The Legend of Zelda: The Boxer Shorts of the Deep

@KillerBOB The detective looks like COOP! ::that should be read in a shouty Lynch voice::

@Grahamthecracker Good lord I hope it is. It sounds so fresh you could slap it.

@Lordplops Elderscrolls has soul gems, we've got soul glo.

I have the original pro. It is, as the kids might say, “clutch.”

@Saturn589 Yeah, I could have but that joke sucks.

1st Fault in your argument- I wasn’t targeting white christians en masse. I was targeting historically ignorant white christians who don’t realize that Jesus was very much a Jew of the region and not Anglo (specifically Anglo, not WHITE- look at most Catholic/Protestant imagery the guy has got an aquiline nose).
2nd fault - Making fun of people who like guns is OK (btw nothing inherently wrong with being a gun enthusiast), but the other two targets are taboo? Pick a high horse to ride on.
Fault 3 - Humor is subjective, so I can understand how you can’t recognize a joke when you read one. In fact, some people have no sense of humor. 0_0

I started listening and said "nah its not really close enough" then the piano started... yeah. Yeah that's a rip off. I am so disappoint.

@shazbot Reasonable minds can and will!

Distasteful though? Like they say, no accounting for taste

Anyway, if we can't laugh at ourselves, what's the point of laughing at all? This was a good exchange.

Graphically acceptable, customization options are good, difficulty is spot on with the original. However, it is WAY too slow. The first level in the original game flowed, moved quickly, was very dynamic. This demo level was... limping.

@shazbot ... I can't tell if you're joking. Can it be bigotry when it's satire or criticism of a group to which I belong?
Edit: Also I didn't say Americans are racist... which we generally are... I was saying that most Christian Americans think the J-man looked like Graham Chapman.

@shazbot What part of that was bigoted?

It's because us Americans (myself and others obviously excluded) get all offended when you insinuate God is anything other than some anglo-looking superstar who fed the poor and apparently (?) hates homosexuals. Now if this were a deity simulator with guns? Might have released in the land of free sample, home of the heavy breathers. I'm jealous we didn't get this game, it looks delightful.

DLC on a game you stream... is it really DLC? If I were gonna play this I’d use my PS4. Makes no sense on this system.

Well well well, I'm all gift horses in the stomach about this one. And other mixed metaphors.

Great now I’m sad again. Thanks NL. I JUST forgot about the breakup!

@JuiceMan_V Same

Never owned a Wii nor Wii U, so this generation of Zelda holds no interest for me... My favorites in order BotW, Zelda 2 tAoL, OoT, LoZ (original). After BotW open world, similar to the first two games, I can’t go back to this über linear gameplay.

I don't enjoy farming sim games or life management sim games... I already deal with resource management and day to day tedium... let me hunt down some werewolves in Yharnam, or paraglide from a mountaintop in Hyrule. Plant, water, and wait for potatoes? Hard pass.

I'm waiting for the Animal Crossing X Daemon X Machina crossover.

I will buy this on any platform it comes out on... I want to support the developer for what is a labor of love. If there is any chance to have a ground-up remake of Saga... this is really it.

@mandlecreed You’re not alone Zelda II is so very underrated. I remember drawing maps of the overworld, dungeons, and making notes about what clue led to what secret. Hard.Core.

Holy cow both Zelda tunes playing simultaneously sounded righteous.

I was excited until I saw it in action. WTF is up with the little miniature bust-like character icons? Seriously?

@Timppis Good work sticking with it.

Tip 6: Be born with the genetics that make being fit physically easier to achieve. Want to eat that pizza? No problem, if you've got the genes

The rest of us unwashed masses will make do trying to make up for it with hard work and depression.

@Phoenixfire683 It’s noticeably absent. Gives me reason to doubt that it is as good as they were selling it to be.

Noticeably absent Blue Fire review on NL. After those developer highlights? Oof.

SMT Strange Journey would sell like hotcakes, Atlus...

@BloodNinja I really, seriously and wholeheartedly cannot get behind the aesthetic. Character models neither reflect the artwork nor the environmental visuals. Shame.

We’re doing R-Type Final TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

No but really I am verily excited.

@MischiefMaker I am legit listening to the soundtrack (also purchased on Bandcamp) right now as I checked NL. CRAZY.

"Operation Olympic" at the moment. Personal favorite is "The Beach 7AM" (though the extended OST song "Don't Go Alone" easily ties it)

The original Yooka-Laylee was, imho, far better than the sequel. I enjoy YL more than Mario Odyssey, frankly. If there was a way to take the physics/smoothness of SMO and the design/character of YL, I’d take eight.

I like the top-down concept of the Japanese cover, but the execution leaves a LOT of empty space at the center of the image. Interest is pulled in different places, but not logically. It's hard to conclude what you're supposed to look at.

lol not a chance would I clear space for this.

Man, the ball is legit my least favorite part of metroid. Game looks neat though.

@Slowdive I saw the headline and thought- just for a moment- that it was that game. I am disappoint.

Uhhhhh Oxenfree? Anyone? Oxenfree?

@nessisonett It's funny, levi's aren't expensive here in the states. It'll be expensive here because you won't be able to find it, though.

Collectibles lol pass

I WILL be buying the game though.

I don't know if they're Alaskan king, but... they FEEL huge.

With all of the articles on NL about Cyber Shadow, a friggin REVIEW would be nice BEFORE the intro sale ends. I've said it before and I'll say it again - putting a new game at a discount before you can ever play it just to get people to take the gamble is dirty business. NL, when are you going to post a review? After its release, or before?

It's like voyage dans la lune meets tetris meets space invaders... and none of it tempts me. I'm sure some people like it for the nostalgia but it's a hard pass for this guy.

I didn’t know I was into Pokemon until I saw this.

I'd love a review of cyber shadow... it kinda pisses me off that publishers offer sales up UNTIL the game releases, so you have to commit before you know if it's any good.

Not a chance I'm putting money into cloud gaming.

@Terra Fantabulous. My son will be delighted.

Is split screen back? I haven’t had it on my card since they got rid of it.

Good news so far, today. Trump’s last day in office, Balan Wonderworld demo announced, let’s keep it going.
@Mattness85 Yup. Part of why I’m so excited.

I just wish they made the character models look like their artwork... the SD style models are actually a big hurdle for me to clear, immersion-wise. I was not really able to get into the demo emotionally, because the somber tone and visuals just did not add up. It's a shame, because I'd like to give this game a try but aesthetically I don't think I can get behind it.

It’s a good sign when the trailer predominantly features gameplay and key aspects of the gameplay. I would put my money on this being an enjoyable, and punishing romp.
