Re: Pokopia Joins A 3DS Entry As The Highest-Rated Pokémon Game On Metacritic

Sylamp

I still don't get how X & Y got such high ratings, those games are so incredibly boring to me
@UltimateOtaku91 they liked that version's legendary mon more
but being serious it's some weirdness with how Metacritic assigns reviews to a given game, they probably assigned one review to only Y or only X and that made a difference in score

Re: Double Dragon Gaiden Adds Four New Fighters In Free DLC Switch Update

Sylamp

@roy130390 It wasn't outright said that this is the last update but when the previous update dropped the developer said that they have 4 more characters coming, so it was kinda implied that they're done with the updates after these characters drop
But I'm with you, I hope they add more stages, heck I'd be willing to pay for them given how much they added to the game for free

Re: Video: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Shines On Switch 2 In This Side-By-Side Comparison

How hard it is to learn the mechanics in these games?
I've always been curious about this series but whenever I see gameplay of them they just seem so overwhelming, but I still want to at least try one of them out so I want to know if the games just throw most of the mechanics at you at once and you just have to figure it out yourself and read tutorials online? Or are there some in-game tutorials that teach you all that stuff?

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Mario Tennis Fever?

Sylamp

9/10 for me, probably my favorite Mario Tennis game
Gameplay-wise it feels a lot better than Aces to me, that game just felt overbearing with it's mechanics and it felt like I had to spent a lot of time before I could get comfortable with them
Fever is a lot easier to pick up and play but still has a lot of depth and strategy with the Fever Rackets
And content-wise I think it's easily the best home console entry, yeah the Adventure mode is not great but all of the side modes are really fun
Trial Towers deserve a special mention because there are two things that I haven't seen any review mention, one is that they pick from a list of 100 missions and arrange them in different order each time (aside from the last missions in each tower, those are always the same), which adds replayability
And the second thing is that after you beat all 3 towers you unlock the All Trials mode, which lets you play all of the 100 missions individually, and they all have a 3-star ranking system
That's a pretty sizeable chunk of single-player content, especially for a arcade sports game, so I don't know why no review has mentioned it
I think my only complaint is the court variety, I wish there were a few more wackier ones like Waluigi's Pinball Arcade or Wonder Court
But that's my overall thoughts, great game

Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Aware Of Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition OST Requests

I personally don't mind that this version has new music, I get why this is a dealbreaker for some but if the choice is between having the game without the original soundtrack or not having the game at all I would always pick the former (it's the same reason why I don't hate Sonic Origins), my problem is the shoddy implementation
In many cases if you listen closely you can still hear the original music playing underneath the new music, and in the case of the Atari Jaguar version you don't have to listen closely at all, the original music is very clearly audible under the new music and it predictably sounds like a mess, so I want them to at least fix that

Re: Side-Scrolling Robo-Shooter Remake 'FZ: Formation Z' Blasts Onto Switch 2 This May

Sylamp

@Johnny_Arthur I don't know where you heard that this game was cancelled but that's not true
Final Formation is a different game and it's a part of a "Final" trilogy of Jaleco sci-fi revivals, it's a second game in that trilogy, the first one was Final Exerion which released in 2023
Now you may be asking "Why did City Connection commission Happymeal to make another Formation game when they had this one in development?", and I don't have an answer, City Connection does odd things sometimes
