Re: Rumour: EA Is Planning On Reviving An "Established IP"

SakuraHaruka

I wonder what it will be; I would like a classic NFS or Burnout, but obviously they are still current; I would say Sim City, however, there is a mobile version, so I doubt it, but it would be good to see a return (sorry 2013, you unfortunately do not count as good ...);
Perhaps the Spin off of The Sims: My Sims, that, yes, it has years that there is nothing new from them, and I have looked forward to their return.
But, well, as mentioned, there are more EA games that many people want to return (Mass Effect, Dead Space), and well, we just have to wait what that franchise is.

Re: Soapbox: Pokémon Legends: Arceus' Release Date Worries Me, But Hopefully I'm Wrong

SakuraHaruka

I apologize for saying it, but seriously there is still a lot of sadly 'pathetic' resentment to Game Freak, yes, Game Freak is the main developer, and they are not released from their responsibility for the results of the games, but they create all the characters and Pokémon, they develop the history of each region and the theme with the whole world of Pokémon, they have a lot of work and need time, time that they do not get thanks to the launch windows that other 2 companies, Nintendo and The Pokemon company, have in control.
or do not remember that Pokemon shield and sword was planned to come out together with Animal Crossing, however, Nintendo knowing the development situation of both games, Animal crossing was the only beneficiary of suffering a delay which was beneficial and we saw the results, in Instead, Pokemon ended up paying the cost of being rushed, a price that people cruelly blame on Game Freak, and for me that is very unfair.

I hope that this new Pokémon proposal is not overshadowed by bad decisions from the companies and the cruelty of the fans ...

But, well, I will not discuss more why unfortunately, and I apologize for saying it, but on this subject, people are 'stubborn' to talk (well, in several), so I will not say more.

Re: Soapbox: Game Genres Are Broken

SakuraHaruka

The definition of the genres in games, as mentioned, and obviously, to define the type of game it is, from racing, fighting, life simulator, puzzles, etc, etc .; from there can come the so-called sub-genres (which can be the same "main" genres) and now, the new words to give "new" sub-genres in specific or rather, "as people know it"

The idea is clear, simply to search for a game and know if that game is what you are really looking for.

Here, my example, I like the racing genre, so obviously the games with "that" label "are the ones that I will mainly look for"; now, however, we have thousands of games of that and despite my favorite genre, "no" all They are to my liking, so I use what I mention "sub-genre", in this case, I would mention: arcade; with this I discard several (such as Gran Turismo and Forza, which are good games, but not my priorities), without However, in the arcade list, many are still not to my liking, so I return to more "sub-genres" or "" filters "", in that case, "car-racing", and from there, "illegal racing", "pursuits", "racing with civil traffic." Therefore, the game (or games) in question would be Need For Speed, Test Drive, Burnout, Asphalt; these games have everything I am looking for in this genre, and despite others Games like Ridge Racer or Horizon chase fulfill part of what I am looking for, they are not the games that I have in mind; and well, as you can see, a game that I am looking for would be of several labels and well there is no shorter tag name for this, such as "metroidvania", which, despite being a modern "tag" and does not match the standard tag (and from the looks of it, it is not the taste of many people ), at least, for many people it covers many points and they already have games that definitely fit those ideas, in other words, if they say that this game has that label, it is already very assured that for many people, that game is what they are looking for without having to see more details

...
In summary, if I am looking for a game like Need For Speed, what tags / genres should I see and use to find it?, but do not tell me that games like Ridge racer, Gran Turismo or Horizon chase are the ones I am looking for because they are NOT, even though they all belong to the same main gender (Racing)

Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages

SakuraHaruka

@RiasGremory
Not so many discussions that freedom of expression is the "freedom" to give an opinion (of course with responsibility and with respect to others) without receiving aggression, censorship and insults?
He gave an opinion, a point of view, something that you simply may or may not agree to, and if you do not agree, you simply talk to him or you end the discussion (ignore him).
Is this attitude really necessary?

Re: Former Metroid Prime Lead Designer Targeted With Abusive Messages

SakuraHaruka

@nessisonett
I remember that when the anger of the fans for Pokemon Sword and Shield was the peak, when there was the note/news that Junichi Masuda received attacks even on his birthday that he published on twitter, some people (dialed fans) hypocritically said that "He deserved it" and why was he on social networks knowing that "that was going to happen to him because ""yes"""; seriously, is that correct?, they are fans?

At the end of the day, it is not worth it, will be games / franchises that many of us love and here, "here", we talk about games, but seriously, they are no longer worth it when we treat the people behind those games badly for "issues" that , I repeat it again, THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT; Being aggressive and rude is not worth it, and excuse me for saying it, someone who reaches that point does not deserve to be called a fan.

Re: Video: Why Do We Buy And Collect Retro Video Games?

