Re: Review: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl - A Middling Pair Of Remakes

Hinade

Huge disagree.

I think they're worse than the games they are remakes off, but wouldn't give them a 6. I love that there is variety in gameplay and artstyle between all the Pokémon games on Switch and think that random battles is a boon for this release and not a con.

Also while the models in the overworld are a bit underwhelming, they don't look even close to a Funko Pop.

Having said all that, I respect that the reviewer didn't see it that way and thinks his experience with it deserves a 6.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (November 13th)

Hinade

A little bit of Animal Crossing New Horizons and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate cpu battles.

Trying to clear at least 1 area in Metroid: Samus Returns, cleared Zero Mission last week snd trying to beat the first 4 before buying Dread.

Maybe watch some Naruto and The Walking Dead.

Waiting to play Shin Megami Tensei V for when I maybe get a new tv in the coming two weeks.

Re: The Game Awards 2021 Will Be An In-Person Event This December

Hinade

@Snatcher Weird first paragraph, you just repeated me. I even mention that if I played it and didn't like it I still wouldn't have a problem with it.

I don't have to look into anything. Again, just because you personally didn't think it deserved as much awards doesn't matter just like it doesn't matter which I would have like seen win.

Re: Geoff Keighley's Game Awards Return To In-Person Events This December

Hinade

I haven't played Last of Us 2, so I wouldn't have voted for it. Even if I did play it and didn't like it then that wouldn't mean it didn't deserve the awards it won.

People really need to learn that just because they're not a fan of something that if that something wins things doesn't mean it's underserverd or rigged. Just means different people like different things and industry people just had more people in it with different opinion than yours, that's it.

I just congratule and move on.

Re: Here's Shin Megami Tensei V's First English Dub Trailer And Cast List

Hinade

If there is a Japanese audio option I'll basically always choose it.

Do think they chose good voice actors for the game based on their performances in the trailer. (Maybe if I ever do a second playthrough I'll use it. Won't do it my first run in a game about Tokyo and Japanese people.) Also nice to see new blood, anime games reuse way too many English voice actors between them.

As a side note, also quite liked the English VA for Shin Megami Tensei IV.

Re: Feature: 30 Years Of Sonic The Hedgehog - The Many Faces Of Mario's Biggest Rival

Hinade

Very weird article. All eras have positives and negatives, even the ones I don't like or whatever.

For me though, I loved Sonic Adventure 2, Shadow the Hedgehog and the first Sonic Riders was amazing.

Heroes was also fun and Secret Rings while leaving a looot to be desired I still enjoyed a bit.

Still wanna play the GBA and DS 2D ones, they look amazing to me. Never enjoyed the original 2D though. Also still gonna play some of the 3D ones I missed, boost formula gemerally looks to fast for me though.

Re: Pokémon TV Is Now Available On The Switch eShop

Hinade

Great app.

But at the same time:

  • I want to watch gen 1, 3, 4 and 8 and only 1 and 8 are available of those.
  • Wanna watch any of the movies, but only the 18th is available. Which while they're all worth watching for me, the 18th is one of the worst.
  • There is no option for watching with Japanese audio. I like my Pokémon in Dutch, English and Japanese.

Re: Talking Point: Which Pokémon Legends: Arceus Starter Are You Going To Pick?

Hinade

Love these all 3. Oshawott would be my go to, most of the time I choose water starters. But have chosen it so much through the years so going for something else. Cyndaquill seems to have an updated model compared to XY, SunMoon and SwordShield with his fire actually out so they finally looks as cool as their sprites in gen 2 through 5.
That way I can also catch an wild Piplup for my water-type needs.

I also think the writer might think you can choose these in the DiamondPearl remakes, because we have heard nothing about gyms or hms being included. They do call them Hisuin starters though so I don't know anymore.

Re: Pokémon Brilliant Diamond And Shining Pearl's New 'Grand Underground' Map Looks Epic

Hinade

Just seeing the original underground map gives me goosebumps. Soooooo much fun memories. Stealing flags, mining items, setting traps, playing tag with like 6 of us every day and afterwards doing a Pokémon battle tournament.

So much fun and such a fun place to run around in, and I already was a fan of secret bases in gen 3 that we also used a lot, this expanded that to so much more.

Re: Pokémon Unite Is Adding A New Monster Tomorrow

Hinade

Gardevoir and Metagross are my number 1 fav Pokémon of all time, glad Gardevoir is coming but hoping her playstyle suits me!

(Because sadly her playstyle in Pokkén doesn't suit me.)

Really hope they add a lot more non-populair Pokémon instead of Charizard, Gengar, Machamp, Greninja, etc, etc. They are all cool but are highlighted in most spin offs and main games.

Re: You Can Now Pre-Load Pokémon UNITE From The Switch eShop

Hinade

For as far as I know Tencent also has stakes in EA, Ubisoft, Platinum Games and quite some more gaming companies.
Also has a deal with Nintendo themselfs for selling Switch consoles in China.

Really curious how many people disliking Tencent still buy from those companies or you know still game at all.
