The intro to Medievil 1 & 2 on the PS1 always scared me and I had to either skip it or look away. The zombie coming out of the coffin on the first intro and the Dinosaur coming alive on the second intro.
The base games themselves are like 250 GB, add in Warzone and the other stuff ansd you're looking at 500GB for one game, that is never fitting on a nintendo console, and honestly it shouldn't be that big to begin with. Back when MW Remake launched it was the only game I was able to fit on the console on a base PS4
I've said it with every new Pokemon reveal of this gen and I'll say it again. All the New Pokemon revealed have been 10/10 designs. I'm going to have to give each of them a turn in my party and see who has the most staying power
I did anticipate the performance would suffer due to the larger size of the game they're trying to go for, I think the lower quality models of the Pokemon compared to Sw&Sh are evidence that they've had to cut corners in places to accommodate for a bigger game world, but honestly I think it will be worth it in the end. Having the Gym challenge only be 1 of 3 stories within the game speaks a lot about how big this game is going to be, and I'm happy that they're being ambitious and trying newer and bigger things, even if some of the graphics, textures and performance does take a bit of a hit in places.
My Girlfriend's been playing this a lot lately on Switch. It does look cool but for me if I wanted a Disney fix I'd play Kingdom Hearts and if I wanted those gameplay elements I'd play Animal Crossing so there's nothing that really gets my attention about it. Graphics are great for Switch though
"Poison pokemon are the worst" this list was an absolute write off the second I read those words as everybody knows that Poison types are the best and adorable and perfect. Thank you.
Genuinely one of the worst games I've ever played. It's extremely rare that I don't finish a game because it's that bad but I couldn't bring myself to complete this game. The novelty and enjoyment lasts for about 15 minutes and then it's gone. The entire game is a repetitive, joyless slog without a single redeeming feature.
It's not one of those games that used to be good but hasn't aged well either. This is my first time playing it but even by the standards of it's time it's absolutely dreadful.
last time I bought a strategy guide it was for Twilight Pirncess on Wii and that was £20 like 14 years ago. Still annoyed at my teenage self for being ripped off.
Would love to see some Halloween stuff added to Mario Kart 8. As it stands the only way I can get something Halloween-y out of it is by playing as King Boo
put a lot of time into Overwatch in the first 2 years. Haven't played since Sombra was the latest character though. used to Main D.va solo or Torbjorn when playing with friends. Still hate Hanzo mains though.
Bought this at launch on PS4 and sold it within a week, as did everyone else I know who bought it at launch. I really admire the way they've stuck with it and completely turned it around and if I'd never played it before I would play it again, I just don't want to risk not liking it again, even with everything they've fixed and changed. It felt like a £15.00 indie game at best at launch.
Literally every new detail they announce for this game makes me more excited for this game. I genuinley don't think I've been THIS excited for a new pokemon gen since Gen 2 came out as the first sequels
This actually looks really cool, looks like a lower res version of the food from monster hunter haha. Glad to see they've kept the curry and camping mechanics from sword & shield and expanded on them
Personally, I don't think it looks that bad. If we're going for a fully voiced Mario rather than him just saying "It's-a-me" and "Wahoo" for the entire movie, then the slightly more realistic design suits it.
I'm all about this. I already have a Halloween playlist that I listen to through October every year that already includes a couple of versions of Bloody Tears. As well as the obvious "What a horrible night to have a curse" by the Black Dahlia murder. Looking forward to giving this a listen.
Never had any interest in this on the PS4, but after watching the reviews it really does look fantastic, plus with Platinum Games behind it I know it'll be brilliant. I will always trust the people who gave us Bayonetta.
Literally every new Pokemon they've announced for this Gen has 10/10 design. I love this weird lil guy already. He can't steal my heart from Lechonk though.
So they seem to appear in couples, so are the 2 heads both a separate end of the same pokemon?
I'd completely forgotten about this but I'll definitely be picking it up.
I never played the original but I loved the film and honestly it's probably the only live action video game adaptation movie I've ever seen that was any good. After the mess that was the latest Mortal Kombat movie I'd given up hope on there ever being a decent video game adaptation but it turns out I'd been sleeping on one for years.
I remember seeing gameplay of this on the GBA as a kid and it never appealed to me but it's always kind of stuck in my head but I never knew the name and for some reason I think I ended up believing this was some type of Kirby spinoff?
Glad I finally know what it's called, that name's a bit of a mouthful though
Tried a Nuzlocke once, it was fun but it can get frustrating. The thing is you obviously can't have multiple saves on a Pokemon game, so when you've finished the game and completed the Pokedex you can't go back and do a Nuzlocke run unless you lose all that progress, and it isn't really worth it to me.
Literally thought this was a remake of the first game until I watched a review last night (I've never played any of them before)
Even though I heard a lot of good things about the series as a kid I was put off the point and click genre by Broken Sword on the PS1 which I hated as a kid, and it wasn't a genre I really started to appreciate until the Telltale games came along
Nightdive are fantastic and I would have loved to see Goldeneye given the Nightdive treatment, they did an excellent job of the Quake remaster and port to Switch and I'm really hoping they port their Blood remaster to switch as well. They even give games I thought nobody else knew about like Powerslave Exhumed a new lease on life.
Overall a very strong direct, albiet with a lack of Metroid and the twilight princess & windwaker ports I wanted. I don't know why Nintendo is still bothering with Cloud ports. Considering how disastrously bad the previous attempts with Kingdom hearts and others have been, you'd think they might learn a lesson.
Not only that, but I'd say the majority of switch owners own at least one other console that they could play these bigger games on anyway without forking out for a sub-par barely fucntioning cloud version on switch.m
I just want to know what the context is. I mean Tears of the kingdom doesn't sound great when you say it out loud but hopefully it'll make sense once we start playing. Like how Breath of the wild was in reference to the survival elements etc.
Didn't even realize midnight launches were a thing anymore. Only ever went to one and went to bed when I got home anyway, defeating the point. Plus if you're really that desperate to play it the second it's available you can just buy the digital version and install it in advance so it's ready to go. I've never seen the point of midnight launches.
