@rjejr Really. I'm trying to save you. Seriously, take your pick of rating sites, Metacritic, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, doesn't matter. The Borderlands movie has worse review scores than the Monster Hunter movie. It's not just me.
Shadow is legit one of my least liked characters in all of fiction. Casting Keanu Reeves is the only way I didn't find the character abhorrently cringey in the movie, because that was the only way they were able to make the manufactured edginess of the character come across as somewhat self-aware and humorous.
@Arawn93 Did I say Persona wasn't guilty, too? We weren't talking about it. Square and Nintendo are far from the only guilty ones, and Atlus doing it doesn't absolve Square. They both suck, but they also get away with it because, as the old saying goes, 'A fool and his money are soon parted.' I'm not a fool. Plenty of gamers are.
@Shade_Koopa Yes, $60 IS standard. But not for a game with a story already written and an engine already built. Over half the work was already done. No remake is worth $60. Link's Awakening on Switch wasn't worth it either.
That last con is at least half the reason the GameCube controller is the most overrated controller ever made. GameCube game play fine with a standard button layout. Games not built for the GameCube controller suck with it.
Sega says it wants Sonic to surpass Mario, but things like this make it clear they have no fundamental idea why Mario is more popular. They're clearly only interested in courting teenage edgelords.

Re: Nintendo Asks Wii U Owners To Refrain From Using "Unauthorised" Online Services
@Groovz Close enough. He said he never used online play, so he didn't care when it was shut off.
Re: Nintendo Asks Wii U Owners To Refrain From Using "Unauthorised" Online Services
@Anti-Matter Then why even chime in?
Re: Nintendo Breaks Silence On 'Switch 2' Image And Video Leaks
Within 2 1/2 months.
Re: So, Have You Pre-Ordered Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
I don't pre-order new games, let alone games I played over a decade ago.
Re: Yes, We're Getting A Brand New Guitar Hero Controller For Wii In 2025
I felt my soul try to leave my body when you called a guitar peripheral a retro controller.
Re: Sonic's Live-Action Movies Have Apparently Surpassed $1 Billion At The Box Office
@WaffleRaptor01 Maybe if Sega didn't make surpassing Mario Sonic's goal, there wouldn't be so many comparisons.

Re: Sonic's Live-Action Movies Have Apparently Surpassed $1 Billion At The Box Office
3 movies. Still behind the single animated Mario movie in total gross.

