Man, I tried with that first game. The breathless "uh, you know uh, I think those, uh, those guys? I uhhhhhh think those are uh, huh huh, the baddies..." dialog KILLED me.
I had fun with my friends when MW seventh gen came out. After it blew up, it all just got too toxic for me. I tried BLOPS 2 when I got my WiiU, because so many people told me it had a great campaign and MP. It was...not for me. Walk forward, shoot everyone standing in a line. Walk forward. Cutscene. Walk forward. Cutscene. Shoot people standing in a row, at center screen. Walk forward. Cutscene. Nope.
@Duncanballs for me, part of why I love the first Switch is real physical media. I like collecting that way. I think all this stuff (including having to install games) is awful. I just had to accept that I won't own a Switch 2 any time soon and will instead focus on the backlog/collecting.
@Randomarcadedude thats the point. They are obviously trying to groom people for all digital future. See also the animation that plays when you install a digital purchase now.
@Justdave Actually THIS is the future. No this. No this. Anyway, while I agree that almost everything sucks more now, doesnt mean I have to accept when things get worse.
As the guy who has complained about MCU writing since 2013, I guess I have just gotten used to it being everywhere I look. I expect poor writing from video games, also. I would have preferred an isolated adventure, for sure.
I didnt even know what genre this game was. Seems nearly every shot I have seen of it is a cutscene. With the weab title, I figured it was a dating thing or visual novel.
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.

Looks like a fake game you would see on SVU or something.

Re: Turok 2 Gets Another Update On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Phelaidar woof. That's an opinion!
Re: Turok 2 Gets Another Update On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
@Phelaidar Turok 3 is just a bad game. It was released when everyone was trying to make Half-life again. It fails on most every level.
Re: Turok 2 Gets Another Update On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes
My youngest adores the first two Turoks, and so do I. We play with cheats and wreck shop. Its a blast.
Re: Poll: The Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Demo Is Now Available, What Are Your First Impressions?
@Duncanballs yeah I haven't been annoyed by it, probably cause of my own bias. Im fine with that. I like me.

Re: ICYMI: My Nintendo Adds Printable Metroid Prime 4 Box Art Cover, Databook Now Also Available In English
I love the game. I get the complaints, but it is working for me. I will check out the booklet.
Re: Feature: Mothers & Daughters - Women Are The Heart Of Hollow Knight: Silksong
@foundlace yup. And people cried about that as well.

Re: Nintendo Suggests Metroid Prime 4's Tortured Development Meant It Was "Divorced From The Changing Of Times"
@poyo_pie I was being a silly goose about no one saying that, because my original comment was updooted so much.
Re: ICYMI: Stardew Valley - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Is Now Available, Will You Be Getting It?
Its a great game that is 100 percent not for me. Love the art, love the idea, hate how it feels.
Re: Atlus Looks Forward To Persona's 30th Anniversary In 2026, Acknowledges Support For Persona 4 Revival

Re: Nintendo Suggests Metroid Prime 4's Tortured Development Meant It Was "Divorced From The Changing Of Times"
@poyo_pie yeah you right. Probably why Im the only person that feels that way...

Sorrynotsorry
Re: Opinion: My Daughter Made Me Realise That Mario Wonder's Difficulty Options Need Work
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.
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.
Re: Review: System Shock (Switch 2) - Performance Woes Tarnish A Classic
@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.
