Glad people are still enjoying these games. I finished the dex(which I've never done before)and sold them afterwards. DLC didn't appeal to me. I'm hoping for another Arceus type game.
@Sonicka "The rest of the claims against his character and what really went on behind the scenes is what is presently up for debate. If you feel I am fence sitting on that aspect then I will plainly say that I don't think he did this purposefully and I think we need a lot more information."
So in his video chat with Karl. He claims to have discovered the money wasn't donated back in 2021. 2 years ago. It doesn't take 2 years to fix the problem. That's 2 years hoping people forget about it.
@Jeronan it's also a key reason why Pokemon Go exploded back in 2016. The generation growing up with Pokemon had the money to burn on nostalgia and cell phones.
MHW was my favorite. I'm fine with Nintendo getting the whackier more experimental versions of MH. I'm perfectly fine with the more realistic ones sticking to the other consoles. I tried getting into Rise, but felt off for some reason...
@Uncle_Franklin meh. Probably trolls. The game itself is a product of its time and my score was an 8. It would be a decent yet forgettable title if the Mario brand wasn't attached. If they had added more than just trio moves and QoL improvements I'd score it higher. I do enjoy the game as I've fond memories of it.
@Ryu_Niiyama power hungry tyrant would also include coveting the power peach has. Trying to woo her is one way, and when that inevitably fails, he resorts to kidnapping to potentially gain that power. He is the bad guy. Adding stalker behavior isn't much of a stretch. Creepy behavior? Sure, it reinforces the fact that he is, again, the bad guy. It's makes him a simple 2 dimensional character in a game that is not known for plot.
@PinderSchloss can't please everyone. Sound design is different. Is it grating? Probably to a small group especially if you're expecting the standard bearer sounds.Personally, I like the unique jump sound for each character. Gives it a more musical feel.
Miyamoto always holds sway, period. It's not just because of his accomplishments and reputation. It's also cultural. You greatly respect and revere your elders in Japanese culture. They have a wisdom that is highly valued and that is typically why you see many of them in executive positions at corporations or important positions in government. Is that always the case? No. However, they tend to portray this aspect in media like anime on a regular basis. So this notion that miyamoto has total control may only be surface level in that the developers hold onto his every word but miyamoto himself may only be trying to suggest things as opposed to demanding things. But hey, that's just one man's opinion.
As a man born in the states to el Salvadoran immigrants, we grew up with gaming. first with the NES and then with other consoles. It is true that we are under represented. Blue beetle, miles morales, and others are few and far between and I truly appreciate when they come around. Visiting my parents homeland, the local kids and teens play games in internet cafés or watch streams of games. Even my own kids marvel at the idea of seeing someone like them in games and other media and they are mixed heritage now. They saw Miguel O hara, Latin-Irish and they thought it was neat because they are irish-salvadoran. I like the push for more representation in a very homogeneous industry.
Not to rain on anyone's parade but this reminds me of the OTHER prominent developers that struck out on their own and didn't make a big splash. Cliff bleszinski of gears of war fame, keiji inafune of megaman fame, and Tomonobu Itagaki of ninja Gaiden fame.
A nice surprise indeed. I'm playing on ps5. I had to buy the frontier pass to get the leader pass for free since I already owned Some of the dlc and not all of it. Plus, frontier pass was on sale for $15 bucks. So I got the remainder of the dlc and leader pass. Nice little perk.
I'll say this until I'm blue in the face: captain falcon is a bounty hunter as well, why not try a different genre with his bounty hunting skills as the main focus. Whether that's an FPS, an RTS, an RPG, I don't care. A spin off is better than simply saying that racing is all f zero is meant to be and that mariokart has that niche filled.
@zgillet I see. Well, I gave up cod/battlefield years ago when they started with that Mtx practice. Funny enough, I still own a copy of battlefield bad company 2 for pc for nostalgia purposes.
You played one military themed fps You've played them all. Not a big loss to me. However, those who want cod on the go, I wish you all luck in getting what you want.
Why illumination? Because $1 billion that's why. Hate on them all you want but they have other properties that did well at the box office. They have a proven track record even if we disagree. Nintendo may already have a specific style they want for LoZ that illumination already covers. They could go the wind waker or Awakening route given those art styles are very kid friendly. We're not the target audience folks. My(your) kids are.
Maybe they should start remaking some of the first ones. If not, make a trilogy remaster. You know, like metroid prime 1-3 on wii . Farming simulator 1 replanted. I'm sure the farming Sim base would be happier than old mcdonald.
@Ganner it's what happens when corporate greed infiltrates development studios and/or their leadership end up being conmen in disguise like the head of gearbox.
This would be the 3rd switch I own if I choose to buy it. First OLED for me. I rarely play handheld so the wife would enjoy this most if we move forward with a purchase.
I had to settle for Samus returns. I wanted codename s.t.e.a.m but you can't find it on the eshop now. Searched, and only found the update file.even the demo is gone. I have it on my wishlist but gives me an error when I try to get to the software page.
Believe it or not, here in the states on the east coast, the 3ds shop is already down for maintenance. I missed my chance to buy it, so that's on me.... cest la vie
I am here to represent the forgotten Contra Game.... Contra Force. It may have been another game at first, but still gave me that contra feeling. It was also on the NES.
In Dragon quest 3 when in alefgard, if you play the boardgame in the well, land on a spot that gives you 10k experience while your close enough to leveling up, it will not trigger the level up event. Leave the board, go to the overworld and fight any creature, you have a small (almost random)chance of leveling up all the way to lvl99.
Edit: this was the Gameboy Color version aka Dragon Warrior 3
@quinnyboy58 I don't think there is any criticism going around, at least, not in this comment section from what i can tell. It is insightful reading about this particular developer.
