Perfect for me. We need another Pro, and I sold Oddesy b/c of that one difficulty curve you can negate with an amibo. Hollow Knight has taught me to love a game I can't necessarily one hundred percent. I'd play throght the first 800 moons again for sure.
Sorry if somebody said this, but 2D allstars came out in two forms. The second time it came with Super Mario World. I doubt 3D Allstars would come out later with Mario Oddessy, but later with SMG2? It's possible.
@nessisonett So true. I also thought this rumor was pretty-well laid to rest. I don't know if I'm more surprised it was real, or more surprised that it's $60. You think Bowser's Fury looks open-world?
I thought it was bland. Most of the elemental powers were old hat. At points, it felt like I was trying to just finish it. I didn't expect any surprises, and, thanks to the trailer, there were very few. The order of events was pretty repetetive, with some variety. The battles became something I wanted to avoid. When it was all over, I felt let down by how much the worlds felt empty and how platonic, devoid of excitement, the whole thing felt overall. I guess the craft characters just reminded me of school, and the helper character felt frumpy. The story could have been more compelling. There were a couple highlights of what felt like compelling story, but knowing how much status quo was at work lowered my expectations and made me notice how much nothing was going on. I got my money's worth, but $40 would have been fairer. I wish I could "unbuy" it, so my non-buy could vote for an rpg treatment instead of what we got, which was meh. Also, lots of pointless warp hubs.
@nessisonett No worries, man. I sometimes wonder why sarcasm doesn't have a font or "prefacing" like questions do in Spanish. ¿You get me? Have a good one.
@nessisonett Oh. Well, I like your account. You always add something interesting... yes, like on that The Last of Us thread. I wondered if your icon was glitched-Pattinson (a good actor), but I was afraid I would annoy you if I asked that. I didn't know you could click for old comments. Thanks! When you mentioned "pedo defenders" the wording was like you were saying people who dislike pedos dislike Netflix, but that can't be what you meant, because you like Netflix, same as me, and guys like you and I who make jokes about stuff like hoods or salutes or dumb stuff would report a Pedo, not defend them. Right?
@AcridSkull @Y2JayRome @nessisonett "I certainly hope you are all ready for some inclusive Netflix zombies, more progresssive than the biggoted zombies on those other services; twerking child zombies, moaning gay zombies, zombies that identify as women, closeted but sensitive intersectional zombies, non-binary zombie dogs, full-frontal zombie exposure, just stunning and brave zombies of all creeds, a click away from children, and conveniently sharing the same title as that series that was mentioned in that E-rated crossover game with Mario and Samus. Netflix: 'People need to just get used to modern times.'" Have you guys seen Ozark yet? Yay, Netflix. More like, "Netflix: You can't unsee that, can you?"
@tourjeff I hope so, too. When I first found BotW's Forgotten Temple on my first playthrough, I thought it was a temple from the old games and I was so stoked, but too weak to get past the guardians until later. Hours later, I returned, but all that was in there was disappointment.
I blame the localization. Shouldn't have thrown "Temple" around in a Zelda game. "Forgotten Chamber" or "Forgotten Complex" would have been just fine. > : (
If this gets released, I feel like BotW 2 will be have to called "BotW 2" to redeem the series after the confusion for lamens that Skyward Sword is bound to produce. I think if BotW 2 is the "end of an age," though, having as many as possible players in-the-know on the begining of the age makes sense. I like SS well enough. The forest song has been stuck in my head for ten years or something. Remember the Zelda 25th Anniversary music that came with SS? Abosolutely brilliant.
I played Keen 1 and Keen 4 on a Shareware CD from the store. Then when I saw KeenDreams for sale, I got that. I always wanted to play 5, but could never find it. Dreams was on a floppy you had to lead with DOS. There were cheats which I used regularly. The pogo stick was gone in this one, and the raygun was replaced with "pesterballs." I couldn't even beat the first level. The part where you have to climb a pole, but there's a potato soldier at the top. I think he has a bayonette. I'd buy this for nostalgia, but I already remember the base game being very hard, and the controls being, maybe not the most responsive. The guys who added levels may have played it as young kids. That'd be crazy. I wish they'd port the other games over. A side note: Commander Keen was one of my secret wants for Smash. Until they worked him over and ruined his legacy with that trash mobile game. He was on gameboy, man. Gameboy. Why'd they have to do him like that?
