Re: Rumour: The Skylanders Franchise Might Be Facing Cancellation

Gelantious

They should have released more story content without the need for new figures. I really like the story modes of the games and then I have a few favorite figures that I only use. Got a ton of others that I just got for collecting purposes but they aren't fun to play.

Think it was a miss to not release it on PC besides the first game, would have made it easier for addons. And also to let players build their own maps and share.

Re: Random: Disgruntled Young Pokémon GO Fan Makes Satirical Game About Playing in the Suburbs

Haven't played much so are still finding new ones every other time I go for a walk so not complaining about lacking them in a small city.

That said, I do hope they change it so people actually have to go away from the cities to find some. Have a small forest nearby that don't have any roads marked on google maps and it's pretty weird that there would be fewer in there than in a concrete jungle..

Also add pokestops n such away from the concrete, Team up with geocaching for locations n such, let people submit fun out of the way places.

For a version 1 it's a great game, but still loads of room to grow and make improvements in.

Re: ​Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled

Gelantious

Sucks a bit, but not surprising since the game part sucked. Not being able to freely use any character in the story modes totally ruined this for me.

So only bought the figures because they actually looks nice to have on the shelf.

Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Comeback Fire on All Cylinders?

Gelantious

Watched the EU one and it was fine, but they should skip the British hipster presenter guy... Found him to be extremely annoying in the way he talked and overall mannerisms.

The material and how they showed all that is dandy smandy, but rather have Satoru Shibata do the whole thing (not counting guests, like the guy for steamworld heist. That was neat in its own way).

Traps can be used, but not to catch new villains. Instead if you use a trap with a villain inside you'll get a card with that villain for the skystone thingy. Only tried it once but I assume there would be a special card for each villain that you can trap in Trap Master.

Re: Video Game Voice Actors Contemplate Strike Action Over Pay and Conditions

@Crimson_Ridley
Why should VA's get royalties if a game sells a lot for having worked a few weeks. When the developers that have worked for years with 10+ hour shifts each day gets nothing but a normal salary?
Yes, good VA work is important to a game. But it is still only a small part of it if you count all the other work that has been put into it. And frankly it's the developers that are in the most need for better working conditions... They are treated like crap at most big companies..

Re: Feature: Have You Played... ZombiU?

Gelantious

Not interested in horror games but I still got this when a store was selling it for 19 SEK with shipping (~2€).
Was a bit fun to play together with a friend and taking turns, but solo play I always find boring in horror games.

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Named As New Nintendo President

Gelantious

Dunno what to think yet, besides a slight fear that he'll begin to move Nintendo towards scrapping their hardware and selling games on other platforms... Seemed like Satoru Iwata was the one that kept Nintendo from making that mistake in the past.

Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Miiverse and Its Planned Changes?

Gelantious

Don't mind the current version and looking forward to the new one. But do miss some features like private chat, user search, join friends game and so on. Though some of these are for the overall Nintendo platform and not just miiverse.
Sad if you play with someone good online and then want to add them to be able to play together in the future but won't be able to. Or just send a message to say it was a nice game.
Normal stuff for Steam, Xbox live etc. But they probably won't add it because of paranoia and safety for children.

Could just have it blocked by default so it had to be enabled in the parental controls...

Re: Talking Point: E3 Highlighted Nintendo's Development Shift Towards NX, and Away from Wii U

Gelantious

If the NX is backward compatible with wiiu games then I won't mind if they release it as early as they can.
But then if the rumours are true that Nintendo will go over to x86 like MS&Sony then it'll most likely not happen. Unless they do whatever MS did for the 360/One just now.

Also, Nintendo has get a grip of their digital sales crap. Having a game bound to a machine instead of an ID is insane. Having to re-buy stuff I already own to play it on another machine is bonkers.

Re: ​Famitsu Reveals Some Fresh Details on Fire Emblem If

Gelantious

The weapon limit I don't mind seeing gone, or at least as an option. In previous games it just made me save the special ones for the entire game, in case I ran into some hard enemy where I needed them. But never did, so they just gathered dust

Hoping there will be romance options n such, but I guess no kids this time around due to lack of time warp thingy.

