Just a quick question: How can I post a minor spoiler here? Sometimes I see a post, where some words/sentences have a block bar on them and you have to click on it, to see the text.
@Losermagnet Where those sweets all from the same brand? I would think, if you make a sponsorship deal with a brand, you couldn't make another deal with a similar brand. π€ Or am I wrong?
I don't care for any reviews, doesn't matter if "professional" or whatever. If not sure to get a game, I read about it, watch some videos and then if my guts tell me this is a good game, I will buy it. And my guts never failed me (at least on this one).
Playing The Origami King since yesterday and got reminded how much I suck at EVERY kind of sliding puzzles. So this game is one of the most hardcore ones I've ever played. π
"(hard)core" and "casual" are such idiotic terms in gaming. π Let's say I play Tetris every day for hours to improve my skills and highscore and play Doom occasionally just for the kick. Am I a core player? A casual? And is Doom suddenly a casual game and Tetris a hardcore game?
@DocRompler But what if you enjoy other parts of the game like exploration and the story? Then you have to go through long and tedious battles just to progress your character(s) and continue the game.
@MS7000
I get what you're saying and I agree in some ways. But honestly, I hated battling in most RPGs I played, because they were either way to complicated, partly luck based, nice to look at but boring or way to long. But you had to do them.
The only RPGs where I really liked the battles and didn't see them as chore where the Paper Mario games, the Mario & Luigi games and Tales of Symphonia (and Hybrid Heaven was interesting to in it's own way).
So for me, I'm looking forward to the new battle system, because it looks like a good middleground of "doing nothing" and "doing to much". Also it seems like you have some control how to solve the battles.
But that's all just my opinion, of course.π
@71nk0 I buy Lego for the building experience and for the final product to look cool and interesting to me. I have absolutely no desire to play games on a Lego NES.
@kobashi100 Okay, but you said you won't play this because of no challenge, but you played the older ones, which also weren't challenging most of the time. π€·
I laughed. Also explain to me, why it's okay to show (sometimes extreme) violence in games, but as soon as someone having a "good time", everyone is going nuts?
Geist for Gamecube! Always wanted to play it back then, but it never happened. Also some unfinished/unreleased games like Winter or Sadness for the Wii.
@TG16_IS_BAE What I was trying to say is that misbehavior of a few people doesn't say anything about the Smash Bros. community. Of course, if there's some conspiracy going on and it turns out the Super Smash Bros. community was brought to life to create opportunities for illegal actions, then we have a case.
(And to be clear: I don't give a single f**** about the Smash Bros. community and their "pro gamers")
@SSJW Which is such a bullcrap. If I start a running club or something and one or two people in my club did something illegal, they are no longer welcome and that's it. No need to think about what those incidents say about my running club (because it has absolutely nothing to do with it) or the future of my club.
@TG16_IS_BAE Why do many (in this case the Smash Bros. community) have to suffer and take responsibility for the mistake of a few (i this case abusers)? Unless, of course, Smash Bros and/or the community as a whole would advocate or "fuel" such behavior.
@TG16_IS_BAE
But there must be some connections between those abusers and Smash Bros. specifically. I mean, that's all they seem to have in common.
Just give them a lifetime ban from tournaments or whatever and move on. The legal system is responsible for the rest.
I mean, the UK is a nation with A LOT of aoccer fans and under those tens of thousands and more soccer fans surely are people how abused someone or something else. Do those people say anything about the "soccer community" and its future? I hope not.
@BlackKnight93 I don't think it's just nowadays. Back in the day I played Tomb Raider on PSX and it had such crappy controls, that I had to quit playing after 10 minutes. Still this game has a 91 on metacritic.com. I don't get how. π€·ββοΈ

If anything, they should make the controls more like on the Wii. Dual analog controls for 1st person games suck.π
