Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?

Metroid and Zelda aside, no new IP's which was disappointing. Advance Wars was a nice surprise but we could have done with a new entry ideally. Sure, there was something for everyone but only two big hitters at what is supposed to be the biggest event of the year. And no Switch Pro?!

Re: What SteamWorld Game Deserves A Sequel? Image & Form Would Like To Know

I'd love a Quest sequel, but much less linear with a full overworld to explore with dozens of NPC's and towns etc.

Personally though I'd prefer a new entry in the franchise. Either a straight up platformer or I'd love some sort of sports game with hundreds of up-gradable and weapons parts to tweak your team, meaning everyone's team is as potentially unique as a Pokemon team of 6. Could even turn that into Heist 2, online matchplay would be amazing seeing everyone's customized characters in action

Re: As Pokémon Card Prices Soar, One Company Is Letting Investors Buy Shares In Individual Cards

I can't believe that if I had kept my collection I'd have been sat on a goldmine. Only ever bought one pack which contained a shiny Polywrath, and from that traded up to a collection that filled an entire binder up with shinies from the first gen and then Jungle set.

Nidoking, Blastoise, Zapdos, Charizard, Chansey, Raichu, Mewtwo, the lot. Ended up with some rare shiny Japanese Team Rocket cards aswell including Dark Charizard and Umbreon.

I will never throw out anything collectible ever again!

@DashKappei Never understood the hate that Exciter receives. Comatose and Breathe are some of Martin's worst tracks but the rest is golden for me and was the album that got me into the band- especially after my dad shown me One Night In Paris when I was about 14.

Saw them first in 05 on the PTA tour and then again in Prague (Sinobo Stadium) for SOTU, Budapest (Puskas Ferenc Stadium) for Delta Machine and Berlin Olympiastadion for Spirit, with other dates in Manc and Leeds in between!

Never understood the allure of Monster Hunter. Always feel that a game is lacking when there appears to be little to no feedback from the enemy when you hit them. The monsters on the demo only seem to flinch or fall upon the last hit of a combo and every other attack just slices through them with no effect other than damage points appearing all over the screen.

Same for Skyrim. I think the bar is just set so high by games like BOTW that any other battle system from a similar game in terms of combat seems so lacklustre in comparison

Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched Ten Years Ago Today In Europe

Exciter89

bought the aqua blue one on launch day 10 years ago today. Life got in the way of playing it and i only experienced a handful of games. Now I've much more disposable income, gaming has become a daily activity for me- so bought myself a New 3DS XL a month ago and now got an amazing collection of games and it's like discovering a whole new console all over again.

Currently playing Kid Icarus Uprising.

PS 3D is the best invention ever and I hope it returns one day on a future Switch.

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early

Exciter89

Most of the time the only reason I grind games out is because I feel guilty for spending the money on said game and try to justify the purchase and end up miserable playing them. Ever Oasis is my latest one- I'm gonna give up on it today I think and start Kid Icarus Uprising

Re: Best Nintendo 3DS RPGs

Exciter89

Are all the Etryian Odyssey's unrelated? Can I pickup whatever I can find and start there?

Same for Bravely Second. Do I need to really play the first?
