Re: Someone Bought A Duke Nukem Prototype For Nintendo DS On eBay

Jayofmaya

It's kinda cool, but tbh if this had been released no one would care about it. It needed serious work to even be a passable game. More mechanics, details, level redesign and expansion. It looks so lazy, worst of all is they did make some decent environments but did nothing with them. Maybe the tapwave had more limitations but even then they could have done a better job.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #42 - Pikmin 2

Jayofmaya

Went with Europe on this one. The reason is the subtlety of the enemy creeping behind but yet unable to get these high up Pikmin maybe. Also focuses on the main component and charm of the game and that is the Pikmin themselves. Olimar was ok and all, but I always wanted to save as many Pikmin as I could, more so than win the game haha

Re: Tony Hawk's Rumoured 2020 Video Game Is Sounding Increasingly Likely To Be Real

@UmbreonsPapa I'd suggest giving the Underground games a go, if at least the first one. I agree that American Wasteland wasn't quite as good. It felt a little, I don't know, jankier? xD Like a team that saw the Underground games and tried to imitate them but didn't do as good of a job. Also, the way they tried to do open world where they had you essentially skate through loading screens was kind of obvious and got a bit boring as they were too empty. Even though Underground 1 is level based, the story is decent enough and game play is fun, it just feels more polished.

Re: Wii Hacker Dismisses Recent Nintendo Leak As "Complete Nonsense"

Jayofmaya

I already hacked my Wii years ago and it can do everything you need it to. Dvd player, Wii and Gamecube back ups. I found the GBA emulator on it to be kind of trash when I tried years back but it may be better now. I still use it to play Gamecube games and Mario world hacks on the SNES emulator, but that's the only time I turn it on as I play my wii titles on my 100% legit Wii U. So, really, what would this have done? Perhaps allow China to make super, super cheap knock off units?

Re: That Rumoured HD Remaster Of The Mass Effect Trilogy Might Be Coming To Switch

Jayofmaya

That's not even slightly cryptic haha. Anyway, I still have yet to complete the second one on my ps3. I will definitely get round to it, but it hasn't gripped me as much as the first one. The convoluted business with limited travel and trying to figure out which galaxies to fly from to get to an unactive relay, meaning you won't miss loads of stuff is annoying. I can't find a chart of where to fly from or a map on the net, for some reason. The first was simple, you could go anywhere and everything levels with you.

@holygeez03 @elpardo1984 @UmbreonsPapa @Gasarakii @SpacedDuck @KoopaTheQuick @Muddy_4_Ever @Ryu_Niiyama Have none of you played past Pro Skater 4? Underground 1 and 2 were my absolute favourites and that's coming from someone who completed Pro Skater 2 at least 20 times when they were a kid. I even liked American Wasteland quite a lot. They never strayed too far from formular back then. Mechanics were always fun, you just had the ability to sit still without holding the down button by getting off the board in the later games. Underground 2 even had a classic mode in it. The story of Underground 1 was also interesting enough that I will still play it today as well.

Re: Limited Run Games Reveals Streets Of Rage 4 Collector's Edition

Jayofmaya

You know, didn't think about it till now, but seeing that statue made me realise that Blaze seems to have aged by about 5 years but Axel seems to be pressing 50. From the old box art there was definitely no more than 8 years between them, if that. Blaze looks about 32 tops, though. Don't know why but it is a niggle.

Re: English Gamers Are The Best At Mario Kart, New Study Says

Jayofmaya

Haha Ecco the dolphin? That's ancient. Guess (other than Rock Band) it means the older system titles? Tbf Mario Kart 7 was like the only time I went up against Japanese players online and beat them regularly, so it is believable. Then again, Mario Kart is mostly just luck of items.

Re: Feature: Zelda: Majora's Mask At 20 - The Enduring Appeal Of Nintendo's Strangest Game

Jayofmaya

I only completed this when I had the 3ds version. It seemed tedious and annoying when I was younger. I even used a guide on the 3ds with my first play through, which I never usually do. The time limit is annoying. Yes, you can reset it but you'll have to do tasks over again and get back to your place. It can all be done with ease if you know EXACTLY what you're doing. Then you'll only be doing minimal resets. However, you'll still have to skip to boss rooms and beat them again to access other side bits and heart pieces you can collect with new items and such. It was repetitive killing the first boss like 4 times tbh. I still found the game fun, like another Ocarina of Time, but it doesn't stand up to it's predecessor and I doubt I'll play through more than one more time in my life.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #40 - Mega Man

Jayofmaya

Honestly couldn't decide between the 2 contenders, so went with the hilariously bad one. I mean, not many covers have actually made me laugh out loud, but this, this made me burst out followed by little giggles like I was a school kid again.
I mean, it looks like that mega man was having a bad day; First of all, his newly acquired helmet replacement doesn't fit his head... Secondly, a wasp seems to have got caught in his suit when putting it on, leaving his right leg with a nasty swelling because he's mildly allergic to the toxin and to top it all off, he's accidentally followed through when trying to let out a quiet one. Now he's looking around to see if anyone has noticed and find the best route to a public lavatory. Poor guy.

Re: Random: Rockstar San Diego Founder Reveals What It's Like To Be Rejected By Miyamoto

Jayofmaya

@PBandSmelly Nintendo doesn't always get it right... Amiibo Festival, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, WarioWare: Snapped!, Tenchu DS, Flip Wars, Paper Airplane Chase, I'm sure there are many more that aren't up to scratch that get released anyway, I have no idea about anything pre Wii because I didn't have a GC and only had popular games on N64 and SNES when I was a kid. Personally I feel Mystery Dungeon games are also a poor quality product but Pokemon fans seem to like anything.

Re: Crysis Remastered For Nintendo Switch Revealed By Hidden Webpage

Jayofmaya

Honestly, Crysis remastered + ray tracing + Nintendo switch was not something I'd expected to hear, at all. I mean if they're actually bringing Crysis to modern age standards it will be more than tough for the Switch to handle. It was a very neat looking game back in the day that even top line PCs struggled to handle. Obviously everything's moves forward since then, but ray tracing on Switch? Interested but haven't heard anything like this before so we shall see.
