As a lifelong Paper Mario fan, unfortunately I simply did not enjoy Sticker Star. I loved Color Splash tho, and would have loved Origami King were it not for its puzzle based combat, which I found genuinely frustrating. Time AND turn limited puzzles? No thank you.
I can't say it's too big of a deal for me, as I listen to metal and you dont see much of that in games with licensed music. But Sleeping Dogs had a metal station and the aforementioned Saints Row does as well.
I've only played the first, but there are few games I've disliked more. I'm not saying they should stop if others enjoy them, but that game irked me like no other.
Theres simply too many for me to choose from. Currently rocking Raid Under Storm and Stress by Deep Cut on repeat. The entirety of Paper Mario 64's soundtrack is also wonderful.
Tbh I found some of the points in the final case a little.... too far out there. My favorite of the original 3 is the first one, but Great Ace Attorney Chronicles blows them away for me
@SalvorHardin It got loads of original games looking at the game list. I agree with the artist, a brand new stylized Mario on GBA would sell like hot cakes. Makes me wonder about potential cancelled GBA Mario's.
In all honesty I really didnt like Octopath. Found the combat boring, (hit weak point, lay on damage, repeat) and the lack of connection between characters made it hard to get invested.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Scarlet And Violet?
I couldn't give it a number score. Gameplay wise, fantastic, but the state it released in is unacceptable. It's a shame because its very fun too.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Piece Of Music In A Nintendo Game?
@BLD Was listening to it just last week, the heavy rock songs rule.

Theres some great and good songs in here, but nothing I'd consider the best of them all.
Re: Talking Point: Is The Golden Age Of Licensed Music In Games Over?
I can't say it's too big of a deal for me, as I listen to metal and you dont see much of that in games with licensed music. But Sleeping Dogs had a metal station and the aforementioned Saints Row does as well.
Re: Bravely Default Developer Team Asano Asks Fans If They Want A New Entry

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Music Track From A Nintendo Game?
Theres simply too many for me to choose from. Currently rocking Raid Under Storm and Stress by Deep Cut on repeat. The entirety of Paper Mario 64's soundtrack is also wonderful.

Re: Square Enix Celebrates Octopath Traveler's Fourth Anniversary With New Artwork
In all honesty I really didnt like Octopath. Found the combat boring, (hit weak point, lay on damage, repeat) and the lack of connection between characters made it hard to get invested.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Leaker Shares Details Of A New "Finished" Fire Emblem On Switch
