Are you effing kidding me? I know it wasn't Game Freak that developed this game, but it's exactly how they behave. Unlimited TMs gave enormous variety and potential combinations with your Pokémon.
The Pokémon franchise will never evolve as long as Game Freak has control over it, they only know how to make simple games from 20 years in the past. Give it to a better developer like Namco.
I love this policy that Square Enix has introduced of taking demo feedback into consideration. Bravely Default II was improved by doing this and as we can see so will Project Triangle be improved by it.
The Switch's success is making Nintendo lazier and lazier. Apparently they need to fail again like with the Wii U to again start doing something more intelligent.
If it's released in a completely broken state like Deadly Premonition 2 it's a hard pass. The first game had it's issues but it pulled through because of its charm, the second one was just bad.
I'm one of the few people that actually prefer the way the game looks right now, apparently.
Before it looked kinda boring and drab, now it looks bright like the Pokémon world should be.
@BloodNinja I read your comments and I always have a good laugh, but recently I've noticed that you and others have been censored a lot more frequently.
Nintendo had ridiculously high profits last quarter, of course it was going to dip, especially after the lockdown was over in some countries. And the "disappointment" of the lack of release of a Switch pro probably helped, even though time and time again Nintendo said they weren't going to release it, so disappointment generated from lack of confirmation on false rumors, amazing.
I gotta be honest, without the motion controls I had a blast playing the game. I still don't think it's one of the best Zelda games, but a lot better than my first impression on the Wii.
Yes, because Metacritic is the end-all definition of what's best and worst.
Not criticizing the author of the article because she states at the beginning that not everyone trusts metacritic, but the amount of people that take it seriously shows that they want an arbitrary number to decide what is considered good and that is very sad.
@HeadPirate Well, let me change what I said to something more specific then. The focused space is an issue because of how frequent you traverse through it. That to me is repetitive and a negative. I completely agree with you that a game doesn't need to be longer to be better, and my problem with this game is not the scope, but exactly how long it takes to move forward in the story. I actually thinks this game is too long for what it wants to do.
On a sidenote, no need for the uppercase, chill out.
Push Square's review seems more balanced. This one glossed over a lot of the weak points of the game which to be honest were noticeable in the demo, like the repetitive combat and limited world.
I had a good time with Nexomon Extinction but to me releasing the original doesn't make any sense. The sequel does everything the original did, but better.
@AlienigenX I think it's because it's Castlevania and people enjoy the IP. I love the games, but I found the animation to be average and the story weak.
@Damo You're right! To be honest even I have been harsher than I should in some comments. Let me take this opportunity to thank you guys for taking these comments (including mine) in stride. A lot of people wouldn't have the patience and professionalism you guys have.
@nessisonett every time someone says something criticizing any article here you get extra defensive and half of the arguments in the comment section are you against somebody. I know you're not going to do it, but try to chill and let people have different opinions from yours.
There are some nice elements to the game, but one of the best? Not by a long shot. It's extremely repetitive with the visits to the Temple of the Ocean King that exists only to stretch it's length to something similar to a console Zelda game.
To me it always felt like it was Wind Waker lite. At least Spirit Tracks tried to shift the formula a bit.
@AbejaGrande The guy lived 100 years ago where unfortunately most white people were incredibly racist. That doesn't justify his behaviour and he was definitely wrong. But the choice of being celebrated or not is not yours, that falls to the public. Worse people than him have been celebrated and better condemned. If you don't like his work stay away from it, but trying to convince people through agressive confrontation like you did with Noid is not gonna earn you any points.
Really? Changing the voice actor because of color? So people can only voice chracters from their cultural/ethnical background? Kratos' voice actor is not Greek so should we change him? No, because he did a good job. The whole point of acting is pretending to be someone you're not.
Amazing story, repetitive gameplay. Considering how restricting the Wii was as a hardware it would be very interesting to see what they're capable of doing on a more powerful hardware.

Re: Back Page: Ranking Every Version Of Fairy Fountain From The Legend Of Zelda
Totally agree with number one, but the Cadence of Hyrule one is an abomination.

So they really copied GTA to a T.
Re: Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Snags Three Nominations At Gamescom Awards 2021
Sorry to be rude, but giving awards to a product that is not finished and nobody played it yet is one of the dumbest things in the world.

Re: New Pokémon Legends: Arceus Footage Introduces The Hisui Region
It honestly doesn't look very good. But I'm still glad that Game Freak is trying to do something new with Pokémon. I really hope it's a good game.

Re: Super Meat Boy's Physical Box Art Is Horrifying
I know it's supposed to reference 80's box arts, but this is ugly as hell. It does it too well, to the point of being unappealing.

Re: Nintendo's Directors Receive Increased Pay After The Past Year's Success
It feels fair considering how much they made for the company last year. If only the western companies had similar behavior....
Re: The First Review For The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Now In
It's famitsu, they're the most arbitrary reviewers I've ever seen. I trust them as much as those 3 minute reviews on youtube.

Re: Review: Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light - We've Come A Long Way In 30 Years
It should have been released for free on the NES virtual console. But Nintendo couldn't hold itself back from being greedy.

Wish I could say the same about the game.
Re: Review: Kirby Fighters 2 - A Brilliant Bite-Sized Alternative To Super Smash Bros.
I knew nothing about this game. I wonder why Nintendo didn't advertise it more since it seems to be a quality game. Nice surprise, nevertheless.
