@banado27 It's hard to say. I remember liking it alot and i played the crap out of the game but when I read that I couldn't think of a single song from the game lol. I went to youtube and listend to some and I do think they did good, they just didn't have any specific bangers. Some of it is really good, and some of it sounds a little generic and lost in the static, like the title theme song.
any company making creative and artistic things that thinks AI is a great selling point to people is really really thick-headed. They also jumped on NFTs. I don't know why they're like "DUDE THIS IS POPULAR LETS TELL PEOPLE WE'RE GONNA USE IT"
@Wheatly Wow yeah i'd agree it could be. I love the design, art style and gameplay look. It's like a weird 2d roguelike with metal gear solid 5 mixed in.
IDK why but that graphic style just screams "tons of bought unity assets" to me. Not sure if that's true but I very much dislike the visuals. Why does everyone's face textured in the "I literally could care less about anything" emotion?
@Raifteiri lol this isn't some crazy conspiracy. These sites do paid advertisements all the time. How do you think they keep open. Idk why that would be some wild accusation.
@broskiplays definitely still partly on gamefreak. Plenty of games out there with I’d say much better looking visuals that run great. Along with this gamefreak is probably far larger than the companies doing those ports. However I’d love to see a switch pro upgrade for the games that struggle.
@nessisonett very well put. I had a lot of fun messing with it one time, but it's sad when people try to like pass it off as "look what I made!", no you didn't make anything.
@PBandSmelly Yeah anytime i see ai art, it's usually obvious and very soulless. Obviously, there are also good ones, but the more I see the more I can tell.
It's just odd to me people are applauding making something so human into something so inhuman.
I just have no idea why you'd buy this unless you've played Mario kart tracks to death. Even then, there are a handful of other kart racers on the switch with IPs that kids know and like rather than random dinosaur people.
@Duncanballs lol it definitely does. To be fair thought I feel like we don't have many games that are like way far out of what they could do on gamecube. Nintendo graphical power has been pretty stuck there.
@CazSonOfCaz seemingly most people's opinion as well as mine is that it's much more pleasant to look at in most games though. Definitely all up to people's view
Not sure if i'm a huge fan of the direction they went. Looks pretty low quality random XBLA remake type. It was just a few tiny snippets though, so hopefully I'm wrong.
Maybe the presentation is just that good but the value doesn't really seem there. Yeah 13 games but turtles in time is repeated, and tournament fighters is repeated. I'd think it should be $30 max. It's cool, just like doesn't seem like $40 is a good value.
@Pres_Shinra I'd say the leaks are lame, but not sure why it would really be a con. It's easy enough to avoid and just like a part of announcements. Half of them turn out to be fake anyway.
It saddens me that we don't get big in person events anymore. I tell my self that atleast the directs are pretty well done and usually have some excitement. Now you're talking about taking that away from me too???
@Grail_Quest Very interesting point of view! Kinda interesting ps2/xbox look super old compared to their current gen. However, Switch games don't look a TON better than gamecube games
@Ironcore I don't see how it really compares to email. A letter went from taking days to send, to less than a second to send, easier to organize, easier to search, easier to store.
What part of crypto really revolutionizes anything that much? Sending money across borders is easier and quicker sure (though for your average person, this doesn't matter at all), but that's about the only thing I can possibly think of that is anywhere comparable.
I've researched the topic. I've invested in crypto, I've read a book or two on the topic. I think when you get the point of claiming it's going to be the new profound next step you really have to have something to back that up though because all research I've done doesn't really point there when you leave the small area of the cryptosphere.
@Ironcore i'm not really sure if that will be the case of not. Seems like if you have an NFT being used in the background in most cases, it's just the same thing as what we have now if you're talking about tickets or something.
That's the crux of the problem with web3 to me really. It's taking everything we do and somehow it sounds like it's all worse, all tied to money or tokens or more complicated ways of doing things under the guise of like unbanking people or decentralizing things that don't always need that.
What incentive do companies have outside of trying to maybe seem like they're keeping up with the times, or something.

Re: The First Review For Mario Vs. Donkey Kong On Switch Is In

Re: Poll: What Score Would You Give To The Super Mario Bros. Movie?
Kinda what I expected but they definitely missed some things I wanted to see, and the story was barrreeeeeeeebones.
Would have been cool to see something like him having to go through a castle at some point. Would have made a ton of sense.
7/10 still really good.

Re: Hands On: Afterimage Is The Most Beautiful-Looking Metroidvania We've Ever Played
@DiscoStuUK Yeah it's not even THAT great looking compared to any other big metroidvania. Sounds like a paid advertisement if I've ever heard one.
Re: Review: Onion Assault - A Bold, Breezy Homage To Super Mario Bros. 2
I just wish the main guy didn't look like some default example model in a game engine.
Re: Talking Point: So, When Will Nintendo Announce Its Next Console?
@BrintaPap definitely give the switch lite a go. It's wayyyyyy more comfortable.

Re: Feature: How Do Game Developers And Artists Feel About The Rise Of AI Art?
@Davzilla I think this is a bad view. Fighting to not make art some soulless thing is a worthwhile cause IMO.

Re: Lengthy Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer Unloads Heaps Of New Information
@WallyWest I mean from a company that cares about visuals. Pokémon colosseum looked like barf when it came out and now.
Re: Lengthy Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Trailer Unloads Heaps Of New Information
@WallyWest it looks like a launch title gamecube game. It's fine but it's a lot of low effort looks.