This should have been Day 1. Both of these ideas felt necessary from mid-game forward, and seemed to be hinted at by a certain loading screen. I won't play the game until then.
It was shamefully obvious while playing that something has gone wrong in Nintendo's royalties department. Either that or I should be writing concepts instead of these hacks? Nah, it's the weird royalties. Yuck, Nintendo.
No spoilers. I bought it, and I'm disappointed. Seems like a lot of waste. Too much repetition. Some challenges automatically make themselves easier/simpler/patronizing if you fail a time or two. Sometimes too much talking during battles. Battle rules/controls change intermittently without warning. Inconsistent controls in some overworlds. Missed opportunities galore.
I basically won't pay $70. Remember when LoZ:OoT cost $75? Micro transactions are slimy and wreck gaming for me. I want escapism, not being reminded that money exists and I don't have enough. If a game costs so much to make, find a different way to make money. Good DLC: Smash Bros presents a relationship between product and cost. Bad DLC: FFXV Plot was cut out and downloadable as 'chapters' later, which bungled the plot. KH3's DLC came out a year later and contained core elements that should have been day one, plot, characters, sidequests, explorable dinal area, weapons. Base game was bare in places. Beware of Square.
Grinding is when leveling is done loosely or games' xp systems are stingy or imbalanced. Even fixed xp is a better solution than no xp battles. Want to see good fixed xp leveling? Mario + Rabbids is good fixed xp. Battling should be entertaining. It absolutely should, and the xp gains take a fun repeatable mechanic and make it matter dynamically. Mario RPG had very fun battles, or Rainslick Precipice of Darkness, or Xenoblade dx, or FF XV, or KH:CoM, or Ni No Kuni 2, but without xp, they're all full of battles which may as well be avoided. And this is a side note, but games w/o xp and with random encounters are
Games are better with a story. Some complexity is good, too much is risky, none can be good, but can be bad. RPGs should have stories, and games with repetitive battles should have experience and abilities added as you go, IMO.
Costs so much I thought it was an NES classic that came with a fake cart and tv, but a controller and system w/ studs on there. A pro controller w/ studs to build the grips would be cool.
@PSoneboi anytime. I contest the point which declares two sides to an argument. There are three. Your perspective, my perspective, and the truth. Also, revenge does satisfy, but (following the definition of sin) costs you your soul. Only one way around that one, and it's not by not getting revenge. You're right that humanity never reached a height of morality, but I mean that we slide from a time of promotion of morality (my inexact wording). I think our downfall is constant, because I think we're decaying, not progressing. Like if you get a hundred men in a rown and have them pass water down the line in their hands. This is how we recieve knowledge, customs, instruction, legalistic rituals (yuck), philosophies in some cases, history, and politics. If we were to put negative messages in front of fewer people, maybe we'd stem the tide. First amendment says Druckman should be in the clear, though. So, yeah, learning (for me, I mean) is a process. New day, PSone, hope you have a good one. Stay well.
@Losermagnet You are correct. A single voice is typically not convincing (the side argument I'll ignore is how moving a video game can be, like Red Dead Redemption's depiction of disease, because games have more time with us than a movie, and even more than some books). Druckman's a cog in a bigger movement that would see people walking away from their traditional nature to something classicly esoteric... at a likely cost. The lie isn't sold by one man, but if it's told 1000 times, it becomes the truth. People will walk away from what's worked for man for thousands of years. I'm not saying some people don't belong, and I have a large variety of friends. I don't want to pander. I'm not here to tell someone they're living wrongly. Easy way to hurt someone. Not what I want. That said, I'm reffering to the celular family's importance in the raising of a child and the provision of it's benefits for the members said family units. If you believe that a man is not a woman, then consider what value one of each gives a child. I wonder what value is denied mine by my divorce. So, are children denied by families like Druckman promotes? It's a personal decision everyone has to make for themself. Counterparts, I believe men and women are counterparts. There are outliers, people who deserve to be respected and give and take in society (which is what society is, cooperation). Exclusion is inhuman. Most of society has benefited from the celular family, but it was never perfect, as Rome was never perfect, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Cellular family has worked. For imbalance, consider China where girls were killed in favor of name-carrying males. Lonely childless men, in a society where the young classicly cared for their parents. Who will care for China's impending elder glut? Promoting the disruption of society, as Druckman's narrative tends toward, may compliment the destabilizing of society. People who are those outliers, though, deserve respect. Personal-level inclusion is human. Division and strife, lack of communication, is beastly. TL DR Druckman fits a trend that may effect the balance of society's structure in unforseen, yet possibly-predictable ways. You are not an interrupion, Magnet. Glad to hear from you. I may be flagged for speaking my mind, which is too bad, and it's no forgone conclusion that I'm right if I am flagged, but if anyone besides Magnet is reading this, the last thing I want to do is bring you down in a place we all come to enjoy something that gives us all such pleasure. You all stay well out there. May your Joycons never drift.
