A bunch of dlc, announcements of announcements, a few decades old roms locked behind a sub but now you pay more, time wasted on a movie instead of a game, and a Bayonetta that doesn't seem to lose her clothes when using wicked weaves. It was pretty boring
Kirby was the main thing for me. A 3D Kirby always seemed like a great idea, and I'd spend so much time running around the city in Air Ride thinking how fun a game like that would be. Hoping it turns out great, and that bayo looking like her kid self explains the funny makeup and costume as well as her wicked weaves
I loved his work as count edmont. Didn't realize he was in xc2 but I can't say any of the voice work in that game impressed me at all so that's surprising. May he rest in peace
About 80%. Wanted to get my $60 worth because the main story and DBs along with the repetitive 100 shrines left me completely unsatisfied. But going around a huge mundane map looking for the tiniest detail off that could be a korok is not exactly fun either
I caved and bought Skyward Sword. Really wanted a new and actually good 3d Zelda again since it's been a long while since Twilight Princess came out
And aside from the obnoxious controls and ugly noses and mouths everyone got from this "HD" relift, it's been so much fun to play through. What I'd give to have another proper Zelda again built for the switch, instead we're getting empty open world game #89
They managed to make some of the blandest looking side characters ever. Really hoping the story is more fleshed out this time and the characters more charming than the other 2 SMTs I've played
And the demons still look as amazing as ever and the animations so so good
Definitely used to be City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2 for me. If only cause of the banger of a song. But actually the stage is just very fun to run thru and it gives a good amount of resources for your chao
Loved this chapter so much. Every time i replayed the game, this chapter was the one i looked forward to the most alongside the express train one. And part of it is definitely because of the writing and the charismatic characters
It's extremely depressing to think we're likely never getting another good paper mario ever again
Loved the chao garden but part of it is cause it was great motivation to learn the stages and speedrun them along with trying to A rank them for the secret stage.
Made me appreciate the stages that much more since many of the later games have pretty meh stages
It's cool they're including a steelbook for the standard version again, but i was really hoping itd have better art work. The standard box art is pretty boring, it being on a steel book doesn't make it any better
Not only are the 3d models really generic and cheap looking straight out of some mobile game. They also managed to ruin the art style too. Considering it's just the same games but worse looking, they might as well have just ported the games as is and called it a day
Yikes, might dust off the tablet on October but that's a big might. 2d metroid isn't worth $60. For sure, can't wait for November tho, but that's about it
I just saw the actual trailer for advance wars and damn that was just really meh. They bring back a dormant series by just remaking the same games but with an ugly coat of paint that makes them look like mobile games? I would've just preferred a collection if that was all, but surely it deserves a bit better
I don't even want to think of what they'd do if they ever decide to revive golden sun...
Didn't watch it like some of the other livestreams but from what I'm seeing announced. Smtv was the only thing that had me excited, while metroid and advance wars piqued my interest a bit. Botw looks boring so far, and the rest i didn't care for or are just ports of games i already own. Sad that monolith is still gonna be silent for a while longer i guess
Idk whether from software saved e3 with elden ring or atlus with smtv, but it really was one of the worst e3s overall
How do they still manage to make link look less and less like link and more ugly. Jesus christ
It's still too early to tell but i was hoping this would be botw's majora's mask, but that was quite boring. Except for that liquid ability thing. That looked pretty interesting
That looked extremely rough especially when P5 already had demons look so clean and smooth. And the MC looks absolutely ridiculous lol. Still hyped to play this
I don't actively look for leaks but i don't care if I come across a very believable one. Never understood why people consider that a spoiler. If you find out about a game reveal early, then get excited early and look forward to the inevitable trailer? Whether you watch an accidental early released trailer or watch it at the intended time, what's the difference? You're still watching the exact same thing
As infamous as 06 was, I still had fun running around that open world with all the different unlockable abilities despite being pretty empty. And Adventure 1's open areas were a ton of fun with all the little things and power ups to discover
Sonic definitely has potential in making a great open world. So I'm hoping this is the one they succeed in if the rumor is true
At this point, I don't even know if i have a top 5. I play so many and end up falling in love with almost each one so much that i start to think it's the best game ever. Until the next best game ever comes along which for me is currently Nier Replicant
I'll always remember the gamecube era of Ninty games very fondly though especially paper mario and the 2 zeldas
@stinky_t Literally no one said you're bad for buying digital. Just that Scapetti's post sounds like he's glad and for the death of physical media. Which is pretty ridiculous. As if ignoring physical and going all digital wasn't already a completely viable option. What would you gain from having less options?
I miss the ones that mainly just had artwork and character/story/items info. It was a neat little extra. But at this point, the internet delivers that and more anyway
Back when they were around tho, as an actual manual, i probably used it maybe twice or 3 times for menus or mechanics i forgot about
Assuming it's one of the big three and buying them means their ips become exclusive, I'd hope it's sony considering nintendo would literally make them regress with their horrible hardware and microsoft is microsoft lmao
But please no just leave 3rd party devs alone. They work best as 3rd party devs
@HeadPirate Yea you did play a different game. The XV i played at launch which is inferior to the one with updates, had optional dungeons, rare weapons and items to look for, hunts for unique enemies, and mini games like fishing or Chocobo racing. Its no more empty than BotW unless you want to count the 900 pieces of turd that not even the devs want you to look for
It also had plenty of side quests but a lot of them were terrible fetch quests like the ones you'd find in BotW, the so called "masterpiece"
It absolutely is one of the best zeldas. I was expecting wind waker lite out of it and it was exactly what I got which i loved. It was fun exploring what felt like a mini open world. And i really liked doodling my terrible looking maps. I fully enjoyed it much more than BotW
Never understood how people could love spirit tracks and hate phantom hourglass when it was basically the same game except PH didn't force you on linear rail roads having to avoid trains which was tedious and annoying more than anything.
Happy to see Berseria at 5. It's easily one of the best Tales of games and probably has my favorite cast of characters in the series. But too bad it couldn't beat Zestiria's sales
Seems like the people that bought Zestiria and ended up hating it decided not to give the next game a chance. When that next game is far far better
Having been playing XIV a long while now, i can say it's probably my favorite FF by far.
The story and music put the vast majority of the other games to shame. Combat starts off really slow and repetitive but really shines when fighting bosses in dungeons or primals. And the locations remind me a lot of Xenoblade which are gorgeous. Easily worth the sub
Never hated it. The world was colorful and vibrant. And the toon style never made the game feel ridiculous during the more serious or sad moments. It's a genuine masterpiece in my eyes
@Heavyarms55 "Instead they refuse to sell those titles, and pirates happily fill the gap. Nintendo will never stop the Homebrew and piracy community. For every rom site they take down, 3 more will pop up."
I mean not many action adventure games that i know of have as many rpg troupes that Zelda has. You have an overworld with mobs, towns to visit, and dungeons that you have to progress through to advance the story. Most action adventure games don't really offer that and are pretty straight forward in that regard aren't they?
Sometimes it feels like Zelda is an rpg in all but stat raising which is only 1 characteristic of an rpg. But despite that i still wouldn't know what to classify it lmao
And i enjoyed sonic chronicles for what it was. It was just as fun to me as the Mario and Luigi games, especially when it came to exploring the overworld. But i don't think it has any business being in a best ds RPGs list tbh

