Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. (Wii U eShop / DS)

Giygas_95

@sportymariosonicmixx I was committed to the bit, man. Though that's why I just beat the game and didn't go for all 120 stars.

I disagree about the Galaxy games having basic level design, but even so, I can forgive basic level design if the controls are good and make the game fun to play, which Galaxy's controls are much better.

I just don't really jive with 64. I never have really liked most 3D platformers from that era. Same reason I don't care for DK 64, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, etc.

@sportymariosonicmixx I've played Mario 64 several times throughout the years, including when I beat the game for a Mario Marathon I did (did not get all 120 stars though). I also got all 150 stars in Mario 64 DS, so I think I can give a reasonable assessment of what I think of it.

The game just never really holds my interest because of pretty basic 3D level design (not the game's fault, it was an early 3D platformer) coupled with controls I find somewhat stiff and an aggravating camera. If you updated the game to look and feel like Odyssey or Galaxy I'm sure I'd like it a lot more. But in its original form, I just don't find it worth the time to play it.

Between 64 and DS, I'd still rather play 64 because the controls are a lot better than in DS. Even still, give me Galaxy 1 and 2, 3D Land and World, or Odyssey over 64 every time.

@batmanbud2 Oh, you'll be happy to know I sing a much different tune these days. Galaxy 2 is like one of my favorite platformers of all time now. I sure wasn't expecting a reply on this website though, I don't even visit here anymore!

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass Wave 3 Is Out Now With New Custom Items Update

Giygas_95

@Debo626 No, you definitely not alone! I was remarking last month to my dad about how much I wish we could turn certain items off, but I never thought they'd actually add that. Imagine my surprise when I got on earlier and discovered that feature without knowing it was being added!

Finally...I can say sod off to all blue shells, bloopers, lightning bolts, boos (because nothing is more infuriating than getting an item stolen from you right as you're about to use it to defend yourself from a red or blue shell), and coins

Re: Sega "Working On Fixing A Variety Of Issues" In Sonic Origins

Giygas_95

I don't know if it's a quirk of the original games or just of this collection, but one thing I wish would get fixed is me getting crushed by things that are moving in the wrong direction to crush you. Like I'll be running under a moving pillar that's moving upwards, and somehow it gets registered as a crush. It's mostly happened in Sonic 3. Very irritating when it does happen.

@benmalsky198 You're definitely not alone. I've never been a diehard Sonic fan, but I do really like the classic games. I wasn't even aware of the negativity before I looked at articles like this. And by that time I'd already put like 45 hours into the collection.

Re: Poll: What's Your Game Of The Year 2022 So Far?

Giygas_95

I really haven't been playing much at all this year, but I'll give it to Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. I've loved playing it with my brother.

On the Switch front, I haven't gotten Kirby or Mario Strikers. I have however been playing Sonic 3 and Knuckles in widescreen on my Switch OLED, and I absolutely love it.

Re: Hell Yeah! DOOM Eternal's Free Horde Mode Update Is Finally Out On Switch

Giygas_95

Wow, finally! I've been eagerly awaiting this update because it means TAG 1 on the Switch will be the re-buffed version again and not the nerfed one from the TAG 2 update. Also my Satisfye OLED grip should finally arrive soon, so I'll jump into this when that arrives.

It took forever, but I believe the Switch version is finally caught up with the other versions in terms of updates.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 12.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Giygas_95

@TKundNobody Dude, I was just asking. I know we aren't the center of the world. I figured it was to support a simultaneous release. Calm down.

Also, to your question about spirit events, Nintendo Life puts out articles about all of those here so you can just come here, and you'll see them when they're upcoming.

And I apologize if it came off like I was crying. I could probably have worded that a bit better. I don't want to get off on the wrong foot. I've been dealing with enough other stuff lately that I'd rather not piss off someone here.

Re: Sakurai Says Smash Bros. Ultimate's Next DLC Fighter Really Will Be The Last One

Giygas_95

Well, fellas... it's been a heck of a ride, but it looks like the hype train is pulling in for its final stop. I remember way back when they announced the first fighters pass thinking "Man I really want to know who all these fighters are going to be! This is gonna take forever!"

