Re: The Game Awards GOTY Is The Last Of Us Part 2

I dislike games like The Last of Us 2. As a medium videogames are capable of delivering storytelling in ways that aren't possible anywhere else, and TLOU2 barely takes advantage of it. Yet the games industry is so incestuous they'll always applaud the loudest for the AAA Hollywood shooty gun game. Oh, working conditions at Naughty Dog? Don't worry about that, look at those pretty graphics! Yawn. Nintendo really dropped the ball with Animal Crossing but at least that game has charm.

Re: Smash Comp The Big House Cancelled After Cease And Desist From Nintendo

@Heavyarms55 Capcom releases its old SF games with online functionality on practically every console it can get its hands on. There's no world where a tournament organiser would be incentivised to use pirated copies. Nintendo always resists putting its Gamecube era games on newer consoles; legalities aside the bigger picture indicates a services problem.

Re: Feature: Every 3D Super Mario Game Ranked

Super Mario Odyssey has the best movement in any game I have EVER played, period. Aside from that... it doesn't do anything for me. Anyone feel the same? I dunno, save a few exceptions (Metro, Luncheon, Wooded) the Kingdoms were so uninspired or lacklustre. The mission objectives were all too easy or just plain boring. I like the sandbox style Mario game fine, just feel as if they did absolutely nothing with the concept.

Re: Random: Sega Joins Up With Hooters To Promote Sonic Forces In Japan

@Snow-Dust Hardly. The game's development cycle isn't rushed, the story might be too serious for its own good but doesn't seem to deviate to creepy levels, and the gameplay is using the tried and tested boost formula, that was praised in Unleashed, Colours and Generations. It's not going to set any records on Metacritic but so far the game looks passable. Please get off the bandwagon.

The leak was true it seems, which probably means no Alm effectively making this Waifu Emblem. Oh well, I'll take what I can get in terms of non FE13/14 representation.

@Derpenstein "What this game needs is two bad characters from Awakening" No.

EDIT: ok make that one bad character from awakening and a good character, don't browse NL before your morning coffee