SakuraHaruka

Well, yes, nostalgia is something that motivates us to play once again those games that are already left behind, but for good reasons something in them motivates us in our memories.
As mentioned here, the other fact is that, for some of us, many new games no longer attract us, whatever the reason (including that they do not make us as good as before).
The point is, playing those old games reminds us of when we first played them and the beautiful memories we carry back then, and will continue nowadays.

For example, for me, and I had already mentioned it on another occasion. As a fan of Need For Speed, recent games have not been to my total liking, I am not saying that they are bad, however, many things in them have not pleased me no matter how much I play them ..., and when I remember the NFS of The 90's, maybe graphically and in other things they look "relic" XD, but the soundtrack, the commitment that the developers had in those games, I really miss all that and I do not deny it, that from time to time I look on YouTube to see and listen to those classics, since sadly, playing those currently is too complicated if not impossible ...

Oh well, really the Nostalgia is something.

Re: Anniversary: Mother 3 For Game Boy Advance Is Now 15 Years Old

Famicom detective club were also not designed for the West, if I remember correctly, the text boxes were also designed for Japanese writing, and they could fix that for the remakes.
In addition, those games, if I remember correctly, talk about a murder of a young girl, and being an investigation and mystery game (since I have not played it), I think, it can have moments not pleasant for a certain audience.

Re: Anniversary: Mother 3 For Game Boy Advance Is Now 15 Years Old

SakuraHaruka

@VoidofLight
Very probably, but, recently we received the original Panel de Pon (Tetris Attack) and soon we will receive the remakes of Famicom Tantei Detective club, games that very, but very few people think in play them here in the west, then, why not still keep the hope that this game (mother 3) will come some day?

Re: Best Game Boy / Game Boy Color RPGs

SakuraHaruka

Ah, Memories with Mario Tennis and Mario Golf, I liked that story behind of the Tennis Academy / Golf Club, the main character and the Mushroom Kingdom and obviously, the connection with the N64 versions.

Pokémon, what would I say?, classics that many here, we started with this franchise.

Survival kids, this hidden gem from Konami really I liked a lot, really a survival game, that, though of it cute desing, its very cruel when you don't take seriously the topic of "survival", many game over I get it and never completed the real ending.
I hope that a remake could appear, but, well, another game in my wish list of games that I would like to revivir today

Re: Video: Pokémon Fan "Fixes" Diamond And Pearl Remakes With This Slick Concept Trailer

SakuraHaruka

@Miu
The toxicity of people is because each person wants things the way one wants, and if they don't get it, they get unhappy and worse, they annoy those who don't have to listen to their tantrums, and with the internet and the "dial" "Freedom of speech" has increased that toxicity.

If the Internet in those years had been like it is today, probably many games that are famous today would not exist because of those toxic opinions ...

Now, of course, we have the right to give an opinion, and give the points of why we do not like something, because that is normal and we all do it, but one thing is to give that opinion without annoying and another is to seek to be listened to regardless if you become annoying and toxic ...

Re: Spoiler Alert, The Next Pokémon Games Have Leaked

SakuraHaruka

Not to offend and sorry, but some people look bad celebrating that Game Freak does not develop the remakes (sure, according to rumors), but, oh well...

Now, however, one thing is true, if the rumors are true, and Game Freak is developing a new game, then I support the idea of another company developing the remakes, since it is a lot of pressure to develop both games, and well, that Game Freak already originally developed Diamond and Pearl, and finally, that the new game is for 2022, supports that game have a better development and not something rushed as happened with Shield and Sword.

@Doktor-Mandrake
everyone may to buy the game they want on the platform they want and it is available to them, even if they have bought it before, and you have to be respectful.

Also, as I mentioned, I buy those games again because they offer me something that the Wii U does not offer me, play them everywhere and anytime, however I can continue to enjoy them on my Wii U, because I want to, and that is my business.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?

SakuraHaruka

As I have said before: I expect something new, but at the same time I do not expect anything and my life is easy, because it does not frustrate me if there is no new game for me and if there is, it is very well received; Also, if there isn't something that I like, that's fine, since maybe for others it's something they expected and that's very good, I shouldn't be frustrated by that and incidentally, there will be more announcements ahead, just to keep waiting ^^

I'm fine with what they announced and I'm interested in Mario Golf, DC hero girls and some others, and well, as always, I was expecting an F Zero, My Sims, a new Cruin's, Sim City, until GTA, but that's fine, still There is time and I know that in any future they will announce them, but in the meantime, to continue enjoying what there is, and there is much games to enjoy ^^

Re: Rumour: Hidden File Suggests Toadette Was Planned As A Playable Character In Super Mario 3D World

SakuraHaruka

I also would have liked Toadette, Daisy and Yoshi to be included; If they have already appeared as playable characters in New Mario Bros and Mario Run (yes, the one for mobiles), they could have considered them.
However, I think at one point some levels could have been redesigned to include them or made new ones, for their abilities, but I think the efforts were for the expansion game .
Maybe they are already considered for a future 3D world 2, if this game has a great success (How it looks now) then, it's very probable a 3D world 2
