Re: Fan-Made 'Link's Awakening DX HD' Port Taken Down By Nintendo

OctoCallie20

Not really surprised at all. Glad I snagged it when I did, though!

That aside, it's odd that they only target the really well-made fan-made stuff, and not the half-hearted/lazy/no-effort-put-in-it-at-all fan-made stuff. Really makes you think...

All that being said... As hard as they try, it's like cutting off the head of a hydra: If you slice one off, dozens more take its place as fan-made stuff like this gets uploaded to other sites.

Re: Zelda Producer Responds To Fans Who Want A More "Traditional Linear" Adventure

>Aonuma getting this uptight and infuriated at a community that, a majority of the time, has done NOTHING to him

Good heavens, how petty, childish, mean-spirited and out-of-touch and even senile does the man have to be? TOTK was a boring trek-fest of a game and everyone is starting to get legitimately exhausting on the same level of MCU/DCU hero-movie fatigue.

It's time to put the man into retirement and place someone better in the director's chair because Aonuma is just a bitter, spiteful and senile human being and the community is sick of his nonsense.

Re: E3 Has Been Cancelled, Permanently

OctoCallie20

Man, I'm gonna miss some of the cool stuff that came out of E3.

I remember going to E3 6 years ago and meeting Matt Bozon, which was the highlight of 2017 for me! I even shared the snapshots I had of Matt and I with a Discord buddy (who I sadly have no way of talking with anymore since they seemingly vanished off the face of the internet, as far as my searches have taken me! D:) and said friend being envious in a friendly manner. That's one memory that will always stand out for me of that particular year!

Re: Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises

OctoCallie20

@burninmylight Blame MS for that, not Sega. MS wanted something for that holiday and shoved Sega's face into the grime to get it out by that season.

@KingMike To quote a person on a forum I was on the other night: "NIGHTS is lizuka's baby, so I truly do think will see a new one before he retires from game dev. Maybe it'll be his ultimate magnum opus!"

Re: Sega Plans To Revive Even "More" Legacy Franchises

OctoCallie20

I hope that if we get a new NiGHTS game, it's a full 3d game this time. They experimented with the idea when Journey of Dreams was early in development, but apparently, that didn't work well. Now that they're working with 200 times better hardware, they could potentially make something truly special.

Make it so, Sega! 😛

Re: Sega Announces New Games In Development For Classic Franchises

OctoCallie20

"And more"

My copium prayer is the "and more" is referring to NiGHTS, A new NiGHTS game would most likely be exclusive to a Nintendo console so they could be waiting until Nintendo officially reveals the new switch to talk about it. I hope if we get a new NiGHTS its a full 3d game this time. They experimented with the idea when journey was early in development but apparently that didn't work well. Now that they're working with 200 times better hardware, they could potentially make something truly special. Just give me my NiGHTS goodness, Sega! That lovable "purple flying jester" (as my best friend hilariously puts it. 😂) needs another chance to flourish!

Re: Nintendo Is Still Trying To Fix Splatoon 3's Big Run Reward Bug

OctoCallie20

This whole "patch" was/is an absolute joke. How can Nintendo/the devs fumble it worse than Sega fumbled Sonic back in 2006? Hooooooly cow, yeah, until they can stop stretching themselves so thin with working on Side Order and (potentially) whatever for the rumoured Switch 2/Splatoon 4, I officially dropping this game faster than I've stopped playing guitar (though that was more of an unintentional "being distracted by life stuff" situation that's lasted a few years at this point-).

Re: Nintendo Direct June 2023 - Every Announcement And Game Reveal

OctoCallie20

>That 0% on Splatoon 3

Nintendo really just keeps dropping the ball with these bottom-of-the-barrel Splatfest themes that nobody even cares about and the fact that it's getting a 0% is so evident that they need to take the entirely half-baked mess back to the drawing board, especially considering that fans themselves care more about that broken, fumbling mess by creating far better themes than the very company that made Splatoon to begin with-

Re: Random: Oops! Nintendo's Doug Bowser Makes Amusing Zelda Typo On Twitter

OctoCallie20

Lol, that typo.

Happens to the best of us! Heck, it still happens to me from time to time where I typo something to this day. It all started back in the ye olde times of 2007-2010 where my online pals and I would be chatting and I'd make so many typos that it garnered me the title of "Typo King", haha-

I still wear that title as a sort of badge of honor to this day.

That aside, nobody should feel too awful for making a typo and just kind of laugh at such in a good, healthy manner-

Re: Splatoon 3 Outlines Next Patch Update, Here's What To Expect

OctoCallie20

How's about they fix Big Run by not making the percentages so skewed that top 5% isn't some obscene number such as this recent "141" nonsense?

My proposal: Add up all the gold egg percentages from each round of every shift and sort the percentages that way.

If anyone has a far smarter idea, feel free to toss your hat in the ring- 🤔😛

Re: Splatoon 3 Adds Another Returning Stage For Salmon Run In Upcoming Season

OctoCallie20

Marooner's Bay is an ok map for SR, but I much prefer Salmonid Smokeyard, if I'm gonna be honest. Even Lost Outpost had its fun moments.

However.

