Re: Nintendo Fans Might Get The Entire Tomb Raider Survivor Trilogy Thanks To Their "Passionate Response"

Misima

Tomb Raider is like Sonic to me. I don't know why people like it but my theory is it's just nostalgia tied to a passionate fan boy anti-Nintendo sentiment.

While the original games were inventive, they were pretty bad games by themselves with lots of flaws in game design, and they didn't really evolve enough to stay relevant.

I know this is unpopular, and I don't really begrudge anyone loving the games. But I think they are objectively bad games.

Re: Opinion: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Caps Off A Great Year To Be A Superhero Fan

Superhero games are rarely any good. Outside of the Sony Spider-Man games which are mostly just iterations, and the Arkham games which are mostly Spider-Man games with slight differences, I can't think of any licensed games of Superheroes that are truly remarkable for decades. Those X-Men Legends action RPG games back in the GameCube era and some arcade beat em ups or fighters seem to be the only ones I can think of now with positive thoughts.im sure I'm forgetting some, but isn't that my point?

The IP owners likely are always getting in the way of creativity in order to protect the brand. I wish there's was a way to make food games staring the big names.

Re: Surprise! Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's Free Switch 2 Demo Is Now Live

I played the demo and I hated it. I don't like the action RPG aspects. I was playing the boss in the reactor and wondering why the damage wasn't matching my actions and I had to wait to get back the action points to use skills felt worse than the turn based original.

I felt simultaneously required to do more actions and felt as if my actions were weaker. I thought the options would allow me to turn it into the classic turn based game, but normal classic difficulty did not turn it into a turn based game.

I still needed to run around and flip back and forth instead of just choosing actions when the bae finished filling.

I hated this demo.

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime 4 Falls From The Top Ten

You don't grow the brand by putting a Jar Jar into your game so the reviews become mixed. The sales could still be the highest in series history, but they blew their chances to have huge numbers. The game I am sure is fine, but this early in the Switch 2 life it could have been a BotW moment for the series.

But instead people will always remember this game as that one with the annoying guy and the bike that was cool for a short while.

Re: Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Announced, But Will It Skip Switch 2?

Misima

@AStupidID That's not what Disney said. They said that canon is limited to the stuff they produced and the few things Lucas produced which did not include games or books, but just TV and movies.

Now they have recycled some ideas from non-canon sources... But who knows what they will include in their canon. Not that any of this matters because it only matters if you want to include it in your imagination because this is all fake anyway. I only consider a couple of things canon because Star Wars is somewhat of a poorly managed IP. I consider KOTOR more canon than the prequels.

But you're 100 on the difference between high and old Republic.

Re: Star Wars: Fate Of The Old Republic Announced, But Will It Skip Switch 2?

This is probably the most exciting game in a long time for me. It's funny though that I don't have any faith it will be anywhere near as good as the first 2 KOTOR games, partially because of the FOTOR name, and partially because of Disney. However it would be nice if this game could convince them to make each KOTOR game into a trilogy of movies.

Honestly no one knows what to do with the force outside of those two games and a couple of ideas that were crushed by toxic fans. The force hasn't been interesting very much in the last 50 years. Out of the force centric stories, KOTOR 1+2 were second only to Empire Strikes Back. Three movies about Reven, Malik and Basila would likely become the the best films in universe since Empire if they even got it 80% right to the vibe of the game.

Re: Feature: My NES Longing, My Son's Terrifying Switch 2 Obsession

Misima

People have gotten so spoiled. The NES was a garbage system that crashed all the time, had absurdly hard games that were expensive and poorly designed. It was what was available and it was great because it was there.

The Switch 2 is here and fine. Buy it or don't. I don't get it. It's still better than most systems we bought over the years.

I get so much crap for my comments on this site and then this article is terrible and it's not getting torn apart like it should.

Re: Netflix Enters Agreement To Buy Warner Bros. For $82 Billion, Includes Game Studios

Misima

@alexybubble Never think good will come from this. It never leads to good. Even if it did, what happens when the next Netflix CEO decides to use it for evil?

... And this Netflix CEO fired the director of programming that brought us Orange is the New Black, Bojack, Stranger Things, etc. and hired the director of alternative programming that mandated people are too stupid to follow plot so the characters need to say out loud the plot many times.

This is the worst outcome for WB, despite WB being run by the worst studio executive in decades.
