Re: Feature: What's Left To Be Announced For Smash Bros. Ultimate On Switch?

ThatGirlFinley

So I've never been a big fan of the Waluigi for Smash memes or anything and I don't think he'd be the best fighter to join the game...but I do kind of wish they'd put him in as a playable character. It just feels like it'd be cool. I guess it'd be nice to have the four of them (Mario, Luigi, Waluigi and Wario) in the game together too though. I loved the direct and I'm super hyped for all the announcements they made. I know it's going to be the best Smash Bros. game ever. That's for sure

Re: Near-Identical Fake Switch Pro Controllers Are Now On The Market

ThatGirlFinley

sigh I'll just never understand this "switch pro controller has a bad d-pad" mentality. It's one of my favorites and I have never had a problem with it. Ah well, everyone has their own opinion. I guess it'd be nice if they did some program where people could send in their controllers and have the d-pad fixed for free or something.

Also on-topic, I really dislike cheap knock-off products like this that just try to trick people into buying their products by making them look as close to the original as possible šŸ™„

Re: Random: Toys R Us Employee Finds A Mario Kart 64 Box Hidden Under A Shelf

ThatGirlFinley

I'd love to clean that box and stick it on my shelf. Although double dash was my favourite, Mario Kart 64 was the original and quite an amazing game when I first played it.

Edit: To clarify, I meant that Mario Kart 64 was the first Mario Kart game that I played NOT that it was the first Mario Kart game ever made. My apologies for the lack of clarity but I wrote this post in the morning before work so..yeah, lol

Re: Poll: As "Gaming Disorder" Becomes A Thing, Is It Time To Assess How Much You Play?

ThatGirlFinley

Most of my time is spent playing video games and simultaneously binge watching shows on Netflix. I have a minimum wage job and I still live with my parents. I have one good, best friend and I get out to see her maybe once every few weeks. I'm that typical gamer that sits alone in his room most of the time. And it's embarrassing to admit that. I actually graduated at the top of my class. I'm great with coding, drawing, graphic design and similar creative areas. I just don't give myself the time to get out there and look for jobs that I could really excel at and that would improve my life. I don't know why. Is it that I'm addicted to games? Is it the anxiety of socialising with others? The pressure and responsibilities that would come with such a change? I don't know. Maybe it's a lot of things. I think it's ok for them to list this as an addiction though. I really believe that it can be for some people. The same way they might be addicted to social media for example. It's really hard to break that cycle though and to bring about positive changes in your lifestyle. I think most people have a lot of compacted problems that just make it hard to deal with all the stresses in daily life. Anyways good luck to anyone in bad circumstances that aspires to better their self and improve their life. Peace āœŒļø

Re: PokƩmon GO Will Finally Allow You To Trade PokƩmon With New 'Friends' Feature

ThatGirlFinley

@DarkKirby Exactly what I was thinking 🤣

I'm really pleased to see this feature added to the game. It's just a shame about the proximity needed to trade. My best friend lives in another town and we get to see each other every couple weeks so I can't see myself doing much trading. PokƩmon Go isn't exactly very popular where I live either so I doubt I'll be trading with any strangers either.

Re: Octopath Traveler Won't Receive DLC According To The Game's Producer

ThatGirlFinley

I don't mind DLC sometimes as long as it's not priced extortionately. I think it's cool if a developer finishes the game, is moving along with other things and then gets an idea for something really cool they could add to that old game they made and they make it into a dlc. I don't like when a developer finishes a game and then takes parts of it out and sells them off later as dlc. Although I suppose all of that is irrelevant in this case, lol

It's an interesting change to see a developer saying they have no intentions of ever releasing dlc for their game. Although I must admit it is nice to see new content added over time. That's why I find games with mod support to be so fun. It just adds more replayability.

Re: All-Star Fruit Racing Has No Online Multiplayer On Switch And It's Unreal Engine 4's Fault

"It costs too much. The interest isn't there. We're a small team and don't have the manpower. Just play the steam version of you want ___. We couldn't compete with ___. We're going to wait until the install base grows. The Switch can't handle ___."

I'm so tired of hearing these kinds of excuses from developers. When am I going to hear something like this:

"It was expensive but we found a way in the end, even if it meant we had to sell our kidneys. The interest wasn't there so we thought about how we could develop that sector, how we could create that interest or bring it over from other platforms and we made it work. We're a small team and we didn't really have the manpower but we took our time, everyone studied and worked in their own time and we did all that we could to meet our goals for this game. We wanted this version to be on par with the other versions so we made it happen. We probably can't compete with ___ but that doesn't mean we aren't going to try. We'll play on our strengths and pave the way for our game. The Switch didn't have the raw power to run the game the way we originally created it so we got innovative. We made it from the ground up for the platform and the result was breathtaking."

Just once I'd like to hear a true success story from a developer that took the risks, that never gave up despite all of the barriers they came across. I'd like to hear about a developer that made it happen, that struck gold and that laughed at the competition and the naysayers when people saw that they managed to create something truly amazing from their passion, enthusiasm and dedication.

I know I'm speaking of ideals here but still...I can dream...
