Re: Rumour: Sony Could Be Raiding Konami For Castlevania, Metal Gear And Silent Hill IP

alexybubble

Not Castlevania. Anything but Castlevania. If Sony bought Castlevania they'd most definitely give it back to IGA, which is the last thing I want, because it would inevitably sink back into the same pile of missed potential that the series has been sitting in since HoD undid all of the improvements that CotM made to the formula. I don't want to see Aria 4, because it would inevitably return with the same problems that the existing trilogy has with customization options that aren't really customizable and THE SAME DAMN HALLWAYS THAT SHOW UP IN EVERY IGAVIANIA GAME THAT JUST WASTE YOUR TIME FOR AT LEAST 3 ROOMS UNTIL YOU TRUDGE BACK TO WHERE YOU STARTED WITH NOTHING GAINED!!! NOTHING!!!! Sorry, I needed to get that rant out again. Nothing will ever piss me off more than those damn hallways.

@nessisonett I do see the the flaws in the dss. I think that it would have been a lot better if they were overworked collectables, or at least don't lock two of them behind an end game arena challenge where if you don't get the card you have to redo the entire thing. I still think it was better implemented though, as the only card that lets you get things just lets you get them earlier, and isn't required for any of those upgrades.

@khululy I prefer Harmony to AoS. At least in my opinion, the best that the soul system has ever been executed was back in CotM with the DSS. If you are going to give me a system that allows me to customize my play style with different abilities, I should be able to beat the entire game without using it, albeit much harder than it would be with using it. I tried playing AoS and ended up putting it down within the first 30 minutes of picking it up because of having to separately equip the slower falling speed soul, which immediately gave me flashbacks to the well in bloodstained, which I had played before. That was the worst area that I had ever experienced in a metroidvania, so I didn't want to go through that hell again. Plus it also gave me Iga's BS hallways that take you nowhere way before you have the right upgrade to go through them, while giving you nothing for your effort within that 30 minutes that I played it. That's why I don't like AoS.

@Kalmaro I agree wholeheartedly. It's the only game in the igavania saga to not have terrible map design, terribly implemented upgrades, or both. All time classic.

Edit: That I've played. I haven't gotten to the DS trilogy yet, but I've played SOTN, the GBA trilogy, and Bloodstained. Just in case portrait of ruin manges to fix my problems with the rest of the saga, because Aria for DS won't and I've heard that ecclesia has a really weird structure.

Re: Reggie Is Returning To The Game Awards As A Presenter

alexybubble

Reggie goes up on stage, presents the best family game award, and simply says: "Now, here is a game that you've all been waiting for." The lights dim, and you can suddenly hear screaming across the world as a mother trilogy gets announced. After the trailer, you see Reggie walk off into the distance, so that his body may be ready for next year.

Re: Buy Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD And Sega Might Remake The Original Games

alexybubble

Screw off. They did it because they wanted to test the waters, so they chose the one that they only had to up-res and put on digital storefronts. It probably would have taken a lot longer to get a full remake out, plus the panzer dragoon remake guys already had their hands full with panzer dragoon. Would you have really preferred super monkey ball 1 and 2 over panzer dragoon? That's the only way I could see those two feasibly getting remakes instead of what we got. And for the record, I got the game as soon as I could and loved it.

Re: A Hat In Time Nyakuza Metro DLC "Coming Soon" To Nintendo Switch

alexybubble

Day and date digital. This was part of my original switch indie want triad, consisting of this, slime rancher, and Subnautica. The only thing that pushed me away from it for a bit was the Aladdin/Lion King pack, but this has taken the spot, especially since I've been wanting a new 3d platformer recently but being scared off of Spyro 3 because of reports of glitches. SO EXCITED!!!

Re: SNK Eager To Revive Metal Slug, But Still Unsure About One-Hit Mechanic

alexybubble

Just bring over the collection or make a new game, and I will buy metal slug. In this day and age, I simply refuse to buy Virtual console style releases (Except Sega ages, because I don't expect them to put out another collection anytime soon), because why would I pay $7 for metal slug when I can go back a generation and get 6 of them for dirt cheap? However, I would love to get into the series, and SNK in general (Will be starting to dig into SNK when the samurai shodown collection comes out), so I would love a new game as well, and buy it just as fast as a collection.

Re: You Can Now Play Online With Your Friends In Super Mario Maker 2

alexybubble

@Toy_Link THANK GOD!! MM2 was a big dissapointment to me so far, and it might be improved. I think they put way too much focus on 3D world in the base game, so we might finally get the stuff we would, and arguably should have gotten in the base game. Bring on the ice flower, rexes, koopa kids, etc. I'm ready, Nintendo.

Re: Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Leaked, But Not Yet Locked In For Switch

alexybubble

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of only 2 mega man games that I own not as part of a collection, being zx, and now I'll actually play it! THANK YOU CAPCOM!!

Now where's our ancillary collection of legends 1 and 2, command mission, wily wars, powered up, rockboard, mega man soccer, and the power battle 1 and 2?

Also battle network and starforce, but I want that ancillary collection as well!

Also no chance in all hell that it won't be on the switch, since inti creates made these and they just said that all of their future games for a while would be on the switch.
