I honestly only think of shattered memories when I think of horror on the wii.
That game was amazing.
Also, I often read these articles on my phone in public places, so forcing us to watch the video without a transcript is a little frustrating, although I imagine it let's you guys put out more content, more quickly.
Thanks for reminding us of this classic horror gem!
Any time pokemon promises "open world, " my imagination is stoked.
To me, it's more fun than running down the same path as your buddy and basically having access to the same stuff in the same order, so I'll be the so that buys this pokemon.
This is a weird situation for me. I love that it's on switch and doing well. I love playing whatever I can on the switch, but. . . I'm not sure I could enjoy this the same outside of vr. The universe is so all encompassing in vr. This is literally my go to experience for the wonders of vr, and going away from that for this game seems like a downgrade I can't personally get behind.
I feel like the ogre games will always be cult following games.
When "the knight from lodis," the tactics ogre gba (or was it ds) game came out, many of the people involved went on to make FF tactics. Guess which game actually got attention?
The ogre games will always be in the shadows of other classic rpg giants, but damn, I'd choose an Ogre game any day.
You honestly don't deserve to be attacked. I think most of us get it.
I bought Black/White's generation, but wasn't excited for it.
I haven't been enchanted with another game until Arceus. While I'm finally excited for true open world, it's easy in a series like this for each person to feel like the games are stale at different points.
I hope you get re-enchanted with it somewhere down the road.
Except that Alucard was slow and large in Castlevania 3. He was retconned into said gazelle.
Grant Danasty, in the same game, was an acrobat turned into a monster, and effectively aided the Belmonts without powers or a bloodline backing him.
What of Cornell, basically a werewolf who had to learn to control his powers, who gets dragged into the fight against Dracula after his adopted sister is granted as a sacrifice?
Or for that matter, Henry Oldrey, the only gun wielder in the series, who is running around saving sacrificial children while whip wielders and casters take on Dracula directly (Sneider and Fernandez, in this case).
Who can forget Eric Lecarde, the wielder of (your boy) Alucard's spear, a human waging a battle that should be above his pay grade?
What of Sonia, the unfortunately retconned proof that a woman didn't have to be a magical caster to stand up to Dracula, but could go toe to toe with him like her eventual male progeny?
All of these characters were interesting, cool, unique, and sometimes moved like badasses, just like how Alucard was interesting, cool, unique, and sometimes moved like a badass.
However, unlike the others, Alucard got to feature on the best Castlevania game, and was suddenly catapulted to stardom.
I appreciate the game, but hate how this one entry made Alucard the major fan favorite of the series.
He's interesting, but there are so many cool characters in the Castlevania universe, and if his movement and style hadn't been retconned in this game from Castlevania 3, he may have continued to be one of many cool characters.
Instead, now he's basically the only character most of my friends ever talk about when conversing about Castlevania. . .rolls eyes
I don't mind it when it's the same company as the original, but a sequel doesn't make sense.
Although a somewhat flawed example,it's like rare perfecting their fps design after goldeneye, but moving on to a different agent.
(It's off the top of my head, so it clearly isn't a perfect example, as I wouldn't really call perfect dark a spiritual successor, but something like that situation works for me with spiritual successors).
Gamecube had more power than the ps2. PS2 did far better, and THAT'S when nintendo stopped being technically superior, since they weren't winning that fight.
My favorite starter want my first starter. My first starter was squirtle, but my fave is piplup, whom I named "Pengin," and would never, ever trade to Cartman for "shoe."
My favorite of all time is Zapdos, because his spiky plumage reminds me of Doc Brown's hair. Zapdos will always be "the Christopher Lloyd of pokemon, " to me.
My other favorites are generally the most conceptually ridiculous ones. Defeating someone with an ice cream, a bag of trash, or a chandelier always makes me laugh.
I'm glad I can customize the amount of money the campus earns. I wouldn't want my attempts at building Greendale Community College to be too successful.

Re: Stardew-Meets-Pokémon Game 'Ova Magica' Gets New Trailer, 2023 Release Date
I love games that put good detail into the breeding aspect.
Something about generations of creature improvement and/or modification just inspires interest.
This sounds like a cool game to play around in. I'll probably pick it up, put in the time, enjoy it, and blob's your uncle!

If i can have the unpopular opinion for a moment, admittedly, some of my favorite designs were trash and ice cream, so I have no room to judge.

To be fair, the ogre games have always had an absurd level of important small details, encouraging a tremendous amount of micromanaging.
