Illumination has made only one decent movie and even then, it was rather formulaic and juvenile.
It might actually be a good thing for Nintendo to do this sort of thing. Think about all the dormant franchises that could be given another chance by exposing them to other forms of media. How many people would say no to an R.C. Chibi Robo?
@Crockin Yeah, they also have a reputation for being a bit temperamental at times although I think Disney might have been worse.
@Bondi_Surfer Alright, I admit my error. I looked into and found 90% concentrations can kill viruses.
I only said it as I remember going through a portion of one of my classes regarding antibiotic resistance and how it wasn't a good idea to rely on hand sanitizers during flu season.
I fear that people and developers are going drop out of this year's E3 which, along with Sony's recent standard of absence, will make this event pretty dry.
Of course I fear the virus' spread more, it's just that this is the kind of rock and hard place situation where there's no favorable outcome.

Re: That Rumoured HD Remaster Of The Mass Effect Trilogy Might Be Coming To Switch
I haven't gotten into this series yet and I'm not sure if I want to since I hear the trilogy ends on a sour note
It sucks to be built up towards an ending that doesn't deliver.

Re: Limited Run Games Reveals Streets Of Rage 4 Collector's Edition
I really wished companies would reflect things like taxes on top of the shipping and handling.
In other words, the full price is like $184.
Re: Gallery: Take A Look At The Streets Of Rage 4 Characters That Didn't Make The Cut
One of those designs looks like Josuke mixed with Kunio-kun.
Re: Donkey Kong And Kirby Duke It Out In This Week's Smash Bros. Ultimate Tournament

And why is one of them a fight between Kirby and Donkey Kong instead of something like, you know...Mario v.s. Sonic?

Really, I just wanted a release date for Doom Eternal.
Bioshock sounds cool though. Now I have reason to try them out.

Lego is overrated compared to K'nex. Now can they bring us Zelda K'nex sets?
Re: Hell Yes! Doom 64's Re-Release Includes An Entirely New Chapter

Re: Yacht Club Definitely Interested In A Shovel Knight Sequel, But Is Focused On "New Things" Right Now

If it ends up being as great as Shovel Knight, I would be fine with it.

Generally, hard chemicals like bleach or Lysol type products do that.

Re: No, The Wii U Version Of Battlefield Isn't Being Added To Smash Bros. Ultimate
@Yosher It would be a neat feature if you could select the other versions of Battlefield and Final Destination like the fighters' alternate costumes.
There would be a lot hype for every time players choose Melee's F.D. for a last match.
