I enjoyed the first one, and the 2nd with its DLC. Haven’t played 3 yet.
My problem with X is it had too many systems and too much going on. Too many characters and side content felt meandering. I spent more time button mashing through boring dialogue than with the combat.
2 was breath of fresh air compared to X even with the gratcha stuff
I doubt that’s been reworked while reading through the review. Sometimes a game can be too long and have too much going on for it.
Maybe if it was younger and had time, I’d happily get lost in X for 200 hours. But I’ll pass.
10 really seems out of place. I can imagine some might be duped by a perfect store and get wrapped up into the hype. I was with with Wii U version
Mario Land, Crazy Castle, Links Awakening, and Donkey Kong were my first Gameboy games as a kid.
This was my first exposure to the DK character. I know people got a soft spot for the Rare redesign, but I never got over it, simply because I remember how expressive this sprite work was in this game. How much character DK had just utilizing a few pixels.
I wish they’d go full-stop back to this design, and stop teasing it
That said Platinum signed with a devil with the Tencent deal and anyone with a brain could see that Kamiya’s time at the dev had an expiration date on it after that.
There seems to be such a turnover of content in Fortnite. It doesn’t strike me as anything other than a fleeting brand exposure, gone when the next “big” character reveal hits.
No. I’ve never bought a Wario Ware game. Mini game compilations are a waste of my time and money. These should just be phone games. It’d probably do really well as a mobile game. It’d be very on-brand to feature a greedy character to headline a micro-transaction mini game compilation.

Re: Video: Here's The Official Mega Man Trailer For Amazon's 'Secret Level' Series
@97alexk oh I agree. I haven’t much cared for Mega Man since the SNES days but this looks pretty high quality.
Kind of surprised to see all the bemoaning here.
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Seeking "New Targets" In Switch Piracy Investigation
I’ve seen more interest from news outlets reporting on this, then the actual questioned Reddit community caring
Re: Mario & Luigi's Future In Doubt As A Potential Sony Acquisition Emerges
Its future was always in doubt. This is very click baitey
Re: Bayonetta Star Jennifer Hale On The SAG-AFTRA Strikes: "AI Is Coming For Us All"

Already feels soulless at times.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Pokémon
Just release the mainline games 🙄
Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?
I honestly don’t care until there is a game shown I want to play on this unknown machine.
Re: Poll: Do You Prefer Fire Emblem: Three Houses Or Engage?
Engage is boring
Re: Soapbox: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Won't Be The Franchise's 'BOTW Moment', And That's Okay
I don’t need a game that flips the series on its head.
Dread was more of the same for 2D Metroid and it was still good.
Odyssey is still much a 3D Mario game.
Uncharted 4 was still an uncharted game.
Nintendo tried something newish with Federation Force. Go play that.
Re: Suda51 Unsure If Travis Touchdown Will Return, Admits It's Not His "Call To Make"
I liked NMH3 for what it was.
Felt like an okay AA game that needed some more time
Re: Resident Evil 6 Has Sold Over 1 Million Copies On Nintendo Switch
Never played it on any platform.
I remember watching game vids on it. Didn’t like the three narrative split, and more action focus segments.
Passed on it
Re: Nintendo Announces Acquisition Of Shiver Entertainment
Never heard of them
Re: Sony On Zelda Live-Action Movie: Miyamoto Has A Really "Strong" Vision
10-15 years ago I would have been feeling fiercely protective over the IP and anxious over Hollywood messing it up.
Nowadays I don’t care. If it’s good, great! If it’s not I’m not going to lose sleep over it like some of you are aniticpating lol
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
I really wanted to like Hollow Knight but the game is a bloated mess.
Re: Talking Point: One Year On, Has Everyone Beaten Ganondorf In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
No. After 3 hours total play time I dropped it for other games.
It couldn’t keep my attention.
Which is sad because I love Zelda so much, but the open air thing is boring.
Re: Embracer Group To Split Into Three Separate Companies
This is the same company that has been buying IPs up for the last 5 years right?
Anyone ever read, “There was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly?”
Eventually she went kablooie after swallowing a horse.
Re: Saber Interactive CEO Doesn't Think $70 Video Games Are Sustainable
Gamers are cheap.
Some of these games should be close to $90 or more the way development doses have ballooned.
That or gaming companies need to reduce the amount they are pumping into them by investing in more efficient processes.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Confirmed For Switch, Adds New Chapter & Storyline
I’m going to assume it will have a Switch 2 version eventually, so I’ll wait for it then
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Mario vs. Donkey Kong For Switch?
No. Honestly. Donkey Kong 94 remake would’ve gotten me interested. They should have remasters that one
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See Colourful Cartridges Return For 'Switch 2'?
I’m sure some gamers would complain about it being kiddy.
I don’t care either way
Re: Yes, Nintendo Is Aware Of Palworld's Existence
All this company does is copy what others are doing. All of their games. Nothing special.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Reveals Why He Left PlatinumGames
Kamiya is a drama queen and has an inflated ego.
That said Platinum signed with a devil with the Tencent deal and anyone with a brain could see that Kamiya’s time at the dev had an expiration date on it after that.
Re: Fortnite's Dev Really Wants A Crossover With Nintendo But Hasn't Had Any Luck
There seems to be such a turnover of content in Fortnite. It doesn’t strike me as anything other than a fleeting brand exposure, gone when the next “big” character reveal hits.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Comments On The Possibility Of A Playable Zelda In The Future
@Cia Zelda can be whatever the devs want her to be.
They can do a twist where you think you’re playing as Link, but then reveal he is actually a she, and she is actually Princess Zelda.
Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech

Re: Xbox Acknowledges Fan Requests For New Banjo-Kazooie Game
@liljmoore where there were a bunch of mediocre Banjo clones that were just as bad as the real Banjo?
Tak, Billy Hatcher come to mind
Re: Kamiya To Take His Bayonetta Vision 'To The Grave', Thinks Franchise Will Still Continue
This guy has an expiration date on anything he does. He has no integrity at all. Class A diva, thinking he’s a rockstar.
Re: Soapbox: Ocarina Of Time's Water Temple Was Tough, But It Doesn't Deserve Its Reputation
It’s not that’s it’s tough, it’s just a drag. It’s a drag on the pacing and it sucks
Re: Zelda: TOTK And Mario Wonder Land GOTY Nominations At The Game Awards 2023
@MadmanMike oh it’ll win. The sheer amount of bandwagoning PC fans will do, will make it happen. Not sure if that’s the right word
Re: Zelda: TOTK And Mario Wonder Land GOTY Nominations At The Game Awards 2023
I’m playing Engage right now. I don’t get what’s so good about it.
The voice acting, story, and character design is so bad that it actually takes away from
The gameplay, which so far feels pretty standard Fire Emblem
Re: Nintendo Is Most-Nominated Publisher At The Game Awards 2023
Haha! Suck it, DreamCastGuy
Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release
@DonkeyBrainKing
So what is it? If the theft isn’t a big deal to their pockets, then you’re not “sticking it to them.”
The only one who gains anything out of the piracy is the pirate.
Piracy isn’t a form of activism. It’s just how selfish people validate thinking they’re above everyone else.
Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release
Pirates and leakers suck. And they always will.
It’s their attitude of believing they’re better than everyone else and should be allowed to “demo” the game while the majority purchases it.
Just excuses to try and validate their thievery lol at least own up to your faults and have an ounce of self-awareness. People would respect you more
Re: Miyamoto And Avi Arad Have Been Discussing The Zelda Movie For A Decade
Avi Arad is a airhead.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
@Moistnado Brie Larson in white tights and a tunic? Yes please.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Is Officially Working On A Live-Action Legend Of Zelda Movie
Avi Arad?
I wonder if he’s going to force Venom in the movie?
Re: Nintendo Switch Has Now Sold Over 132 Million Units
It won’t hit the DS any time soon
Re: Poll: WarioWare: Move It! Is Out Today, Will You Be Getting It?
No. I’ve never bought a Wario Ware game. Mini game compilations are a waste of my time and money. These should just be phone games. It’d probably do really well as a mobile game. It’d be very on-brand to feature a greedy character to headline a micro-transaction mini game compilation.
Re: Video: Wario Side-By-Side Voice Comparison (New VA & Charles Martinet)
Listen. If I didn’t know it was a new guy, I wouldn’t be analyzing the hell out of it trying to describe what’s different or wrong about it.
It’s fine. Mario is fine. Occasionally he sounds like Mickey Mouse, but it’s ok
Re: Soapbox: No, Mario Wonder's Most-Annoying Character Isn't The Talking Flower
I haven’t noticed
Re: Sakurai Is Sceptical That Future Smash Bros. Titles Can Match Ultimate's Scope
@JohnnyMind a reboot with a smaller roster would be such a bad move. The bad PR would be crazy.
Re: Sakurai Is Sceptical That Future Smash Bros. Titles Can Match Ultimate's Scope
I spent a lot of time with Ultimate and I didn’t even finish the single player word of light thing.
If I was still a kid and didn’t have adult stuff, this game would’ve consumed me for years.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
7
Tropical Freeze is a better platfomer.
That’s the only reason why. I’d give TF a 9 and by that scale Wonder would have to be a 7
Re: Random: Nintendo Gives Princess Peach Some Facial Tweaks In 'Showtime!' Key Art
I’m okay with it. I like the princess peach design in the movie. Felt more lively and less doe-eyed.
Re: Random: Star Fox Dev Thinks Star Fox Adventures "Was Too British"
What an obnoxious way to describe a game.