Re: Sonic's Third Movie Outing Could Be Getting A Speedy Digital Release
@rjejr Borderlands is worse.
Re: Stardew Valley Has Now Sold More Copies Than Mario Kart Wii
@JackieCMarlow It’s an acquired taste.
Re: Nintendo Now Officially Owns 100% Of Monolith Soft
@pwilliams Xenogears is owned by Square Enix. There was never going to be a remake.
Re: New Shenmue III Publisher Asks If You Want To See The Game On Switch
@nhSnork And guess what? I tried Xenoblade Chronicles. Didn't like it's battle system whatsoever, quit playing inside 10 hours.
Re: New Shenmue III Publisher Asks If You Want To See The Game On Switch
I hate Shenmue. It's singlehandedly responsible for the gaming cancer that is QTEs.
Re: Switch Is Getting A New Star Trek Game For Christmas
@macaron35 Star Trek Voyager: Elite Forces was a surprisingly decent FPS from 24 years ago.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Donkey Kong Country Returns HD For Switch?
$60 for a 10+ year old game. Yeah, no.
Re: New Minecraft Movie Trailer Digs Into Steve's Backstory
This movie is gonna be ass.
Re: Save On Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters In Square Enix's Switch eShop Sale (North America)
Still waiting.
Re: Kojima Productions Reportedly Gains Full Control Of Death Stranding IP
Trade it to Konami for MGS.
Re: New Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Update Leaves The Switch Behind
Just wait for the Switch 2 port.
Re: Prime Video May Have Found Its Lara Croft In Game Of Thrones Star Sophie Turner
@HandheldHaunter Fallout is easily one of the best video game adaptations ever made. On Amazon Prime.
Re: Prime Video May Have Found Its Lara Croft In Game Of Thrones Star Sophie Turner
She's actually English, unlike Angelina Jolie or Alicia Vikander, nothing against either of them.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
@Shade_Koopa No, it is not seen as a new game. It's just apologists like you that let them get away with it.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
Pass. 30 year old game not worth it's price.
Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door On Switch Has Already Outsold The GameCube Original
I mean, Metroid Prime Remastered did it too, right? It's the nature of a popular system compared to a niche system.
Re: Feature: The History Of SaGa, Square's Weirdest, Bravest RPG Series
Romancing the Stone came out in 1984, not 1986.
Re: Review: NYXI Warrior Bluetooth Controller - A Great GameCube Pad For Switch, With The One Big Quirk
That last con is at least half the reason the GameCube controller is the most overrated controller ever made. GameCube game play fine with a standard button layout. Games not built for the GameCube controller suck with it.
Re: Best Sonic Games Of All Time
Top 3 all from 30 years ago. #4 a faithful homage to those first 3.
The definition of coasting.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Might Be Gearing Up For A GameCube Controller Comeback
The people calling the Gamecube controller the best ever made:
Your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.
What a garbage controller design.
Re: Review In Progress: Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo - Pricey But Delightful, And Something Only Nintendo Could Pull Off
I can make my phone wake me up with any alarm noise I choose. The rest is just window dressing. $100 is ******* absurd.
Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
@progx Completely ignoring the fact that this is not a new game.
Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
@Ruler-Of-All-Evil If they were building the entire game from the ground up, sure. They already have the blueprint, and the engine.
This should be $30, maximum.
Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
$60 for a remake of a 34 year old game. I will put my head in a vise before I overpay that much.
Re: Aspyr Is Remastering Yet Another Star Wars Game For Switch
@EVIL-C 100% this.
Re: Christmas Comes Early In This Blatant Super Mario Bros. 3 Clone
The people here who think Nintendo could go after this developer, even 25 years ago, have no bleeding clue how copyrights and trademarks work.
Re: Random: Zelda: Wind Waker Mod Replaces Link With A Honking Goose
The goose is Ganon's minion.
Re: Upgrade Your GameCube Controller With This New Wireless And Driftless Kit From 8BitDo
Most overrated controller ever made.

Re: Talking Point: What Game Should Be 'Switch 2's 'Skyrim Moment'?
@Yousef- You mean Elder Scrolls VI?
Re: Looney Tunes: Wacky World Of Sports Launches On Switch This Month
@TenEighty I just wish there was a descent American Football game on the Switch.
Re: Rumour: Switch "Successor" Will Be Backwards Compatible, It's Claimed
Whatever it's called, it won't be Switch 2. Maybe the Nintendo Swap.
Re: Official Pokémon Micro SD Cards Are Here, Including Huge 1TB Snorlax Card
Branded SD cards are just pointless. You can get a 1TB SD card on Amazon $55 cheaper. Just for a Snorlax picture you're never going to look at.
Re: New Sonic X Shadow Generations Trailer Showcases Shadow's Doom Powers
Sega says it wants Sonic to surpass Mario, but things like this make it clear they have no fundamental idea why Mario is more popular. They're clearly only interested in courting teenage edgelords.
Re: Sonic X Shadow Generations Gets A Limited Edition With A Gorgeous Dreamcast Statue
I don't need more plastic, thanks.
Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
@Samalik I didn't say I wanted a sequel to Mania. I was just responding to a comment. Buzz off. I feel like you're stalking me.
Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
@Samalik Superstars is not a sequel to Mania.
Re: Sonic Mania Team Celebrates 7th Anniversary With Trivia, Art And Unreleased Tracks
@Pigeon Don't hold your breath. Sega was jealous of the reception it got while Forces failed to garner interest.
