Re: Patapon 1+2 Replay Teases New Game Mode, Coming Early Next Week

Sylamp

@topher6490 Patapon 3 is very different from 1 and 2 as it's heavily based around multiplayer, it's fine solo but far from ideal, and given how they didn't add online multiplayer for the Paragates in Patapon 2 (even though it would make total sense) I can't imagine they would be able to implement it for a game that heavily relies on it to be fully enjoyable

Re: Mini Review: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Now A Legit Contender For Mario's Karting Crown

Sylamp

I really didn't like the game when I first tried it but I decided to give it another shot with this Switch 2 Edition and it grew on me quite a bit, I still like it the least out of the 3 cartoon-y racing games that came out this year (yes I like Mario Kart World much more, sue me) but it's a solid game and it may grow on me more as I play it, All-Stars Racing Transformed is still way better, that's a high bar that Sega will probably never clear unfortunately
60 FPS does help a lot, I'm not super picky when it comes to frame rate (with some exceptions) but this game didn't feel good at 30 FPS even when it was stable

Re: Review: Marvel Cosmic Invasion (Switch) - Up There With Best-Ever Arcade Marvel Games

I'm reading all these cons and thinking "yup, it's a follow up to TMNT Shredder's Revenge alright", these are all issues I had with Shredder's Revenge, none of them stopped me from really enjoying it (although I still would play SoR4, Fight'N Rage and Double Dragon Gaiden over it any day) but it is disappointing that this game didn't address any of that
But I still really liked that game and I'm sure I like this one as well, I just don't expect it to beat out Absolum for me

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (22nd November)

I want to finish DQ2 in the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and I also want to play Neon Inferno and finally play the full version of Absolum (I played the Steam demo and loved it, plus Streets of Rage 4 is my favorite beat'em up of all time so a new beat'em up from Guard Crush is a no-brainer for me) but realistically what's probably gonna happen is I'll just keep playing more of Kirby Air Riders

Re: It's Official, Red Dead Redemption Is Coming To Switch 2 This December

Sylamp

@Jedrus_Lilac Yeah, it's not like Nintendo released multiple free upgrades for their Switch 1 games, that didn't happen at all
For the record, this isn't me saying that you can't dislike the fact that a bunch of the upgrades they released are paid but saying that they didn't do any upgrades for free is just plainly wrong

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake?

Sylamp

I finished DQ1 and now I'm going through DQ2, unlike DQ3 where my first exposure to it was the HD-2D remake I actually did play DQ 1 and 2 beforehand (via the Switch ports of the mobile versions) so I can better appreciate all the additions and QoL improvements these remakes add
DQ1 was fun and the new story beats are cool but I feel like the difficulty spike in the second half is a bit harsh and some spells should've been given to you a bit earlier than they are, still a good game though and it's my favorite version of the game by far
I'm pretty early into DQ2 but I'm enjoying it, I remember the later parts of the game (in the Switch port of the mobile version at least) being kinda annoying so hopefully the remake improves those parts

Re: Shujinkou Has Been Updated On Switch, Here Are The Patch Notes

Sylamp

@AmplifyMJ I remember reading something about how the situation is similar to the Switch 1 where indie devs also had trouble getting the dev kits for 6-7 months after launch, and that currently Nintendo is mainly giving Switch 2 dev kits to indie studios that need the extra power of Switch 2

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (25th October)

I finished Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake a few days ago (great game, loved my time with it) so now I'm playing Ninja Gaiden Ragebound and I'm having a blast, I think I'm pretty close to finishing it so after that I'll probably start SHINOBI: Art of Vengeance so I can knock out both of the ninja action platformers from this year off my backlog
I also been playing a bit of Powerwash Simulator 2 and it's just as fun and chill as the first game
I also want to try out Angry Video Game Nerd 8-bit, normally I wouldn't care about another AVGN game because I didn't really like AVGN Adventures 1 and 2 but this one was worked on by Programancer, the dev of Prison City, which is a fantastic game so anything he worked on immediately gets my attention
