Never has there been a more repulsive and off-putting tagline than “the video game equivalent of Limp Bizkit”.

I think I’m alright actually without this game then, thanks.

I don’t necessarily care for it either way (I’m swaying more towards ‘this is utterly meaningless’), but some of the comments are pretty unacceptable for having an opinion on something.

@Alpha008 like I said, I don’t want to read reviews of entitled internet crybabies, essentially. The kind of people that would review bomb something because they changed a voice actor or something, as opposed to evaluating the game on its own merit.

Why is everyone dumping on Metacritic? And what maniacs actually go there for the user reviews? I’m only interested in the opinions of people that can actually string a coherent sentence together.

@batmanbud2 literally no one refers to Kirby as RTDLD, what are you on over there?

Is there any Alex content that isn’t cringe?

@The_Dragons_Mouth @Ooyah It was low-hanging fruit, but at least we got some laughs before it gets removed 😅

Anti-Matter is probably gonna s**t his pants when he sees this news.

Pretty insane to come out with this so soon after the high-profile closure of Yuzu. I’m sure their alleged legal consultation will be absolutely useless and I anticipate the day it gets taken down.

@bluemage1989 your opinions on Disco Elysium, Shining Pearl and the Persona games are generally miles away from the sheer majority of critics and fans. Certainly not “in line with what most people would think”.
That’s exactly all it is though - an opinion. And yours is in the minority with those three.

Disco Elysium is one of the finest narrative works I have experienced of any medium.
I hope the extremely talented people affected by this bs manage to find the same success with their future projects.

This was the time to announce them after alllll the bloody speculation. But no, the rumours will continue again.

Can’t wait to bomb some Dodongos.

I’ve never been a huge fan of the Mario Vs Donkey Kong games. It’s missing some of that creative magic we’ve come to expect from the main games.
This really had to be at least a 9 for me to pick it up, so no chance of that happening now.

@nimnio he’s edited his comment so it now makes more sense. Originally it read as a proper unnecessary dig at me.

Really confused by… all of his words to be honest. He left in 2020 after what sounds like he basically sold his “baby” and handed over creative control to others. I bet he wasn’t complaining when he got a fat pay check at the time.
And yeah, the game has nearly been out for 5 and a half years. Probably definitely absolutely time for something new.

@IceEarthGuard we all have our own opinions, Jarrett. Considering she hasn’t worked on a Pokemon project since she was Ash, and was easily her most recognisable role, she’s clearly still clinging onto that in 2024. It’s not rude, she has not been relevant in Pokemon for almost 20 years lollllll.

@ketrac sorry we’re talking about what SHE said though. Not players, fans, consumers, etc.

Your point about Resident Evil doesn’t make much sense. Are you saying you WANT the infamously bad and critically panned original Resi voice actors for the sake of continuity? Because no one was complaining when they got changed… 🥴

Pretty ridiculous comments from her (and most other people here too, I guess) to say she’s not quite over being recast in something that happened 18 years ago…
She literally addressed her own dilemma by stating that it’s par for the course when it comes to being an actor. It’s the nature of the industry. I’m sorry but, move on to new projects and stop trying to remain relevant in this space.

@dew12333 mate I forgot all about Hogwarts actually, I just watched the Digital Foundry video instead.
Good shout though, I don’t think you’re wrong.

Sorry, wtf are we doing reporting on the hardships of convicted criminals? Is this really where this site is at now?

Right, that’s enough of Palworld. And that’s definitely more than enough of Kit and Krysta fs.

It would probably help that percentage if something was announced… This doesn’t concern me.

@sleepinglion really? That’s your attitude towards the game because someone has found one of the most niche and random exploits imaginable? Glitches and tricks are found in games all the time. How were the QA team supposed to know that this, of all things, was even possible?

Limited Run currently have Bill and Ted in their physical year end sale, so this will no doubt be a ploy to get rid of excess stock that they have of a game which no one really wanted, because it’s trash.

Rated 7 out of 10 from this very site, but is a a GotY contender..? Doubt.

@PinderSchloss misinterpreting someone else’s words isn’t an experience hahahaha.

Okay I think that’s enough of The Game Awards for one year. General consensus is that they’re one big hype builder, not really about celebrating gaming, Geoff Keighley is a tool, etc.
@pinderschloss absolutely owned mate. I would probably give it a week before you come back here.

@MS7000 hardly disdain for older titles, or else there wouldn’t have been remakes of Link’s Awakening and Skyward Sword after Breath of the Wild. And, using your own words, they have embraced both styles of game.

@GravyThief and I feel like you’re the kind of person that would complain regardless of what they put out at this stage.

@LadyCharlie well they clearly considered fans feedback, so I think you’re being incredibly disrespectful here. You do you though if you don’t want to return to the series, you’re definitely in the minority though with your opinion.

If you were to remove all instances of ‘flipping’, ‘blinking’, ‘ruddy’ and any other adverbs, Alex’s articles would be half the length.

As others have said, poor list, with almost no homework done.

@Olliemar28 ah of course, for the clicks innit Loud and clear.

Great game review that doesn’t mention anything about the gameplay at all. Wonderful stuff, as ever from this site.

@DripDropCop146 poor take. But you do you.

It’s only Monday, can I get some time to play the bloody game?

Mario games scoring very well and Anti-Matter still saying stupid sh*t.

All is right with the world.

Dodge anything from Forever Entertainment. Shovelware-tier developer that somehow still gets decent licenses.

He might well be correct when making these assumptions, but did he have to come across like such a d**k while doing so?

I’m convinced this isn’t an official King Kong tie-in and is just a terrible attempt to look like one to boost sales. I’d sure they would have used more movie assets and references if it was.

This is what Disney do. Nothing new here.

I’m embarrassed on behalf of all these whiny Twitter users. The game is out in 9 days and they’re all going to buy it anyway.

Well done for drawing people in with the clickbait headline.

It really does need to be backwards compatible though, so let’s not f*** around any more than you already have.

They’ll probably put out a separate release when the full DLC is available too. If there’s one company who completely epitomises quantity over quality, it’s Game Freak.

@Princess_Lilly well when did you buy it?

I’m just glad to finally see Origins released in PAL territories. Already own the first one on Gamecube (which I’ve admittedly never played), but I couldn’t miss this collection.
