Re: Square Enix Adding 11 Final Fantasy XVI Songs To Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

Taya

I wish the music from FFXVI was a free update since it's a mainline game, but then again people who paid for the season pass probably want to get their money's worth. I have the base game but I have not purchased any DLC. I'm tempted by the Chrono pack, but it's really not worth the price for a handful of songs.

The base game is great though, I like it. Buy it on sale if you're interested.

Re: Memory Pak: Making Contact With The "Ungoogleable" Game I Couldn't Quite Remember

Taya

My forgotten game was an old DOS game I used to play with my brother. It was split screen game where two players each control a tank that can tunnel through the soil digdug style. You can restore fuel and health at your home base. The goal is to find and destroy the other player's tank but the world is enormous so it takes a while to find them (or their tunnels).

It was hard to find because there are tons of old school tank games. Eventually I did find it; it's called TUNNELER. It can run on a DOS emulator.

Re: Review: Rune Factory 5 - A Dependable Old Farmhand That Could Use A Spruce Up

Taya

I’m a big Rune Factory fan but I don’t know if I’m interested in this one. While it is a graphical upgrade to RF4, it doesn’t seem like it’s better in any way. Does anyone know if characters repeat the same dialogue every day? In RF4, characters would have something new to say almost every day and would have their own non-plot related gossip like an NPC winning an award and so on. This review doesn’t mention if the characters are any fun to interact with.

Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The 'Metaverse'

Taya

I don’t expect Nintendo to try NFTs. They are extremely slow to adopt new technology even when people actually want it. With NFTs, not only does nobody want it except for the people financially invested in it, but it serves no function.

Re: Feature: Should You Buy Harvest Moon: One World, Or Story Of Seasons: Pioneers Of Olive Town?

Taya

Thank you for this article. I have played a few of Natsume’s Harvest Moon games and they are bad but sometimes have a couple of things that make it fun, but this one and the previous one for Switch look terrible and they’re charging full price. As for Story of Seasons, I have been bored with the series for a long time. Rune Factory has interesting characters that talk about different things regularly but the Story of Seasons character have been flat and boring for a long time. Animal Parade was the last game to have good characters IMO.

Anyway I won’t be buying either game. Stardew Valley just updated and added new content.

Re: Soapbox: Zelda: Skyward Sword Is Good, Actually

Taya

I loved Skyward Sword when it first came out. The dungeons were amazing, some of the best in the series. But having played BotW, I don’t know if I can go back. It depends on whether or not they make quality of life changes and reduce the hand-holding.

Re: Review: Summer In Mara - Alluring Presentation Hides A Fundamentally Flawed Adventure

Taya

I'm playing Summer in Mara now and I like it so far. It is definitely lacking in "Nintendo polish" but it's fun. I played for an hour before I realized I could run, so that helped my enjoyment when I finally figured that out. I think this game could have been really great if it had a bigger budget or was made by a big developer, but as it is right now, I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. Definitely not a 3/10 "Bad".

Re: Poll: Luigi's Mansion 3 Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

Taya

I have a list of $80 (Canadian) games that I haven't played yet. I want Luigi's Mansion but I still haven't played DQXI or DQB2 or Fire Emblem or Witcher 3. And Pokemon comes out soon too. And there are a bunch of smaller games like Obra Dinn that I want to play. It's tough but most of these will have to wait.
