And this is the company that Nintendo trusted DKC Returns HD with? 🤦 Way to completely mess up one of the most beloved PS1 Strategy RPGs with AI cost cutting slop.
It feels more like an afterthought but it brings such a fun cohesiveness to the whole game. It’s really cool to be racing in a Grand Prix and see another course in the distance, or briefly be on one on the way to somewhere else. It also makes a really fun distraction in between online games.
@MTMike87 I recently got back into it as well and it’s been ROUGH. Here’s hoping Scalpers don’t ruin your fun and you get some good pulls in the future! 🌸
@PinballBuzzbro I was so confused when that happened. My mind was rushing like “am I gonna catch her?!” And it turned out to just be a regular battle. Still one of the weirdest twists even if mechanically it amounted to nothing 😅
@jojobar Oh I know! I played the first few hours when it came out on WiiU and it just wasn't what I wanted. I LOVED the original on Wii and this was the first sequel to the series. I didn't really understand the trajectory. Now that I have proper sequels I'm eager to give it a fair shake.
1: 10/10 Amazing and I love it X: I haven't played yet 2: 7/10 took me a really long time to actually finish it and there are some questionable design choices Torna: 9/10 Incredible, vertical slice of Xenoblade 2 that irons out some of the problems I had with that game 3: 10/10 the game that got me back into the series. Mature story that really took me by surprise and a world I couldn't wait to keep getting lost in Future Redeemed: 10/10 banger ending 🔥😎
@RextheSheep The problem is they aren't actually all that limited. They open the preorder window to allow as many people as possible to preorder them, and once the window is closed you can't order it anymore. But that still means that tons of people can get their hands on the games. I'm more referring to the fact that the LRG editions were all on seperate carts, priced at damn near full price, and include NONE of the DLC. Selling them would really not be worth it. I'll still probably get this all in one release at some point, but this is now the 2nd time this has happened with them (first time being Blaster Master Trilogy).

@daftmagician This game definitely does have its fans. Plus it’s a good chance to iron out some of the games’ more annoying wrinkles.

@MyMemory I literally don’t spew hate but whatever you say chief.
Re: Feature: Who Is Devon Pritchard? - Meet The Next NOA President Stepping Into Bowser's Boots
@MyMemory a better job than SmashJT? What are you on about? All he does is complain about “Wokeness”. He's a vile person who just spouts hate.
Re: Feature: Who Is Devon Pritchard? - Meet The Next NOA President Stepping Into Bowser's Boots
@Suketoudara SmashJT is the absolute biggest loser in the world.

Kit and Krysta have always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Can’t believe they are still trying to stay relevant.
Re: Talking Point: How Are You Finding Mario Kart's Open World?

Re: Rumour: Zelda Live-Action Movie Eyes "Popular" Princess Pick
@HDPlanet Same this is really eye opening and disgusting. I don’t get how everyone can be so hateful about something that doesn’t concern them.

Re: Stolen Pokémon Card Haul Worth £250k Seized In Arrest
@Anti-Matter Coming from the guy who exclusively plays Paw Patrol games it’s a little ironic for you to judge adults collecting Pokemon Cards. 😑
