Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (9th November)

Olrun

It's been a couple of really chaotic weeks for me so finally I can put some time into gaming. Started Dragon quest monsters and discovered a couple of days ago that Monster Hunter Diary FINALLY got a fan translation, which I've wanted to play since PSP era. So ya know the plan ;D Happy gaming everyone!

Re: Poll: Are You Ready To Move On From The Switch?

I have to double check but I believe my backlog on switch of already bought games is... maybe 6? Since a year ago I just buy a game if I'm going to start playing right away (apart of certain games I want to play 100% and get a nice discount, which I start playing a soon as I finish my current game), so my backlog starts to be under control.
Still there are plenty of games I would like ti replay and old games I'd love to play for the first time, so no rush for the new console. If it has no backward compatibility and doesn't have a launch title that interests me, surely I'll wait for a while.

Re: Dragon Quest Creator On The Challenge Of Silent Protagonists In Modern Gaming

@Bass_X0 but being a silent hero doesn't mean character can't be expressive at times. Link is a silent hero but he can be expressive at times.
I agree that a silent hero removes things, but there are several ways to manage.

At the same time more realistic games bring some design problems that in less realistic games are not present, which ends in yellow paint, characters moving "slow" in comparison to older games... realistic game design doesn't suit at all with most design ideas done for years.