@nessisonett Well said, in part because a kiss shouldn't be political; that kind of thinking would say a good thing could be distructive (which it can, though, of course; a kiss betrayed Christ). I'd add that Druckman's most ludicrous and pessimistic philosophy promoted here is that man is divided, and will always split into warring factions, pointlessly, under even cataclysmic circumstances. Frankly, regarding propaganda, I'm less concerned with the political statement and more concerned with the moral statement made. Politics unmoored from morality are doomed. Look at the United States. I disagree with you about what qualifies as propaganda, because that the final edge where rhetoric meets the cusp of propaganda is not the depiction of a full-blown homosexual utopia. Successfully implemented propaganda is as soft as a kiss, as warm as a caress, as quiet as a whisper, and so carefully placed that the target won't realize that there was ever any propaganda at all. My gripe isn't with people like you who don't seem to want to hurt anyone. It's with creators like Druckman who abuse their access to a hungry crowd by swapping a platform with a soap box. The most hypocritical is when creators of this magnitude preach about privelage, an irritating display that tactfully Druckman has avoided hitting on the nose by virtue of leading by example in including a variety of characters working together in this game's former instalment. The second chorus here need not scream the lyrics of the first. This is not what I expected to write about today on nintendolife. Thanks for the discussion, Ness.
@NIN10DOXD Sorry if this comes off as personal or contrarian, man, but here: Propaganda - information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view So, the game is biased information about sexual relationships used to promote a particular cause or point of view. tLoUII fits the definition in and of itself, and Druckman debued the lesbian kissing scene on a screen in a church last E3. Seems like he was trying to make particular a statement with that location. You're right that it was a disappointment and not a big deal--you are. I never met a person afraid of characters, though, maybe what they mean to spread and the narrative's effect on impressionable minds, though, and if creating a conflict in people's minds over the definitions of morality and sexual morality in relationships wasn't Drunckman's point, he shouldn't have showed his game in a church, where weddings occur and where morals are formed. Druckman also made insinuations about the "needs" of gamers who bemoan these particular creative decisions. I'm going to stand firm that this was propaganda. I figure sometimes the way thinkers like you and I hear or read words can be subjective. I respect that you disagreed with me, and your argument, and I hope you have a great day.
@nessisonett They're not going broke, probably, but if I still had my PS4, and hadn't sold it to make rent just after KH3 (not a coincidence), I'd have avoided the leaks and bought this thing, too, and I would be out $60 on a sequel I don't like to a game I really liked. Gamestop is going to have to destroy copies to keep the thing sellable.
I will never play tLoUII. I beat tLoU twice on PS4. Beat all the Uncharted games. tLoUII is propaganda, so don't expect me to waste my time on it. The Last Jedi sucked, too, but Rian Johnson's heavy-handed bungling moral reads like sophisticated nuance in comparrison to the failed sequel Druckman's pedaling. The story and characters are repellent. I hope Nintendo doesn't give that clown an inch.
@Antraxx777
POC? That's the name of the new sequel:

For like the first half of this thread, I thought ninoishi was saying "piece of ----."
You know, not crud, but games sites are for kids, too.
Sakurai reading the comments section? The second someone nominated Vault Boy back in 2018, I thought it was a great (and sort of out outside the box) idea.
