Re: Reminder: Disney Speedstorm Is Finally Free-To-Play On Switch

Well played it for awhile...it's pretty trash lol. Feel bad for the folks they duped into paying full price for a pay to win knockoff kart racer.

Horrible small character pool at $15 a pop, has the UI of a mobile game. The musical not bad at least.

I did find it amusing that if you don't finish an online match, it doesn't exist the game or anything, you'll just be sitting there alone on the track when you come back lol.

@Rykdrew Speaking the truth.

Bring back actual difficulty and I'll care. You can finish most Mario games while half asleep these days so there's no satisfaction in doing anything in them when literal 5 year olds can do just as well they're so easy.

And they go back to destroy...every..barrel..in this video lol. It's not an RPG yo, there's no point breaking everything for coins you can't use on anything

Re: Time Extension And Lost In Cult Are Joining Forces For 'The Console Chronicles'

Another one? Not sure what else there is to say that isn't in the hundred other books/documentaries.

@Not_Soos You realize inclusivity is just extra credit for sites like this right? It's a selling point, not something they hold near and dear. Check out IGNs review of Blue beetle. Gushing about the Latino representation in the film, hardly talks about the movie. ✅ them boxes.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask

Ahh I can see why you've conveniently left out the review scores on this article haha. When it's 5/10s and such, doesn't look good on Nintendough, so leave those out when usually you've got the 8s (which just means 'pretty decent' these days) in bold at top.

I think the useful information in some of these are things like "I’m still playing a game that feels like it’s going to shatter at any moment …".

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 23rd)

Tried playing that new Avatar: Quest for Balance game for about an hour but I'm pretty certain it was originally a mobile game ported over to sell for $50 because it's baaaad. It even has those Subway Surfer style three lane mobile game levels in it.

Evolings is pretty disappointing. Very repetitive fast

Back to Overwatch for me.

Re: Soapbox: FOMO Nearly Ruined Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom For Me

SteamEngenius

Weird..never heard of someone experiencing FOMO from feeling compelled to talk about it on social media with strangers...?

Sooo glad I'm not addicted to that nonsense like the rest of the somnabulist society.

@abbyhitter @FredsBodyDouble Fear Of Missing Out. Typically used in games with limited time skins so people feel they have to buy now or miss out forever.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Today's Nintendo Direct?

SteamEngenius

RIP new ideas, new IPs. It's all a money printing machine now they realized they can use AI to upscale old games and sell them all over for full price. Never would have dreamed in 2023 the big games would all be.. From 2000. Plus sequels, who doesn't love endless sequels?! I know I certainly can't wait to see Fast and Furious 11!