Well, that's come and gone. Then they announced this pass to run through 2021, and I thought again "this is gonna take forever!"

Here we are already halfway through the year, and the last one is on the horizon. It's been great riding the train with all of y'all. Here's hoping this last character really blows everyone away.

Re: Dante, Shantae And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes

Giygas_95

Like others, I'm hoping Doom slayer is the final character, but I would also be happy with Ryu Hayabusa. I remember back when Street Fighter Ryu was rumored, and I was like "The Ninja Gaiden dude?" Because I didn't have any familiarity with Street Fighter. It'd be cool if he did end up getting in.

I might get that Shantae costume just for the music track. More music is always good.

Re: Metroid 5 Is Coming To Switch As Metroid Dread, And It's 2D

Giygas_95

"Metroid Dread is a direct sequel to 2002’s Metroid Fusion and concludes the five-part saga focusing on the strange, interconnected fates of bounty hunter Samus and the Metroids, which kicked off with the original Metroid for NES."

Just reading that gives me massive goosebumps. Especially the part about concluding the five part saga. Holy cow, it really has been almost 20 years since Metroid 4...

Re: Review: Winds of Change - A Polished, Absorbing, Animal-Filled Visual Novel

Giygas_95

I'm actually very intrigued by this. I do enjoy a good story and voice acting, and it sounds like this delivers. I've always enjoyed anthropomorphic animals just because I think they can be more interesting and sometimes more expressive than human characters. I mean one of my all time favorite movies is Fantastic Mr. Fox. In the case of this game though, I do think the art goes a bit too far in the furry direction for my tastes.

I'm not a furry myself, but I like to let others be if they aren't hurting anyone. I came from an environment where that wasn't the prevailing view so having disdain for people that are different is something I want to get away from...

@GalacticBreakdown Agreed. I thought we had reached a point where we don't care as long as nobody is hurting anybody else.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 12th)

Giygas_95

I've been playing an unhealthy amount of DOOM Eternal so probably more of that. I've been trying to polish off the challenges in Superhot, but the speedrun, realtime speedrun, and no restart challenges keep killing me. Might also start on the Ninja Gaiden games. They look really fun! More Animal Crossing too as always.

Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection - Ryu Hayabusa Deserves Better Than This

Giygas_95

@Bizzyb I'll admit when I saw this review I had a knee jerk reaction and called Nintendo for a refund. Really should have looked at some other reviews first. After watching some YouTube reviews, it apparently never dips below 50 FPS. Lower resolution doesn't bother me if the frame rate stays stable. Well, I'm gonna re-buy it, and I also got a physical copy from PlayAsia. Just wish I could play Black and original Ninja Gaiden 2 as well since I've heard they're the best.

Re: Talking Point: How Good Are You At Games?

Giygas_95

Depends largely on the genre for me. I'm not what I would consider very good at strategy games like Fire Emblem. I can hold my own on a lot of the games' hard modes, but I know my skills could be way better. I'm absolutely terrible at Advance Wars. I'm also not very good at racing games and time trials.

Now reflex based games on the other hand... platformers are and always have been my bread and butter. Shooters too to a somewhat lesser extent. Lately I've gotten good enough at Doom Eternal to the point that I've been quick scoping the turret off of an arachnotron at a distance and doing the same to both of the Mancubus's cannons in quick succession with no crosshair. Arenas that I used to think were almost impossible I now just blow through like they're nothing. I've even gotten to where I can beat some of the TAG 1 levels on Nightmare difficulty (still haven't beaten The Holt on Nightmare yet). I love games like that and Furi that really test my reflexes. Rhythm based games too. One of my favorites of all time is Bit Trip Core, and it's extremely satisfying when you get the hang of it. So...basically I'm a lot better at reflex based stuff than I am at thinking.

@Maxz I really gotta start Celeste...I've had it on Switch forever and heard nothing but praise for it. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.
