Meh, I'm no longer a hipster in my 20s, I really don't care anymore. A part of me wants to think it's a Japanese thing, like some cultural difference on how they define "art."
How do you make something hip-hop related without being cringe? Just make it silly and colorful. I think what made Parappa work was that it was so goofy and didn't take itself seriously. It was a creative way of bringing hip-hop to videogames without making anyone uncomfortable. I miss the days when gaming was bursting with creativity and innovation.
I don't know why — It's a personal thing — but I just can't bring myself to play stuff like this. It just screams "off-brand cereal" lol. Couldn't play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk either. There's just something weirdly gross and cash-grabby about the whole practice to me.
Well me personally, I never buy the first version of any console, I always wait for the better version that comes out a couple years later. So I won't be an early adopter, but it's cool, I have pleny of games to tide me over in the meantime.
@N00BiSH How many Mega Man games are there? Why do we need another one? If you need your Mega Man fix, go play one of the several hundred that already exist. Bring back Maximo.
I know I'm in the minority here but I really don't like this version of Knuckles. For one, Knuckles isn't supposed to be all buddy-buddy with Sonic and Tails. I mean, he's cool with them, but Knuckles is more of a loner in the games; he's not hanging around all the time. He's not chilling with them in weird restaurants. I don't like his voice either and his personality is off. I like this Shodow though and I'll still see the film, but man, they dropped the ball with Knux imo.
Palworld fans are obnoxious. They never cared about the monster taming genre until somebody added guns and animal abuse. They only like Palworld because it blatantly rips off Pokemon and they see it as them "sticking it" to Nintendo, then have the nerve to act all "how dare you" about the lawsuit. Obnoxious.
@fenlix
Final Fantasy also gets that a lot. When it comes out it gets rave reviews, then like a year later everyone talks about how overrated it is, lol.
Game freaking rocks. I downloaded it on an absolute whim, I saw the trailer on the eshop, thought it looked pretty cool and decided to try it. It has some jank but I'm loving this game.
What annoys me are the people who act like censorship is some new thing that just started recently. Back in the day games like this rarely came to the west at all because they were too risque. At least we get the games now.
Dragon Quest Treasures, finally got around to it. I'm having a blast so far, weird that I never really hear anyone talk about this game, I think it's great.
Didn't like CrossCode. Didn't like the combat system and this looks a little too similar for my liking. So as stunning as it looks visually, probably gonna have to pass on this.
I remember seeing this mofo at the video store all the time when I was a kid, and always wanted to try it, but there was always something else I wanted a little bit more, so I never did (we were only allowed to rent one game at a time).
The Rocket Knight collection, I'm currently waiting for my copy to arrive in the mail. Haven't played them since the '90s and I'm kinda worried they won't be as fun as I remember.
Some people don't care about the politics, all they see is a solid game. Some people never played it on 3DS so to them, it's new. Please don't speak for everyone; everybody's gaming experience is different. Just because you played the game before and don't think it's worth $60 doesn't mean everyone has.
Eh, comes off more as "dollar store knockoff" than "inspired love letter." Characters look goofy and uninspired. And is it all dogfights? It's been a while since I've played Skies, but I'm pretty sure there was hand-to-hand combat as well.
Only if you've played the game before. On their own, these are very much $60-tier games in terms of quality. So, you just have to make up your own mind.
He's absolutely right and this is why I hate boss battles in general. I really wish videogames would do away with them. They're all the same and just plain not fun.
Look a new "edgy," gun-toting anti-hero. Usually I cringe, but she actually looks fun and I always thought Pablo was a little on the plain side. I enjoyed the first game so I'll def check this out.
If Nintendo decided to never release another console, I honestly wouldn't blame them. They've proven everything already, they have nothing else to prove. You want amazing graphics and huge worlds, you have 2 other consoles to choose from. Honestly what can Nintendo really bring to that space that hasn't been done already?
I thought I was the only one who was having this problem lol. I thought 2024 would be the year I could finally catch up on my backlog, yet the Switch is still dropping bangers.
Man between this, Berserk Boy, Penny's Breakaway and even Princess Peach, I've been having a blast so far with my favorite genre on Switch this year, and it's still early!
I played the first one just for laughs, and while it was clearly aimed at a younger audience, it wasn't a "bad" game by any means. Fully voiced, animated cutscenes, smooth and responsive controls. The gameplay was basically fetch quests and mini games, but wasn't terrible. for what it was, I enjoyed it.
Meh, no thanks. While I haven't played them all, I never really cared for the mini games in Mario. I don't care for mini games in general, tbh. The only one I ever liked was the card game in Final Fantasy 8.

I don't buy DLC, never have, never will. In my opinion if it wasn't good enough for the main game then it's not that important.
