Re: EVO Would Happily Welcome Back Smash Bros. Tournaments

Erigen

Not the best thing to do right now. Since the start of 2023 esports have greatly declined, not just Smash, but practically everything. With many who previously worked in those events revealing that profits were always small relative to the time and effort to make them.

Events being cancelled, teams disbanding and some players just moving on with other things in their lives, the future of esports right now is too unclear.

And given Nintendo's absolutely horrendous record with professional Smash, many players are still too hurt and weary to work with them.

I finally bought it on sale at the last week of 2023, because everyone had only nice things to say about it.

I absolutely adore it and everyone was right with how it has such a good gameplay loop. Congratulations to the team and I'm glad to have contributed to that number. 💙

Re: Review: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Switch) - A Near-Royal Return For The Addictive Monster-Catching Spin-Off

Been playing DQ Monsters series since the DS. I love this new game, feels like a proper elevation of the series (despite one DQM game on the 3DS was a Japan exclusive). Though the graphics and performance could be better, I vastly prefer Toriyama's art to be colorful and anime-ish compared to being toned down and more realistic like in DQ XI.

My worst criticism is the Mole Hole DLC. Gathering the same monster again and again can be a hassle and can be overwhelming when your aiming for monsters that you want. The DLC almost acts like a demon compendium from SMT, making gathering the right monsters easier. It does feel like something that was removed from the game and sold as an add-on, despite being so essential in function.

Re: Video: Where Does Mario Kart Go From Here?

In Mario Kart 9, all characters should be removed and replaced with F-Zero racers. All karts should be replaced with space ships. All the stages should incorporate themes of heavy sci-fi. All music should range from heavy metal to punk rock. All items are to be taken away and replaced with boost pads and energy strips.

This is the ONLY way for the next Mario Kart game to stay relevant. 🤫

Re: Talking Point: Which Zelda Game Should Be Adapted For The Movie?

Erigen

They should do what many 70's and 80's fantasy films did that made them horribly lame:

Link is about to defeat Ganon and rescue Zelda, but Ganon opens a portal to the "chaos realm" and Link gets sucked in. Link lands in New York city and gets into many hijinx, until he learns he must find all the seven sages in that world (all of them would be A-list celebrities) in order for him to return to Hyrule.

Re: Assassin's Creed Publisher Ubisoft Axes 124 Jobs

Erigen

Not a shocker. Ubisoft has been rumored for years to be in financial uncertainty. Poor leadership with a lack of vision and creativity is to blame. They even cancelled original ideas being developed so they can double-down on more Assassin's Creed games. They need to learn that Assassin's Creed is not as strong of a series as they think it may be.
