Warriors Orochi 4 Ultimate and PLA for me this weekend. I got the urge to restart my Arceus save and I'm remembering how much I liked it for being a fresh pokemon experience.
DQM and Pokemon DLC for me! I liked the Arkham games back in the day but I'm not really a superhero fan (western superheroes at least) so I most likely won't pick up the trilogy. Steamworld Build looks pretty interesting too, might pick it up down the line.
@roy130390 Dude. You're taking this so seriously its sad. An anime fight? You know I can respond to YOUR responses to me just because I want to since this is a public forum for discussion right? If what I say is bad, the mods will delete my posts. You come and reply to me and try and police me, and when I don't back down like a good little boy you claim I need to seek help and that its some anime fight. This is what happens when you live eternally online I guess 🤷
@roy130390 I'm edgy because you say I'm projecting to be a good guy, and I plainly state I'm not? Yeah this is what I expect from someone who resorts to using projection as an argument. 🤭 It's not replying to win. It's replying because I won't back down from you little internet hero.
@roy130390 I'm not a good guy. I've never pretended to be a good guy. I bantered with him and I apologized to him. You've done nothing but make me laugh. Keep it coming dude. I'll keep replying cause you keep thinking you're gonna get me good.
Edit: Yep we devolved into the projection argument. You ran out of material already. Sad.
@roy130390 The most hilarious part about this entire discussion is that you're taking this more seriously than me and even @OctolingKing13 are. I'm sure that kid is able to brush off an internet argument. You just come off as someone with a hero complex. Don't worry soldier there's plenty more out there to save 🫡
Edit: I read your second paragraph again and "I just explained why you were misunderstanding him. It was until you said that his apology wasn't sincere for some reason that it gave the opposite impression and at that point you can't blame anyone of bringing it up, it was you not letting it go." I never wanted an apology? You brought it up to me. I never spoke about it at all and it was in response to you, but keep thinking I'm offended. Don't worry bro you got me I'm kneeling aiiieeeeee and all that. That holier than thou syndrome applies to you too. 🤭
Bought this on 3DS but never got around to really playing it. I like SaGa games so I'll probably pick this up again though I probably should just play my 3DS copy.
@OctolingKing13 It's okay bro I shouldn't have gotten so grumpy over the eco-friendliness! The boomer part didn't bother me like the other guy thinks it did, but I did take my banter a little far. Hope you have a good rest of the day!
@roy130390 His old comment classified every one of us that didn't agree with him as boomers. You still aren't getting that the BOOMER part was just the laughable part to me, of course I can't let it go when Summer235 replied to me talking about it, he replied to me about it, and you replied to me talking about it. What I was focused on was his comments about eco-friendliness first and foremost the boomer part at the end was just a quip, but you can keep going on and on to defend some kid on the internet.
@roy130390 Oh please. He isn't sorry for anything dude. It's a comment section about video games and we're all hiding behind usernames. I couldn't care less what he buys, you buy, or anyone buys. I spend money in genshin impact on rolls for characters. I just think his eco-friendly argument was horrible and then tries to tell me I'm offended. I also think it's sad that kids want v-bucks more than actual games, but do I really care? Not one bit.
Edit: I also like how you say he never said I was the one offended but he replied to me and said he was sorry he offended me. Lmao. Can't make this up
I loved the game, not as much as Wonder in the end, but my god the release timing was not in this game's favor. How did they not anticipate this? It's not like Frontiers had any major platformer going up against it when it came out...I think. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@OctolingKing13 C'mon your first post reeked of holier than thou syndrome, and where in my post did I ever even express being offended? Ohhhh cause I pointed out your terrible logic of being eco-friendly and your use of a buzzword? Kids these days making up assumptions of others based on nothing. 🤭 The real world after being a teenager is gonna give you a very rude awakening lmao.
@Summer235 Totally agree with you. I really don't see why we're 'boomers' just because we're older than a teenager. I mean cmon, I'm close but not 30 yet I'm not that old! 😅
@OctolingKing13 Digital games are more eco friendly? Oh so the carbon emission from the actual console, and waste that comes from the console (packaging, wrapping etc), and from them having to be dumped someplace since they're basically plastic bricks eventually is totally okay, but physical games are where you draw the line? Seems like a cope response because you wanted to try and stick it to us boomers.
What a sad state the hobby of video gaming as turned into. Kids wishing for microtransaction currency than an actual quality game like TotK or Armored Core VI...literally anything, this year has been so amazing for gaming and they just want their microtransaction currency for skins. Sigh.
I have never played these games since I'm not usually into puzzle games, but I love level-5 games and the new one has me interested. Should I go and give these a try soon, or wait until there might be a collection on switch down the line?