Re: Here's Shin Megami Tensei V's First English Dub Trailer And Cast List
Just off this trailer, it doesn't hold a candle to P5's amazing dub. And blondie's voice doesn't fit at all.
At least it isn't as atrocious as IV's. But I'll be sticking with subs for sure
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Yesterday's Nintendo Direct?

Re: Video: Check Out This Comparison Of The Pokémon Diamond And Pearl Remake Trailers
Still looks like a waste of $60. Hope they don't ruin Gen 5's remake like this
Re: Talking Point: Which Video Game Song Could You Listen To For Ten Hours?
Almost everything from Persona 5, Xenoblade 1 & 2, Nier, and FFXIV. Phenomenal soundtracks
And most recently Skyward Sword's version of the great fairy fountain theme because damn is it so beautiful
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 14th)

Probably duck hunt and mario bros but thru some cheap knock off plug n play boxes that they'd sell a lot in swap meets
Re: Gallery: Atlus Shares 30 Screenshots Of Shin Megami Tensei V For Switch

Re: Video: Atlus Releases A New Story Trailer For Shin Megami Tensei V
Story already sounds more interesting than IVs. And the animations are just fantastic
This is how you sacrifice demons for better animation and quality, not the sorry excuse Game freak gives for pokemon

In the deepest recesses of everyone's mind, hopefully

So so glad it's just another redundant model. Id hate to have to spend any more than i already had to with the original switch

I really only want to see monoliths next game and smtv. I'm thinking smtv will be there so that might be good at least but I'm not hyped
Re: Nintendo Asks That You Don't Co-Stream The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, Thanks Very Much

Re: Best Nintendo 3DS RPGs
