Re: Chris Pratt On Voicing Mario: Says It's "Unlike Anything You've Heard In The Mario World"

Filth_Element

This does not sound good to me. I hate to be one of those people but the fact that all these people are telling me how good the voice is but too scared to let us hear it…. I call shenanigans! Just looked up the directors too, well I just can’t sum up the strength to try to be positive about this one. Mario with the hyperactive tone of Teen Titans Go? Sorry just can’t see this being more than a dumpster fire when it arrives.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Would Like You To Play The First Two Bayonetta Games Before Trying The Third

Filth_Element

If you want to just play it I wouldn’t recommend it on easy… it really is way too easy just play on normal and try not to worry about score use health items as much as you can afford and just enjoy the mechanics of the game. You’ll be getting stone statues rather than those sweet platinums (pure platinums are insanely hard). Unfortunately there is QTEs in the first which you will probably die on just continue take the hit and move on. The game gets bonkers and is a lot of fun. Second game for me personally was very easy so once your comfortable and have finished the first you will breeze through the second.

Re: 5% Of Capcom Acquired By Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund

Filth_Element

@Pokester99 I just had to call you out on this weird patriotism and ignorance of the valid criticisms Saudi Arabia get. I think I have managed to make my point now and the whole ongoing arguments is not something I’m looking to do.

Hopefully some of the points that have been raised here will maybe help you have more of an open mind on these subjects. I only say that last thing as unfortunately there is a real human toll to some of Saudi Arabia’s policies.

Anyway for now we can agree to disagree 🤔

@Pokester99 great place if you are the right sex and religious beliefs. I’m sorry but I find that very hard to believe.

“ As with drugs, there is a prohibition on the manufacture, sale, possession, and consumption of alcohol in Saudi Arabia. Drinking is punishable by public flogging, fines, or lengthy imprisonment, accompanied by deportation in certain cases.”

Hmmm public flogging yea sounds like a caring ruling elite.

“ Sleeveless shirts, short dresses, loose tops, short bottoms, crop tops and miniskirts are strictly not allowed. Night clothes, under garments or anything that is inappropriate to be worn in public must be avoided. Bikinis, which are common among westerners, are taboo in Saudi Arabia, even on the beaches.”

Again this doesn’t like a very liberated people to me.

I’m sure I can easily find much more if you like.

Re: Troy Baker Backtracks On NFT Plans And Issues Apology

Filth_Element

According to a lot of people here you can never change your mind. You should just be good an holier than thou from day one and don’t you dare make a mistake because you can’t change or apologise and make up for your mistakes…

Wow

I thought this was a strange one for Troy. I don’t think it was only “cancel culture” which lead to him changing his mind. Have a listen to the podcast he’s on because his cohost's had a great discussion with him and laid out their concerns on this venture.

Re: Bayonetta 3's Lead Designer Actually Left PlatinumGames Two Years Ago

Filth_Element

I’m not really fussed about this news but I must say recently replaying Bayo makes me rethink my feelings on the sequel and this newest entry. For me the original is just so good the sequel isn’t as good for replayability.

I hope this newest one is great but I’m keeping my hype levels low. Still looking forward to it though!

To all those saying the comments are all negative… are you reading what other comments actually say because most aren’t that negative at all lol

Re: The Evil Dead Game Has Been Delayed Again, Will Now Arrive In May

Filth_Element

@CarlosM87 just spit balling but I’m imagining a single player 1st half in a Metroidvania style cabin that you gotta work your way around till you manage to get all the pieces to say those three magic words. Which like Ash I can never remember! Then 2nd half of the game is medieval Army of Darkness almost more beat ‘em up as the 1st half you’ve done all your (or almost most) of your upgrades so the 2nd half your just beating down deadites easily. So yeah 1st half horror 2nd half your more powerful but it ain’t easy.

Well one can dream anyway…

*edit spelling and autocorrect mistakes lol

Re: Ubisoft: Players "Don't Get" What Makes NFTs So Beneficial

Filth_Element

@BloodNinja @inenai since when does NFTs are about being able to sell my digital copies of games. So far everything I have read has been about things within games not the games themselves. Is this intended at all?

The other point I want to bring up is if it’s so great to own my own unique weapons/costumes/gear/whatever in said game let’s say oh I don’t know Black Ops 2 and now today I want to sell those items. Problem is the game is old and the player base is so small will I make a profit from selling them? Will I even make my money back is it really worth it to sell something I bought for 2 quid and get back 50p. At that point will I even bother.

Sorry just not seeing the benefits of this whole thing. But I can see why these companies are trying to convince me that this is all for me. Hahahahaha yeah right.

Re: Troy Baker Admits NFT Announcement Was "A Bit Antagonistic"

Filth_Element

Hmmm Troy has had an interesting discussion on the tweet on Play Watch Listen. Seems he wasn’t trying to ‘come at me bro’ with “hate or create” lol still pretty stupid though. The dude is like anyone out to make money and provide for his family which is understandable. Wonder if he will back out as he’s receiving a lot of flak for it.

Anyway which ever side of the NFT argument you fall on just try to be nice to each other.

Re: Rockstar Apologises For GTA Trilogy Issues, First Of Multiple Updates Due In 'Coming Days'

Filth_Element

I was excited by the trailer released for this game it looked so good. Glad I waited for reviews now though. I buy only a select few games at release these days due to the buggy messes that come out. I agree with a lot of people here this idea of “we’ll patch it later” has to stop being normalised by developers I don’t think it’s fair to customers.

It also makes me worry that in few years time when servers are down it will make replaying these games an issue if they can’t access patches… I know it’s not an issue know however I still play games and systems which are decades old and wonder about that kind of thing.

And that line about developers being harassed just seems like a good way of getting some of the heat off their actions rather than just giving a sincere apology not that I think anyone should be harassed.

Re: Exclusive: Super Rare Shorts On Skipping Switch eShop With Physical-Only Games

Filth_Element

Sorry... who is this developer and what was their previous game...

Yeah, nah! I’m not interested in this exclusive limited run bs. If a game is good and well developed then it would get attention. If it’s not then we’ll people don’t buy it funny how commerce works sometimes. I’m not pre-ordering a game I have no idea about. Hell I don’t pre-order many games at all! Have a look at the Cyberpunk fiasco recently and that’s from a known big developer not some small team I’ve never heard about before...

Re: Feature: No Anime Please, We're Westerners - When Anime Was Taboo In Western Games

Filth_Element

Hey Nintendolife, thanks for the article I enjoy these types of write ups. I have one criticism when you guys do these sorts of things any chance we could get more related images? In a feature like this I appreciated the varying covers but would have loved to see game play images illustrating the difference in sprite work it would have helped this immensely as now I am searching the internet myself in order to understand the changes they made to these game’s.

All in all a great article but if we could get more images like a magazine feature of old.

Re: Review: Darksiders II Deathinitive Edition - Death’s A Fine Way To Make A Living

Filth_Element

I can’t be the only one who’s feels this way but I think this series sucks!

I bought this after reading the positive reviews and comments here on NL got it on WiiU only to stop playing it as it’s terrible. I bought both 1&2 tried them both but the camera sucks like a PS2 gen game and the combat is just keep pressing this button until th game stops spamming enemies then move to a new area and repeat.

I’m really struggling to understand how this series gets this much love. Do I need to try again am I missing something?
