Re: Disgaea 1 Complete - The Best Way To Rediscover This Turn-Based Tactical Triumph

@ekwcll “I feel that if you want the game badly enough, you would buy it regardless of the price.“
I used to own a copy of Liytle Samson for the NES that I picked up for $20 at a used game shop back in the 90s. It got stolen from my dorm during my college years. The game now sells for $800+, and often goes for over $1000 on eBay and other sites, and there’s no telling if it’s even an authentic copy. I want the game badly (the original cart, not a rom or clone), but I am not willing or able to put down that kind of money for it. I don’t think most people would be.

Re: Dark Souls: Remastered Switch Update Fixes Crashes And Improves Animations

My game crashed right after beating Bed of Chaos, and after reloading my game, Bed of Chaos is still alive. Does this update fix this? This is the most frustrating part of the game for me, and I really don’t want to doing this boss fight again. I’d rather do Ornstein and Smough again, because at least that fight was fun and a fair challenge, but this Bed of Chaos thing is just causing me cheap deaths.
I only have Dukes Archives, the DLC and Gwyn left to complete, so I’m really hoping there aren’t any more crashes that could potentially ruin my save file and progress.

Re: Review: Milon's Secret Castle (Wii Virtual Console / NES)

First of all, "one of those games you’ve never heard of" is a preposterously bold claim, especially for a Hudson game. I feel like this review was written by someone who has never played a third party NES game, and would probably also give a bad score to the Adventure Island series. While it's not as good as it's sequel, Do-Re-Mi Fantasy on the SFC (which they inexplicably fail to even mention here, yet they use the term "Milon fanboy"), it's a decent game on its own right. Time has not "amplified" it's shortcomings. It runs exactly the same on my NES and AVS as it did on my NES when it came out.

I hate when grown adults use the word "unfair" about gameplay mechanics. Grow up, really. This game isn't as bad are as hard as you make it out to be. The dam level is the only part that's moderately hard, and it's not even that bad. The game requires far less trial and error than Battletoads ever did, yet that game gets a ton of praise. You mention respawning enemies as an issue, but you never complained about the constantly respawning zebs in Metroid or the enemies that reappear if you move a pixel backwards in Ninja Gaiden. Just because you don't have the patience to get better at the game doesn't make it a bad game.
