No real regrets that I can think of, but when I had a N64 I never went the extra mile to try and get my hands on WWF No Mercy so I missed out on playing one of the most best wrestling games ever...
Never thought I would post a review on metacritic, let alone a very negative one. Yet House in Fata Morgana made me do it. I know it's a visual novel and not for everyone, but damn it doesn't deserve such high praise. Doki doki club literature is way better.
Was too curious, got it on sale. I understand it being a visual novel and everything but... no it's not good. It's a story written as if it's for children, I don't understand how this can be considered a masterpiece at all.
Can't believe this rocking soundtrack album is 3 years old already. Pretty neat of Nintendo to add all these fighting minigames as well but I haven't play it for more than an hour.
The only good thing about Skyward Sword was that I was available to trade it in at my local game store to get a 60% discount on Pokemon Brilliant Diamond on launch day.
Before Brilliant Diamond, UltraSun was the last pokemon game I played and I didn't even finish it because of all the petting, grooming and such you'd have to do after every battle to keep your pokemon happy. Felt too tamagoshi-ish for me. So having happy pokemon just by battling feels perfectly fine, though indeed it does make the game a bit too easy. I'd say trim it down if possible, but it doesn't ruin the game for me.
Strange, why do I feel good after long sessions of Animal Crossing, where I'm basically doing nothing while I feel like I've wasted my day away after long sessions of Puzzle Quest, despite them both being the same: playing a videogame.
I got it, I enjoy it. First time I played Pokemon was Red on the gameboy, in my parents house. Never played diamond/pearl, was kinda burned out on pokemon at that time. Now, I'm playing Diamond, in my own place, on a big TV, in my big comfy couch. Life is good sometimes. The Japanese seem to agree.
Seriously, why do people want a new mario kart when Deluxe is just fine the way it is? ...Unless the next mario kart is a remaster of Double Dash, gimme gimme gimme!
Personally I'm very please that Mario kart Wii got outsold but damn it wasn't all that great looking back at it.
While I bought it without question, this sort of thing should be mandatory for any game. As a kid them PlayStation demo discs were my way of deciding which game I truly wanted.
Read into it, I thought it would actually be a decent deal with the Animal Crossing DLC, seeing that separately cost 25 bucks while this is a full 20 bucks upgrade. But in the small print, if you cancel your upgrade subscription you'll also no longer have access to the Animal Crossing DLC, sneaky...
