Loved this incredibly difficult game back in the day. Sorry to see it doesn't have save state or rewind for those of us who just want to have fun trundling down memory lane.
Also, I desperately wish that the limited run edition doesn't include a model of the ship. Don't even know how that didn't happen.
Black Water was a very pleasant surprise and totally had me hooked. I've replayed it since and it's still a game I'll always remember fondly for a very compelling and unique experience. And yea, it's a bit clunky, but that sort of works under the circumstances.
If this had a model of one of the ships like the R-Type Tactics 9A Arrowhead, I'd be totally sold. That was such a cool preorder bonus that I bought the game just for the model. I miss the days of preorder bonuses for most games, sigh.
After Metroid Prime 4 finally comes out, maybe I'll be I interested enough to get a Switch2. There was no flagship game like prime 4 or even Mario Odyssey 2 to get me interested at launch. Still waiting for Fallout 3, NV, 4, Dead Space 1-3, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1-3, Monster Hunter World, on switch btw. Currently playing through most of those on my brother's 360.
@jsty3105 So they're not bricked/dead/totally unusable? That's what I had read, which seems very extreme. Well if only banning is the actual case then it sucks to get banned from online services but that was the risk they took knowing Nintendo have banned consoles before, or threatened to do so, I don't know anyone personally who's been banned.
Yea sorry, you can't literally brick/break people consoles. After a person buys it, it's his property to do ANYTHING he wants with it. Yea you can void the warranty, yea you could even ban the console from online services maybe. But straight up destroying $500 of private property is wrong/illegal/not okay. Piracy is breakage, you're never gonna stop it. Just accept it and budget accordingly.
God no, there's no killer flagship title like switch 1's long awaited Zelda botw. I've decided to just wait till at least Metroid prime 4 gets a release date. There's no Pikmin 5, Zelda, Mario Odyssey 2, Luigi's mansion 4 and no Metroid at launch.
It's Strider, he even looks like Hiryu from Strider now, but with more demons and less robots. Looks fun tho. I tired of the more 3D NGs after the first one.
Definitely, it was the first game I played in the series and I loved it. I also really enjoyed #2 especially and #3 as well, but X holds a special place in the series for me. Can't wait to play it again.
There should really be an option in this case where you can download only the stuff that you want and also delete what you don't want clogging up your memory later, like the bonus, non-game stuff.
Nooooo,tried to preorder like two months out and got denied, went to get pikmin4 preorder, day one, and nope, already no pyra/mythra amiibos left UGH!! And sold out EVERYWHERE online. Total Fail.
I have to agree. I'm glad to have totk and I'm having lots of fun with it. But it does often feel haphazard and I feel like I'm stretched in every direction at once. Whereas, in botw it was a straighter line working my way through the game and that was ultimately more rewarding and relaxing
Oh I loved the divine beasts and was scared that the only semblance of a dungeon in totk was the horrible chasms. Glad to know there's a few proper dungeons SOMEWHERE out there.
It's a shame I never played the Torna DLC. If it had come out before I had finished the excellent Xeno 2, I would have been happy to keep playing. But it was a month or two afterwards in my case and I've never been able to get into it. It is still on my list of games to get around to one day, so perhaps it'll get it's day in the sun.
This was one of the first GBA games I played, and it was the Japanese version since the local game store had imports and there were very few games on offer at launch. Pretty cool and weird game. Definitely a lost gem
What's a $200ish option for just having a handheld emulator machine? Something that can emulate at the very least ps1 and GameCube, as well as all the older stuff. DS emulation would be a big plus. 3ds would be awesome, but I don't know the current state of that either. Any suggestions, lmk. Thx.
Well I kinda hated the picture book level in B3, no attack ability and it was confusing AF how to that damn treasure chest, omg. But it's Bayonetta related and if they added combat, yea, I'll probably buy it anyway.
I like the film and the game was indeed fun. However it is PAINFULLY short. That's my only complaint. If maybe there had been a few more entries in the series, it would offset the disappointing length of Mummy Demastered.
Hey wait, what about Cereza in the first game? Shes sorta somehow young Bayonetta, I guess maybe pulled through time also? It was sorta confusing cause I think she was real and not just a hallucination or something. She hung out with Luka for a while, so he could see her.
Literally my favorite game of all time, to this day. It really needs to be the extended Saturn version as it added a new small area and some baddies and changed a few pieces of music. Oh and Maria with triple jump was a playable character too. The original voiceovers although corny at times, are far superior to the remade voice work. Keep the original dialogue, it at least include the option to use it. I have played sotn many times, on many platforms and I played all three of the original versions, us and jp ps1 versions as well as the Saturn version.
Ahhhh, just scooped up my Definitive Works edition today. And I only pre-ordered it three days ago!! Haha. I'm one lucky genius 👌 I now have the special edition and art books for all three Xeno games 👍

Re: Sony's Back On Switch With A Delightful New PSP Remaster

Hm, the first one was kinda fun, but gets fairly difficult, the second one was impossible.

Re: PSA: Nintendo Reminds Us It's Winding Down Gold Points Next Week

Re: Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Announced For Switch
I liked the original legacy of kain better but my brother loved the soul reavers. Why didn't they just go ahead and include the third one too?
Re: Soapbox: Where The Heck Is Fallout 3 On Switch?
Long overdue. When the switch came out I was hoping for ports of Fallout 3, Vegas, AND Fallout 4. Would buy them all again in a heartbeat.
