Also as an aside but i found a shiny finizen when i first played the game. I was so dissapointed that I needed online and friends to evolve it. If I could evolve on my own it could've been my favorite.
I chose slowbro. I only really like 3 gen 1 evolution lines. Slowbro, Venusaur and Vileplume. (Eevee too kind of. The eeveelution i like are from later gens) All the other's are just kinda whatever for me.
I liked Tales of Arise, Granblue and Kyoto Xanadu. Honestly my hopes were Metaphor or Clair obscura. I think it was an alright direct but nothing made me mega excited.
Is it weird to say part of the reason i don't want to buy Prime 4 is because i haven't played 1 through 3. Playing numbered games out of order just bugs me for some reason
@Friendly The japanese version of cyberpunk is censored. So it does seem that either Adhoc messed up by not making 2 versions. Or that nintendo gave cyberpunk a pass because it's a bigger game.
Personally i think Adhoc messing up is more likely.
@Friendly Cyberpunk has dong customizations in the character creator. Witcher doesn't show it (from what i know). That's why Cyberpunk is used as an example because the JP version has censored content but the western release doesn't. People wanted Dispatch to do the same.
@drykho That's true if 1/3 of a standard direct was just 1 game it would be kinda weird. I meant condense this direct into like 2 or 3 min trailer. (although for the record i'm not a fan of single game directs)
@MysteryCupofJoe In all fairness when i played New Super Mario bros. My sister would get a higher jump by jumping on my Toad head and sending me to my demise
I think a big problem is how fast studios will announce a game. There was no need to announce prime 4 when it was just a logo. I do kinda get it for indie teams since most just make 1 game at a time, so complete silence would be a bit weird.
0p for family. Not that suprising. With friends you share more interest and when alone you can do what you want without asking others if they want to as well.
@DwaynesGames That makes sense. I always thought it was for parents. The branding showing this is popular and cheap thus making it an easy gift for their kids. But now most parents are more familiar with games so this kinda branding wasn't as usefull anymore.
I think if nintendo wants less complaints about greed they could bring back Nintendo Selects. They probably don't want to do for 1 mil+ sold. So maybe instead do it for older games to make the series more approachable. Like Fire Emblem or Xenoblade.
"this masterpiece from Kazutaka Kodaka remains my favourite game of the year" i agree 100%. Hundred line sticks with me. It's been months and i still think about it daily.
I feel like AI is becoming the next 'Trolley problem'. People will say "it's bad if used for X but it's fine if used for Y" when both options could effect someones livelyhood.
For example i often hear its fine for filing tax paper work. But this can effect the livelyhood of accountants.
I kinda get why netflix didn't think about the games division. They make mostly shows. They would probably prefer to license out their properties to game developers instead, like how Disney does it.

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 7 Pokémon?
Xurkitree. I love all the UBs but only one of them can be found behind my tv
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 5 Pokémon?
Gen 5 has the strongest dex imo. I remember the pokemon magazine hyping up new pokemon and being so excited.
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 4 Pokémon?
My first gen. As a kid i had such a massive crush on Dawn i would always chose Piplup.
Re: Stellar Blade Dev Might Be Eyeing A Switch 2 Release In The Future
One of 3 games that made me consider getting ps5. So i hope it will come to switch without issue

Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 3 Pokémon?
As a kid i thought Gardevoir was like a cool white witch and as an adult... i don't think i can say anything without causing some assumptions.
Also shiny mega shiny Gardevoir is one of the best looking
Re: Poll: What's Your Favourite Gen 1 Pokémon?
I chose slowbro. I only really like 3 gen 1 evolution lines. Slowbro, Venusaur and Vileplume. (Eevee too kind of. The eeveelution i like are from later gens)
All the other's are just kinda whatever for me.
Re: Poll: So, Should Pokémon Red And Blue Return For The 30th Anniversary?
I would love something a bit more obscure like Pokemon Conquest or park. Or maybe even a compilation of the Rangers games
Re: The Hundred Line Creator Wants To Keep The Game Going For "Around Ten Years"
If it becomes big enough will the name change again? Like to 300 line or 100 line 1+2+3?

Re: Metroid Prime 4 & Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Sales Get Off To A Slow Start
Is it weird to say part of the reason i don't want to buy Prime 4 is because i haven't played 1 through 3. Playing numbered games out of order just bugs me for some reason
(except JRPGs like dragon quest or persona)

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream For Switch?
I'lll probably wait for a sale. The main reason i want it is to make random Miis say profanities anyway.

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd January (North America)

Re: Chris Pratt Supposedly Hints At "A Couple More" Character Surprises In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

Re: Nintendo Has A Game-Key Card Alternative In The Works With Smaller Switch 2 Carts
Honestly suprising. I thought it was just gonna be larger carts at most. Hopefully companies wil actually use them though
Re: Japanese Charts: Switch 2 And Mario Kart World Continue To Obliterate The Competition
Shout out to all 13 people that bought a ps4. Maybe they're trying to get them before the retro collectors consider it old enough.
Re: Rumour: A Game-Key Card Alternative? Nintendo May Have Smaller Switch 2 Carts In The Works
Hasn't this been in the rumourmill for a while? I feel like this was talked about months ago. It would be nice though if it was true this time.
