@Total_Weirdo Gotta love gear shifts like that.

Beat BotW for the fourth time. Been thinking about playing SMRPG or TTYD. Which means I’ll probably start Okami again. May hit the local music shop as well.

I think it looks great. Still have the original, but I’ll likely pick this up as well.

Of course, one could wait for the inevitable PC version at a skillion fps.

@AfroMario You get a like from me for that avatar.

Fourth playthrough of BotW. I’m at the final battle, unless I decide to noodle around some more, before or after. Likely both. We’ve been all over that map countless times and I still enjoy just wandering.

I also bought Instruments of Destruction on Steam. Make vehicles and destroy things. No plot. Right up my alley.

@Serpenterror Good lord.

One, not being able to use the thumbsticks without correction or compensation on any game that requires the use of thumbsticks is not minor. Two, it affects every game that requires directional input. Three, when you buy a piece of electronic equipment, you shouldn't be expected to correct a manufacturing defect by spending more money on another company's solution. Four, what the H is this? Every person who has joycon drift has careless kids that break them, or are themselves irresponsible? Preposterous, arrogant statement all around.

Geez, it's like reading PureXbox comments during the ABK buyout drama.

@Ryu_Niiyama Finally the relevant question.

I may just nab the heck outta this bad boy.

Completely agree. If you have to talk (or shout) about something, you ain’t got it. When everyone does it, it becomes meaningless. Lazy marketing, ad infinitum.

Plus it’s a fun article underpinned by truth. Exclamation points should be used very sparingly. When I see them, my default reaction is that the writer is compensating, as described herein.

That said, I want more ?s.

@GregamanX I tried that with Immortals and it didn’t work. Must have missed something. I’ll give it another go. Thanks for the voyeuristic point (me being the voyeur, that is).

@-wc- Third that sentiment. I have a few Ubi games and was unaware that they now require an account to play. Rather than trash them, I made a dummy with an e-mail that I never use, but I won’t buy another Ubi game again, new or used. Of course it doesn’t help that their management is a bunch of scumbags.

This business of companies acting as if they’re entitled to our personal information and money needs to stop.

Sands of Time, by the way.

Japan’s is far less interesting and far more by the books. Even with the line that trips over itself, NA/E easily. Which means it will get crushed. Although I do like Japan’s font.

I appreciate these articles. Thanks for all the work.

I love this stuff. Very fun

I’m finding Forager pretty addicting. A little surprised, but apparently my brain likes to get into a slightly mindless groove once in a while.

I was going to go with Kaepora Gaebora because of one of my favorite game quotes, “Hoot hoot hootie ho,” though “Hoot indeed” is giving it a run. Went with Lechku & Nechku, however, because they’re refreshingly creepy.

Shareholder payouts. This is the only reason. More money for those who have most of it already.

If they sharpened the controls, I’d be all over a DK64 release. Not gonna happen, but it would be cool.

Love the Jurassic Park reference. Certainly answers the question.

@roy130390 That’s always bugged the cr@p out of me. I get the human nature thing about identifying with a group and all that reptilian brain stuff, but corporations? Really?

Better grab me a copy.

I’ll undoubtedly get this again. Had a little trouble with the spacial platforming sections, but meh. Is this s*** Switch and Steam only? If it performs well on Switch, I imagine that will be my choice, as physical.

“Switch 2” is as easily a placeholder name on an assumed console as anything. Sure, N is going to release a new console, but this story means nothing as far as confirmation. Doesn’t invalidate it either, of course.

Well, he is giving good advice.

The great fairy Tera.

Lots of love for WW Ganondorf, me included. Easily the most interesting version.

@larryisaman Well, there goes five bucks.

Three. And I got the last two right.

Five bucks says this is the worst honest score.

“My work with PlatinumGames was based on a relationship of trust with the company… Without that element of trust, I couldn’t continue working there.” Welcome to the world, son. Good luck.

So I can expect to see ads tailored to the 50+ crowd now? I hope not - I don’t much care for us.

I wouldn’t criticize anyone who’s happy with Asylum and City, but it’s pretty crappy that you’re being charged for three games and getting two. That’s serious bush league stuff.

Echo the general sentiment, good. Love the games, but for me, the changes in style and setting are one of the things that keep me invested and replaying different titles. I wouldn’t mind a different Big Bad, either.

Man , I’m baffled by at least half of gaming site headlines. There’s nothing wrong with them, they’re just weird. And I’m old, I guess.

1:17 - A true Godzilla fan on display. Excellent.

I keep thinking about grabbing Xenoblade 3, but I don’t know if I could handle the incessant battle chatter.

@Arkay Good call on the fishing hole.

How about the natural alley from Kokiri Forest to the Deku Tree? Granted, it’s transitional, but it just works.

@Classic603 Love me some TP as well. And yeah, that's a long one. Sometimes I don't mind, and sometimes, Geez already.

Best game ever made. And I’d agree with this article. Like referees, the best are the ones who don’t draw attention to themselves. A lot of tutorials scream “Tutorial.” OoT didn’t do that.

Europe’s has sense of foreboding and impending massacre. Europe it is.

Nope. I will continue to ignore such manipulative, soulless mining of human beings. And they will continue to make gajillions screwing their customers.

Wow. Reading the comments - I thought I was cynical. Give it a rest already.

Very cool. And that’s a good look for him.

Master Kohga and cannons received zero votes? What’s wrong with the world?

@Doctor-Moo Oh, baby!

@TheBigK Right on board with that. I never get a rush from beating a boss on the umpteenth try. It just seriously cheeses me off. Others live for it, great. For my taste, life presents enough challenges as it is. Though I do appreciate the option for more stuff if you feel like going there.

I have a Gamecube copy, but I’m likely to get the Switch version. The new graphics look great, but I prefer the lettering and word balloons of the original - feels a little more in line with the general feel and style. Nitpicks, of course. Looking forward to Luigi’s mansion as well.

Luigi’s Mansion and Wario World for the Gamecube. I got a cruddier used copy of LM, but just saw WW going for 300 smacks.

@russell-marlow One does not review a game based on what it isn't.

Bundles of firewood. Forget it. I want to walk up to them and have them disappear into my shorts while a brief jingle plays repeatedly.

Where the heck is his neck?
