Re: Review: AEW: Fight Forever - The Spirit Of WWF No Mercy Lives On In The Ring

Zenszulu

I considered ordering this on Switch due to the lack of any wrestling games in general and not only is this getting pretty average reviews due to it's lack of overall content and already outdated roster but for the switch version to also have a major performance issue kind of talked me out of even considering it. I will give it a few months but for a game that was last year reportedly going way over budget because they were spending way to much on adding some of the mini games you would have expected a little more content to be added to make up for it.

Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me

Zenszulu

I dabbled with things like actions replays on a few different systems but very rarely on games that I put countless hours into a save file like on a Pokemon game.

That being said I did use one on my N64 regularly on the WWF games from THQ as there were some pretty good ways to mod arenas and textures for outfits by swapping different ones around and even make new match types. Was a very time consuming process to say the least.

Re: Poll: Which Was Your First 'Final Fantasy'?

Zenszulu

Like many people back in the UK in the 90s that didn't import games it was Final Fantasy 7 for me. I always seen jrpgs as some exotic thing we never got and when we did I could never find them in any stores near me because I didn't live in a city at the time so the places that we had only carried the more popular selections. So I do have fond memories of it and playing with my brother.

Re: Capcom Ending Resident Evil 7 Cloud Rental Service On Switch

Zenszulu

I don't mind cloud gaming if they are part of something like gamepass or PlayStation plus but the way it's handled on the switch with individual games having to be purchased I am not a fan. I wasn't a fan of it with Stadia and OnLive before that. There is also no difference to buying and renting in this case as you lose access if and when the service is shut off.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Tales Of Symphonia Remastered

Zenszulu

Since I already own both the Gamecube and PS3 versions I can't actual say I am interested in this version because it adds literally nothing and having the name Remastered at the end suggests it has some kind of enhancements other than increased resolution over the original which it doesn't.

Re: Review: Tales of Symphonia Remastered - A GameCube Classic That Shows Its Age On Switch

Zenszulu

When something is called a remaster and doesn't actually enhance or add anything to give a better experience on newer hardware is it really a remaster? Seems like they just slapped it on the end to justify the price of a bare bones port. I am a huge fan of the game and glad that it is finally more accessible to a new audience but the price puts me off of getting it anytime soon physically.

Re: Baten Kaitos Remasters Have Japanese VO Only, Frame Rate, File Size Revealed

Zenszulu

While I thought the original game's voice dub was awful I would have still preferred it. I get there a lot of people who seem to think that only having Japanese voices in Japanese made games it the only way to go but I see that as an odd elitist thing and I like the English voices as it helps immerse me in the experience and I don't have to concentrate on subtitles when I could miss something in an action sequence. It's one of the same reasons I can't watch undubbed foreign action movies as I end up missing so much. Yes these games are heavy on just reading text but it would be still nice if the original English dubs were kept in as an option.

Re: N64 Classic Yoshi's Story Celebrates Its 25th Anniversary Today

Zenszulu

Classic? At the time it was considered underwhelming and too short and to this day that view hasn't really changed. I still have my original copy but can't say I have any lasting memories of it since I beat it once and there seemed like very little reason to go back. I expected much more after playing Yoshi's Island on the SNES as it was arguably my favourite platform game from that generation.

The biggest issue it has is it's simply too short and very little challenge outside of simply going back to collect stuff. It looks and sounds great for the time but nothing about it makes it a classic.

Re: Microsoft Enters "10-Year Commitment To Bring Call Of Duty To Nintendo"

Zenszulu

As long as it's not cloud versions. I would also not be against getting all of the older games ported even if it was just the campaigns and at a lower price. I get people don't like the games because the mass market likes them and as a result think they must hate them, but I tend to enjoy the campaigns and if they were added and a version of Warzone I can't see an issue with that too much.

@Bucky I think no version on the Switch has more to do with Activision not wanting to put the resources into making Switch ports as it has proven quite a feat for many getting games optimised for it.

Re: Review: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet - An Open-World Poké Playground Full Of Promise (And Tech Issues)

Zenszulu

It's really a first when Pokemon games are actually too technically ambitious for the hardware they run on. Sure there was some issues on the 3DS games in battles where there were 3 or more on screen but now the games are trying to outdo the hardware they are on.

It's quite odd seeing as the games started off always being more functional visually than anything and never aimed to push the hardware and now they push the hardware a bit too much at the same time as not looking spectacular. Saying that I am still getting a copy because I'll still get enjoyment out of coming across the new Pokemon for the first time.

