Always loved his no ducks given attitude! You can easily tell what games he had full control over and ones he didn't, clearly it's been a long ass time since he had it. The most recent Platinum games were incredibly disappointing.
I immediately turned them off. But, then I turned them on French and found it to be quite comical. I like them as French. It's just stupid enough to work in a Mario game.
@canaryfarmer French for whatever reason sounds incredibly fitting.
I wonder how much money the devs actually bring in from these games? I'm almost tempted to throw something together on the cheap and see how well it does.
I would have voted for the Double Dash track just because I have the most fond memories of that game, but I went with the brand new bathroom track just because it's new and also looks good.
That's a real shame. TOTK is a vastly superior experience. The story in Diablo 4 is the most boring thing I've had the misfortune of suffering through in a very long time. Due to the level scaling getting to 50 felt like I was getting weaker the more I leveled up. I feel already bored of the game and will be going back to play more TOTK.
I find these "modern" dungeons very boring and annoying. TOTK did improve them, but barely. The water and fire temples on TOTK were incredibly frustrating control wise. They have an EXTREME lack of enemies and what they do have are the same old boring robots over and over. Anyone remember mini-bosses? Couldn't they just take some out of the open world and put them in a dungeon instead? Also having a spot marked on the map and you just have to figure out how to get there is kinda lame. The vast majority of the fire temple ones I just climbed the walls or used ascend. It wasn't very satisfying to me.
After 50 hours I can't give it a 10, a 9 seems far more fair. It's better than BOTW in every way, but the dungeons are just divine beasts 2.0. It does feel closer to a true Zelda game, but still not quite there yet. Oh right, and some shrines are outright awful. Still, I'm sure it will be my 2023 GOTY.

Ouch Nintendo... Very ouch. I was holding out hope for the GX remaster till the last second.
Re: GameCube Classic Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Is Heading To Switch
I am quite happy with this being the last announcement. Still surprised we got no mention of Metroid Prime 2 or 3 remasters.

Her terrible acting fits MK pretty well I think.

The demo was fairly mediocre.
Re: Best Mech Games On Nintendo Switch
@FenIsMightier That is some truly awful taste you have there. Even the worst AC game puts Daemon X Machina to shame.

Like others, I'm not a fan of the artstyle... but the platforming does look fun.
Re: Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged Puts Family First With Fast & Furious Collab
Huh, I've never seen DLC before that made me want the game less.
Re: Dark Magics Are Afoot As Trine 5 Gets A Switch Release Date
I liked Trine 2, but feel like there's no reason to ever play any of the others.

@munstahunta I voted for Star Fox, but Chorvs was awful so I hope it's nothing like that.

Just found out that FF16 isn't even an RPG, why is the game even called Final Fantasy again?

Re: Random: It Turns Out That Bowser Is A Fair Bit Older Than Mario, After All
So seeing how he is a turtle dragon how many years does his species live for? I'm guessing at least a few hundred years.
Re: Soapbox: Returning To The Great Plateau In Zelda: TOTK Felt Like Coming Home
Totally forgot to visit it, I didn't care for BOTW much so I'm not worried about going back.
Re: Soapbox: Modern Zelda Dungeons Are, In Fact, Divine
I find these "modern" dungeons very boring and annoying. TOTK did improve them, but barely. The water and fire temples on TOTK were incredibly frustrating control wise. They have an EXTREME lack of enemies and what they do have are the same old boring robots over and over. Anyone remember mini-bosses?
