Re: Metroid Prime Engineer Calls Out Nintendo, Says Not Crediting OG Devs In Remaster Is "Petty And Ridiculous"

@SonOfDracula

I'm not saying they shoudn't be credited, I asked an honest question because the logic behind that statement made no sense.

If you search for a job you can safely say that you worked on Metroid Prime, the employer will search online if that the truth, and he will find out that you worked on the original.

That thing about "helping with getting future jobs" make sense only if we were talking about a competely new game.

I understand if someone want to be credited because he did the original work, just use argument that are actually in favor of that, no need to make up further stuff.

@sketchturner They even removed the rank at the end of each Battle and the characters can't damage each other if they are too close.

Also, the game is a bit shorter than the First One and half of the Playtime are sidequest that add nothing to the game (did we really need those "Kill 3 Rabbids" kind of sidequest?), when in the First Mario Rabbids we had a ton of interesting challenges that made you really have to learn the Battle System.

Really the game itself is fine, but it's just so unbearably easy that ends up not fun at all.
And I'm surprised that no reviewer mentioned that.

@Moonsorrow999 that's because the vote scale doesn't make any sense for some games imho.

Some are really interesting and out of the norm but not really well refined to be considered great games.
That doesn't mean they're not worth playing.

It's like when you try a food with a very different flavour from what you're used to. It's not gonna be the best food you have eaten, but the unique taste is gonna be interesting to feel anyway.

Re: Poll: So, How Would You Rate Nintendo's 2021?

GoldenSunRM

4/10.

Metroid Dread was the only interesting release for me this year. Everything else feels like stuff from an indie studio.

While it's not really a problem by itself, there was absolutely nothing that really stands out (except Metroid).

In fact someone yesterday asked me what new games Nintendo released this year... And I could only remember Metroid and Big Brain Accademy

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Feel About Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl's Affection Rates?

This is probably gonna come off as strange.
But I always found irritating when developers wants the player to feel loved by characters in a game.

It's like they think I'm a lone nerd without friends or something, and they want me to feel fulfilled by some kind of virtual affection.
It's borderline offensive as far as I'm concerned.

And it's something I usually see in Japanese RPG (the prime example is probably the Persona series, where almost every character in the game treats the main character, wich is supposed to be the player, as if it was some kind of perfect man).

I don't need a program to tell me that it likes me.

Re: Playtonic's Original Yooka-Laylee Game Is Getting A Follow-Up Title

Loved the first one. Completed both on release on STEAM and on Switch with 100%.
Can't wait for the sequel.

Always strange to see people stating as a fact that the first game was trash, when most of the critics and users review are mostly positive.
Even on STEAM the rating was "extremely positive" for a good while.
I don't know if it became worse now, been a while since I last checked.

Re: Switch Online Surpasses 32 Million Subs, Nintendo Says It Will Continue To "Improve And Expand" Expansion Pack Tier

GoldenSunRM

@Gwynbleidd because Nintendo probably thought that selling them through an online subscription would have been better for them (I don't remember exaclty where, but I read that the sales of the games on the Virtual Console were much worse than people think). So instead of selling the same games for the fifth time, they tried a different approach.

And I'm not saying this to defend them, I just honestly don't understand where all this negativity is coming from.

Nintendo it's not my friend, it's just a company that offer me a service. If I don't want what they propose me, I just don't pay. If you simply want to play those games you have plenty of alternative to the Expansion Pass so it's not like Nintendo have all these games hostages or something.
