Re: Feature: Best Castlevania Games On Nintendo Consoles

Judal27

I think since Aria of sorrow was my 1st, it's also my favorite. But as much as I really enjoy these games, the dialogue and story in general is so hilarious at times, I wonder if the ds games have a better story.

OoE in particular as that's the one I want to play the most of the ds games

Re: Japan Picks Its Favourite Final Fantasy Game And Character

Judal27

I'm glad FFXV isn't doing too bad on both lists. It suffered a lot from the Dev hell it went through but its not a terrible game in the least.

And I'm also glad FFX is so highly regarded still. It's not really my favorite in the series I think, but it is one of the few games that genuinely made me teary eyed playing through it. Tidus and Yuna are really great characters

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Wanted Sora In Smash Bros. Ultimate, But Got Rejected By Disney

Judal27

@clvr I think they said somewhere that to add fan requested characters like chrom and dark Samus, it would be better for them to be added as clones or something to that extent which is why they introduced the term echo, though I'm not sure.

If anything, long range fighters should be the ones with the least imaginative movesets considering they basically amount to shooting projectiles of some form. There is still lots of move potential for sword users without breaking the game or anything like that especially when you add in characters that can use magical properties with their swordplay like Sora.

I'd barely count byleth as a swordman considering how very little he actually uses it in its sword form. But I would add shulk and Robin to an extent. And even with those, the templates still share some similarities.

I agree that there'll just be a point where characters will always just feel similar no matter what. But I don't think that limit is reached just yet, sakurai and co just keep making them too similar. That's why I consider them lazy when it comes to swordsmen. Also, it always confuses me why swordmen get so much hate for being many and similar, when the melee type also has that problem too.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Wanted Sora In Smash Bros. Ultimate, But Got Rejected By Disney

Judal27

Hope it's not true cause he's still on my wishlist. He'd literally be the most unique "swordman" but knowing how lazy sakurai is with swords, he'd most definitely have generic slashes taken straight from other swordmen with basic magic attacks like fire, lighting, and ice blasts.

He has lots of great movesets but they'll all be discarded for sora's basic early game commands. So maybe it wouldn't be such a good idea afterall...

Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

Judal27

I bought a lot of games back then but I never considered myself a serious collector so I honestly took for granted a lot of the games I had. I adored my GameCube collection but since I wanted to buy and play PS3 games I ended up selling some that I regret doing like paper mario ttyd.

Now I would never sell my games and take better care of my collection of PS4 and switch games along with a decent amount of retro collecting too. So yeah, I consider my collection priceless now lol.

Re: EB Games Canada Says Street Fighter V: Champion Edition Is Coming To Switch

Judal27

Not that I care enough about yet more low res ports but how do you go around promoting the PS4 version by specifically using the phrase "is heading to"? We all know it's going to PS4. That phrase is more used when referring to a new platform. Either the guy writing it was literally day dreaming of a switch or its coming and they obviously had to lie.

Re: Talking Point: How Often Do You Make The 'Switch Sacrifice'?

Judal27

Portability was never a factor for me in getting the switch. So no Ive yet to make the "sacrifice" but that could change when I inevitably decide to get a version of DQ11. And since I love getting games physically, I can tell you it's much more annoying to get up and eject the cart and push in another one than it is to get up to press eject and slide a disc in.

I like being able to see clearly the work devs put into environments on a nice big screen. Which is why I always think if Xenoblade 2 was multiplat, gormott wouldn't look like a blurry mess of pixelated greens lol.

Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Played 242 PlayStation Games Last Year

Judal27

See its not hard at all to find time to play games on multiple platforms if even sakurai, who apparently works so hard he puts himself in the hospital and still continues to work, has the time lmao.
Although there just seems to be no way he can finish most of them when it includes massive jrpgs like P5. Either way, good on him for being able to enjoy some time playing games.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger 5?

Judal27

Haven't played 3 houses yet but I love FE too much to not get hyped about this. I'm the complete opposite of smash fans in that I absolutely love and want more anime swordmen preferably from other franchises tho lol. Give me Sora, a tales of character, Isaac, or another Xenoblade character that isn't rex.

Do I think FE has too many reps? Definitely. But I still prefer it over characters like Banjo and Terry. So 3/5 characters were interesting to me. And the 5th one wasn't one of the disappointing ones.

Re: Hands On: Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Could Give The Game The Second Chance It Deserves

Judal27

So much for Ninty not censoring 3rd party lmao. Apart from the censorship, I refuse to support a game that did both SMT and FE extremely dirty. It's just a discount persona to me and nothing more.

