I enjoyed it a lot on Steam. I hadn't played it since they released the "final edition" updates but looks like they fixed the big problems I had with difficulty spikes.
@WiltonRoots I agree but it would be nice to hear something from them, even if it is "hey we are a bit behind because of covid-19" but they've been completely silent.
Metacritic user reviews are basically 0 or 10, I cannot really trust those, and 0 seems a bit ridiculous. I do agree having one island per console is a very bad design. I'm not an AC fan but if I was on the fence this would turn me away from buying easily.
User review aggregates are pretty much useless these days. People rage review with 0s when they probably would give more of a 5 or 6. You also have people in the other end trying to counterbalance with 10s. Stick to critic reviews.
@BenAV No other video games works this way. An entire console doesn't typically share a large part of a game. I can tell you're a fan and wanting to defend the decision but it just doesn't make sense.
Good point. Maybe something like the "new 3ds" that was required for some of the SNES game? I just think they're going to have a rough time with third party support once the new consoles arrive. If a PS4 game is hard to port, a PS5 game isn't going to be easier.
I think they'll release a pro version of the switch that is still compatible with all of the games. It could have a little more processing power and battery life but the games still run on both versions. Similar to PS4 pro.
The last thing we need is another Direct entirely about Pokemon. We need a Direct about other games coming soon, because there's not much on the horizon right now.
I know very little about anime, but I feel like there are different levels of anime. I enjoy things like dragon quest (long time fan) final fantasy, and Zelda. But the styles like xenoblade, SMT and Persona are a little too much for my taste. That said, the gameplay of P5 made up for it.
They have been talking about nothing but Pokemon since October. This needed to be a direct about the coming year not more Pokemon. Really disappointing and makes me think there's not much else on the near horizon.
The older I get, the more I just want Zelda stuff, and don't find time for much else (except Metroid...and dragon quest). It's too early for BotW2 but I'd love to see OOT hd ported from 3ds and TPHD. I don't see either one happening though. Oh and if they gave us a skyward sword hd I'd insta-buy.
Cool cool mountain was the first thing that came to mind for some reason. The entire snowhead area of Majora's Mask was the worst. But there is little I liked about that game.
It's not a good movie. I just streamed it last night with my wife and still think it is terrible. I used to think it was at least better than episode two but honestly I'm not so sure anymore. I'm going to see episode 9 because I think jj Abrams will do better (I did like TFA) and of course I want to see how it ends, but I would not see a Rian Johnson trilogy.
I feel like there should be another pre-holiday title, besides Pokemon. I wonder if there will be a surprise release, even if one of the Wii U Zelda HD games.
It is only inevitable if we, the players, support them. A subscription service only benefits them. I prefer to own the games that I purchase. If all games turn into subscriptions and streaming, I'll find a new hobby.
Luigi's mansion and links awakening obviously. Probably some on animal crossing. I hope we will see OOT hd (3ds version), and maybe a teaser for the next 3d zelda and mario. I dont think we'll see metroid prime 4 since they rebooted the project.

Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
@LArachelDisciple I did pick up bug fables this weekend and have been really enjoying it. This is what I wanted from a paper Mario.
Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
If it had gone back to its RPG roots I would have absolutely bought it. This... Is not for me.
Re: How Well Do You Know The Koopalings?
7/8. My gut said Larry was the youngest but for some reason I said Wendy. Ah well.
Re: 16-Year-Old Student Arrested For Allegedly Threatening To "Blow Up Konami’s Headquarters"
Obviously the kid has deeper issues if he's that upset about a game.
Re: Ary And The Secret Of Seasons Has Been Delayed On All Platforms
Had never heard of this. Looks interesting
Re: Tower Of Time Brings More RPG Dungeon Crawling To The Switch Later This Month

Re: Feature: Every Nintendo Switch Online NES Game Ranked
Overall how I expected, but Zelda 2 is always way further down the list than it deserves. Still one of my favorites in the series.

The first one was a blast, looking very much forward to this!

Re: All Final Fantasy Games Are Now On Sale On Nintendo Switch
Sadly no and it hasn't had a remake worth playing. On switch I'd say 7 or 9 to start.
Re: All Final Fantasy Games Are Now On Sale On Nintendo Switch
@ViewtifulJotun I would say FF6 as a starting point if you like classic SNES RPGs.
Re: Rumour: Two Nintendo Presentations Expected To Air Before The End Of March
Nintendo really needs to start communicating. I usually don't care too much but this now feels like Wii U era lack of games and excitement.
Re: Animal Crossing Direct Announced for 20th February
I don't like animal crossing or Pokemon so honestly been pretty disappointed with Nintendo lately.

Re: 23 Years On, And We Still Can't Believe This Classic SNES RPG Didn't Get A US Release
I knew this would be about Terranigma before I clicked. Great game. I do like Illusion of Gaia a bit better though.
Re: Random: Star Wars Director Appears To Use Pokémon GO To Comment On Angry Fans

Re: Nintendo Reminds Us To Watch The Game Awards
Between this and the game awards saying we definitely don't want to miss Reggie's moment, it's hard not to be excited.
Re: Nintendo Rolls Out Another Minor Update For Ring Fit Adventure On Switch
Playing this on level 27 about an hour every other day. Just into world 5. Never expected it to give such a good workout. Really impressed
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Upcoming Major Switch Games

Re: SNES Games Are Officially Headed To Switch Online, And 20 Titles Release Tomorrow
Super Mario World 2!! I couldn't believe it. Now just need FF6.

Re: The Grandia HD Collection Is "Coming Soon" To Nintendo Switch
Will this be the same as the anniversary edition?