Re: More Disney Infinity 3.0 Leaks Emerge With Starter Pack Line-Up

Gelantious

Too bad they went with the animated Star Wars stuff instead of the live action ones. Can only hope they'll add that as a playset later on

And for love of butterflies.. Please let us play with any character we want in the playsets now and not just the ones that "fit" into that world. Skipped 2.0 because of this, and will skip 3.0 as well if they don't change this.

Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand On DeNA, Smart Device Games, Nintendo 'Membership' And The Nintendo NX?

Gelantious

Going into the mobile market is bad, it's already flooded. Plus it's a different type of people that primarily play on those compared to pc/consoles/handhelds, so think it's bad that Nintendo distracts themselves trying to please them.

Should focus more on their core instead of trying to win back the casual crowd from the Wii era.

On the other hand, a common platform for the home/handheld devices is something I have high hopes for. They should have had it in place for WiiU/3DS but failed on that. Expanding their Internet part is also a must, their decision to remove the friends messaging system on 3ds was several steps back...

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Feature An "Outstanding" Voice Cast

Gelantious

@abbyhitter
If you've grown up with subtitles then it's not a problem to read while watching at the same time. Kinda like using peripheral view to look at street signs when driving a car. You don't focus on it, it just happens.

Also most of the time there will be timing issues when dubbing from Japanese to English. How many times haven't the English actors had to say something really fast, because the scene is short and the Japanese actor doesn't have to use the same amount of words.
So unless the developers re-adjust the scenes in length to match the voices then it'll just sound bad. And not many developers will put down that time and money. Maybe these will, have to wait and see. But I'll stick to the Japanese cast anyways.

Re: Video: Wii U Skylanders Trap Team Gets First Full Showing At EGX 2014

Gelantious

The biggest disappointment with Infinity over Skylanders for me was that you couldn't use any character you wanted in the play sets. You had to use the incredibles characters for their story n so on. And then releasing characters that only worked in the toy box.. Thus highly limiting their usage. So until they change this then I probably won't buy their games anymore.

With Skylanders I can use any character I want in the new games with only small limits, like breaking a giants seal or an element seal n so on. Then I can switch back to my favorite char again.

Re: Immediate DLC Reinforcements Arriving Soon On The Hyrule Warriors Battlefield

Gelantious

@RainbowGazelle
The game has been finished long before the release in Japan. It'll go through testing, QA, have the age limit verified, Nintendo certified/tested and probably more. From the time this version is shipped for all this testing, to actual release it's not uncommon for 1-2 months to have passed. So the developers might as well use this time to start working on DLC stuff, instead of just sitting there and then start working on it from the day the game is released.....

Re: Feature: Meet The Playable Cast Of Hyrule Warriors

Gelantious

Hard to pick the one... Want to play Link with gauntlet since it looks neat, Lana because I like the animation where she "hops" on the magic box to crush enemies. Impa & Sheik since they're Tomboys. Midna just because, Agitha for her tantrum animation. Ganondorf for the raw brute force.

And I'll most likely end up liking the rest too for reasons I haven't discovered yet. All in all I'm really looking forward to this game

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Delays Planned Homebrew Channel

Gelantious

@ferrers405
With cheap systems like the 3DS people will just end up having two. One which they update to use for all e-shop titles and online gaming. And one for homebrew stuff which will stay offline. Frankly I'd go for it just for the region unlock, it's annoying with loads of games that I can't play because of it. And that will never be released in the EU.

Re: Watch Dogs Will be the Only "Mature" Ubisoft Game on Wii U in Upcoming Lineup

Gelantious

Grabbed Black Flag just now and have been playing it this past weekend, first Assassins Creed game since the first one I've played. Haven't bothered with the others because that one left a bad taste of being overly repetitive.

But since Black Flag is about pirates I had to give it a try and the whole ship battles n such makes the game pretty good. And the story is rather nice. But it won't make me buy the next one since that looks pretty dull once again, so meh...
