It's hilarious reading comments about how the open areas were "obvs inspired by BotW." It's literally just Hyrule Field, surrounded by elemental dungeons and all! It's the most OoT game released in ages, and the people pining away for that don't even see it.
I mean why not? If its just more options, who cares? My youngest needs help with Rayman etc every now and then, but he puts in a good effort before he asks.
@rvcolem1 I left case management w the homeless to do wheelchair transport just recently, so I drive around Denver all day. I can't put into words how careless and stupid some drivers are, lol. Luckily I dont have the road rage thing.
@Zeldork imagine if "advances in ai" all made us really excited because it meant like a character in a musuo game would fight back or something? Or if a nasty in Dark Souls did something really clever when you tried to trick it with geometry?
Instead it is killing concept artists. Literally when a game is the coolest because fewer hands have touched it, and watered it down?
We will only get hybrids of hybrids of remasters of hybrids.
Ai will never make a Treasure game. Ai could only tribute a Treasure game.

I have a seven year old, lol.
Anyway, sign of the times. Adult Batman, I mean. I grew out of TMNT, some folks did not.

When the 8 bit Mega Man games were current, I was burned out by MM5. I hope this is rad. I just don't doubt that Gravity Circuit and Shovel Knight perfected it.
I love Prime 4, personally, but its definitely nowhere near the accomplishment Prime 1 was. That's cool w me though. Its just so stunning in its art direction. Just love to exist in the game world.
Oh, I just figured BLOPS 7 was them finally making the campaign so bad it excuses them from making another. That's not just me dunking on CoD, I mean it. I figured they'd be there by about now.
@nervous-noodles there is not a single aspect of it that feels good. Stealth is awful, missions are awful, combat is awful, and they were bad at release. Arguably, the only thing that holds up are the graphics, and thats just cause I play a ton of old games.
I didnt enjoy RDR2 either. Its hard to get into a game that is so open when the missions offer no agency at all.
I don't think I will be getting a Switch 2. I've been priced out, and Nintendo has the kind of hubris right now that MS had running up to XBONE. I got this last game from them, and then I am building my Switch 1 physical collection. I have a ton of third party and indie physical on Switch, but am missing a few of the things I couldn't wait to play. Also Prime 4 is gorgeous on Switch 1.
Everyone complaining that Prime 4 was influenced by BotW seems to have forgotten the structure of Ocarina...while simultaneously begging for a new game in the OoT format. Its literally Hyrule Field, surrounded by forest, lightning, lava, and ice temples!

Re: Review: Stray Children (Switch) - A Surreal, Captivating, Undertale-Inspired RPG
@mlt oh, I like random encounters. So maybe this game is not for you, but it is for me.
Re: Review: Stray Children (Switch) - A Surreal, Captivating, Undertale-Inspired RPG
This looks exactly my kind of game.
Also, for anyone that doesn't know, there are translated Mother 3 rom carts out there. Lots of cool stuff on GBA.

Labyrinth of the Demon King is for sickos like me. Rad game.

@WaveBoy You neglected to rank the Powerglove.
Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
@FantasiaWHT I know what you mean. I am really frustrated my PS1 won't run RE2 Remake.
Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
@FantasiaWHT so this came out in 2023.
Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
More interested in hearing how the Switch 1 version runs.
Re: Oh No, Vampire Crawlers' Gameplay Trailer Suggests It's Going To Suck Up All Our Time
@gojiguy it's more involved than the average Sonic or Musuo game, and at least it's hilarious to boot.
Re: Oh No, Vampire Crawlers' Gameplay Trailer Suggests It's Going To Suck Up All Our Time
I've never gotten on with deck builders, but I'll try this one.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
@CRASH64 thumbs up for Metamorphic Force!
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
@Serpenterror ...Mutant Apocalypse was great. I personally thought the Genesis X-men games were pretty overrated.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
@CaleBoi25 GotG is waaaaaaay better than I expected. You should snag it if you have a PS5 etc.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Marvel Games
I would rate X-men vs Streetfighter alone over Cosmic Invasion. Great game, but those fighters are legendary.

Re: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Updates Planned For Switch Platforms
I think its legit great on an OLED. Echoing someone else here, reading the log entries and exploring works well when I am just playing in bed.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (13th December)
Still Prime 4 and Blood: Refreshed Supply.
Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At The Street Fighter Live-Action Movie, Due Out 2026
Looks over the top and goofy, which is what it should be. Hip hop never went with SF for me though.
Re: Aspyr No Longer Releasing Deus Ex Remastered On Switch In February 2026
Deus Ex goes to Bluepoint or Nightdive, not Aspyr. Like WHAT?

Re: Video: LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight 'Official Heroes & Villains Trailer'
@Tibob Imagine if Batman was invented to expand the minds of 10 year olds, or something. Wouldn't that be a silly world.
Lol.
Re: Video: LEGO Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight 'Official Heroes & Villains Trailer'
I am going to have the time of my life with this one and my kids. You guys don't even know the hype in this house for this.

Re: R-Type Dimensions III Blasts Its Way Onto Switch Consoles Next May
I am a sucker for games that let me switch graphics like that, so I am in.
Re: Reminder: Virtual Boy For Switch And Switch 2 Are Available On The My Nintendo Store
VB emulators often let you change to black and white. They should do that with this service.

Re: Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Has Been Rated By PEGI
The most overrated game I have ever had the misfortune of playing.
Re: Metroid Prime 4 On Switch 1 Impresses Digital Foundry - "Nigh-Imperceptible Dips"
I don't think I will be getting a Switch 2. I've been priced out, and Nintendo has the kind of hubris right now that MS had running up to XBONE. I got this last game from them, and then I am building my Switch 1 physical collection. I have a ton of third party and indie physical on Switch, but am missing a few of the things I couldn't wait to play.
Also Prime 4 is gorgeous on Switch 1.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?
Everyone complaining that Prime 4 was influenced by BotW seems to have forgotten the structure of Ocarina...while simultaneously begging for a new game in the OoT format. Its literally Hyrule Field, surrounded by forest, lightning, lava, and ice temples!
Re: Community: It's Time To Rate Your Switch 1 & 2 Games Of The Year
Blood: Refreshed Supply should be on here, I am honestly not so sure though. Most of this last year has been on PS5 and Retroid 5.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (6th December)
Blood: Refreshed Supply and Prime 4.

With manuals, we might never get tutorial areas again! Shock horror!

@flighty he straight up lies in his review, though. And I am a subscriber. "Only two enemy types." Huh?

@Elektrogeist1287 there exists a sequel.
Re: Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! Brings A "New Retro FPS" To Switch 2 Next Year
@Elektrogeist1287 no love for Show Girls?!? Lol.
I love Verhoeven's earlier stuff as well.
Re: Round Up: Every Switch And Switch 2 Announcement From The PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted 2025
Dungeons of Dusk looks so rad. Playing tf out of Blood rn. Been waiting on that longer than Prime 4!
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th December (North America)
@Smackosynthesis hyped. Dusk is a very special game to me.
Re: Switch Indie Title 'Crypt Of The NecroDancer' Receives A Switch 2 Fix
Wanted to enjoy but bump combat. Can't do it.

Boltgun got so much wrong. Couldn't even get exploding barrels right, lol.