Re: Switch Online Versions Of Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 Won't Support Transfers

Zenszulu

It would be nice if Pokemon Home featured a few specific boxes to be able to act as storage for these games in future With obvious restrictions on what moves and Pokemon can be put in them. Although some of the rentals in the games had good movests if you didn't necessarily go for the most powerful ones in terms of stats. You can quite easily beat the games using the right strategies and teams.

Re: Random: Wii U Owner's Son Stuffs A Bunch Of Switch Carts Into The Disc Drive

Zenszulu

A lot of comments from single adult men talking about how they would never want to have children because they don't want them touching their precious game consoles... I am going out on a limb and saying that acting like children yourself is probably part of the reason some of you will never have children and not because you claim to choose it. Children will naturally be children and will do things like this out of their own curiosity. No need to get angry towards either the parent or the child as you can't predict everything they will do.

Re: Random: We've Been Waiting Over Half A Decade For A "New" Mainline Zelda Game

Zenszulu

With each entry getting bigger and bigger and adding more content than the last even with more people working on the games it is still going to take longer and longer to make new games. There is also the overwhelming expectation to make the next game feel grander than the last. We will be lucky if we get one a decade for certain games series at one point. Just look at how long GTA6 has been in development as an example.

Re: Super Punch-Out!! Hidden Two-Player Mode Discovered 28 Years Later

Zenszulu

This must be one of these cheats that never got sent around the magazines back in the day. Usually that was the only way they would get released is if the publishers made them public. There have been many instances where they remained hidden simply because they were never sent out during the launch period of a game and simply forgotten about. I kind of miss the days that games contained cheats or codes that unlocked hidden modes or features and coming across them years later in a magazines that reprinted them giving you a reason to boot a game back up you may have had sitting on your shelf for ages.

Re: Random: Nintendo Shareholder Apparently Asked For A New F-Zero At General Meeting

Zenszulu

I'd love not only a new Baten Kaitos games but full remasters of the first too as the would need it for me as the speech was awful and sounded muffled and hollow. I'd like an F-Zero game like most but I don't really think I would play it at this point just because I haven't really been into any racing games since the N64 era and even by the time the Gamecube came out I sort of stopped playing them. I am all for people being able to make requests like that directly to any major publisher though as they often forget some games after time and don't realise they have such a cult following.

Re: No Man's Sky Will Launch As A "Single-Player Experience" On Switch

Zenszulu

While it can be fun with a group of others it can be just as fun on your own if you like exploring. I played it in the early days and it was certainly a bare bones experience, now though there is so much to see and do it could be perfect for playing while travelling as long as the performance isn't too bad that what everyone is wondering as the early build may have run really well on the base PS4 at the time but the latest one has massive drops at times and if it's close to that in overall performance I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Re: Video: We're Confused About Sonic Frontiers

Zenszulu

From one or two people I have seen talk about it that have played it they have said it lacks an identity of its own and tries to be too much like your standard open world game. Still not sold on Sonic in an open world where you have to essentially slow down to explore areas since Sonic's whole thing is constantly moving fast. It's definitely an underwhelming reveal of it. Not a game I'm hyped for but will wait to see some of the reviews when it comes out.

Re: Sonic Frontiers Will Take About 20 - 30 Hours To Complete

Zenszulu

So basically generic open world check box system and skill upgrades that they all have. Still not sure how a character that is designed to be moving fast will feel if you have to slow down and explore loads of places in an open world like this. In all honesty though I lost interest in Sonic games long ago when the quality dropped and they stopped having a vision for the games. They really don't know what to do with the series so I guess this can't be any worse than the last decade or so.

Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Frontiers Won't Be Delayed, Says Fans "Don't Understand" It

Zenszulu

Telling the people who will buy your games that they don't understand it is basically asking for it to fail. If you haven't done enough to explain it to them then it isn't their fault it's yours. It doesn't really help how vague they are about it being different to games that have come before and leaving it there. From what I can tell on between zones its basically wide empty fields just put there so Sonic can run fast as currently serves no other purpose outside of that. Having a big open world is one thing but if most of it is empty for the sake of running fast it's pointless. Big worlds like that are designed to ne explored so putting a character in it thats main trait is going fast all the time seems counter intuitive.

Re: Game Freak Had Plans For 65,535 Versions Of The Original Pokémon Game

Zenszulu

@Markiemania95 I have played the Japanese versions and the gameplay in the blue one is the same as the Western releases since those fixes carried over. While the red and green have the same pokemon exclusives ad the Western releases it doesn't change my statement we didn't get those original versions we essentially got enhanced versions because of that later release of Blue.
