Tough to pick one, but I went with 1997 for FF7 and SOTN. MMX4 came out that year, as well as Crash 2, FFT, Tekken 3...all games that were pushing the industry forward. Sorry Nintendo
@Uncle_Franklin Well, it’s still misguided, whether you thought it yourself or not. It’s mildly humorous that you think having a child is without sacrifice lol
@Uncle_Franklin Procreating isn’t inherently selfish, who on earth taught you that misguided idea? The urge to procreate is often times hormonal first, and social second. It’s a beautiful and natural act for perpetuating the lives of all species. The inherent nature of procreation is to create new life.
@theModestMouse There are more people in the world than just influencers that would buy a chair like this, and they all happen to be real, living, breathing people lol. Strange comment.
Zircon, those things you sell in Symphony of the Night. Interesting. Hopefully they do a remaster on all platforms, or at the very least just make a good port. Definitely interested.
@StarryCiel For me, it was hard proof that linearity in a Metroid game wasn’t good for the foundations the series is known for. The story was also cringe, hopefully they stray away from that crap in future installments. Zero Mission is the superior title from the GBA era.
@Yosher Depends. Say they gain control of your console and you decide to go AFK, they could start to delete things, run malicious software and brick your system, make a bunch of expensive purchases on the eShop...stuff like that. It’s not something you may even become immediate aware of if they use tools to run things in the background. It’s not like they are going to take control of your console and then run your Mario off a cliff and lul. I highly recommend you do a couple of quick google searches about what is possible during a remote control exploit, and learn how to prevent something like that from happening. Imagine if you don’t understand it while using a PC; the results could be devastating.
@GreenNinja500 I dunno. These things tend to take a long time to make nowadays. I think since we just got Metroid Prime, that’s a good mainline title, no?
I think it would be more important to see what Nintendo is like after the current wave of investors and top execs get replaced, but I get it. Gotta milk Miyamoto in the name of the click.
@SBandy1 So on Tuesday, the 21st, Msoft continued to push for the merge w/Activision, which is the publisher for Call of Duty, last I checked. Either way, the fact they signed a 10-year deal with N is telling of the end result. It's both baffling and immensely amusing that people are having such a negative reaction to all this.
You get to play CoD while you poop, now. We are only going further into the depths of peak modern gaming. Everyone be happy ffs.
@Smug43 ....None of those things you mentioned are forced or required by any player to enjoy the game, though. If it was forced or tied to progression, I would agree with you, but as it currently stands, that's simply not the case.
@AstroTheGamosian So buckle down on the food and water, and don't worry about the other meaningless stuff. Remember, it takes another person to buy from a scalper for them to even matter. When a person becomes overcome by impatience or greed, they'll pay any price for that thing they want. Can't really legislate that!
@AstroTheGamosian That would be an utter waste of tax-payer dollars, time, and effort. They're scalping games, not food. Jesus Christ, look how dramatic articles like this can make people feel...
@Yosher I get you, I overreacted too. Scalpers are people, too. At least in this case, they are just nabbing a video game and not some necessary commodity like food/water. Then I'd agree with you lol
@Yosher It’s honestly disgusting that you would suggest violence against another person over the most petty thing possible, either in jest or if you really mean it.
2) REGARDLESS of if your game is 100% finished yet, release it. The people you got from step 1 will be your beta testers, AND fund your post-launch support.
3) Wait for "complaints" from your beta testers who paid for your game to report what bugs exist in your release.
4) Patch the game based on step 3, repeat as necessary.
This is modern gaming, in a nutshell. The cycle is NOT exclusive to remasters, though a shoddy one does point towards the issue.
Everything is early access until it's received post-launch patches. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this.
@SirCarbs Whenever I see, “most people” that usually means a couple of YouTube personalities. I don’t think a large majority of people are clamoring to play this outdated mess.

Give me SC2 in any way, shape or form. Don’t need it for Link, since Mitsurugi is my main.
Re: When Does The 3DS And Wii U eShop Close? Nintendo eShop Closure Guide
Brace yourselves for the Switch closure. Make regular backups of the games you love.
Remember that this company loves your money but doesn’t love providing long term service.
At least Steam and GOG doesn’t do this nonsense!

Such a good game, preserved on Steam

Re: Review: Herman Miller X Logitech G Vantum Gaming Chair - Is It Worth It?
@LXP8 I would add that getting a standing desk converter is a good idea as well, so you can alternate between sitting and standing.

@EarthboundBenjy @Zuljaras There isn’t a romhack for Ecclesia that removes the need for the touch screen. That only exists for Dawn of Sorrow.
Re: SoulCalibur's Classic Games Are Rumoured To Be Getting Remastered
Soul Calibur 2, please. I want that bad-boy on PC again, with roll-back netcode for multiplayer.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
They’re not only re-using assets, but charging $70? No. They’re doing this because they know people can’t say “no” to a new Zelda game.

@dew12333 They shut down shops because it’s no longer in their interest to spend money on their continued maintenance.

Re: Microsoft Wants To Bring The "Best Version" Of Call Of Duty To Nintendo Platforms

There was a Pokemon presents? Are they doing multi-pokemon battles with parties similar to Dragon Quest games, yet?

The first game was gorgeous but boring. Great soundtrack, might check that out in the sequel, at least
Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
Stir the pot with another scalper article!
Re: Talking Point: Why Are So Many Remasters Sub-Par At Launch?
Games industry in a few short steps:
1) Get everyone on the hype train.
2) REGARDLESS of if your game is 100% finished yet, release it. The people you got from step 1 will be your beta testers, AND fund your post-launch support.
3) Wait for "complaints" from your beta testers who paid for your game to report what bugs exist in your release.

@DTFaux Legends is really bad, though. Nostalgia goggles blind people to it’s horrendous flaws.
