Re: Poll: Astral Chain Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?

ThatNyteDaez

I love action games and the combo-heavy action Platinum Games brings to the table with each game is what I consider top class.

I just don't like what Astral Chain is going for. For me personally, the only selling point is the action - I'm not interested in the character designs, the world, the Legions... It's unfortunate but thats the way it is. I do hope the rest of you will thoroughly enjoy it though!

Re: Nintendo Music Copyright Takedowns Intensify As Another Prominent YouTuber Gets Hit

ThatNyteDaez

"Yes, Nintendo has every right to protect its music, and nobody should expect to be able to distribute its content without facing repercussions, but Nintendo doesn't offer an alternative."

Because they don't have to? Nintendo makes the music to be enjoyed in the games they make. You buy the game/the product they are selling and you get to enjoy as much of that music as you want.

Granted, it would be nice to have Nintendo provide an alternative. I'm not disagreeing with that. But assuming someone else gets to fill that role "just because" isn't the correct response. You don't use/steal an artists work "just because". This is the same.

Re: Pearl And Team Chaos Win The Final Splatoon 2 Splatfest

ThatNyteDaez

Highlight of this Splatfest for me is seeing Pearl as an arena hazard. I loved the teams for this one too. I feel like everyone could have gone either way, really. But in a game about inking everything and swimming up walls, I feel like Chaos would have been a sure win every time. Love Splatoon 2 though. I didn't stop playing because it stopped being fun. I stopped playing because other games took my interest and I'd been playing it daily since it came out.

Re: US Law Firm Opens "Switch Joy-Con Drift" Class Action Investigation

ThatNyteDaez

I had some issues with my original grey joycon after a year. Just bought some new neon ones after. They had issues too after awhile, got them replaced, then those replaced until finally, the ones I have now have been going strong for awhile.

Hopefully this lawsuit becomes something palpable and we'll bet some major improvements. I wouldn't want to have to get another few pairs...

Re: Feature: Best Pokémon Games Of All Time

ThatNyteDaez

You guys are honestly obsessed with this "every pokemon follows you" thing to the point where it makes no sense. I really don't get what the big deal about it is but almost everyone seems to think of it as a gamechanger when it's really not. Sun & Moon or X & Y at the very least should have been higher than a simple remake that added some improvements since they added whole new mechanics that changed the game for the better. Pokemon following you adds nothing - it's just an aesthetic difference.

Re: Feature: Nintendo E3 2019 - What Are You Hoping For?

ThatNyteDaez

I'm keeping my expectations low and my mind open. Frankly, Pokemon has already set me to believe Nintendo can perform very well this year and, while Square Enix did amazing, I'm only really interested in one or two of their games. Same with Xbox. Nintendo just need to bring 2-3 more and I'll consider their showing that much more impressive than others this year.

The only hope I have for a new Nintendo IP is for them to maybe jump into the MOBA space. Arena of Valor hasn't turned out too well but its made me realize that it's very addictive in terms of gameplay. If Nintendo went into it with their own twists and unique characters, I frankly couldn't be happier.

And I suppose since we're never getting PSO now (thanks Sega...) I'm hoping something like that would be the knockout I need.

Re: All Those amiibo On Your Shelf? You Can't Use Them In Super Mario Maker 2

ThatNyteDaez

@TempOr What about the rest of us who DID buy into the dozens of toys when they specifically said there would be functionality in ALL games going forward for them? This isn't justified just because a couple of you weren't interested or didn't have the money. The rest of us were promised something for our money which the original game delivered on. Expecting the same from the sequel isn't asking for much.

Re: Chinese Video Game Giant Tencent Reportedly Gives Up On Arena Of Valor

ThatNyteDaez

So wait, what does this mean exactly? It was obvious for awhile that Arena of Valor was being left to die, but are things going to pick back up at some point in the future or are we just not going to see anything else? I play Arena of Valor nearly every day and the game is super fun, but the lack of updates and patches has seriously hurt it from a community standpoint.

Either way, I hope Nintendo are watching and are taking something away from this. Because there are plenty of other MOBA's out there that they can acquire for Switch if they were serious about it. The latest and most interesting being "Extraordinary Ones". Either bring that to Switch or get started on making their own full of Nintendo IP's. Either way, Nintendo needs to fill this apparent void somehow.

Re: DC Universe Online Brings Another Dose Of Superhero Action To Switch This Summer

ThatNyteDaez

So I went and checked out the Character Creation yesterday like I said I would - and I'm actually very impressed. They seem to have gone quite far in making each character feel varied and unique. I'm sold - I'll be grabbing this when it comes out. I kiiiiinda wish they expanded on the powersets a bit more. It looks like they just went for the most popular/prominent powers in their universe that appears commonly enough. But either way, it would still make most people happy and that's what's important, I guess. I like that we're getting all the DLC with it too. So thats an extra couple of elements for people to look forward to.

Re: Video: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 X-Men Trailer Reveals New Characters

ThatNyteDaez

Pity I don't really care that much about any Marvel character. Spiderman's cool but I don't really feel that strongly about him. Carnage is more in line with what I like but it's always a stretch that he'll be added in for any game. And even then... Venom is always a main pick.

Speed might be more my thing but its unlikely he'll get in either.

Re: Famitsu Shares New Screenshot Of The Battle System In Game Freak's Upcoming Switch RPG

ThatNyteDaez

I'm interested in Town and do want to see more. But I swear to god if Sword and Shield are held back in ANY WAY in terms of content - I'm basically going to swear off Pokemon then. Because clearly they don't care about the IP anymore and fans have started getting bored with it too. I love Pokemon to death and always thought it was fine as is, but to put the worlds biggest IP second to their own projects tells me they don't care about their fanbase at all. We're second-fiddle to their own stuff. And that's seriously bad.

Re: DC Universe Online Brings Another Dose Of Superhero Action To Switch This Summer

ThatNyteDaez

This... could actually be a fantastic addition to my library... I'm genuinely surprised! I'm going to have to look into how far the character customization goes, but I guess for so far, I'm pretty sold. Not so happy its not Cross Platform, but if the gameplay is solid enough - I won't even care. Its got Multiplayer Online and you can make your own character - that's often good enough for me, really.

Re: Game Freak Is Trying To Create Something "More Exciting Than Pokémon"

ThatNyteDaez

Nooooooooo! The moment you start to put Pokemon second - thats the moment everyone else starts to do the same! Pokemon is the current number 1 IP in the world! It'll be years before something else Gamefreak makes can even get half as much attention! They should be shoving as many ideas into Pokemon as possible! Not withholding the best ones and putting them elsewhere! I swear if this is the reason we haven't gotten true co-op in Pokemon all these years, I'm gonna be pissed. Like... really!?
