Re: Review: Super Kirby Clash - Monster Hunter Meets The Cute Pink Puffball

Tulio517

Most of my online matches are alright, I think. But when it lags, it's borderline unplayable. And just a small correction: Heroic Missions progress is tied to level cap progress, not gear. Better gear is unlocked with story progression. I spend about 7 dollars at the game and didn't feel the need to buy more. Last night I beat the final boss, it was great, and I'll keep playing for a while more, unlocking those SDX gears will take some time, but I'm down.

Re: Review: Friday the 13th: The Game - Ultimate Slasher Edition - An Asymmetric Multiplayer Gem Worth Hunting Down

I wanted to like this game, but back when they gave the game with PS Plus, online was dead on a arrival. Took forever to find a match. I wanted to see this addresed somehow in this review, even if post launch. Dead by Daylight, on the other hand, is alive (pun intended) and kicking. And the game actually gets continuous content updates, unlike Friday 13th

Re: Is Game Freak "Recycling" 3DS Animations In Pokémon Sword And Shield On Switch?

Tulio517

This comment section is gonna be on fire in a couple of hours. I'd say it's okay to recycle animations from 3DS. The problem is now using non existent "high-quality" animations as part of the excuse for not having all of the pokemon. And before anyone mention balance issues, that's also a bad excuse. There are a lot of ways to deal with battle balance instead of deleting pokemon from the game

Re: Feature: It's Time To Lay Down Your ARMS

I love ARMS to bits. At first I was a hater, but I blame it on Nintendo for marketing it as a motion controls game. I did give it a chance at the online testpunch. It's funny that at first I found the controls weird playing with Spring Man, but then changed to Ribbon Girl and everything clicked. ARMS is one of Nintendo's sweetest games, and it deserves a sequel with more content. And, like Splatoon, it's got a rich overlooked lore that's begging to be explored. I refuse to uninstall the game, even though I rarely play it nowadays.

Re: Soapbox: Why Sword And Shield's Pokémon Purge Will Benefit Everyone

I don't buy the balance excuse. Like many already pointed out, they could just adjust VGC rules, like it's been done. There's no escaping a group of pokemon being somewhat meta defining, we see it everytime at Smogon. Recently I've stepped out of OU because I was bored of seeing Landorus, Toxapex and Heatran everygame. Switched to UU and found myself hating Scizor, Ferrothorn and Amoongus just as much. Removing pokemon from the game will just create a new meta with different dominant Pokemon. It's fine to give someone else the spotlight, just not this way. And by the way, there are other ways to balance a pokemon. Not a lot of people know, but every generation some pokemon get their stats changed a bit. Some nerfs and buffs. And of course not just stats, this applies to abilities, moves and items just. Take Mega Kanga, for example. She was too OP in Gen 6, her ability (Parental Bond) was nerfed in Gen 7. The author of the article makes a lot of good points, and it's notable that he's well versed in Joe Merrick's (Serebii) corrections over twitter, but it sounds like he's unware of some aspects of competitive play and how it's been balanced over the generations. There are a number of ways to balance competitive without removing pokemon. As for graphics, that's where a lot of people are overreacting. I'm sure the game will look fine at launch, Let's Go was a pretty-ish game.

The problem is using this as an excuse to remove pokemon. At least they could've promised to patch them in later, but they said quite the opposite. I honestly don't know what's GF's problem with patches and updates. ORAS's new mega evolutions were never patched to XY, and that made those games incompatible if you tried to use a new mega. The same goes for SM and USUM with new forms and brand new pokemon. This is not working. It might have worked back in the DS and below era, but not in an age of patches and content updates. Game Freak doesn't have to looks very far from Nintendo's own games to see good examples of online support made good: Splatoon 2 is rocking it. We're at different times. If you release a game with missing features AND say you'll not even attempt to update it, of course the community will riot.

I'm sure the game will be fun, but we as fans deserve better. They need to be transparent with us. They need to make an effort to keep up with the times we live in. It's 2019, games get content updates, get over it.

Re: Pokémon GO Surpasses $2.5 Billion In Revenue

Tulio517

@dazzleshell to my knowledge, Nintendo owns a part of the Pokémon Company. I'd imagine some percentage of this revenue goes to Nintendo, even if in indirect form through stock prices rising or something like that. @serebii would definitely have a better answer (sorry for the random tag)

I was also put away by Celeste's graphics at first. But after hearing so many good things about it, i got it in the last PSN sale and had a lot of fun with it. Gameplay and level design are killer. The story is sweet, soundtrack is amazing. The game is very fun!
