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).
@darkswabber Yeah the original is fine. It's a fun quirky little game. The remaster is literally worse in every way. Smooths out some of the more unique aspects visually, has lost a ton of the licensed music, and to cap it all off the Switch version is a mess. And not involving Suda or Gunn was a weird, gross misstep. They essentially took his game, and crapped all over it.
I somehow sunk in over 10 hours this weekend. Fantastic port and I love being able to practice on my lunch break at work. Let me know if anyone wants to run some matches! 💪

Re: Former Nintendo Execs Fear We Might Be Waiting A While For A 3D Mario On Switch 2, Thanks To Donkey Kong
Kit and Krysta have always rubbed me the wrong way for some reason. Can’t believe they are still trying to stay relevant.

Yes. This is my curse.

@LastFootnote no idea how you could even glean that it looks unpolished from those screens 💀
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.

I’ve got a physical copy on the way! Excited for something new. (Also I need a small break from my current Pokemon Scarlet addiction).

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. 😑

@progx Capcom has already made Amiibo for one of their franchises. Monster Hunter.

@Poco_Lypso Yeah I'm done at this point. Clock Tower was my last purchase from them.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases "Nightmare Mode" Update For Switch
@nhSnork Good for you. You've earned this 🍪
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases "Nightmare Mode" Update For Switch
@darkswabber Yeah the original is fine. It's a fun quirky little game. The remaster is literally worse in every way. Smooths out some of the more unique aspects visually, has lost a ton of the licensed music, and to cap it all off the Switch version is a mess. And not involving Suda or Gunn was a weird, gross misstep. They essentially took his game, and crapped all over it.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases "Nightmare Mode" Update For Switch
@nhSnork It's just a crappy game.
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Teases "Nightmare Mode" Update For Switch
This whole game is a nightmare

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Donkey Kong Country Returns HD?
@StarPoint basically my exact answer as well. The game is an easy 9 or 10 for me but the state of this release bogs the score down.
Re: Review: Blade Chimera (Switch) - A Ridiculously Fun, Combat-First Metroidvania
@Axecon I'd make time for this one. The last two games they've made have been some of my favorites in the genre.
Re: Rusty Rabbit, From The Creator Of Psycho-Pass, Is The Most Bonkers Metroidvania Ever
Totally Reminds me of F.I.S.T. Man I've got to play that again. I think it's as good as Metroid Dread.
