@LilMuku Well, no, you've probably only heard about one side of Genesis. Up 'till the Duke album they played epic and complex progressive rock with deep lyrics and complex themes. Albums like "Selling England By The Pound" and "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" are widely considered as some of the most intelligent and complex pieces in modern music. This is non-commercial music at it's finest - together with King Crimson, Marillion etc.
But yeah, you're right. That was exactly my point - you don't compare the two. They're completely different in almost every aspect - genre, harmony, composition, song structure, intent. Panic! At The Disco are good at what they're doing and kudos to them for that)
@LilMuku don’t get me wrong, man, and there’s no need to get personal. I’m not dissing Panic! At The Disco, in fact I listen to them quite often - especially when I want to listen to something poppy, straightforward and simple. But comparing them to Genesis (especially the early Genesis - with Hackett and Gabriel) is like comparing teenager’s DeviantArt drawings to Rembrandt (or Kramskoy for that matter).
Genesis - I Can't Dance... That's all cool and all, but do they have the guts to add their "Supper's Ready" epic? Or at least "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight"? Something like Let's Sing: Prog Edition? Also featuring songs by Marillion, King Crimson, Yes, Arena and so on. This would be the best Let's Sing game in existence!!!
Yeah, I'm kidding of course, unfortunately they would never do that: intelligent music doesn't bring in enough cash.
If this turns out to be true, I'll be the happiest man alive. Mostly all of my favourite games of all time have now graced the mighty Switch. Now I'll just have to hope for Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Serious Sam and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. But that's almost impossible.
It’s an international poster and we have the same one here in Russia, - except that it’s, you know, in Russian. So no politics here. Even if people always try to look for politics almost everywhere...
Recently I found out that I don’t have enough time for indie games since all my free gaming time is eaten up by large releases, but this once has definitely piqued my interest. Sci-fi and new-noir? Sign me up!
Made by Croteam - the guys behind The Serious Sam games. Which makes me wonder, what are the chances of the first two SS games landing on Switch? I would totally buy them.
It’s actually not that bad. A nice little diversion and some good tactical elements. But yeah, it’s not a perfect game - by far. Still, if it goes physical, I’ll lay my hands on it.
@sandman89 it’s not bad, trust me)) the only really bad thing right now is that there is no snow and it’s the middle of December. But I think we can pull through)
@FlyingFoxy Yeah, it's pretty obvious that every criticism is subjective. But that's what the comments section is for, isn't it?
But, aside from that, I can tell when the movie is awful even if I like it. I like the Mortal Kombat movie, but I can safely tell that's it's a bad movie: cliche story, abysmal acting, plot points that make no sense... But still... it's kinda cool.
I actually liked the game, even though I didn't play through the whole demo - just the first two missions (I didn't want to ruin the future experience). The graphics are awesome, the effects are satisfying, the music is energizing and the gameplay is great (there were some issues but I think they will be resolved by upgrades). I don't see why many people here can't find the enemies to fight since there is a nice radar at the top of the screen. Still, the game still needs some tweaks.
BTW, Heroes of Might And Magic III would be epic for Switch. It has already been ported to IOS, so I don't see a reason why they would ignore the Switch.
Funny thing is, I’ve never even heard about it till this Direct (And before Switch I was a hardcore PC gamer). So, it’s a pleasant surprise to say the least.

@LilMuku Yeah, right. Probably the funniest comment I've seen in a while.

Re: Random: No, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Isn't Coming To Microsoft's HoloLens
That’s a good port!
Re: QubicGames Is Giving Away 10 Free Nintendo Switch Games: Today's Game Is Space Pioneer
Mana Spark is actually quite good, worth sinking two hours of gameplay into it.
Re: QubicGames Is Giving Away 10 Free Nintendo Switch Games: Today's Game Is Space Pioneer
@Guru_Larry yeah, I got all 10 games for free, so you’re probably misunderstood the process.
Re: Random: Is Nintendo UK Getting Cheekily Political With This Animal Crossing Poster?
It’s an international poster and we have the same one here in Russia, - except that it’s, you know, in Russian. So no politics here. Even if people always try to look for politics almost everywhere...

