Resurrected is absolutely brilliant and I love it!
It's extremely well made, filled to the brim with brilliant ideas, it looks, sounds and plays awesome. It's just incredible.
This feels very much like cut content and it's overpriced.
Nintendo this gen has been a mixed bag to say the least. If this is a sign of things to come, I'll be waiting for them to become the outsider again so that they start doing things properly like they used to.
@MasterGraveheart Fans loved the rather clear implication that she was gay and kind of hated when it turned out she was bi. At the end of the day the creator is going to have control over the characters he wants to create. Also even from a realistic standpoint just like there is no purity of the heterosexual couple that would be the end all be all, there is no sexual orientation that cannot change or evolve and if people believe there is they are kind of missing the point. The fact that they want really hard that a character becomes an icon of their condition doesn't really matter.
People just didn't like Viola and didn't like the ending so they found other stuff to complain about.
And well it turns out the ending is great and Viola is awesome so yeah maybe don't listen to hardcore fans too much they'll make your game about one thing and one thing only, always play the same game after game, unapproachable and they'll make you write a scenario that looks like a fanfic.
Okay the construct is absolutely definitely Link.
I'm not sure I like that. I mean how would it work with TotK's story? Maybe it's just ancient hero DNA infused in that thing and not actual TotK Link?
EDIT : wait, is there even an ancient hero at this point in the story? We don't know where it sits in the timeline, if the ancient hyrule in TotK is situated before Skyward Sword, there hasn't been a hero yet.
@The-Chosen-one
Oh if it's Fi embodied on the other hand I'm absolutely going to lose my sh**
I loved the first movie so whatever it is I'll gladly check it out. Now when it comes to games, I like the Galaxy franchise, but in terms of gameplay I would like them to at least keep some of the exploration found in Odyssey.
Honestly they can go whichever direction they see fit. I trust them, but they shouldn't forget about older/more skilled gamers who love Mario. Bring more challenge to the franchise in general. Not just the couple last levels of a game, make challenge more prominent I general.
It's also got me thinking I need to download Dead Cells again, y'know. I need to get back into Cave Story, and a bunch of other quite challenging platformers that I shrugged and put down because it was easier to stick Assassin's Creed on and spend two hours avoiding everyone while I tried on new outfits. What a fool I've been.
Welcome back friend
EDIT : hum does anyone know how the quote blocks work around here. I'm pretty sure it used to be [q] but it doesn't seem to work. I ended up using italics and bold. It does the job I guess.
@the_beaver Yep! All of those basically. Resident Evil and MonHun, FF and DQ! What is Monolith Soft working on? What is up with first party beyond Beyond? What about that Gamefreak game? Kid Icarus Uprising HD when? Conker anyone? Okami 2 and on that note what about Bayo and Astral Chain? So many questions
@SlimeDragon I'm sure it wasn't there pre patch either. I noticed right away when starting the game and it was pre patch. I just assumed it was either me who needed to look into the menus a bit more, or that it needed to be patched in. After the patch though I checked and it turns out there is no option and it's still not there.
I don't have the game yet but what I understand from people being unhappy with the difficulty is that they mean to say not everything needs to be darksouls. And even though Dark Souls was a clear inspiration to the first game, the first game was NOT dark souls either. And some gamers might consider it was part of its charm that it wasn't.
Well there you are, it works fine. Texture pop in and object pop in is a concern though. Though I see no mention of it here in the comments.
It goes to show that there is subjectivity at play with these things. The GVG guy might be particularly bothered or distracted by fps issues. For me it's pop in and it has always been. I don't mind occasional fps drops here and there or even I couldn't care less about texture quality, this I found out I really don't care about. But I'm watching this video and all I see that could be a problem for me is texture/light and object pop in. So maybe that GVG guy is not actively trying to push an anti switch agenda or whatever some crazy people come up with.
Now the inevitable question : this vs Ninja Gaiden?
Also both games are unoptimized for NS2 and that's a pity really, but Shinobi seems a better fit for the new console since at least it is 60fps. Please release NS2 patches! Both games deserve it so much.
Damn that's quite a lot of games. Star Wars, Cronos, Daemon and Pac Man 2 are all possible depending on the reviews. And then there is Sliksong and Final Fantasy Tactics.
@Bizzyb
Haha yeah I was talking about third parties being weirdly late to the party. There is this whole dev kit ordeal so this might be the problem but still a strange situation.
@progx
Yeah absolutely. My comment was not very clear, I was talking about third parties specifically.
All hail OoE, that game finally got the credit it deserved all along.
For the record when it released it was considered the worst of the bunch because it was deemed too hard. Now the only thing too hard about this whole notion is the way it makes me laugh, but hey that's how it was and I even remember ign I believe writing an article about it.
Dawn is still an excellent game of course and so is Portrait but Order is something else.
To me it was a Japanese trend to start with, was it not? That's why I tend to say cross. Xenoblade Chronicles X is definitely a cross. It's XenoCross it's so cool damnit!
Okay here is my hot take. I like when not all of my games play the same. I enjoy Bananza and BotW button placement, I instantly fell in love with traditional MonHun and I adore that Metroid 3 uses A to jump and X to shoot.
I would never change those because I like that there is actually a layer of adapting to the game and learning to play it. It adds to the fun for me. I also like to think that when someone makes a game and takes a decision that goes against years of convention about how to use buttons on a controller, it's probably not a decision that's taken lightly and there's probably a reason behind it. I like to try to understand such thought process.
Well I see this and the first thing that comes to mind is okay, he's warning us that Sliksong will not be shown. I mean that's literally what it means.
Uh yeah. It's obviously japan this time around. At least for me, it went from god is that ugly for US to hey that's actually pretty cool for EU and finally okay there's no competition there for JP.
I'm looking at the game and it can't be realistically very hard to port. Or at least it shouldn't. Now hold on a minute, no I'm not a developer, but I own SF6 and Cyberpunk and yeah, this gives you an idea of what's doable with the system. Now maybe SF6 for the example required a ton of work but I'm not sure that's the case.
That's great! One of the very few games that I don't have in my GC collection. Alongside Fzero GX and Wario World. I'll be super happy to replay it and finally have it available anytime in some official capacity. Convenient!

Re: Review: HautePad X Arcade Controller For Switch & Switch 2 - A Modular Masterclass At A Premium Price
@w1p3out
Of course I'm nitpicking there, the pad looks really good regardless.
I imagine I would at least turn off the led layout though so that at least I'm not distracted by the buttons not being what they should.

Well, NS2 boxarts definitely look cooler without the game key card banner.
Re: Mario Kart World's First European Online Event Gets Underway Later This Month
I really need to replay this game and learn those tracks. It's pretty great but DK, Star Wars and Cyberpunk have eaten up my free time.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Operation C / Probotector (Game Boy)
US is the weakest of the bunch imo. It's very generic and that pose is kind of absurd to be honest.
On the other hand I actually really like that the EU one is a POV of some alien monster you have to imagine for yourself.
I voted for that one.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 For Switch?
The price is outrageous to be blunt.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2
I am happy about this of course but can't help but think the first person RE were not the ones I was hoping for.
Anyone has anything to say in their defense to help the hype a little? I have to say that direct was a whole bunch of nothing for me.

I think it's been rumored. I would love to see that, Rayman 2 is a major N64 game.
