@MSaturn I agree mixed feelings about the overall experience. Ending was fenomenal. But not a huge fan of crafting and Im fairly confident I don't feel a ton of want to explore since for the most part it's a recycled world. Not a bad game, or even just a good game by any means, just not sure I enjoyed it overall more than BOTW.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Top 5 Nintendo DS Games?

Tetris DS in underrated.One of my memories of the DS was with it.

I don't remember the details of it but I got to a point where I was so great at it I wasn't dying. This went on for at least a week, when I would just close it and put it on the charger at night. Eventually I wanted to play another game so I had to do the painful thing on ending it myself. I'm glad I did but it was nuts!

Re: More Zelda-Like Puzzle Crawling Arrives On Switch This Month In 'Dungeons Of Dreadrock 2'

I haven't played any crazy top down Zeldaesk indie games, not because they don't exist but everytime I see one highlighted they are usually really dark? Like theres like a glow around the character constantly?

Kinda like enter the gungeon, I guess I wish these environments were better lit? I know its for mood and world building and maybe its my eyes just getting old and not liking to strain to just see whats going on.

Any other good Zeldaesk indie games people would recommend? Possibly without the darkness?

Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch Games

Man I hope MP4 is something I'd like. I love the sidescroller metroids but the 3D I've never really enjoyed, I liked watching my brother play them grow up, but thats about it. Also I really really hope the new pokemon is good, I miss looking forward to their releases, they have just been hard to believe in.

Otherwise I might pick up DK, I never got returns before, I almost did on 3DS. I'll wait for the review to see which system it'd be better to get it on.

Re: Anniversary: The Legend Of Zelda: The Minish Cap Turns 20 Today

In high school I wanted to revisit the game and picked up a cart and about 5 years ago I learned it was a fake. I got a legit copy sometime within the last year and stopped in the graveyard section of the game. Just kinda lost interest.

I have a hard time ranking it high on my lists because of all of the silly fetch quests, which is also part of the reason why I stopped in the graveyard. You go to Dampe to get a key, you get the key, a bird steals the key, Dampe tells you to go get the key, you retrieve the key within seconds from the bird and then turn around to give the key back to Dampe so he can open the gate.

Why did he give it to you then?? What was the point of all that?

It's stuff like that just feels like padding that really rubs me poorly in the game. I loved it as a lad, but find it difficult to revisit, even though I do love the overall narrative (no spoilers here), art style, core mechanics and dungeon themes. It just feels like they had enough ideas for a 8 hour game and really wanted it to land in the 20 hours instead.

Not a bad Zelda by any means, just wouldn't recommend it before other giants like A Link Between Worlds.

Re: Switch Online's Latest "Mature" N64 App Update Appears To Fix Some Perfect Dark Emulation Issues

Not to get too churchie on a video game website, but it reminds me of the parable of the laborers in the vineyard where people who worked all day were paid the same as those who only worked an hour and those that worked all day were upset about it.

I didn't get it right away because I didn't see the value in it. I think in both situations early adopters and people that worked at the beginning of the day are reasonably upset, but that's what those early birds signed up for.

I'm grateful as a late adopter of the NSO+Expansion pack I don't have to pay more than those who paid day 1. For me it's been worth it, library was great when I came in and I still pay the same as those first people when the library wasn't as flushed out. I'm also grateful that there's no penalty for being a late adopter.
