Re: Talking Point: Censoring Boingy Bits, Bums and Gore

I don't like censorship, but it would be nice if there was less nudity/near-nudity in video games altogether. It turns women away from video games and makes men look like horny 13-year-olds.

I always hear the argument that "sex sells" but did you know you can get porn for free from the internet instead of buying a $50 game featuring cleavage? It's true! There's money in your pocket.

Re: Review: Harvest Moon (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)

Taya

The SNES version of Harvest Moon is really great for how simple it is. This one is a little too simple, but it's still fun and I'm going to get it when it comes out here, even though I own the original black-and-white Gameboy game.

For those of you who haven't played a Harvest Moon game in many years, Animal Parade for the Wii and A New Beginning for the 3DS are both really great. The bests in the series for sure.

Re: Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma

Taya

I have VC, Wiiware, 3DSware etc games and I also have quite a few games on Steam, however I will always choose the physical game if the option exists. There's nothing wrong with digital only games but having the real disc feels so much more real. Plus I'll always be a collector at heart.

If eshop games were significantly cheaper than physical games I might consider them, but not if they're the same price.

Re: Reaction: The Rayman Legends Delay Is a Low Blow, But The Apocalypse Isn't Here

Taya

I don't plan to boycott the game, but if there are other games that I want coming out in September that compete for my money, I may not get it. However if it was being released in February, I'd get it without thought. There isn't much out for the Wii U right now and I really want a new game. It's too bad Rayman isn't going to benefit from people like me who are itching to spend their money on a game for their new console.

Re: Aonuma: "We'll See" About Zelda Voice Acting

Taya

I almost always prefer no voice acting in games because of a) voice acting that doesn't represent how real people talk and b) I can read faster than they can speak so I either cut them short or wait for them to finish. There have been exceptions though and I think sometimes voice acting adds to the experience.

I don't want Link to ever be voice acted because they'll never get it just right. In fact, the silly noises that he makes in Skyward Sword when he touches lava or falls off a cliff are too much as it is. Wind Waker Link is the closest they've gotten to a good Link voice.

Re: These Are The 10 NES Ambassador Games in Japan

Taya

I'm happy with these games. I was considering buying Zelda II on the VC so this saves me the money and the trouble.

And for those complaining, Nintendo doesn't owe you anything. You run the risk of a price drop whenever you buy anything expensive. I admit I was very surprised when the price dropped so quickly but I was willing to buy it for full price when I did so why would I be less satisfied when the price dropped? And we get 20 free games when they don't have to give us anything.

Re: Review: Let's Create! Pottery (DSiWare)

Taya

I also disagree with this review. I have had no problems with the controls and I never ever felt lost or confused about what I was supposed to do. It's incredibly straightforward. I guess it's just not for everyone.

Re: Features: Re-Examining Zelda: Twilight Princess

Taya

I loved every moment of Twilight Princess but I don't think it stands up against my favourites: Wind Waker and Link's Awakening.

TP is the first Zelda game where I enjoyed the dungeons more than screwing around in the overworld though. It had some excellent dungeons.
