@MARl0 not only preferable, but they could do something iconic like Simlish or the BK babbling you mentioned. Pokémon doesn't feel like a world. It feels like a commercial.
@molkom sure thing! I am older and have low tolerance for things like stats anymore, so that may have something to do with it. Still think it is my fave in the series so far, but I only really like Syndicate and Origins anyway so shrug
@molkom For example, I got the game because it was $40 on PS5. I know my reasoning is silly to most, but I got it when they added the ability to wait until night. I am made of snakes that hate the sun... Anyway! I am around 16 hours in, and still haven't been able to upgrade the part of my hideout that I need to in order to wait until night. I am not a fan of colored, tiered loot either. I'd rather just get a few cool weapons and strengthen them with relics or training or new moves or whatever. I am still having a great time. I just am not sure I will make it all the way through.
@SillyG I spend a lot of time with sixth generation. I know everyone is going to think I am being a big meanie, but Steambot Chronicles on PS2 looks better than this. I dont get it.
FYI for Ion Fury, you can unlock the framerate w the Konami code.
I thought the pacing was too broken up by the tiny enemies all over the screen, but its worth the annoyance, mostly. Just frustrating.
@benmalsky198 Dude, you asked. I don't like them, and I even told you to ignore me. You've done the opposite, and are being extremely annoying on here. So, please stop. I don't like modern Sonic. Agree or disagree. But please leave me alone.
@benmalsky198 I don't like the furry-esque designs, their voices, their anime story arcs, etc etc etc. The music in the modern games is also just not for me. Especially when compared to Sonic 1-Sonic CD.
The prices are ridiculous, and I am the outlier that thinks they're bad games. The gravity/planetoid gimmick is interesting enough for like Sonic bonus levels, but not enough to justify the awful camera and controls. All of this is compounded by the Switch port being nonfunctional. They sacrificed the controls to the point of ruining the games, for waggle. Then they port it with the waggle broken.
I know most people love them, and I have tried to enjoy them since they came out. It's the biggest example of a game I can think of that skates by on fandom.
@mikegamer oh, I wasn't defending Atlus. Persona 3 is actually where I left the series. I hate the music and playing as teens is rote. I also don't buy games that are released incomplete to screw people over.
I was just taking the chance to call you out for being a clown.
@mikegamer wait was this from an actual person making words at a keyboard? Sounds like an afk message from an incel redditor driving to the vape shop.
When Star Fox gets back, let her know to train Gemini better.
@Vyacheslav333 the game just doesn't function like it supposed to in handheld mode. The gyro as a pointer is not usable. So you are essentially playing with one hand and touching the screen to grab star bits. Its awful.
@Mommar oh, I disagree. They are better than ever, in my opinion.
You can be cynical about nostalgia all you want. I really enjoy fun references, usually. It is likely that the devs are referencing older titles in the genre (!!!) because they love those games and grew up with them? Maybe that's why they are making a beat em' up. We didn't get very many for a long time, also, so maybe its cathartic that they can finally make what they want and get it in front of people?
Marvel fans are just the mainstream now, so Im not sure who you are referring to. Who are the real Marvel fans when its mostly homogeneous, processed cheese with McDonald's toys and themed drinks at Starbucks or whatever? I'm reading Midnight Suns, am I allowed to say the designs are okay by me? Or do I need to watch all of the MCU movies that are exactly the same, over and over?
It doesn't sound like you love the genre (!!!) all that much anymore. It sounds like you are burned out on it.
At least someone out there acknowledged the camera problems. I would add that the games simply can not be played how they are intended to be played in handheld mode. The gyro aiming just doesn't work correctly. You can touch the screen to grab the star bits, which is awkward and I don't like touching the screen for anything. The imagination on display is at the 9/10 level, the games themselves are 8/10, and on Switch I'd struggle to give them a 7. Its a lazy port of games that need work in the first place.
@vio they announced that Blood is coming to consoles (including Deathwish) and I lost it. They've turned my Switch into the best console for classic fps. Love it.

Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Stellar Battles, But A Step Down From Arceus
A score that reflects the written review for a Pokémon game is tantamount to outright revolution. No Nidokings.
...sorry.

@Jhena its AWESOME! Huge learning curve on controls, like Virtual On or Gun Valkyrie. But once it clicks it feels great and like nothing else.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2?
Even besides my disdain for these two games (camera bad, waggle bad, yes I know everyone disagrees), they don't function correctly in handheld.

@benmalsky198 Lol. Im just a grumpy old jerk, don't worry about it. I'd just rather have the SEGA Smash Bros approach from Transformed.
Re: Opinion: Sonic Racing Crossworlds > Mario Kart World, And It's Not Even Close For Me
Transformed is my answer. Sonic characters are just terrible.