@JohnnyMind For me as a kid, I could never figure out how to get into jabu-jabu. I don't know if there actually was a sign or hint anywhere, but I could never have realized as a kid to get a fish in a bottle from lake hylia and then drop it infront of him. It wasn't until I was older that I was like "huh, so that's what I need to do!" I felt like such a doofus 🤣
An example I can give you is at one point you need to turn a wooden skull into a gold one. Earlier in the chapter in a cutscene someone falls in a lake and the lady of the lake pops out and talks about silver, gold, or the plain object. So you need to take a wooden skull and drop it in the lake. The game doesn't TELL YOU that you need to go to the lake, just that you need to turn the skull gold, but again there's an entire cutscene showing you what to do 30min before you actually need to do it.
Glad you guys reviewed this no matter the score given, but there is one thing I have a gripe with. I played the entire game on steam plus postgame and never once needed a guide, and this was BEFORE they re-translated the entire game prior to the switch release. You really only have so many areas to go through in a chapter, people to talk to and key items to use. It's pretty hard to get lost. The game is a little old school but if you can play any of the old Zelda games pre-windwaker you will be fine with this game.
Brachy was my favorite since 3U until Valstraxx came along in GU and has been my favorite since. Love that fighter jet like you wouldn't believe
Edit: Also just wanna give Gogmazios from 4U a shout out for having one of the best designs
@johnedwin You keep talking about 132 mil switch units. This article is about Mario and Spidey sales in the US not the world. The 132 mil switch units sold is GLOBAL units. Not US ones. Your huge install base you're thinking of is irrelevant to this article and discussion.
Absolutely well deserved. Wonder is up there with World for me in regards of 2D platformers and I'm not even finished with it yet. The amount of pure fun and creativity in these courses show the EPD team haven't lost their magic making 2D Mario games. I think with digital sales included Mario could've beaten Spidey here in the US.
Extremely tough decision for me. TTYD is an easy answer, but I do really REALLY like the first Paper Mario, but Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is also like a peak game for me and they all hold heavy nostalgia value in my heart.....hmmm thanks NL now I'm going to be up all night debating this in my head way longer than I really should lol
I've dumped at least 150+ hours into this game on steam. It's made by one guy and it has some of the best ARPG combat I've ever experienced. The amount of customization and playstyles for your character is insane, and with mastering gear giving you their abilities innately ala FF9. This game is an absolute gem. Yes the graphics look like a flash game, because this game WAS a flash game. Thats why it has revision in the title. Anyway I'll stop shilling this game now. I already double dipped on the pre-order but wanted to say it's not just the steam reviews.
Star Ocean 2!! I've said it before, but it's my favorite series. For the longest time 3 was my favorite and it was partially due to quirks I had with 2. Every single issue I ever had with 2 was ironed out with this remake and it is absolute perfection, and is now my favorite. I don't mean to gush so much, but have to show love to my favorite series!!
Besides that though I've been playing MGS (originally was only gonna get MGS3 but I bought the whole collection like a sucker) and currently going through 2 for the first time in....ages lol. Amazing series. Have a great weekend 😁
@Rykdrew "The game is down syndrome level - easy!" Extremely uncalled for and an outdated insult that downplays people who have the ability to play video games better than you can anyway.
I'm playing Sonic Superstars still (love the game...probably my favorite classic Sonic game since 3&K, I loved mania but this is a fully new game) and Mario Wonder, and both I've been playing with family at times too. Also playing MGS3 for the first time now that it's on switch. I picked a ton of games up on this huge Eshop sale and I'm still sorting through them all lol 😅
Got home with my copy a bit ago. Played 2 zones so far and am having a blast 😄 tons of creativity in the levels right off the bat and sonic feels good to control. Really happy with this and knowing Wonder is right around the corner...yep this week is gonna be awesome!!
This week I picked up Silent Hope after hearing Dragalia Lost comparisons and already being interested in it from what I had seen. Awesome little ARPG that's like diablo 1/torchlight and Dragalia Lost combined. Also playing Disgaea 7 still, and playing some Pokemon Platinum since I got a random itch to play some older Pokemon 😅
An absolute no from me. I buy a lot of digital games but I buy a lot more games physical. I'd never buy any console that was digital only honestly not just the switch 2.
Being a huge Fate fan I double dipped and have both the switch and PS5 version. Performance issues are definitely there on the switch version, ESPECIALLY docked. The PS5 version runs pretty much flawlessly and looks beautiful as one would expect. This port is about on par with the warriors games on switch, which is to say not amazing but not bad if you prefer portability over performance. Either version though the game is awesome.
This week it's been Disgaea 7 and Fate Samurai Remnant for me! Disgaea is back on track being awesome and the new Fate game is just so freaking awesome, I was expecting a Musou and got a really awesome ARPG instead, and both are incredibly addicting games 😅
