Re: Sega "Working On Fixing A Variety Of Issues" In Sonic Origins

I’ve really enjoyed this game and don’t really understand the complaints in pricing. However, I wish Sonic CD was replaced by 4. Or Mania. But as a fan of 4, I wish that got more attention.

I guess the point was CD underwhelmed. Cool premise, but how it was executed took away from the gameplay. Probably won’t return to it after a single play through.

I bought this as a kid when it came out, and found it harder than the Squaresoft RPGs I was obsessed with. Sadly, I didn’t get real far, as times were moving ahead-and I was busy playing N64! Around 2006 I went and started a new game on the SNES. I loved it! The first few hours I definitely found to be the hardest, but after getting the 3rd and then 4th party members it really took off! Learning new powers was amazing too!
While this may not be in my top 5 games of all time, it does rank high! I’m glad to be able to play it again on <brag>original system and cart</brag>.

Re: Chocobo GP's Latest Switch Update Addresses Various Online Issues, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

I don’t mind the micro transactions for some things, like new characters, or color changes. But the fact that you basically need to micro transact AND grind to get things seems unacceptable…of course, this shouldn’t be a surprise from SE. Remember, they told us we shouldn’t expect their games to be fun.

I like the gameplay…and wish I could just play more single player…though I’m not even half way to unlocking Cloud….

Re: Some Trainers Are Worried About Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Returning To "Traditional" Catching Mechanics

I don’t know why people thought it would be Arceus style. Just because you can see Pokémon in the wild? Like in some of the other games?

Also, and I get that for adult gamers, I’m probably in the minority, but I’ll be glad for it to return to the classic style. I love playing Pokémon where it’s pretty easy, and I can just leisurely do what I want.

Arceus is great, and the battle system is amazing, but it’s also one that keeps you on your toes a little more. Nothing wrong with that, but it’sa game I want to play when I have a little longer to play and able to concentrate more.

Re: Retro: How A Remarkable Street Fighter Port Soured The Relationship Between Capcom And Nintendo

@Donutman the whole Nintendo PlayStation thing, if that’s what you’re referring to, often gets only part of the story told, so Nintendo comes out as the clear bad guy. It’s reported less often how Sony was trying to take advantage of the situation where they would reap most of the profits.

Nintendo was wrong in switching partners so late, but Sony has its fair share of blame for this happening.

Well, this is obviously gonna have lots of info on Kirby and Triangle Strategy. I’d imagine getting some smaller updates on the B-tier coming too (Chocobo GP!).
Then maybe news on a new game or 2!

I’m thinking we will finally learn about Chrono Cross, and it possibly being available after the presentation. I also think we will hear about another something with their recent friendliness with Microsoft.
