Sorry but I know not what you speak. The only thing I'm playing next is the next game on my list. In fact I make a point to avoid "simple" or "relaxing" type games altogether because I feel like they just slow me down.
This is a must-buy for me. I always wanted a more faithful remake of the early Tomb Raider games. The "Tomb Raider Anniversary" remake they did back on the PS2 was pretty good but they changed too much.
I wouldn't call Jack Move a "must play." It's nice to look at, but it's pretty basic gameplay-wise and it's pretty short too. There are no additional party members just the one character, and combat pretty much boils down to matching the right color. It's not a bad game, I had fun with it, but must play? Hardly.
Anyway I think the elephant is a little TOO silly, even for a Mario game. Not a fan of it myself, but it wont stop me from playing this game.
I mean... it's supposed to be a suit that he wears, not a full on transformation. That's usually what Mario is about. Not a big deal, but it does seem off.
Picked up Bayonetta Origins for 40 bucks at Walmart, so that. It must have sold pretty poorly if it's already 40 dollars, which is a shame because it's really good so far!
Still on the fence about this one. I sort of have hangups about these "spiritual sequel" types games and I usually try to avoid them. I just don't like the idea of a company making money off another game's legacy. There's a big difference between being inspired by another game, and just blatantly ripping it off.
Yes, happened with my copy of Hyrule Warriors. Only mine had no wrapping AT ALL. It was just the box, no game. Thankfully I sent it back and Amazon sent me another copy, no hassle.
@theModestMouse If you broke into the artist's home and made a copy of his painting and showed it to everyone, when he didn't want anyone to see it, that's still a form of stealing. Again, we don't know WHY he wants this, and it sucks, but you still went against his wishes and violated his privacy.
@Sputnik_Corner I don't know why they don't want us to play their old games, but if they don't, for whatever reason, then we need to respect that. We shouldn't just say, "Nah, I'm gonna do it anyway."
If an artist makes a painting and decides he doesn't want to show it to anyone, that's his prerogative. Doesn't give you the right to break into his home and steal it.
Dragon Quest is my Pokemon. It's that RPG I get super hyped about in the same way Pokemon fans get hyped about a new Pokemon. What's cool about DQ is even though the games are super long and arduous, they don't come out very often so you have plenty of time to finish them before the next one drops.
I thought the first game was okay, not bad, not amazing, just okay. Like I thought it was weird that you could get elemental attacks, but none of the enemies had any elemental weaknesses. It was basically for show.
Just let it go. You thought it was cool at the time because you were a kid and you never saw racing hover cars before and you thought it was cool. But a new F-Zero game WILL NOT have the same impact on you. Also the graphics were cutting-edge at the time, which they wouldn't be now. Nintendo used F-Zero to show off their hardware capabilities. But those days are over, graphics don't really blow our minds anymore, and so a new F-Zero isn't really needed.
I've always thought every character should turn gold when they go Super (yes, even Knuckles). I don't understand why different characters turn different colors it doesn't make sense.
You gotta love the double standards though. Nobody bats an eye when anime characters have ridiculous, nonsense hairstyles (Cloud Strife, anyone?), but this guy's hair is too much for you?
Japanese one looks like it would be more appropriate for the instruction manual or something, or maybe a nice poster for your wall that comes with the game. Western one is just a better box art.

Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
I personally don't need it. If I wanted to play old games, I wouldn't be buying a NEW system.
Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
@AlphaElite If those "fewer features" meant cheaper price point, for something I don't really need, then I'm all for it, yes.

They should have remake the first one, it needs it more.

Re: Miyamoto Wasn't A Big Fan Of Super Mario Bros. Wonder's Early Elephant Design
Yeah this looks more like a Shantae thing not a Mario thing.

Re: Soapbox: Red Dead Redemption Ignited My Enduring Love Of The Old West
You just like the fake, romanticized version of the old west. The real old west was racist, sexist, effed up and there were no heroes.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mega Man 7
I chose Japanese just because Mega Man looks more like he's supposed to look, but I'm not crazy about it either.

Weird name but looks pretty fun. I'm getting Sonic vibes.
Re: Toree 3D And Super Kiwi 64 Developer Teases "Next Game"
Didn't they also make Lunistice? Never played any of the Toree games but I thought Lunistice was really good, I hope it's a sequel to that.

All joking aside, game looks amazing and I can't wait to play it on the go.

People who hate hip-hop just ain't got no rhythm that's all.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
I don't see what the big deal is, characters change all the time, Bayonetta had a different hairstyle every game, so what's the issue here?
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Ubisoft's Metroidvania "Inspired" Prince Of Persia Platformer?
@N8tiveT3ch
But Link and Samus HAVE changed, especially Link. Link has undergone many artistic changes over the years.