Bringing back the most disliked map, Spawning Grounds... Why? Nobody even likes it as a map. It's a map that wasn't even built for fighting Cohozuna at all like the new maps are. If I had the option to disable Cohozuna fights for that map, I absolutely would, trust me. Spawning Grounds should've stayed stuck behind S2.

Re: This Black Friday Nintendo Switch Deal Comes With 100,000 PC Optimum Points (CA)

OctoCallie20

@PARK1755 I've lived in Vancouver BC for my entire life thus far, I don't see myself leaving the place, but if I were to choose to live elsewhere... That's an idea I'd have to give some very deep thinking on. Lots of neat places to live! Hopefully someplace without any crazy chaos going on around the place.

As some friends and I always say on our main friend's Twitch stream:

"Hell yeah, brother!"

🇺🇸 🤝 🇨🇦 buddies forever!

Re: This Black Friday Nintendo Switch Deal Comes With 100,000 PC Optimum Points (CA)

OctoCallie20

@PARK1755 I wish everything weren't so obscenely expensive. Ah well, a dude can dream! I blame certain folks that I'll refrain from mentioning here. 👀

But that aside, this is pretty neat! Too bad I already own an OLED and even Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Maybe there's other items that are part of the deal? May as well check the link. 😛

Even if I don't have the points thing that this place has, it's definitely worth peeking at!

Re: Review: Sonic Frontiers - A Bold But Ultimately Failed Attempt At Something New

OctoCallie20

4/10? That's pretty generous, considering that, to these eyes, it very much looked like a very bare-bones, broken tech demo. And that doesn't bode well for SonicTeam if I'm gonna be honest; This goes to show me that SonicTeam is beyond exhausted and way fresh out of ideas on what to do. I definitely think that maybe it's time for Sonic as a series to be shelved because Sega/SonicTeam definitely has way better series/franchises to give love and attention to! What about giving NiGHTS some love? And yes, I can hear many in the crowd saying that NiGHTS was somewhat Naka's idea, but with his current... Whatever he's got going on, and not even being there and such, I definitely think series like that should be given another chance at life, regardless of all these various circumstances. It'd be a good, clean break from the shoveled monotony of all these Sonic games!

Re: Splatoon 3 Announces A Pokémon-Themed Splatfest, Coming In November

OctoCallie20

Eh, I won't pick any of the choices because Pokémon is dead to me (and I'm sure a lot of others, even if it might be few!), what with GameFreak being horrendously lazy with Pokémon games in more recent years and until it goes to a company that can care more for the series instead of those lazy hacks at GF, I will continue to have extreme disinterest in the series. Sucks that they're skipping over a Halloweeen Splatfest to promote and encourage a horribly lazily-made game created by the laziest company I've ever known!

Re: Talking Point: Would You Mind If Nintendo Retired The 'Big' Nintendo Direct Format?

OctoCallie20

I'd certainly miss the big, hype-level announcements of stuff like a new Zelda or even stuff like Splatoon and such; On the other hand, there's many games in them that just did not ever capture my interest. I don't think Nintendo's game announcements would be the same without 'em, imo.

Sure, the leaks and such kind of throw a wrench into things, but if they stopped/retired Directs, then I'd have not much to look forward to chat with some pals on Discord voice chat with like I did when that very first look of Splatoon 3 was first announced eons ago! Stuff like that is always a blast to watch with Discord folks on my friend's server.

Re: Takashi Iizuka: Sonic Frontiers Is Sonic's "Next Step For The Next 10 Years"

OctoCallie20

If this is gonna be the "next 10 years" of Sonic games...

Then I have absolutely zero faith in the Sonic IP/franchise as a whole.

Sega of Japan is awful and needs to lose its Sonic IP, as well as NiGHTS and its other IPs to other companies if this is the best they can do because it doesn't impress me at all. They themselves are responsible for how awful Sonic has turned out to be post-Sonic Adventure. It's time for them to be held accountable!

Re: Sonic Movie Was "A Huge Inspiration" For Sonic Frontiers' Combat

OctoCallie20

That's nice, I still won't get it because of Sega's whining and complaining that fans, quote-unquote, "don't get it".

Oh, I think they get it, alright, and they dislike what they'd seen so far strongly.

Sega needs to completely forfeit the Sonic IP stuff, as well as NiGHTS and other series, to companies that actually care about IPs. Just imagining a NiGHTS game made by Nintendo is an amazing thought!

Re: Mini Review: Kill It With Fire - Arachnophobes Need Not Apply

OctoCallie20

This game is pretty fun and enjoyable!

Now if only it wouldn't keep consistently crashing and closing every time so that I could actually finish it... //Facedesk

I have no idea why it would keep crash-closing on the Switch. It it some sort of bug/glitch or something? It's getting pretty annoying to deal with. D:

Re: Random: "I'm Able To Trust Sony More Than Nintendo" - Japan Reacts To The Closure Of The Wii U And 3DS eShops

OctoCallie20

“I’m able to trust Sony more than Nintendo."

...I stopped and will never trust Sony after their awful stunts they've pulled in more recent years. I just don't support that sort of shenaniganry nonsense! Hopefully, Sony will someday clean up their awful act and focus on hopefully creating and putting out awesome games! Even if that day is not really that close. ^^;