@unoclay You're right. Luckily, it's only Cartoon Violence and Comic Mischief. Hey, I saw a crowd of protesters a mile or so from my place near the tire store. Signs, loudspeaker, Police tail, the works. Scared me, because those mobs are [partially] dangerous. I think people shouldn't have to sweat their looks. My kids are quarter. My ex was half black, and quarter native. I look like Roy or something, or well, or One Punch these days. Day doesn't go by that I don't wish it could have been different. People can hurt you too deeply. Love gets lost. She went straight to hard drugs after the divorce. Kids, winners don't do drugs. I didn't even recognize her at the last court date. She used to call Mr Game & Watch "Mr Gay Man Watch." How I miss her laugh. Somone else gets to listen to it now. She always felt out of place if she was "token" anywhere, you know? I can't imagine. I try to remember that. I saw Episodes 4, 5, & 6 when the CG remakes came out in the 90s. We got RoTJ on VHS from a donation store before that even. Too bad about episode 8. 9 was fine. When I played the first Kingdom Hearts year of release, I was 18. Five years after that, I was a father. Kids aren't supposed to grow up with one parent, man. When KH3 came out, my son was 11. Nomura waited too long. When is Squeenix going to OK Geno for Smash, man? Life was so much simpler when I was a kid. I wish I could give my kids the childhood I grew up with. And you're right about free speech. People should be able to say whatever they think. That way you know whether they work for Impa or Ganondorf. Thanks for the reply, Unoclay.
@unoclay BLM posted an anti-white billboard in my town in like 2018. I guess that's a way to use money? If Nintendo makes it Barq and Byte... I wouldn't like them more than Minmin or Spingman... but I'd hope people can all agree to settle their arguments over a 3-stock no items on Final D instead of on the streets of major cities. Smash(bros), not flash(mob).
10/15 Missed Sonic, Jill, Isabelle, Yoshi, Roy. I thought Yoshi on NES came out before SMW on SNES, a whole generation later. I guess Nintendo supported both systems for like two years. Weird. Roy's Binding Blade release date is obsessive-level knowledge imo. Congrats to the winners.
@Al_Godoy I hear ya. In hindsight it had problems, but there were a rew levels (or shines or whatever) that make up for the lesser ones. Night at the pianta village, and some of the tankless levels were great. I voted for Mario 3d Land.

I may be flagged for speaking my mind, which is too bad, and it's no forgone conclusion that I'm right if I am flagged, but if anyone besides Magnet is reading this, the last thing I want to do is bring you down in a place we all come to enjoy something that gives us all such pleasure. You all stay well out there. May your Joycons never drift.

Re: Random: The Last Of Us Director Admits He's A Nintendo Fan In Podcast With Reggie Fils-Aimé
@nessisonett Well said, in part because a kiss shouldn't be political; that kind of thinking would say a good thing could be distructive (which it can, though, of course; a kiss betrayed Christ). I'd add that Druckman's most ludicrous and pessimistic philosophy promoted here is that man is divided, and will always split into warring factions, pointlessly, under even cataclysmic circumstances. Frankly, regarding propaganda, I'm less concerned with the political statement and more concerned with the moral statement made. Politics unmoored from morality are doomed. Look at the United States. I disagree with you about what qualifies as propaganda, because that the final edge where rhetoric meets the cusp of propaganda is not the depiction of a full-blown homosexual utopia. Successfully implemented propaganda is as soft as a kiss, as warm as a caress, as quiet as a whisper, and so carefully placed that the target won't realize that there was ever any propaganda at all. My gripe isn't with people like you who don't seem to want to hurt anyone. It's with creators like Druckman who abuse their access to a hungry crowd by swapping a platform with a soap box. The most hypocritical is when creators of this magnitude preach about privelage, an irritating display that tactfully Druckman has avoided hitting on the nose by virtue of leading by example in including a variety of characters working together in this game's former instalment. The second chorus here need not scream the lyrics of the first. This is not what I expected to write about today on nintendolife. Thanks for the discussion, Ness.
Re: Random: The Last Of Us Director Admits He's A Nintendo Fan In Podcast With Reggie Fils-Aimé
@NIN10DOXD Sorry if this comes off as personal or contrarian, man, but here:
Propaganda - information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view
So, the game is biased information about sexual relationships used to promote a particular cause or point of view.
tLoUII fits the definition in and of itself, and Druckman debued the lesbian kissing scene on a screen in a church last E3. Seems like he was trying to make particular a statement with that location.
You're right that it was a disappointment and not a big deal--you are. I never met a person afraid of characters, though, maybe what they mean to spread and the narrative's effect on impressionable minds, though, and if creating a conflict in people's minds over the definitions of morality and sexual morality in relationships wasn't Drunckman's point, he shouldn't have showed his game in a church, where weddings occur and where morals are formed. Druckman also made insinuations about the "needs" of gamers who bemoan these particular creative decisions. I'm going to stand firm that this was propaganda. I figure sometimes the way thinkers like you and I hear or read words can be subjective. I respect that you disagreed with me, and your argument, and I hope you have a great day.

