So much I could say to this whole, article, I love it. I remember exactly when I first learned Samus was a woman. I was sitting in my brother's room, playing SSB64 with him. (a rarity, as I was his annoying little sister) I picked Samus to play as, and I believe I said something like "I like Samus. He's cool." And my brother said "Samus is a girl, actually." And even as a vaguely seven-year-old, that felt pretty cool. Samus was cool, man. Even as young as I was, I knew that she was unique in her medium.
Of course the problem is that when Samus has her armor on, she's a badass. Strong, stoic, serious. But then as soon as she takes off her helmet, Nintendo has to be like "Oh crap, right, she's a FEMALE" and mucks it all up.
@BloodNinja Perhaps, but it's just as likely that the themes will be squashed by the makers of the show in an effort t make it appeal to kids, whether or not that's true
I am trying to beat some backlog games before Monster Hunter Stories 2 comes out. My sd card is full to the brim and can't fit anything else. I could just go and get a bigger card, but that feels like avoiding the issue
Half of my Switch games are multiplayer games, like party games. I would always bring my Switch to gatherings. I haven't been to a party in over a year now, but I can't bring myself to delete them
I keep hoping for an update that'll fix the crappy box system in the mobile version of home. For a series tat has always done sortable boxes, the fact that I have to open my Switch to move a newly traded legendary from the mobile side into it's actual box is stupid
@Phillips455 Yeah, I already did that in X,and kept it going forward. The transfer to home almost ended up in disaster, but it's fine. It takes stupid long to arrange stuff in Home
I'm not interested in most of the long dormant IPs they announced today, but I was excited with howany of them there were, and I know even if it wasn't what I was hoping for, it was a good E3
So many of the presentations being so barebones is waning my hopes of Zelda news. I guess it's to be expected. Hopefully Nintendo can top the announcement that got me the most excited this E3, which was literally pants.
9/12. Pretty good for someone who didn't have internet until 2015. 2016 was the first year I had a good chance of watching it though. It was my senior year, right before graduation, and pretty much had all free classes so I logged onto E3 literally right when Link released the arrow and the fade to white in the announcement trailer. I turned to another dude in my class that I knew was watching on his phone and asked if I had just seriously missed a Zelda announcement and he was like "yup"
Caves have been 99% the same since I first started playing over 10 years ago, I'm so ready for them to change. A shame the update got split, but this year has messed up everything
I bet the CD got put into their library, either knowingly or unknowingly, and then people just used the images without ever looking into the source. Not the devs fault, I imagine, but still stealong. Whoops. Pay up, Capcom.
I figure either "New" or a word that they haven't used before. I'm not sure if it's gonna be a big upgrade though. I'm kinda wondering if it's just going to be another baby revision
I kinda want some kind of pro, just so I have an upgrade when my current Switch needs replacing in a year ot three, but I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that it's not going to be an upgrade like the PS4 Pro, but more like the upgraded Switch we've already gotten with improved battery life
If I wasn't a coward about popping electronics open, I'd totally reshell my Switch atomic purple. It's the color I had as a kid and even though I didn't like the colors when I was little, I loved it
I seriously doubt Nintendo would straight up replace the current Switch with a more expensive one. The current Switch is selling well, why get rid of it? If the "Switch Pro" does in fact replace the current model, I don't think it'll be as much of an upgrade as people are hoping for
@BlubberWhale I'm not trying to hype it up, just my Switch is filled to the brim, and I'm trying to finish some of them to uninstall instead of doing the non-solution of just buying a bigger SD card. XD Backlogs are such a silly problem to have...
Not sure why people would click on an obvious otome game article to complain about visual novels. 🤔 I have a hard time making time for them, and I have this contradictory want to listen to all the voice acting but also I read really fast and lose patience when I have to wait for the game. I still haven't even really dipped my toes in Steins;Gate, and I've had it for years
@Poodlestargenerica What? It's not like they have to choose between the two. The teams that do those things are completely different, and one takes way more time then the other.
That's insane, I'm still like, thirty Pokemon short of having all of them, and they're obviously not shiny.
I think I've gotten three natural shinies? The first was a Gravler in Pearl that sadly knew self-destruct, the second was a Far-fetched in Y that I caught, and the third is a Wishiwashi that I got last month in Moon.
@Doofenshmirtz A little while before that E3, the Youtuber JoCat did a video about looking at Pokemon animations. As a side note, he said with the sheer amount of Pokemon, no matter how linited their animations are, if they keep adding them, eventually they will have to have a limited selection in the games.
I found this completely reasonable and wasn't terribly surprised or upset that they were limiting Pokemon.
The thing that did make me angry was how they announced it. As a side note in a treehouse presentation. I watched it live and was like "Really? Did he really just say that all casual like maybe of they say it quietly people won't notice?" And then Gamefreak was just a little scummy about it. They really could've used more tact.
It is disappointing that we're four years in, and all we're getting is drip fed third party SNES games that no one cares about. Like, there are GB and GBC games, if they aren't wanting to do N64 games yet. Though they've demonstrated that they have a perfectly good N64 emulator. It's just kind of annoying that Nintendo holds such a tight grasp on things that are impossible to get legit.
I'm a HH and CB main in the old world. But in the demo, my obsession was the LBG. After launch it was the DB and the GS. Now this week it's been the IG. I didn't really have an opportunity to fully take my time in World, so I've been loving the training room in Rise. Between that and a very useful and concise video breaking down all the weapons, I'm hoping to give all the weapons a shot at some point. I'm having a blast fighting the same monsters, just with different weapons
In World the drop tables were the same, so if you had the traps, it was always better to capture. But Rise goes back to the Old World tables, which has different drop rates and sometimes trap or kill exclusive bits. It's a little funny since the default was always to kill in places like MHGen, but maybe it's all the World players? Idk. I haven't played with any randos yet
@UltimateOtaku91 Mario Kart 8 is a port, and Splatoon has DLC. PC games are always way bigger then games on Switch. Stardew Valley has bigger updates on Steam then the game is total on my Switch. I don't think you need to be worrying about a game's level of content based on its file size, that's a totally subjective unit of measurement
@UltimateOtaku91 The biggest games on my Switch are Spyro and Project Diva. One is a port of a triple pack of games using tons of detailed models, one is a rhythm game with over 100 songs and tons of DLC. Most my other games are 6-8. It's a matter of compression and optimization. It's more a testament to Capcom's talented optimization then any sort of negative. Once the free updates come out, the file size will balloon, but that's just how DLC works, not because the game is gouged or anythibg silly like that
@marandahir Oh, yup. I rememebered I actually sent a picture to ConcernedApe. They definitely used his as a starting point, at the very least https://puu.sh/HrNqV.jpg