Re: PAYDAY 2 On Switch "Very Unlikely" To Receive Any Of The New Updates
Oh, yeah. I remember wanting to get this game when I first bought my Switch back in 2018. I’m glad I didn’t.
Re: The Talos Principle Brings Narrative First-Person Puzzling To Switch Today
Made by Croteam - the guys behind The Serious Sam games. Which makes me wonder, what are the chances of the first two SS games landing on Switch? I would totally buy them.
Re: Warhammer 40,000: Space Wolf Brings Turn-Based Tactical Strategy To Switch Next Month
@Maelwolf Yeah, Space Hulk is much better!

It’s actually not that bad. A nice little diversion and some good tactical elements. But yeah, it’s not a perfect game - by far. Still, if it goes physical, I’ll lay my hands on it.
Re: Free GRID Autosport Updates Will Add Split-Screen And Online Multiplayer On Switch
Physical, please.

Re: Nintendo Russia Surprises Frozen 2 Movie Audience With Free Switch Bundles
Good call, since Nintendo is still considered to be a kids’ console here and the sales are better than last year but still leave much to be desired.

Re: Video: Oh Boy, Sonic's Movie Redesign Is Revealed In Brand New Trailer
@NoTinderLife I actually like The Silent Hill movie. It's not perfect by any chance but the atmosphere is haunting and the creature design is spot-on.
Re: Video: Oh Boy, Sonic's Movie Redesign Is Revealed In Brand New Trailer
This will still probably be an awful movie.
Re: Review: Garfield Kart Furious Racing - A Rancid, Regurgitated Hairball Of A Racer
Sorry, but that Garfield film with Bill Murray was pretty terrible.

Wow. People have some weird priorities nowadays.
Re: Sid Meier's Civilization VI Expansion Bundle Releases On Switch This November
This is awesome! It's one of these rare occasions when I'm ready to sink another 50 bucks into the game. All we need now is a hotseat add-on.
Re: Infliction Brings Nightmarish Psychological Horror To Switch This Year
Yes, please! I've just beaten Senua and both Outlasts, so I'm ready for some new horror on the go!
Re: Alien: Isolation Will Scare You Witless On Switch This Year

@AlohaPizzaJack of course they can. I have a three year European visa and I got it in four days.

Dungeons & Brazzers? Somebody should make a real game out of this title. Also - Big Rigs for Switch? - finally!!!
Re: Talking Point: What Does Google's Stadia Mean For Nintendo And The Future Of Gaming?
This will probably mean more exclusive games for all platforms.
Re: Reminder: Nintendo Sending Out Survey About Daemon X Machina Demo
I actually liked the game, even though I didn't play through the whole demo - just the first two missions (I didn't want to ruin the future experience). The graphics are awesome, the effects are satisfying, the music is energizing and the gameplay is great (there were some issues but I think they will be resolved by upgrades). I don't see why many people here can't find the enemies to fight since there is a nice radar at the top of the screen. Still, the game still needs some tweaks.
Re: Braveland Trilogy, A Turn-Based Tactical RPG Collection, Is Coming To Switch In March
BTW, Heroes of Might And Magic III would be epic for Switch. It has already been ported to IOS, so I don't see a reason why they would ignore the Switch.
Re: Braveland Trilogy, A Turn-Based Tactical RPG Collection, Is Coming To Switch In March
It's basically a watered-down HOMM3 clone. Fun for the first couple of hours but gets really boring, really fast.
Re: Here's A Look At The Fire Emblem: Three Houses Limited Edition
@getyourak not the only one but the better one. Who needs a file when you can hold the music in your hands?)

Re: Award-Winning First-Person Horror Among The Sleep Is Creeping Onto Nintendo Switch
It is a fun game but not for everyone. You really gotta get into the atmosphere to tryly appreciate the gameplay.
Re: Review: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes - A Stylish Return For The Otaku Hitman
This game deserves attention just because it's different. Not my cup of tea honestly, but I'll probably get it someday just for the collection.
Re: Review: Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes - A Stylish Return For The Otaku Hitman
Yeah, for some reason I just don't feel engaged by this game. Even though it looks extremely stylish.
