Re: Splatoon 2’s Clam Blitz Update Is Now Live

GoldenGamer88

I‘d so love to play Splatoon some more but Xenoblade‘s story is too gripping to let go for long. Not too big of a Ranked Modes fan tbh. The original three all have this one thing where the teams inevitably meet. With Turf War, you can paint the turf here or there or wherever. Now with the baskets, this rule still applies to CB but a bit less so. I‘ll still play it for the day but I don‘t know, if there‘s one Ranked Mode I‘d go out of my way to play, it‘s probably Clam Blitz. Fingers crossed we‘re getting that Museum map soon!

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th December (Europe)

GoldenGamer88

You know, I decided to just forget my hopes of getting a good discount on a PS4 Pro and will just get a bunch of eShop cards to finally download all those titles on my 'Later List', including Batman, Yooka-Laylee, Worms and whatever I can‘t think of right now. Might also add Battlefront 2 and LA Noire to my holiday shopping list.

Originally, I had planned to preload YL but for 40 bucks, nope, gotta wait till Christmas that one. So I purchased Human Fall Flat. For the singleplayer aspect, I‘d give it a 6 (20 bucks for 5 or so hours of playtime). It‘s rather fun figuring out them puzzles with a friend so I encourage to play this game in co-op, which would raise its score to a 8 for me.

Re: The Switch is Getting its First Game Boy Advance Port Soon

GoldenGamer88

Never‘ve been too fussed about VC on past consoles but the Switch‘s portability aspect has made me really interested in replaying the classics (and beyond) on the system. They‘d massively lose money from me if they go with a Netflix-style service because god knows I‘d be buying VC titles like a mad man. Oh well, saves me the mones lol.

Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games And Accessories For December

GoldenGamer88

December 1st is certainly gonna be an expensive one. XC2 Collector‘s Edition, the XC2 Pro Controller and Azure Striker Gunvolt 1+2. All in all, a sum of 215€. Sure wished ASG was up for preorder on the german Amazon site to spread the costs. Luckily this will be the last big purchase this year (unless I still find a good discount on a PS4 Pro).

Re: Soapbox: It Took Nintendo To Turn Me Into A Smartphone Gamer

GoldenGamer88

Tried both Pokémon GO and Mario Run. I feel like both are shallow in terms of gameplay in comparison to their console/handheld counterparts. GO, to me, is a glorified museum the size of the entire planet and lacks the leveling up and battle system I am used to and like in the mainline games. Mario Run ... well, not much of a 2D Mario fan, especially because of the NSMB series, so ...

I‘ve tried some mobile ports of classic games like Sonic CD and such, you know, games built with controllers in mind. And I go and say it right now - I need my buttons, my d-pad, my control stick, anything that I can physically press. It simply was such a weird experience, I stopped mobile gaming altogether until Nintendo began to advertise their games in the mobile space.

Re: Poll: Have Your Say on the Best Main Series 3D Mario and Zelda Games

GoldenGamer88

Both 3D series are very dear to my heart. Choosing between them - it‘s like choosing between your own two kids. Especially Sunshine and Wind Waker, which are the first two games I ever played and finished (and in Sunshine‘s case, completed) on my own without help from older friends or my father.

Now, if this poll asked for the choice in the franchises‘s 2D endeavors, Zelda by a loooooooong shot. Nothing against SMB but my image of the series is seriously tainted negatively by NSMB.

Re: Review: VVVVVV (Switch eShop)

GoldenGamer88

Ah yes, VVVVV, played this during my first semester at university and would just randomly curse on the way to, in and on my way from university when I had one of these almost ragequit moments. I‘d instantly buy it if I wasn‘t saving up for Batman Telltale and hadn‘t too much to play as it is. Definitely high on my 'later list'.

Re: Review: Mario Party: The Top 100 (3DS)

GoldenGamer88

@PipeGuy64Bit Mostly agree with you, though, unlike MP3, where you still had to land on an Item Space, you get your capsules and candy (MP5-8) simply by passing by, giving you potential tactical choices even before rolling your die almost every turn. People who care little for the game will just throw them out wherever but those who do wanna win often thought about it for several minutes (at least from my game experience, playing with friends). And there were so many different ones in the GC titles you had a hard time remembering which capsule did what. I also feel like the GC titles introduced Events that would take much longer than the ones in the N64 days and these would often only give coins, having little effect on the tide of the party. Duel Minigames also became a thing. Yeah, they should just cut down items to a minimum, make events faster and with a minimum of 10 rounds, I doubt anybody would complain it‘s taking so long. But Nintendo‘s solutions to that complaint is like putting a bandage on a tumor. Haven‘t played the newer handheld titles so I can‘t tell how the item situation is over there.

Re: Review: Mario Party: The Top 100 (3DS)

GoldenGamer88

I feel like Nintendo is too afraid to return to the good old style of gameplay due to people complaining it‘d take forever. The sole reason each turn felt longer in the later GC/Wii titles was the excessive amount of items you got around every corner. Back in the N64 days, items were rarer so you‘d often just throw the die and move your spaces. The worst that could happen was Chance Time and that rarely ever happened. Plus, only people who don‘t care for the game in the first place complain about turns taking too long.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - There Are So Many...

GoldenGamer88

Decided to start completely fresh with Overwatch on Xbox (still have my account on PC, though, it‘s just such a bother setting up the pc, booting up the pc, start battle.net, wait for it to launch Overwatch). So yeah, I‘m excited to use Moira, the new hero. First post-launch character I actually like if I‘m honest.

Also gonna play Salmon Run in Splatoon 2, prob check out UltraSun and try to get in some playtime in Rocket League. So yeah, busy weekend.
