Re: Review: EarthBound - A Quirky, Cosmic Adventure Bound To Warm Your Heart

I love this game, but to give it a 10 is a bit of nostalgia glasses wearing in my opinion.

It's incredibly unique and a piece of history in gaming, but at the same time has some big pacing issues, inventory management is awful and it has some weird difficulty spikes.

Strip the game of its charm and check its core mechanics and you'll see that it's an interesting but flawed RPG.

@Spiders You actually gave me a lot of food for thought too. I really like your point of view about the situation.

The future definitely doesn't look as dark comparing to the possibilities you presented, but one other thing to think about is that Microsoft makes the game pass model so accessible because they want to defeat the competition. If they do win the console war and become a monopoly, what's stopping them from hiking prices or creating "tiers" with access to different games according to how much you pay, thus creating another class division?

Unfortunately I think it's something very human to try to divide themselves into groups of haves and have-nots.

@gameboy1975 Any and all arguments you had I'll dismiss considering you called me "kiddo" and "friend". Next time you talk to someone you don't know don't demean then by using these terms. Also saying what I wrote is "crap" invalidates your argument too.

A lesson for next time you talk to people is, don't talk down to them, talk to them. You come off as arrogant. Thankfully there's an ignore button, so see you never again.

@johnvboy I liked the original service for its price and what was offered. I don't think the new service offers enough to justify the price hike, especially when I don't care about the Sega Genesis games and I would speculate(although I can't confirm) that most people don't care either and would prefer GB/GBC/GBA games added to it. It is a Nintendo console after all.

I was actually looking forward to this until the price announcement, so I can say that at least when it comes to my opinion on the service you are objectively wrong.
