Re: Review: Shantae - A Dated Dance That Completes The Set On Switch

@Ralizah

I really agree with this.
The only Shantae game that has the same refined dungeons is Pirate's Curse.

Half Genie Hero is totally different (and not in a good way), while Seven Sirens only have one good dungeon and to actually had fun I had to keep myself from not upgrading my hearts and not use any Magic (until the vert Last Battle, at least). The Gameplay is that broken.

Re: Best Nintendo DS RPGs

I absolutely disagree on Sonic. That game was as mediocre as a JRPG can be.

And Sands of Destruction, while being interesting, has a Battle system and a overall balance that are a complete mess.

Nostalgia has a great idea, but the game itself is the epitome of everything that is generic in a JRPG.

Was not expecting Luninous Arc 2 tough. Glad to see it on the list.

Re: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Leaked Online A Week Before Launch

@shaneoh

It's not really that uncommon actually.

I had plenty of friends (both online and real Life) who used to be pirates and didn't buy anything.
They usually ended up playing a bunch of games all at once, not beat a single one, and then abbandon them all because they always had another game ready that they wanted to try.
Having always everything available immediately and without paying makes it feel like it has less values.

Re: Nintendo Is Buying Luigi's Mansion Studio Next Level Games

GoldenSunRM

I'll be honest. I've never understood why Next Level games is so liked by the Nintendo fanbase.

Mario Striker and it's sequel are both just decent with almost no content at all. Also the worst Mario Sports games (besides Tennis Ultra Smash).

Metroid Prime Federation Force is mediocre at best (and I'm not even a Metroid purist so it's not like I hate it because it's different, my favorite is Other M).

Luigi's Mansion 2 it's a total disgrace, for my taste at least. I think it's one of the worst games Nintendo has ever published.
And Luigi's Mansion 3, while it's a great improvement over the second one, I still think that it's a really forgettable experience.

Re: Final Fantasy VII's Sephiroth Gets Added To The Smash Bros. Ultimate Mural

@backup368
A question.
Do you play the game regularly? Because every person I know that does it, actually uses a lot of characters they didn't even know before playing Smash, or didn't even care about, simply because their moveset is fun and cool.

Most of the people who thinks the way you do are those that play the game a bit and then move on. But I assure you that most of the people hooked to Smash, with hundreds of hours on it, care about the moveset just as much as who is the character.

Re: Dataminers Discover Unused Character Voice Clips In Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity

GoldenSunRM

To be honest, no.

While I loved the original HW, and I spent over 500 hours on that (over 100 Hours on both Switch and Wii U version, and over 300 on 3DS), I like how Age of Calamity respect the time of the player more, you don't have over a thousand variations of every type of mission for every characters.

It's a more intense game with better pacing, and less wasted time doing the same thing over and over again.
It was fun for one time (or I should say 3 times since I played all versions), but not again.

Re: Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling Is Getting An Update Next Week

GoldenSunRM

Unless they extend the Level Cap, I doubt I'm gonna pick it up again.
It's an amazing game and I wanted to do everything, but after I reached the max LV, I lost all the motivation ti keep on playing.

I even reached it before the Final Boss. They probably did it to prevent the player to grind and become to strong. But it just makes fighting pointless and boring.

Re: Review: Grandia HD Collection - Two Classic Games, Shoddily Remastered

GoldenSunRM

Guys, the port is not simply "not great".
It's literally a disaster.

Countless graphical glitches (everytime Elena closes her eyes she doesn't have a face texture at all).
Fps drops everywhere, even in docked mode, but especially in Portable, to the point of becoming almost unplayable in certain areas (I had to play docked in the forest after the Granacliffs, the battles were in slow motion).
The sounds are also messed up. The musics doesn't loop and instead it ends as if I was listening to it on my phone, it fades out and then starts again.
And the sound effects are abnormally loud and doesn't loop either, so you have the sounds of a fire that constantly starting and stopping every 2 seconds.

Really guys. Grandia 2 is a great game, but this remaster is simply trash. And it's painfull for me to say this. I couldn't wait to play Grandia 2 again after all these years, it's one of my favourite JRPG of all time. But this version? I simply cannot recommend it.
