Two years late but The You Testament isn't supposed to be a fighting game but an RPG. The hilarity ensures from the fact it uses the same engine as all his games so you get a Biblical game where everyone is throwing fists at each other when Jesus is preaching.
Certainly the strangest of his games as MDickie himself has actually written books on religion and spirituality and considers each of the major religions as holding truths, that Christ, Buddha etc were all enlightened teachers. He has also criticised both religious fanaticism and atheism.
However certainly none of his spiritual philosophy is in the game itself and if it was, it'll be easily be missed in a game that like all his games is just chaotic and janky lol.
@TheBigBlue You realise Charles has an entire vocal range and could have voiced Mario in a more natural way too?
It's too late to change anything now, true. Chris is the voice actor here but I never understood this criticism you guys made about Charles. At least Rogen admitted Donkey Kong is just his normal voice. Chris should have done the same because he's just using his regular voice too lol.
@theModestMouse Still that narrative? $70 for some DLC?
Are we going to get an apology from you guys when the game releases and it's amazing? I'm tired of reading the same comment. At least Tears is showing new stuff. You guys on the otherhand...
@TYRANACLES Huh? I guess you never played The Legend of Zelda 1 and its many sequels if you think this is the first to be the extension of a prior.
@JH1022 They're not going to show everything off in one gameplay trailer.
@JeanPaul Indeed people are crying but we all know this game is still going to gets 10/10 reviews and sell loads.
After all it happened to Elden Ring and that game looked and looked and played identical to Dark Souls 3.
If something isn't broke, it doesn't need fixing. Just expand upon it. Where were all the complaints from people about returning to the same Hyrule from A Link to the Past in A Link Between Worlds, arguably the smallest and worst Hyrule in the franchise? Lol
@Mauzuri "Super Mario Galaxy is a 10/10, Donkey Kong Country 2 is a 10/10."
Nope not a chance lol. Mario Odsessy is better than both of those BTW. You're probably the guy who also thinks A Link to the Past is the best Zelda still even though Link's Awakening did everything better lol.
Speaking of which, all those Zeldas right down to the first ever Zelda game were carbon copies of each other with reused assets too. It's nothing but blinded nostalgia that makes people think all these all retro games are more amazing than their modern sequels.
I've had enough of those Zeldas to last me a lifetime.
@Spider-Kev Of course it looks boring. It's just showing a few gameplay mechanics to do with exploration. I'm guessing you never played BOTW if you think that makes the whole game boring.
@Dezzy70 "But if I can swim across or beat an enemy with a normal weapon, why bother to construct or fuse items. It’s doing it just because you can. A bit slow and boring really with no big purpose overall."
Not really. Fused weapons lead to more damage and weapons with higher durability.
Your reasoning is why switch to a higher damage weapon in any game when you can beat enemies with the weapon you start with. Because at that point you're just limiting yourself and making the game artificially longer by refusing to use the mechanics.
It's like saying why learn the combos in a game in any action game when you can just spam one attack and dodge. Sure that's viable but in the end, somebody who learns the combos is going to defeat a boss in a few minutes vs your 1 hour.
At this point, I understand why so many people had a problem playing Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Probably too many people with your logic who went into the games refusing to upgrade weapons. If you even lasted long enough, mid game bosses must have been taking you ages to defeat. No wonder some people think those games are ultra hard. Yeah they would be when you're doing 50 points of damage on a boss vs the 1000 you could be doing...lol.
@JH1022 Link to the Past is nowhere near the best Zelda and it hasn't aged well. Its own sequel does everything better. Link's Awakening is just better in every capacity right down to dungeon design, the overworld, gameplay, characters, story and exploration.
@Ade117 I have literally never heard anyone suggest these are better than Ritual of the Night. Probably retro fanboys at most but still haven't heard it.
It's a bit like somebody saying Castlevania 1 is better than Symphony of the Night or that the prior Streets of Rage games are better than 4.
@Anachronism In what open world game can't you see and experience everything in 20 hours? What makes Breath of the Wild work is that its sandbox world works perfectly with the mechanics in the game that have allowed people to keep discovering and doing new things.
Meanwhile you go back to a game like A Link to the Past or Link's Awakening and it's just the same thing.
@Mauzuri That's true for most Links. He's just a blank slate. And we get it, you hate Breath of the Wild because of no dungeons. Doesn't change the fact that it's still an amazing game. And seriously no enjoyable music? Not sure how BOTW gets that criticism and not A Link to the Past which only has two songs on a loop...
@ChromeSQD How is it an abomination because of an optional amiibo? Also, this game like Breath of the Wild was a Zelda game whether you like that or not.
It's funny you invoke the GTA series as an example of "great videogames" when that hasn't changed since GTA 3 and Rockstar has spent the last 10 years monetising the hell out of its failing GTA Online instead of developing a new game.
Zelda has had many top down games and the most recent was the remake of Link's Awakening on Switch. All of these played the same. Apparently Nintendo is bad because they changed the formula for once in what became the most successful iteration of Zelda ever?
Well I'll be happy to be playing Tears of the Kingdom rather than a 5th iteration of A Link to the Past.

Re: Another Nintendo Switch Online Seven-Day Free Trial Is Now Available (Europe)
@sleepinglion Agreed, the expansion is simply asking for too much money for what it is too.
Re: Pikmin 4 Switch Pre-Orders Are Now Live - Here Are The Best Prices
@-wc- I thought Metroid Dread was pretty good. Admittedly the only other Metroid I had played before then was Prime literally back in 2002.
However, from online, I thought most people who have played all the games thought Dread was good too.

Re: Resident Evil's Most Popular Character Revealed In Famitsu Reader Survey
@Tokiwa lol true. I think it's the fan girls who voted for Piers. That's the only reason he made the list lol.
Re: Resident Evil's Most Popular Character Revealed In Famitsu Reader Survey
@Zuljaras tbf most characters in Resident Evil are one dimensional.
Re: Resident Evil's Most Popular Character Revealed In Famitsu Reader Survey
@Coolmusic Ethan actually is a pretty badass character. Rebecca is boring.
Re: Resident Evil's Most Popular Character Revealed In Famitsu Reader Survey
@PBandSmelly What the hell is a gay awakening? Lol it's just people voting for their favourite characters in the franchise.
Re: Resident Evil's Most Popular Character Revealed In Famitsu Reader Survey
@Gamecuber Not true. If anything, Chris has had more character development and plot development in RE5 and 6 alone.
Leon's plot is still simping for Ada 20 years later.
