Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Announced For Switch 2 And Switch

Grim

@ROMhaiku yea definitely kind of a hot take that I didn’t really need to slide in there. I agree that using cinematic to blanket both together doesn’t make complete sense. MGS4 being ‘cutscene’, but GoW being cinematic in the sense of big lord of the rings feeling environmental shots and showcasing the beauty beyond just being a tightly controlled action game. My bias towards ps3 is bleeding out here too. That jump in gaming had me absolutely gob smacked, and then when ps4 came around I never felt the need to get one and didn’t until 2020. PS3 is still my favourite PlayStation

MGS4 absolutely blew me away when I played it on ps3 at release. I loved how cinematic it was, which is funny because I got so tired of god of war (ps4) because of how cinematic it was lol. My parents got mad at me so much because I wouldn’t “shut off my game” because I was stuck finishing a cut scene that would go for so long. I still have my ps3 copy so I might not get this. Too bad the online part won’t be there that was awesome too and sunk so many hours into it after beating the game. The only military themed online game I’ve ever been into, and I guess killzone 2

Re: TIME Magazine Reveals Special Edition Pokémon 30th Anniversary Covers

Grim

I have a gengar and mew time magazine, from recently but I can’t remember why they made those ones, and all the articles in it are pretty great with awesome photos from the 90’s. brings me back. I’m not at home so I can’t check why those ones got made. Pikachu was also one of the other covers available

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (31st January)

Grim

The release date announcement for Scott Pilgrim ex got me excited so started playing the first game again. Started a Wallace run and I’m almost through. Defeated all the evil ex’s and nega Scott, on to Gideon. Unicorn overlord is my main course tho and it’s so gorgeous, and then ball x pit runs between everything else, already unlocked the new dlc buildings and characters. Voted for switch version but definitely playing switch 2 edition

Re: Prince Of Persia Team Behind Cancelled Sands Of Time Remake Shares Final Message

Grim

That’s sad, sands of time is incredible and probably one of the only games my older brother and I both beat and played save files at the same time. We would help each other with puzzles and what not. Amazing game and a good memory for me. I liked warrior within too, the edginess really resonated with me as a teenager lol. The 2008 game was the next I played and completed and loved that it was beautiful. And lost crown is in my backlog but excited about it based on the community here saying good things. Man I would take the prince over assassins creed everytime, u kinda suck ubi

Re: One Of The Best EarthBound-Inspired Indie RPGs Gets Switch Release Date

Grim

@ChromaticDracula that adventure time game rules! It released on ds and 3ds, for some reason I went with the ds copy. I’ve been meaning to dig it out of stuff still in my parents attic, but still have not. I really want to replay it. Also, “hey ice king why’d you steal our garbage” is an amazing title

Re: Random: Lego Fans Have Apparently Forgotten What Game Boy Cartridges Look Like

Grim

Honestly it looks kinda bad the proper way. Like the indent is too long, and then as people mentioned it over hangs. The indent looks better when centred if only the piece was flush to the left side of the cart while centred. I just built mine last week, got it for Christmas. Absolutely loved the build, but now the cartridges bug me cause of this article lol. Oh and I totally put them on centred

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition

Grim

The European cover is pretty cool to me so voted for it. Did box art brawls actually start in 2019? I’m more shocked that I’ve possibly been around for them all. It’s one of my favourite things on a Sunday. One day I’ll play a resi game I swear

Re: Opinion: I Reviewed 25 Switch 2 Games In 2025, And These Are My Top 3 Picks

Grim

I just got a copy of air riders for 69 bucks this weekend. Road tripped to see family this past weekend and stopped at a eb games along the way and they had it on sale. Same with all the amiibo for the game but didn’t buy one (I wanted to buy withheld). For reference that’s Canadian dollars. It retails for 99, so I was prettty happy to find it on sale woooo

Re: The Danganronpa Series Has Now Sold Over 10 Million Copies

Grim

Picked up the decadence collection physical for switch. Finished 1 and got a decent way into 2 and never finished. Loved what I played tho. Really need to go back and finish off the second game. I don’t think I would pick up a remake of 2 but I’m definitely gonna get hundred line and shuten order based on how much I liked what I’ve played so far of the series. Oh I also have rain code and haven’t played that yet either. So many games lol

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Was The Best-Selling Nintendo Game In October (US)

Grim

“Low effort trash, half-baked, undercooked, slop, unfinished rushed mess.” Dunking on Pokemon is always so cool dude. This game is a gem and I’m having a great time. Like so much so that working on 1000 battles doesn’t feel like a grind to me. I’m at over 800 so far and not bored yet and still finding things to do

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A DLC's Next Mega Evolution Is A Mythical One

Grim

Still unsure about the dlc, but loving the base game. I’ve actually never purchased Pokemon dlc. The one thing that would really sell me on it is if they added the roller skates to the game, and all the grind rails and stuff. I know the grind rails were outside of lumiose but whatever. I just started playing y again and I kind love the roller skates

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (15th November)

Grim

Finished the story in legends ZA, and I really enjoyed the story honestly. Great for a Pokemon game. Will continue with post game, and it made me start a new playthrough of Y to see if any of this lore is in that game. Some runs of ball x pit will be mixed in as well, I’ve unlocked the final level and need 2 more clears for gears. But as I type that, is it the final level if I’m still collecting gears??? Hmmm. Is that a spoiler? Finished Luigi’s mansion on the cube this week and want to start on prime 1 to then hopefully finish prime 2 as well, all before I play 4. I unfortunately do not own 3 tho, or a Wii. Ah well

Re: Review: PDP Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller For Switch 1 & 2 - A Beautiful Axe In Need Of More Games

Grim

The whole button redesign stuff you talk about is confusing. You mean like the start/select dpad system buttons? Cause the fret buttons are just rock band style not guitar hero style. Or are you talking about internals of the fret buttons? Cause that could definitely be built different. Also the quiet strum bar is also a rock and thing vs the clicky guitar hero strum bars. This stuff is all kinda funny cause I just got re addicted to rock band since the delisting of 4, and have since got all my instruments from my parents house. I’m very excited for the new CRKD drum set to play with a bass drum pedal again
