Re: Soapbox: Monster Hunter Rise Is The Perfect Hybrid Game

Realness

I played last night and, I’m trash. I wanted to use the switch-axe, but soon figured out that I’m wildly inept at it. I refuse to accept defeat though. After (barely) taking down my 1st monster, i felt compelled to become better. I’m blaming the button configuration though. I kept sheathing my weapon when I wanted to swing, mistaking B for jump and the like. It is a good game. I just suck

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #80 - Resident Evil

Realness

At 1st I thought Japan and then I swung to NA. I like that it lets you know exactly what you’re getting into. It’s like the box is saying, “Wondering what’s this game’s about..?
This.
Any questions?”

Re: Nintendo Wants To Know What You Think About The Demo For Square Enix's New Tactical RPG

Realness

It’s not my genre of choice, but I love the artwork, so I gave it a try.
It’s very wordy (which in a game like this, is probably supposed to be)
Appropriate music.
The gameplay seemed immediately convoluted. I knew I wasn’t playing in my genre comfort zone, once I saw all the menus.
I prefer Octopath Travelers’s delivery.
I won’t talk trash about this game. It’s just not for me. I wonder for people that prefer this genre, do THEY think this is good. I’m interested...

Re: EA Acquires Racing Game Specialist Codemasters

Realness

@Ryu_Niiyama I felt I was being generous with my two year mark. Although, your guess does seem more realistic. The EA factor makes me assume the worst. I’ll stick to my guns. Two years and I’m coming to collect those additional 10 gold rupees too.

Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually

Realness

Nope. No it’s not. SS was the first and only Zelda game that I rushed to complete. Just so I could be done with it and trade it in. Post-haste. The washed out color palette, horrendous music, regurgitated boss battle, lame power ups and a final battle with a character I can only describe as half Street Fighter Akuma/half Super Saiyan. Of all the Zelda games I’ve played and completed, this one ranks supreme as the worst. ( to me )

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th January (Europe)

Olija and “maybe” Sword of the Necromancer for me. Waiting on reviews for the latter. I want to check out Ryza, but the last one didn’t do it for me. Probably down the road I’ll give this one a shot

Re: Video: 11 Exciting New Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In December

Realness

Probably Nintendo’s least interesting holiday line up, in a very long time. True, there are couple good ones on that list, to be be sure. But man, ugh...
Also, something I’ve noticed in the last couple of weeks... the deafening silence that is Bayonetta 3. Not. A. Peep. I have my unsubstantiated theory on that quiet noise. That being, they’re saving it for a cross gen upgrade to the new Switch. Just a prediction. That I hope is true.

Re: Review: Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered - A Racer From A More Innocent Time

Also of note ( and not mentioned in the review ): the soundtrack is horrendous. Good lord, I bought this on Xbox and thank god I did. Custom soundtracks saved the day here. Every song is bad grunge-rock. Like the DJ is only playing songs his friends made in Garage Band. It’s bad. If I didn’t have an option to change the music, i would’ve returned it. Seriously, as a joke/test, I put on the instrumental to Prodigy’s Fire Starter... well, I kept the game because of it.