@nessisonett They're not going broke, probably, but if I still had my PS4, and hadn't sold it to make rent just after KH3 (not a coincidence), I'd have avoided the leaks and bought this thing, too, and I would be out $60 on a sequel I don't like to a game I really liked. Gamestop is going to have to destroy copies to keep the thing sellable.
Re: Random: The Last Of Us Director Admits He's A Nintendo Fan In Podcast With Reggie Fils-Aimé
I will never play tLoUII. I beat tLoU twice on PS4. Beat all the Uncharted games. tLoUII is propaganda, so don't expect me to waste my time on it. The Last Jedi sucked, too, but Rian Johnson's heavy-handed bungling moral reads like sophisticated nuance in comparrison to the failed sequel Druckman's pedaling. The story and characters are repellent. I hope Nintendo doesn't give that clown an inch.

Anybody beat the final Spirit in Min Min's Spirit Board (I don't want to spoil it). Super hard imo.

@Jooles_95 I didn't know. Thanks a million. I was really disappointed. Now I'm not. I'll check out Story of Seasons.

@Antraxx777
POC? That's the name of the new sequel:
Legend of Zelda: Person of Color
For like the first half of this thread, I thought ninoishi was saying "piece of ----."
You know, not crud, but games sites are for kids, too.

Sakurai reading the comments section? The second someone nominated Vault Boy back in 2018, I thought it was a great (and sort of out outside the box) idea.
Re: Square Enix Officially Confirms Kingdom Hearts: Melody Of Memory For The West
I've been thinking: Can we get a Derezzed boss battle from the KHDDD? I'd even buy a rythm game for that.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's ARMS Fighter Will Be Revealed In Livestream Next Week
@unoclay You're right. Luckily, it's only Cartoon Violence and Comic Mischief. Hey, I saw a crowd of protesters a mile or so from my place near the tire store. Signs, loudspeaker, Police tail, the works. Scared me, because those mobs are [partially] dangerous. I think people shouldn't have to sweat their looks. My kids are quarter. My ex was half black, and quarter native. I look like Roy or something, or well, or One Punch these days. Day doesn't go by that I don't wish it could have been different. People can hurt you too deeply. Love gets lost. She went straight to hard drugs after the divorce. Kids, winners don't do drugs. I didn't even recognize her at the last court date. She used to call Mr Game & Watch "Mr Gay Man Watch." How I miss her laugh. Somone else gets to listen to it now. She always felt out of place if she was "token" anywhere, you know? I can't imagine. I try to remember that. I saw Episodes 4, 5, & 6 when the CG remakes came out in the 90s. We got RoTJ on VHS from a donation store before that even. Too bad about episode 8. 9 was fine. When I played the first Kingdom Hearts year of release, I was 18. Five years after that, I was a father. Kids aren't supposed to grow up with one parent, man. When KH3 came out, my son was 11. Nomura waited too long. When is Squeenix going to OK Geno for Smash, man? Life was so much simpler when I was a kid. I wish I could give my kids the childhood I grew up with. And you're right about free speech. People should be able to say whatever they think. That way you know whether they work for Impa or Ganondorf. Thanks for the reply, Unoclay.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's ARMS Fighter Will Be Revealed In Livestream Next Week
@unoclay BLM posted an anti-white billboard in my town in like 2018. I guess that's a way to use money? If Nintendo makes it Barq and Byte... I wouldn't like them more than Minmin or Spingman... but I'd hope people can all agree to settle their arguments over a 3-stock no items on Final D instead of on the streets of major cities. Smash(bros), not flash(mob).
Re: Can You Name The First Game These Famous Characters Appeared In?
10/15 Missed Sonic, Jill, Isabelle, Yoshi, Roy. I thought Yoshi on NES came out before SMW on SNES, a whole generation later. I guess Nintendo supported both systems for like two years. Weird. Roy's Binding Blade release date is obsessive-level knowledge imo. Congrats to the winners.
Re: Poll: Which Remastered Mario Games Would You Pick For A 'Super Mario All-Stars 2'?
@Al_Godoy I hear ya. In hindsight it had problems, but there were a rew levels (or shines or whatever) that make up for the lesser ones. Night at the pianta village, and some of the tankless levels were great. I voted for Mario 3d Land.
