Re: Talking Point: When Was The Last Time A Game Cracked Your Top Five?

MajinSoul

Last year actually with the amazing Hades . My top 5 is:
Bloodborne
Final Fantasy X
Dark Souls
Hades
The Witcher 3

It's kind of funny, whenever I think of my favourite games of all time Nintendo games never come to my mind even though I'm a huge fan of their games. I think they are just lacking that special something that pushes them towards GOAT material. Metroid Prime and Super Metroid are the closest so far for me.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles

MajinSoul

All the big first party SNES and NES games are already available and the majority of worthwhile SNES games from 3rd parties have their own collection/games (Mega Man, Castlevania, etc.) so I'm not sure why anyone would expect any big additions at this point. I'd say we've reached a point at which adding another console's library (GBC, GBA, etc.) is the only way to give us some exciting games on NSO again.

Re: The Zelda & Loftwing Skyward Sword amiibo Will Cost More Than Regular Figures

MajinSoul

Once again a very questionable inclusion of amiibo features. The feature unlocked via the amiibo should have been in the remaster to begin with. Amiibos should be mainly for collecting purposes and at best unlock some ingame collectibles that you can easily get by playing the game aswell (see FE Three Houses as an example for good amiibo functionalities)

Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now

MajinSoul

It's okay I guess but you wouldn't know it had anything to do with Pokemon if you didn't watch the video. I much prefer the Post Malone concert we got earlier this year. It actually had some Pokemon music weaved into some of the songs (like Only Wann Be With You). That one also introduced me to PM and I'm a huge fan now.

Re: Round Up: The New Pokémon Snap Reviews Are In

MajinSoul

So I never played the first one but I recently decided to clean out my screenshot folder and was surprised to see that I took over 400 screenshots of Pokemon Sword. Clearly there is something about taking pictures of Pokemon that appeals to me. Seeing all those positive reviews, I'll definitely get this one

Re: Review: The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark - A Welcome Return To Twin Lakes

MajinSoul

The game is just as good as the first one imo. Though there were some item uses that were somewhat annoying to figure out/apply. Thankfully those moments were not too often. I'd say it's a game worth playing if you're into point and click games with lots of humour. You should definitely play the first one first though as there are lots of fun nods towards that game in the sequel

Re: Soapbox: 'I'll Play It On Game Pass' Is Becoming Common, But Does That Affect Switch eShop?

MajinSoul

I tend to subscribe to the GamePass on PC every now and then since you can cancel it on a monthly basis which is very nice. The value of the GamePass is undeniable and if I were playing exclusively on PC or Xbox I'd probably never unsubscribe from it. I do however prefer gaming on my Switch over my other devices so I tend to buy games on it even if I could play them cheaper via the GamePass on PC. GamePass coming to the Switch would of course be a dream come true

Re: Anniversary: The Animal Crossing Series Is Now 20 Years Old

MajinSoul

The first one I played was Wild World but I lost interest pretty quickly. Then I played New Leaf and once again lost interest rather quickly. I'm still playing New Horizons a year after launch. Imo terraforming is the one thing the series was lacking for me previously. It's a gamechanger.

Re: Review: Cozy Grove - A Great-Looking But Flawed Animal Crossing-Alike, With Ghosts

MajinSoul

After having played a bit over an hour, I have to say this review aligns with my impressions. The game changes from super cozy moments to very irritating moments all the time. One moment you are in awe with the environments, music and characters the next moment you are faced with hard to navigate environments, items that blend into the background and technical issues like stuttering, framerate drops and harsh object pop-ins. The amount of stuff you can do on a daily basis is incredibly limited, even moreso than in the Animal Crossing games. For the price it's alright, I guess.

Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched Ten Years Ago Today In Europe

MajinSoul

I still have my ambassador unit. On the hand I really liked the 3DS because of the dual screen (which I already liked on the DS), the neat albeit mostly ignored 3D effect and the wide variety of software it featured.
On the other hand the hardware felt outdated pretty fast and the lack of proper analog sticks really hurt the experience for fast games like Monster Hunter, especially if you compare it to something like the Vita which imo has one of the best designs when it comes to a handheld.

Re: Talking Point: One Year On, What's Still Missing From Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

MajinSoul

Crafting in batches is heavily needed and should have been in the game from day one. Crafting something like fish bait is one of the most tedious things I have ever experienced. But that's just one of the many quality of life features that should have been patched in months ago like being able to eat multiple fruits at once, highlight the spot your tool is targeting, etc.

Apart from that, maybe give fishes/bugs random sizes so we can hunt for smallest/biggest creatures, something like the gold crowns in Monster Hunter. It would definitely add a new goal in the game for me and would give me a reason to fish and collect bugs after I donated them to the museum.

Re: Soapbox: I Somehow Bought Over $800 Of Animal Crossing Crap In One Year

MajinSoul

See, those cards are my one major gripe with AC New Horizons because it feels like the developers made the process of getting new villagers/rid of villagers you don't like extra tedious and annoying in order to make you buy those cards to get the villagers you actually want. It almost gives the game some Freemium vibe aka "wait 2 months for a chance to get your villager or spent 5 bucks to get it immediately". Anyway, enough ranting from me, that dress in the picture looks pretty cute.
