Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Direct?

KirbyTheVampire

I like the pace of the headline format, but what I don't like is how you can see all the announcements before they actually happen. Kinda "spoils" it, in a way.

As for the Direct, it was pretty good for what it was. It was never gonna be a giant reveal party or anything. Not sure what some people were expecting.

@MattFox Nope. I've been avoiding everything about Odyssey since the initial reveal trailer.

Re: Video: Super Mario Odyssey Seems to Have at Least 600 Power Moons to Collect

Not a good sign IMO. I don't think they're going to get anywhere close to making 600 memorable moons. They're probably gonna be Korok seeds 2.0. I think the game is gonna suffer pretty badly for this, unless they've been brainstorming on moon ideas for years.

I guess this is Nintendo trying to make every game be playable in bite-sized chunks for those portable players out there.

Sounds like a lot of you, especially the person who wrote the article, are just bad at the game. I never had any such problems with the controls, and it remains one of my favorite games of all time.

I'm sure it's not as polished as Odyssey, but I still never thought to myself that the controls sucked, and especially not to the point where I would call it a "very bad game".

Re: Review: Troll and I (Switch)

This game would be forgivable if it wasn't almost full priced. Who in their right mind would buy this, instead of coughing up just a few extra dollars and buying something that actually pulls this style of game off well, AKA The Last Guardian?

Re: Editorial: Is This a Golden Era of Gaming? Absolutely

KirbyTheVampire

This year has been pretty darn great, but I don't know if I'd call this era as a whole "golden". The PS4 has only really been picking up steam in the past 2 or 3 years, and the Wii U was IMO the worst Nintendo console ever in terms of its library.

However, if next year and the following years are as good as this year has been, then I'd say it's a golden era for sure.

Re: Dragon Quest XI and Nintendo Switch Still Dominate the Japanese Charts

@retro_player_22 It's mostly only the PC master race crowd who really cares about 4K, and they already had PCs that could play games in 4K before the PS4 Pro was even a thing.

4K is nice, don't get me wrong, but I'm certainly not buying a 600+ dollar TV and a brand new console just for better resolution, especially not when I already own the Slim iteration of that console. Once I need a new TV, I'll certainly buy a 4K one (or 8K, if that's a thing by the time I need a new one), but for now, I'm more than happy with 1080p.