Had they just said they wanted to make a new Ninty exclusive ip, then maybe I'd have given it chance. After all, it's not like it was getting much sales through SMT and FE's names anyway lol.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"

Judal27

@BAN I can't speak on Wii u cause i don't own it nor do I visit threads about it. As for the 3ds, I've never once seen it get criticism over being a childish UI. About the only criticism I've seen of UIs in general is whether they're too crowded or too slow.
And even then I wouldn't consider it childish cause it pretty much comes blank right out the box. It certainly isn't crowded when you can rearrange the apps however you like. And it being slow is going to differ between people cause I've never experienced any slowness unless you count the eShop. I should mention I use the new 3ds so that is obviously a factor.

The point is that he mentioned the problem and it got others talking about it. It doesn't matter at all that he apparently complains a lot. In the end there are people that agree with him, but they arent going around petitioning to end Ninty because they don't give us the option to reduce the ".25 secs" it takes to get to games.

Of course you don't because you cant anyway lmao. There's a reason there are people calling it "barebones", and "lacking in features". I can't speak for everyone else, but I know I'm certainly not the only one that would jump back and forth between my games and miiverse back when it was still a thing. Not to mention the free little minigame they added that let you place badges to specifically decorate your menu lol. And I still do a very similar thing on ps4.
So I'd say I did some jumping around the menu. Maybe not as much as my phone, but in the end it wouldnt even matter cause my point is that you don't buy a phone to stare at your UI but you'd still like to customize it. We all buy consoles for the games (I hope lol). That doesn't mean there can't or shouldn't be complimentary features that have been almost standard these last years or so.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"

Judal27

@BAN The amount of time to scroll through the games, no matter how short, was already trivialized years ago by other consoles including ones made by Ninty themselves. It's literally a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" situation.
I'm not nitpicking nor am I making it a big deal. It's a problem that a dev took issue with and i said my piece as to why I do as well.

Why do I want games im not currently playing in the front? I already said in this thread that being able to personalize your console is better than not being able to at all. I like seeing my favorite games' icons at the front/top, that's why I said I'd like to have Xenoblade in the front even though I'm not currently playing it and gave my ps4 example. It's no different than wanting to customize your phone with wallpapers and such.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"

Judal27

@BAN I'd rather see my Xenoblade games at the front even if I'm not currently playing them which alphabetical order does not do. I love being able to turn on my PS4, and hearing aerith's theme with an FF7 theme while also seeing Persona 5, kingdom hearts, and shadow of the Colossus icons at the front, along with the games I'm currently playing: overwatch and dark cloud.
The same goes for my 3ds. If you don't care about that sorta thing, that's completely fine but that's why options is a thing. And Ninty should really be giving people more options. Not taking away.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"

Judal27

I agree. I don't even have that many games on my switch and it's still a hassle to look for them. Being able to rearrange how you want them and push back the stuff you'd rather not see along with nice themes that even come with great music is what makes the 3ds and PS4 menus so great. Doesn't matter if you're on the menu for a minute or 5 hours, it's just better to be able to personalize your console as you see fit.

Re: Nintendo Shares Colourful Infographic Reflecting On The Past Decade

Judal27

@Quarth Yeah I guess we do. Though I probably should have mentioned that I haven't played neither Galaxy 2 nor Samus returns, so I didn't include them. And if I had played them, I'd probably like them a lot considering I loved Galaxy 1 and I like Metroid in general.
Also I didn't realize that it was AC new leaf, for some reason my mind registered it as that amiibo party game, so yeah I'll be including that as well lol.
And I consider the rest, inferior sequels.

Re: Feature: Prepare To Meet The Light! Where Is Kid Icarus: Uprising On Switch?

Judal27

I know I'm most likely the only one, but I hope if they continue the kid icarus name that they make an action/adventure game instead. Uprising is ok but gets so repetitive way too early. But I'm not a huge fan of on rail shooters in the 1st place so I can see if others don't see it that way. The controls are horrible even when I had gotten used to them enough to finish the game. The best part about the game was the music and when you fight bosses. The banter got excessive especially when some of it wasn't good dialogue at all. I think this series would work way better as an action adventure.

Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Six Classic Games

Judal27

@arekdougy Sorry not everyone is going to lower their standards so low that they'd let corporates walk all over them. These are decades old games which I can literally download within minutes and have a better experience with on other devices for less than a penny. I'm not gonna praise them for putting a paywall on top of the one I already have just to use my internet lmao especially after they had online free for some months. Which just makes it even more obvious how its just a greedy paywall. I reiterate, this service is garbage even for $20.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Hosting Smash Bros. Ultimate Terry Bogard Livestream On 6th November

Judal27

I sincerely hope he announces the next character during this but its unlikely. Banjo content was extremely boring compared to persona and dq, and this seems like it'll be just as boring.

Kinda regret buying the season pass but I wanted all the characters anyway since this is the definitive smash game. The next game in the series sure as hell won't have the majority of these characters, if Sakurai's words are anything to go by.

Edit: Didn't see the little update lol. Oh well. I hope his moveset is interesting
