As a side note, did anyone else accidentally get to this location way earlier than they were supposed to? I haven't even done the regional quests before I accidentally started Guidance From the Ages
Good article. Kind of off topic but ever since TOTK came out there's the same 5 or so commentators in these comments sections writing essays about why it's actually a bad game. Find something better to do guys
I hope they fix the texture issues. On my main save with 100, about 95% of the planets I land on have missing textures. I haven't seen a creature with it's proper texture in over 20 hours.
That picture of Pikachu on its back in the middle of the ring is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I love this. Imagine if we'd got a No Mercy style wrestling game with Nintendo characters?? Created wrestlers in Wrestling Empire is probably the closest we'll ever get
After a previous article discussing hard video game moments, I decided to give Viewtiful Joe another try after the boss rush ended my last playthrough more than a decade ago. Good news; I actually beat Fire Leo this time.
I've also been shiny hunting in Pokemon Legends because it's much more enjoyable than shiny hunting in other Pokemon games.
In 007 Nightfire, there's a special variant of the Kowloon pistol that's fully automatic. This gun can only be used by selecting the "Random" weapon set and restarting until it spawns. It appears nowhere else in the game.
Jinpachi in Tekken 5 is the only time I ever threw a controller. He's not actually that bad now that I'm a bit older and beat arcade mode with everyone about a million times (Tekken 5 is awesome) but that first attempt...oof.
@87th Fire Leo is absolutely insane. I've beaten a lot of hard games, I greatly enjoy difficulty, I have rare platinums on PSN ect ect.
I literally gave up on Fire Leo. It's the ONLY time in 20+ years of video gaming that I've straight up said "this actually seems impossible and I don't want to try anymore". It takes so much to push me to that point but that goddamn game did it.
Picked up No Man's Sky on my birthday weekend as it was at a slight discount. I played it for a week or so way back when it released in 2016, amazing how far it's come since then and even more amazing that it runs so goddamn well on Switch.
@HammerGalladeBro when you get down to the nitty-gritty, Melee is almost completely busted as a game. It's very stable, so it won't crash, but the amount of bizarre glitches and character oddities are truly off the charts. Despite that, or perhaps maybe a bit because of that, it's a fantastic game.
I log in occasionally, every month or so, when my wife needs me to build a bridge or whatever. I still plan on getting all the bugs at some point, and I actually like the DLC quite a lot, but it's not a daily thing at all anymore. My wife still plays it fairly regularly though.
Europe's is better art, NA represents the actual game better. Both are pretty terrible, which is a shame because TS2 is one of the best games of all time.

Re: Talking Point: Is Tears Of The Kingdom The Scariest Zelda Game Ever?
The horriblins bother me. Something about dark scuttling cave creatures...nope. Also the first time a Gibdo fell down and crawl-sprinted at me.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Ikaruga
Never heard of this game but I really like the European cover. The IGN quote on the NA box sure is... something. Frothing.

Re: Zelda: TOTK Is The Sixth Game Ever To Get Perfect Scores From Edge And Famitsu
TOTK deserves it from what I played so far, I think OoT also does, the other ones are not 10/10 games IMO.

No, but it's awesome that the cosmetics (sans glider fabrics) can be found in-game now.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@somnambulance I'd agree, and GTA 4 didn't leave a whole lot of impact of the gaming world since, but I felt like being pedantic lol
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@somnambulance IIRC GTA4 was the most critically praised game at launch. I think it got 10/10 from everyone everywhere

Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Quest In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
Gotta be Eventide Island. Best part of the whole game IMHO.
Re: Mario Movie Jack Black Song 'Peaches' Debuts On Billboard's Hot 100 Chart
I saw the movie last night. It was fine, but all the hype around this song is a bit odd since it's like 30 seconds long.

I was hoping for Vampire Survivors, can't believe it's not on Switch
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
I don't particularly like any of them but NA is okay. The zombies in the European cover look awful, surprised it's winning
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
@Uncle_Franklin which was the Australian/NZ winner?
Re: No Man's Sky: Interceptor Update Brings Corruption To The Galaxies' Planets
I hope they fix the texture issues. On my main save with 100, about 95% of the planets I land on have missing textures. I haven't seen a creature with it's proper texture in over 20 hours.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Apparently Has The Biggest File Size Of Any First-Party Switch Release
@UltimateOtaku91 XCOM was 22GB and I bought it for $5. Anyone saying the file size justifies the price increase is on something

Re: Remember That Inaccessible Hill In Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life? We Finally Know What's Up There
@Flying_Over_Trout whenever I see a GameCube for sale, it's about $30. The expensive part is the controllers and games.

Re: Modern Revival Of 'The Oregon Trail' Is Heading To The Switch Very Soon
If anyone wants a more zombie themed Oregon Trail on Switch, check out Death Road to Canada. It's a blast and way cheaper than this remake.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Timesplitters 2
As a side note, the back of the box (at least the NA one) is pretty terrible too. It shows a bunch of beta guns that aren't even in the game.
