When I was younger I was pretty good, not great. Now in my mid 30s I suck at everything and usually have so little patience and time I play everything on easy.
I don't get how with all the high tech game engines we have now we still can't get the faces of real people looking good in any way. Seriously every single game character that is based off of a real person (which is about 95% of them now) the game character looks far uglier than the actual person they are based on. What's the deal?
Huh I'm extremely surprised that SWTOR isn't on that list. Very sad that no Jedi Knight game is on it. And not surprised KOTOR isn't on it even though it deserves it.
After their Switch port of Republic Commando I don't have high hopes for this. But then again if this game runs at 15fps it won't be impossible to play like an FPS is...
I've played lots of MK Tour but I've never spent a dime on it. I will never understand why someone would want to spend so much money on simple things like new characters or cars that you can eventually unlock by just playing.
Quote from Gameskinny "With two islands to explore, neither as big as the base game's main realms, and nearly every quest tied to the central story, there's about 10 hours of content here."
They gave it an 8.
Pros Less familiar mythology means more surprises Remixes on familiar puzzles and enemies Streamlined intro Still clever and funny Good length
Cons: Similar story beats Some elements feel tacked on or glued together Narrative structure isn't as successful Seems like a better fit for a full-blown sequel than a DLC
But Ninja Gaiden 2 was just updated for Xbox One X to have 4K visuals with other little improvements. I guess they didn't need the source code for that?
The N64 is still one of my favorite consoles to this day. I just thought it blew PS1 away in the visuals department. It did have a lot less games on it, but man it was one sexy ass looking console. Heh, I remember teasing fanboys of the PS1 about load times and needlessly long cinematics. I eventually got a PS2 and played many of the big PS1 games I missed and learned it was stupid to pick sides when you can have both.
@Mr-Fuggles777 Because the Switch is for those that don't want to spend near $1000 to play games.
@NoTinderLife CRTs used to be the best for gaming. Until high refresh rate monitors were invented. CRTs are literally nothing more than dust collectors now.
No sir I don't like it. The artwork is much too busy. I couldn't even tell what it was until observing it for a good 10 seconds. To each his own though. I picked up the MH Rise Pro controller and can't wait to get it in.
My only complaints are the slow performance, which hopefully they fix, and even basic enemies are sponges. I tried using buttons instead of the right stick and my thumb got tired almost immediately.

@MH4 I would totally want to watch the world burn if they gave Samus a half shaved head douche-cut. I can't stand that gutter trash look.
Re: Review: Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection - Ryu Hayabusa Deserves Better Than This
What really annoys me is that due to the lazy port job no one will buy these and they will think no one wants a new Ninja Gaiden game...

Re: Nintendo Shares Juicy Mario Golf: Super Rush Details In Lengthy Overview Trailer
A lot of the characters look so great in their little outfits, I have no idea who I want to play as.
Re: Soapbox: Be Happy, This Is The True Golden Age Of Gaming
It's funny how everyone seems to have a different idea of what the "golden age" even means.
Re: Rumour: The Next Donkey Kong Is Being Developed By The Super Mario Odyssey Team
I would like to see a 3D Donkey Kong game. There are plenty enough of the 2D ones.
Re: Review: Subnautica + Subnautica Below Zero Double Pack - An Accomplished Double Dive
Nice to see this turned out so well for the Switch. Wasn't a fan of the game on PC, just never hooked me. It was a neat world and all though.
Re: Rumour: Get That Salt Ready, Apple Is Reportedly Working On A Nintendo Switch-Style Hybrid Console

@TheRenegade908 I like how you said the exact opposite thing that DDStuff said lol.
Re: 1080° Snowboarding Creator Announces Carve Snowboarding For Oculus VR
Been a long time since I put on my Rift S, and this game sure isn't tempting me. It has no soul or anything that made 1080 special.

Re: Celeste's Creators Are Working On A New "2D Explor-Action Game" With Secret Of Mana Vibes
Tried a bit of Celeste and it just wasn't for me. Curious to see what this new game will be like though.

That is what we call the color blue children.
Re: Star Wars: Republic Commando Dev Apparently Investigating Switch Frame Rate Issues
Really wish I wouldn't have bought this game so soon.
Re: Review: Star Wars: Republic Commando - Not An Elegant Weapon, But Still A Blast
This game has some bad performance in handheld.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo And The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Game Preservation
This is why I'm so glad we have people who design emulators. And now we even have portable devices that run many emulators. What a time to be alive!
Re: Demo For Stunning Fan-Made 2D Metroid Prime Game Released
Looks like if they made it for DS. I like it, Too bad it will get taken down by Nintendo.

Re: Hori's Launching New Mario And Zelda-Themed GameCube-Style Controllers For Switch

@CrazyMackenzie
Quote from Gameskinny "With two islands to explore, neither as big as the base game's main realms, and nearly every quest tied to the central story, there's about 10 hours of content here."
They gave it an 8.
Pros
Less familiar mythology means more surprises
Remixes on familiar puzzles and enemies
Streamlined intro
Still clever and funny
Good length
Cons:
Similar story beats
Some elements feel tacked on or glued together
Narrative structure isn't as successful
Seems like a better fit for a full-blown sequel than a DLC

The game really does have some amazing graphics for a Switch title.

Re: Soapbox: The Modern Games Industry Has A Hype Problem, And It Needs To Stop
This is only going to get worse with "AAAA" becoming a new thing. They have to milk advertising these games that cost hundreds of millions somehow...
Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually
I will pick up the Switch version. I never played much on the Wii, I just hated the motion controls.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?
I've always liked SMB on NES, but I loved SM World on SNES. So World wins easily for me.
