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

Goofus

I only played three games this year;
-Mario 3D World was great as expected but Bowser's Fury really took me by surprise!
-R-Type Final 2 was a mixed bag but mostly worth picking up.
-Metroid Dread was a love it/hate it experience but it ultimately won me over and I'm on my 3rd playthrough.

Next year I'm looking forward to the new Kirby and Zelda entries. And where the hell is Fall Guys???

Re: Poll: What's The Worst Legend Of Zelda Game?

Goofus

I really tried to like Zelda II back in the day but it's just so boring, tedious, and frustrating. The music is mostly good but when I hear it my brain turns to oatmeal. Playing this game feels like operating heavy machinery on half a bottle of robetussin.

Ganon's laugh is awesome.

Re: Talking Point: Remember When People Thought Switch Would Fail?

Goofus

I honestly thought it would either fail outright or be a moderate success like N64 or Gamecube.

I was not a fan of the Switch's physical design when I first saw it, and owning one hasn't changed my mind on that. The joycon are flimsy with tiny buttons and bad ergonomics, and I have no use for a portable system. It sits docked with 2 pro controllers.

That being said, I'm glad it's been as successful as it is and the games make it well worth owning one.

Re: Review: Axiom Verge 2 - A Fantastic Follow-Up To A Classic Metroidvania

Goofus

I enjoyed the first one to a point...loved the music, art style and gameplay but gave up after going in circles for hours.

This one...the bland art style really puts me off from the get-go and the gameplay footage doesn't look like it's much fun.

Still, I gotta respect that both these games were made by one freakin' guy!

Re: Nintendo Waves Through Yet More Asset Flips Onto Switch eShop

Goofus

The e-shop is a wasteland. There needs to be quality control, a review system, and a refund policy. I've been burned too many times by a game that looked promising only to find out in less than 15 minutes that it's a poorly designed, incomplete and buggy mess.

I love indie games and want to give the developers support, but there's so much dogsh*t shovelware that the good stuff gets buried.

Re: Review: R-Type Final 2 - Shmup Royalty Returns In An Authentic, If Flawed, Revival

Goofus

The demo had me worried, but after a weekend with it I'm very impressed. Not as brilliant as Delta but a big improvement over Final. I do hope they patch out the load time between deaths. The graphics are nice enough but sometimes it's hard to discern what's in the foreground or background. The neon explosion effects look nice but can obscure enemy bullets at times.

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th April (Europe)

Goofus

@BloodNinja There is no quality control whatsoever. It's frustrating having to sift through all that crap on the e-shop. I've gotten burned a few times from something that looked interesting but ended up being sh*t. They should really have a refund policy if you play something for less than five minutes and don't like it.
