@Pillowpants I read that as marriage the first time through

Yeah, nothing more relaxing that having your data deleted...

But seriously I am in for this game, I like games that do weird things. This doesn't sound much worse than Outer Wilds on an annoyance factor scale.

The trailer looks great to me, and I love the Twin Peaks-esque music.

@Chaos_Knight You're not wrong, but I can dream.

A Short Hike, Portal, and Trip World jump to mind as perfect length games. I usually stop playng games if I stop enjoying them but BOTW and Mario Odyssey both have way too much grind to complete certain stuff.

@Ogbert Yeah to be clear, I was agreeing with you. Tidbits is the common parlance in the US. It's very much a sneaked/snuck situation.

@Ogbert Honestly, it's what everyone says and has for a very long time, Douglas Adams included. I have never once read it another way, and would have bet a thousand dollars on tidbit being the official correct way. But I looked it up and titbit is a word, and tidbit is not (officially). Titbits sounds like a name for nipples, just sayin.

Seems worse than Chompy Chomp Chomp Party.

@SBandy1 I love the Mario spinoff games, but Zelda is a very different situation. And the way Nintendo has targeted peach games at adolescent girls, (yes I know they're good games but that's still their target market), makes me doubt their intentions in making a Zelda game.

@Zebetite Well... No you can't tell that, because it sounds like you are referring at least in part to my comment and I knew very little about the guy. It's unclear in general to what youre even referring too about him, but my comment was about character VS writer voice. The assumption that what a character says is what a writer thinks is one of the most telling assumptions about a persons ability to properly analyze art. More specifically, the assumption that the protagonist of a story is automatically supposed to be in the right. I am a writer and regularly write protagonists who are not

Why don't you just write what you think is relevant about him personally in conjunction with his art, instead of assuming everyone is colluding to support someone you feel shouldn't be. I looked it up and found that he follows some right wing people on Twitter and that's about it, and some tweet about a pizza box that I don't even understand the reference too. Not everyone is glued to social media and constantly digging for reasons to hate everyone. If he's really an incel or something, yeah I agree it changes the meaning of his writing, but all I really know is that he hates mobile/social media gaming.

No I don't want that, Zelda's a cool character because she exists on the periphery of the story. If Nintendo wants to make games with female lead characters, why not just make a new IP instead of just making spinoffs of the main series.

@Yosher I'll be honest I haven't tested smash since doing it. And that's where it's really noticeable because you can't run away from the direction it's drifting.

The thing is, you can't really sue someone for something breaking a couple years after purchase, which is probably the most common Timeline. You should be able to, but planned obsolescence basically rules the marketplace, we are just used to better quality from Nintendo

@Yosher I think the drift with pro controllers is software based and can be fixed by going into settings and recalibrating them. Give it a try, I had the same issue.

@epicgamner I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm.

@-wc- The writing is minimalist, very well done, and skippable if you want. You would probably like it, or possibly be indifferent. People are confusing the author with the character here and not understanding that the slightly tone deaf quality of the character's mildly narcissistic narrative view is self referential. In my opinion, it's one of the better written games, because I understand writing, and am consequently "in on the joke".

Oh also, this should be a 10/10, giving braid a lower score than that is crazy to me.

Considering all I ever hear about this game is how disappointing and grindy it is, I was expecting about this grade.

I wonder what will win....

@OorWullie Oh OK so you want it to be like the Mario kart dlc, not an exclusive.

@OorWullie So a game that is basically a compilation of NES games would be perfect for the people they are already charging to play NES games? There is a reason why Nintendo is really good at business, and it is not doing things like that.

@PikminMarioKirby Yeah, I don't think it fits either, I just don't think any of the others fit. Revolution would have been a good name for the Wii though

@PikminMarioKirby Do those three seem like they have a theme to you?

Ok so his favorite is probably one of the Wii games, or Links Adventure. Otherwise he'd just say.

Wow, that's quite the endorsement. I feel like we are entering into a really good period for metroidvanias again, there's a few recent, and upcoming which just look great

@-wc- I've never thought about this before. I've definitely understood the UK context before, but also can't really get my head around reading it that way in this article.

@shgamer What are you even talking about? Who said Nintendo was better than anything? I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume English isn't your first language. Embracer is an investment group, that owns game companies, Nintendo is a game company. If you can't get the difference, Idk, then I guess go buy Gollum. Embracer "made" that too.

@shgamer What you're saying is like if I complained about Hasbro ruining Magic cards, and you said, "Yeah. But they also make Barbie, so they must be doing something right." If you think they're run like Nintendo in any way, you have greatly misunderstood a lot of video game news over the past year.

@shgamer Embracer is a hedge fund, not a video game developer. They aren't "behind" any game.

I really can't complain when a game is designed for mouse, most pc games are designed for controllers now, and I can't stand the people who whine about it in steam reviews.

It's more "not bad" than it is "good", definitely not top tier, but better than most portable star wars games at the time.

I was excited until I saw instead of expanding on the sweet space opera lore and feel of the first they went for boats.

The Touryst should be on here, that game is amazing.

@Olliemar28 No, it's pretty likely correct thinking on your part, they left it alone for years, and have a history of dmca takedown targeted at upcoming ips, probably appeasing shareholders to some degree

I read this as "hide your weird naked body", and it did not at all phase me.

Not surprising, their resume isn't very robust apart from Good Job, which probably should have gotten them more work than it apparently did.

Lake Kingdom is one of the worst levels in that game, imo, I could have been too harsh, but I remember I left with the minimum amount of moons. Jolly Roger Bay should be on the list. The Great Bay temple is great too.

Wow, Chewbacca instantly for ONLY 1400 v-bucks?

Yeah unfortunately in my similar situation, racing games only remind me of my ex, and the version of herself that's now lost to mental health. There are many games I don't know when or if I'll play again.

Really sinking my teeth into adventure games was a decent escape. Stuff like Strange Horticulture, Grim Fandango, and LA Noire.

@quinnyboy58 Why are you attacking Ratchet and Clank? Mario 64 is basically my favorite game of all time, on my favorite console of all time, but there's nothing wrong with Sly, R&C, or Jak, not to mention Psychonauts, Mario Sunshine, Vexx, Ape Escape 3, Billy Hatcher, or a bunch of other great games from the next generation.

If this game is as good as it looks, I will be pleasantly Surprised. Because it looks really really good.

@PoeTheLizard Keep your toads close, but your koopas closer.

@-wc- Not to mention it's got the glowy BOTW ancient tech look too, which has been done to death.

@RareFan But sonic has attitude. And sneakers. He's so cool. And all his friends are cool too. What a great cast of characters who aren't annoying.

This looks more like Sackboy, than it does like any Mario game, which was too easy and boring.

@ozwally Yeah they should care, but they really really don't.

@ozwally They get them by paying for them like anyone else, and most of the games only have the major issues on switch. That being said, they are a truly terrible publisher, and I wish they would stop releasing their terrible switch ports.

@Diogmites If you can get over some of the cringey dialogue and voice acting, Firewatch is a very engrossing and memorable game, though it has very little actual gameplay. It has very little to do with camping in reality though, and it's not particularly relaxing either.

@mlt I thought 97 was weird to pick over 98 when I saw this pre edit.

The demo for this realllly sucks. The movement and stuff are incredible, but it's just collecting a really poorly written story, and it was such a letdown. I recommend everyone try before buying.

That is one nasty subheading
