E3 used to be our Superbowl, but now interestingly, it's tainted by a mix of its own legacy and the era of which we live in today.
-You can tell most games aren't ready to be shown by the amount of CGI reveals with no gameplay.
-The commercialization of the event with celebrities, dance routines, and full on concerts like anyone gives a damn (Remember when Sony had flute dude and banjo boy at their conference in 2018? Horrible).
-Trends that doesn't need to be at the forefront of E3 getting big attention like eSports.
-Other than Square and Nintendo, the best parts of E3 2019 was Keanu Reeves and a dog.
E3 was heading towards ruin a long time ago, but maybe taking a year off will cause the ESA to get back to what made E3 great.
If you didn't know what was going on when you saw the $50,000 Switch goal, then you're probably out of the loop on a bunch of other stuff too including your girlfriend "hanging out" with her straight male "best friend" named Chad.
I donated simply to show support, but the game was already done for the Switch by the Kickstarter.
The reason Bayo 2 was even a thing was that Bayo 1 essentially flopped and no one wanted to pick up a sequel other than Nintendo, which is why we got a Bayo 2, so now Platinum thinks the landscape is favorable enough to return to what they were before?
The W101 thing was cool, but now I'm starting to get skeptical about what Platinum is doing here.
Watched Rick & Morty and thought it was cool for a chuckle or two, but people claiming that one would have a low IQ if they didn't like or get Rick & Morty, is equivalent to Death Stranding and Kingdom Hearts fans getting mad that people don't get being a UPS delivery man as gameplay, or having the most pretentious story in videogame history be so convoluted.

Re: The Reason Why Nintendo's Games Are So Good? Devs Are Given "As Much Time As They Need"
All I gather is that a decent Nintendo game is still better than 60% of the industry's best work.

Re: Capcom's Former GameCube Exclusive Resident Evil 4 Is Reportedly Getting A Remake
Just came in to say that every game doesn't need a remake.
Especially all your favorite ones from yesteryear.

Yikes!
Re: Guide: Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Growing And Breeding Flowers, Hybrid Flowers And Gold Roses Explained
I ain't gonna lie, doing some garden work in ACNH is probably one of my favorite things to do.
Also, I think some flowers cross breed if you plant them right next to each other.

Re: UK Charts: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX Goes Straight To Number One
I want to make fun of the UK for letting this mediocre game get to #1, but I'll hold on to that until I see what the game does in America.
And never forget:
The UK let Aliens: Colonial Marines hit #1😂
Re: Nintendo PlayStation Sells For Significantly Less Than Was Previously Offered
What gave the guy the idea that this thing is worth more than 1.2 mill if even that?
He's a total moron for blowing an opportunity like that.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 9.2.0 Is Now Live
We stable boyz!
Re: PlatinumGames Admits Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Had Nothing To Do With Raising Funds

Re: Random: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Booth At PAX East Reduces Discord Community Manager To Tears
I'm just happy this isn't a dude embarrassing himself.
Re: Feature: Samurai Shodown Director "Cried Out In Surprise" When He Saw The Switch Version
Biggest news is that the guy wants to revive Garou!
Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?
For $20 a year, it's is.
I can think of other ways I've wasted $20, if that's what you want me to do, folks.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 Dev Retro Studios Hires Super Lucky's Tale And Crysis 3 Designers
Not sure why people think adding designers of completely different games constitutes as a good thing, but I hope it works out.
Re: Untitled Goose Game Grabs Game Of The Year At DICE 2020 Awards, Here Are All The Winners
I know that people like this game due to the meme factor, but this wasn't one of the best games in 2019.
Controversial troll pick at best.
Re: Random: The Guy Behind 'Thong Song' Has Backed The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter
It's really cool to find out who's really gamers as far as different levels of celebrities.
Sisqo(and Dru Hill) is from my city(Baltimore).
Re: PlatinumGames Wants To Bring The Complete Bayonetta Series To Other Platforms
So let's look back at history:
The reason Bayo 2 was even a thing was that Bayo 1 essentially flopped and no one wanted to pick up a sequel other than Nintendo, which is why we got a Bayo 2, so now Platinum thinks the landscape is favorable enough to return to what they were before?
The W101 thing was cool, but now I'm starting to get skeptical about what Platinum is doing here.
Re: Review: Arc of Alchemist - One Of The Worst RPGs To Hit Switch So Far
lmao!
There's way too many better RPG's taking up my time on the Switch anyway.
Re: Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid Receives Huge Version 2.0 Update
I have this game, but I haven't played it as much as I'd like too(which makes me get bodied when I go online).
The work that the devs have been continuing to do on this game is amazing considering the state it launched in.
Re: Amazon Listing Appears To Reveal Saints Row IV: Re-Elected For Nintendo Switch
I might just get this dumb game to goof off.
This was when Violtion knew that trying to top GTA was impossible so they started doing some goofy stuff with the franchise.
I hope this runs better than SR3.
Re: Daemon X Machina Is No Longer A Switch Exclusive, Arrives On PC This Month
The PC community will do some crazy things with this game.
I'm all for it!
Re: Wonderful 101 Confirmed For Switch, But There's A Catch
I already did my part and backed the physical Switch version with a keychain.
I support good developers PERIOD.
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Switch Has Hugely Successful Week As Stock Shortages End
How are people still buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
Re: Rumour: Wonderful 101 On Switch Teased (Again) By PlatinumGames
Not sure why this game would come out on the PS4.
Those folks don't buy games that are creative and have good gameplay.
Re: Sony Is Asking PS4 Owners If They Want Remote Play On The Nintendo Switch
@Octane Interesting because you'll be playing poo while taking a poo.
Re: Start Your Island Life With This Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch
And here I thought I wasn't getting another Switch until a "Pro" version comes out..
Re: There's "No Store" Or Microtransactions In DOOM Eternal
We're complementing devs for not doing what they used to not do before?
Re: Review: Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath - Despite Its Rough Edges, This Is Still Worth A Look
I remember buying this back in the day on my OG XBOX.
I thought the concept with the bug ammo was cool and the game was fairly enjoyable.
I'll probably get this game when the time is right.
Re: Captain Tsubasa: Rise Of New Champions Brings The Soccer-Anime Series Back After 10 Years Away
I'm a sucker for goofy sports animes.
I'll be keeping an eye on this game.
Re: Random: Smash Bros. Director Masahiro Sakurai Played 242 PlayStation Games Last Year

Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Will Get A Physical Release Thanks To Limited Run Games
I'm on it as soon as pre-orders are live.
No questions asked.
Re: 'Secret Screen' Nintendo 64 Prototype Resurfaces More Than 20 Years Later
Well, we got the DS, 3DS, and the Wii U, so the concept lived on in some shape or form.
Re: Random: Fans Have Some Fun With Inteleon's New Gigantamax Form
I just got Intelleon not too long ago....
Best choice for a starter that I ever made.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Getting An Expansion Pass, And It Looks Mighty
I initially defended Sword and Shield before, but I won't do it here.
I also won't chide anyone that does want this expansion.
Re: You're Not Dreaming, This N64-Style Platformer Really Is Coming To Wii U
Looks like an early access Steam game rather than an N64 one.
Re: Speaking Simulator Might Be The Most Bonkers-Looking Switch Game We've Seen Yet
I'm scared right now....
Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Fire Emblem: Awakening
How could this game be better than what 3 Houses brings to the table?
It's probably the best SRPG I've played in 17 years.
Re: Hang On, Competitive Pokémon Fans Are Liking Sword And Shield's National Dex Cut
I haven't played a Pokemon game since HG/SS so the dex cut was like a soft reboot to me.
And I think a lot of people like myself are okay with that.
Re: Talking Point: Cadence Of Hyrule Showed An Exciting New Side To Nintendo In 2019
I wish Nintendo would let the devs of Wargroove (Chuckefish) get a crack at developing a game in the Advance Wars series.
Re: Review: Trover Saves The Universe - You Don't Have To Love Rick & Morty, But It Helps
Watched Rick & Morty and thought it was cool for a chuckle or two, but people claiming that one would have a low IQ if they didn't like or get Rick & Morty, is equivalent to Death Stranding and Kingdom Hearts fans getting mad that people don't get being a UPS delivery man as gameplay, or having the most pretentious story in videogame history be so convoluted.
I'll probably pass on this one.
Re: Random: Xbox Series X? That's Just A Tall GameCube, The Twitter Masses Say
Not gonna lie, I'm thinking I might get this over a PS5 as a secondary console simply from a technical standpoint because MS has that on lock.
Also: This doesn't look like a GameCube.... everything doesn't have to be about Nintendo, folks.
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 Sees The Return Of The Beloved Character You All Asked For

Re: Review: Pine - An Ambitious Zelda Pretender That Fails To Find Its Feet On Switch
@LUIGITORNADO Imagine being mad because someone gave an honest review?
Re: Review: Pine - An Ambitious Zelda Pretender That Fails To Find Its Feet On Switch
Despite this review, I'm weirdly interested in BotW knock-offs just to see how other companies would spin that experience.
Re: Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Six Classic Games
This is why people should just shut up.
There was a topic whining about the lack of games on NES/SNES online on Tuesday, only for them to look like fools on Wednesday.
😂😂😂

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Is The Fastest-Selling Switch Game Yet
Bu-But THE NATIONAL DEX!!!
😂😂😂😂
I haven't played Pokmon until this new entry in years since Heart Gold and I gotta say that this game is a lot of fun on its own merits.
The future is looking bright for the next Pokemon game no matter what the haters say.
Re: Anniversary: Feel Old Everyone, Donkey Kong Country Turns 25 Today
This game was cool, but the sequel was even better in every way possible.
