Re: Opinion: When It Comes To Metroid's Future, Familiar Is Better

GoldenSunRM

@UpsideDownRowlet yeah that's my biggest complain. As an examples, I also like Other M A LOT because it leaned 100% in what it wanted to be.

Prime 4 at that point should have just kept the original plans probably, it would have been a very different kind of Metroid, but at least it would have been some kind of experience worth by itself.
Now it feels like something else trying to cosplay as a Metroid Prime.

Re: Splatoon Raiders' User Scores Are Off To A Splashing Start On Metacritic

GoldenSunRM

Glad it's doing well.
I do think the praise is a bit too much overall, as it nowhere near as THAT level of good as people make it out to be.
In fact there's room for an insane amount of improvement on every single aspect of the game.

But it's still a an extremely fun time and I can't wait to get home from work to play it every day, so I'm glad it's doing well regardless.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Splatoon Raiders?

GoldenSunRM

I give it a 7.5. everything more than that is too much IMHO.

While the gameplay loop is extemely fun, the entire game feels like a 10 hours experience stretched to be 20/30 hours long (I have yet to play it that much, but I'm surely gonna go over the 20 hours mark going by how much content I still have left).

The entire game is pretty much the same. It's EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY FUN and the gameplay loop rewarding and addicting... But the entire game is the same. 5 hours in you'll have seen already everything the game has to offer and it will only be more and more of that.

Lack of missions variety, lack of locations variety, Level Design almost absent (almost all location are just random terrain without much thought put into it and connected by straight paths).
It's a really good game but with a lot of wasted potential, definitely lacking for the first fully single player Splatoon.

Re: Bandai Namco Reveals Changes & Improvements In Tales of Eternia Remastered

GoldenSunRM

@Alcea we were robbed of the Tempest remake.
The Director of the series left after Innocence R and Zestiria. I guess he was the one pushing for the remake of the DS trio.

It would have been really cool to see a "Full" TotT. It never felt like a finished game, especially since the game teases an entire world but only let you visit a couple of continents of it. It always felt like the first half of a bigger game to me.

Re: Video: Why All The Remakes, Nintendo?

GoldenSunRM

I honestly couldn't care less.
Remake all the old games you want, there's so many older games I have yet to play, that I could go on for the rest of my lifespan without a new game announced and I would still have enough to play.

Re: Pokémon Unite Officially Dropped From 2027 Pokémon World Championships

GoldenSunRM

@Judal27 I remember trying to get back into the game, and was ASSAULTED by dozen of pop up of any kind.

Most of them where "BUY THIS SUPER EXPENSIVE SKIN/CURRENCY".
Half were FOMO events all being held at the same time.

I had red dots everywhere and passed about 30 minutes unchecking everything.
This would repeat every single day for an entire week.

It completely killed my interest in going back into it.

Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Skin Returns In Rayman Legends Retold

GoldenSunRM

Legends is actually the worst one to remake.

Perfectly modern game. Fluid Gameplay. Excellent 2D art. Already available on every modern console and usually available for 10€.

Origins would have made much more sense (I know it's included in this remake, but it's only port).

Any news on being able to buy Origins by itself? I really couldn't care less of this remake. Already bought it twice (Vita and SWITCH), I really don't want to buy it a third time only because it have Origins hostage...

Re: Atelier Yumia Switch 2 Update Adds Performance Settings Option, Improves Frame Rate And More

GoldenSunRM

I have to play this someday. As someone who played a bunch of Atelier games... They're all basically the same game gameplay wise and seeing one finally trying out new things actually Intrigues me.

I also find kind of odd how bad it was received by the fanbase due to being "Too different". There's a new atelier about once a year, it's not like you have to wait a lot for a new game anyway in the case you didn't like this One.

Re: Adventures Of Elliot Patch Lets You Remove The Incessant Voice Support

GoldenSunRM

Having a side character or the main character himself reminding the player of anything or keep on talking non stop is one of the worst sin of modern gaming.

God I wish I could have shut Pauline voice in Bananza. I don't know what wrong with modern developers thinking people need someone to keep talking over the gameplay at all times.

Re: Toys For Bob Reiterates Its Desire To Make A New Banjo-Kazooie Game

GoldenSunRM

@N00BiSH Oh I already let go of the dream. I don't remember who exactly, I think Gregg Mayles himself, but a couple of years ago they said that he wasn't interested at all at revisiting any of the older RARE franchise.

In any case I highly doubt the current RARE would be able to create anything particolarly interesting anyway, I'm not a big fan of they're late games at all outside of Nuts and Bolts.
(I still find insane they didn't pay another developer to do the remakes tough, you don't need good new ideas to do that).

Re: Toys For Bob Reiterates Its Desire To Make A New Banjo-Kazooie Game

GoldenSunRM

Rare seeing the absolute hype with the Smash Bros reveal (it's the most viewed Smash Reveal) and the hype with Banjo-Kazooie added to the NSO... And then decided to do absolutely nothing with it will forever be mindblowing to me...

The desire for a new game is clearly there, the same goes for a remake of Kazooie and Tooie.
We were in the full "Let's remake all the classic platformer" period a couple of years ago too.

Such a waste.

Re: Mario Kart Tour Service Officially Ends This September

GoldenSunRM

@JR150 I'm really expecting a big DK DLC for MK World at some point.

Pauline and DK have too few skins compared to all the other of the main cast and it's odd, there's also some strangely missing characters, like Diddy Kong and Funky (and to a lesser extent, Dixie too since she was in Tour).
Maybe we even get Bananza Villains or something like that.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy & GBA Library With Four More Titles

GoldenSunRM

@garfreek i really wish we would get some of those Nintendo games that everyone tends to forget.

Mario Party GBA (it had a story Mode with a lot of dialogue and Puzzle Solving), Donkey Kong Jungle Climber, Yoshi Universal Gravitation or Mario Pinball Land are good examples.
While they're not amazing games but only good, they're still odd experiment that are worth playing for their unique Gameplay and I wish more people would try them out.

Re: DOOM's Developer id Software Has Supposedly Lost Around 50% Of Its Team

GoldenSunRM

@HeadPirate thank you to be rational for once. Too many people get immediately worked up without thinking logically.

Xbox didn't do anything crazy here. There's too many people working in these companies and they said it themselves, too many layers of management and everything take ages to be decided.

Also to respond to some people above, you definitely don't need studios made of 2000/3000/4000 people to make a good game. There's a point where that create more confusion and less cohesion in the project you're trying to create.

And another thing. Where in the world can you except to release nothing of value for 6- 7 years and expect to keep your job?
Some of these company has only made games that were not successfull or no games at all over that period of time.

Re: Capcom Wants To Reach An Even Broader Audience With Mega Man

GoldenSunRM

Maybe stop making new game for the original series and finally start a new one?

I'm sorry but I'm a huge Megaman fan, and X and Zero are so much better in every single way, I'm not interested in playing yet again a new game of the first series.

I didn't even buy Megaman 10 despite having every other Megaman.

Re: Mina The Hollower Is Joining Rivals Of Aether II As A Guest Fighter In 2027

GoldenSunRM

@KayFiOS I feel like Shovel Knight was in Smash only for the extremely lucky timing.

The character was new, everyone loved him, he became sort of a symbol for indie for a good while, and the new Smash Bros was just around the corner.

I feel it's similar to Sans too.

I don't think we're going to see him the next time, they didn't do much with the IP except milking the character and making new versions of the game and it kinda got forgotten.
