Re: Japanese Charts: Monster Hunter Still Reigns Supreme As Daemon X Machina Grabs Fourth

HobbitGamer

DxM is the only (non-Macross) Mech game I've enjoyed enough to surpass 20 hours. I really like the customization, and doing missions online has been fun. There's been enough mission variety to keep it interesting for me, and I've not hit a hard difficulty wall yet; only failed a few missions that prompted a rebuild followed by success.
This is also the game that I've finally gotten used to gyro controls with

Re: Looks Like Copies Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Are Already Sneaking Out Into The Wild

@Jokerwolf Going from flat 2D sprites to the current graphics is a bit more than just an enhancement, to be fair. I’m getting it because I haven’t played it since the original came out, and I never got even halfway through that. So for myself, it’s close enough to a new game that I’m okay with the price. I also am not getting any other games till next year besides Luigi, though.

Re: Review: Gun Gun Pixies - A Pitiful Perv-Fest That Also Fails As A Video Game

I mean, the game does look boring tho.

And why are folks still even complaining about reviews of this genre of games? Why do some folks always see it as a personal affront to them and their personal choice of buying something. I really like the movie Life Aquatic, but I've got a friend that hates it. I don't call them every week complaining how they've ruined my life because their opinion is different about something that....wait for it.... I still enjoy no matter what.

Also, this is precious.

Also Today: " I ain't tarring everyone with the same brush, I have that had done to me over the years for a lot of things, ain't trying to do the same."
3 weeks ago: "If you don't want to get offended or whatever you call it, don't click on, back away, ignore it, it is SO easy to do but you lot choose not to for reasons beyond most. Don't tell me what I should and should not do based on your own moral values."

Re: Poll: Daemon X Machina Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

HobbitGamer

I played some of the new (actual) demo last night in handheld. Moved some HUD elements around; pretty awesome that’s an option. I’ll try again at lunch hopefully. I’m thinking it’s neat, but I’ve gotta get 2x Zelda and amiibo next week, so DxM May wait if I even decide to get it. Plus I’m still playing FE3H and Astral. And SNES. And Kirby.

Re: Guide: Best Nintendo Switch Lite Accessories

HobbitGamer

@Chunkboi79 I'm wondering about the comfort, too. I also use a cradle grip thingy for my Switch and after awhile that can still ping my wrists. The more my hands angle like this ~/" then the less comfortable the thing gets. When docked, I mostly play with separated joycons, but I'd really like a joycon grip that had each con at an angle so my arms would be more parallel with the tops of my hands. It makes sense when I think about it in my head

Re: Nintendo Files Lawsuit Against ROM Website Offering Nearly 300,000 Switch Downloads

Some of y’all need to chill. Look, if you’re all for piracy then just do it. But don’t try to dress it up as some way that you personally are “preserving history” or that you have a right to it. Just do what you will and justify it to yourself. The same sentiment goes for the opposition. Otherwise we just rehash the same anachronisms every time there’s an article vaguely related to the topic, in which case there’s no winners. Just a bunch of keyboards and screens with spittle all over them, while our games are going unplayed.

Re: GameStop Set To Close 180 - 200 "Underperforming" Stores This Fiscal Year

HobbitGamer

In the Charleston, SC district, there were 4 stores within 1/4 mile from each other. This is what the PR is talking about in terms of density. The FuncoLand & EB Games acquisitions left many stores standing that over time cannibalized each other in terms of sales.
Sympathies for those affected; Some of you users need to grow up and live in the real world, too.
