@SwagaliciousJohnson Yooka Laylee failed only because Playtonic are a bunch of disingenuous pandering has-beens that don't know what made Banjo Kazooie so good to begin with. Did you know they gave this dumb excuse as to the reason they never made Banjo-Threeie because they thought there wasn't an audience for it on Xbox... because Grabbed by The Ghoulies didn't sell too well. They then made Nuts and Bolts, talked about how proud they are of the project only to turn around during the Yooka Laylee Kickstarter about how much of a bad idea it was :/

It may not be my favorite 3D Mario game but I absolutely love how Mario controls. Though one thing that always bugged me since when I was a kid was how obtuse it was to unlock Corona Mountain. There's like no hint at all on the requirements and when you do find out you realize how all of the side shine sprites that aren't the first 7 missions in each level are completely worthless.

Re: Sega Wants To Take "Good Care" Of 2D And 3D Sonic In The Future

The issue with 3D Sonic is Sonic Team has always been them being too afraid to stick to a formula and try to refine it. I've given Sonic Heroes a try a few weeks back for the first time and I enjoyed it a fair bit. It has plenty of flaws but it's something that could've been improved if they tried to do more with it in one more game. Sadly they stripped away the team mechanic and decided to run with the mission structure in the game Shadow The Hedgehog only to abandon that and horribly botch the adventure style in Sonic 06 a year later...

I always despised how much disregard these studios had with making these cartoon adaptations of video games. Like there doesn't seem to be any good excuse as to why they couldn't at least designed the characters what they're suppose to look like. There's taking creative liberties but then there's whatever DIC Entertainment did. But I suppose being accurate wouldn't prevent it from being another poor quality cartoon from that time period.

Re: Random: Teen Uses 3DS, Wii U And A Fridge To Tweet After Parent Confiscates Her Phone

Boy I have a story relating to this from like 6 years ago:
When I was 15 and my parents took away my 3DS and Wii U. I enjoyed hangning around on Miiverse so much that I couldn't bare to not be on it. The reason they took it away was over some delayed punishment over my grades even though they took it away from me because I fought with my brother and pushed the reason onto my grades. Now before you say I was in the right or wrong... I managed to take back my stuff and they caught me twice and the second time where I refused to give them my 3DS games they threatened to disown me and my racist parents said they'd put me in foster care with "blacks" over 3DS games and I'll never see anyone I know ever again. Before you say they were just scaring me, they forced me to get dressed and drive me to who knows where. Even if they weren't serious, that's still a messed up thing to do to your own child. Sure I doubt this girls' mother is as bad as fine but my point was to anyone saying the kid circumventing the punishment is the only one in the wrong here.
