Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Playing Final Fantasy XIV Online On Switch 2?

garfreek

Never played more than a few hours Maple story or whatever that was called and an hour of that really famous free one no one talks about nowadays. So I consider myself to be a total MMORPG noob. I don't like the concept of having to find other players to do stuff real time, I hate that they made these numbered titles so now I always think 14 is the one with Lightning.

But we'll see, I mean it apparently has a story so now I gotta see it! ☺️😄

Re: "It's Truly Baffling" - Shigeru Miyamoto Comments On The Mario Galaxy Movie's Critical Reception

I feel people forgot that a quest storyline is perfectly fine. They have a final destination, meet wacky things along the way, Bowser has a massive yes maybe no character development... It's fine guys! Like this is essentially what a book like The Hobbit was too, and I see that as great literature.

Could they have done more, absolutely! Is it a masterpiece, heck no! Would it have helped if they hadn't spoiled literally everything except 1 thing in the last 15 minutes...also a big yes!

But I feel the criticism is a bit harsh.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

@Nao120 Oh yhea, if you're looking for a Faithfull adaption this will not do! The musical itself was salvaged from an awfull book that basically slapped on the Oz paint on his fantasy world to sell books.

The musical does adhere to the original Judy Garland movie at least pretty 1:1 in it's second half. It's a great companion piece of that in my eyes, giving every character and it's actions a new look.

Dominic Noble has a whole trilogy about what they changed from each itteration to the next including from OG Oz to the movie with Judy. He calls the series "Lost in Translation" Maybe worth a watch if Oz is a special interest to you!

@Nao120 Oh Wicked is pretty impressive in my eyes! From a technical standpoint it's amazing for it's use of practical effects. From a music standpoint the songs are just so catchy and song by two of the greatest female vocalists of this time.

I mean I totally get why this wouldn't be your thing. But the praise was pretty justified I think?

Re: Fox McCloud Blasts Into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie

There's really no surprise left in this movie is there?! They had Wart and Star fox and Pikmin....all ready to blow our minds and now what?!

Hate that I can't see it in it's first week because every second of this movie will be spoiled rotten because no one uses a spoiler warning! Including Nintendolife!!!

I saw people complaining about the randomness, and with good measure! There's so much that hinges on you getting that room. And perma upgrades do slightly make it easier every time, but I've got a life!

Like the review said I started obsessing over getting into that damn room. But after knowing what to do, having all the pieces laid out and ready to go.... Five hours later I'm still resetting because it didn't give me the room, or I got the room but not the item...

Finally stopped and watched the ending on YouTube. Not proud, but after about 20 hours and a lot still to cover I'm cutting my losses!

Re: Mario Kart World Could Be Getting A Battle Mode Update

@TripleJump Oh that would be amazing! Thea, browsing through these comments I can see how many QOL improvements there could be made. Starting with sliders for music and SFX 😂

Still really love what's there, I feel there's a lot of love and polish in there already but really glad they keep working on it!

Re: Nintendo Direct For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Announced

@Dman10 Worse is the people plastering those spoilers everywhere that's connected to internet so I REALLY can't escape them! Not to mention Nintendo themselves that insist that I see every surprise and then go for the....plot? Or something. Which will be written on a post it because Miyamoto is still sticking his thumb in there somewhere!

Re: Mario Kart World Could Be Getting A Battle Mode Update

@Smackosynthesis Honestly, yes! You can now track a lot of the collectibles and search when waiting in the lobby I believe.

But no, for you it will probably never be good enough. No matter that you got this alongside 3 speeds, a mirror mode and 2 different ways of playing through the GP and one through Knockout tour. Can you stop now? We get it, it will never be good enough for you because the price is too steep and you don't like their core design choice. Perfectly fair, but can you just say that instead of these snarky one liners I've been hearing for 6 months every single time this game is discussed?
