Re: E3 2022 In Doubt As Journalist Claims Digital Event Is "Probably" Also Cancelled

@CharlieGirl Yeah but other events like Summer Game's fest and the VGA's sort of do the same thing.

We'll never go back to the times when game trailers showed actual gameplay early on and weren't just a teaser for an announcement of when a game was going to be shown off.

Add to the fact that there are a lot of forced politics pushed at these events, and you can see why most people view that these types of events have changed for the worst.

Re: Prominent Gaming YouTubers' Likenesses Sold As NFTs Without Consent

@nessisonett Quit spinning this whole thing as if women are mainly affected by it, it's happening to everyone. If there are certain people that are easy on the eyes, then yeah, they're going to get that type of attention. Seems obvious.

All this happening is yet another reason why a law needs to be set in place to ban NFTs permanently just like crypto farming.

@Bunkerneath The way you worded it made it sound like you were being sincere. People do like to point to the sales numbers and popularity of the Switch as a big reason why more companies should invest into porting and optimizing Switch games.

But because of the Switch tax and current events that are happening with electronic component shortages and such, it's no wonder why some companies are taking the easy route and giving us download-only or Cloud gaming versions of certain games that would take time to thoroughly port.

I mean, how much does Nintendo pay other companies for ports of AAA games?

Re: Best Spider-Man Games On Nintendo Consoles

@Big_Fudge I mean, that game has a lot going for it like with the story presentation and graphics but the combat is really stiff and boring compared to prior Spider-man games, if we're being honest.

I find it especially funny how Spider-man punches a guy so hard square in the jaw that he is launched 20 feet into the air and is slowly suspended in the air for minutes while Spidey pummels the life out of him until he falls to the ground and he is still alive.

Everything in the combat you witness is so easily choreographed-looking that when he fights it looks like I'm watching a ballet recital or a generic hollywood movie fight scene where there feels like little weight being shown in the fights.

Compare the weird attempt at Insomniac's Spider-man for doing DMC-inspired combat to previous games like Web of Shadows or Shattered Dimensions and the absolute power and finesse witnessed in the attacks Spider-man can preform, you'll look and say "Huh, I guess Spider-man PS4 doesn't have the greatest combat."

Re: Review: Star Fox 64 - A Cinematic Series High Point

@anynamereally Because Star Fox Zero is dog water.
If there's any game that screams, "Hey, remember Star Fox 64?
Well, we sure do because it's the only game we'll keep on making due to it being the only one we see as profitable." then it's that game no thanks in large part to the Star Fox 64 elitists who keep asking for the same thing never mind the fact that we could've had better gameplay innovations with ideas from Star Fox Assault or Command, but nope they had too throw out the baby with the bathwater and not think what would be a good idea and instead play it safe as usual.

Re: Sony's Censors Strike As Switch Gets '20 Ladies' While PS4 Gets '20 Bunnies'

@victordamazio You can all thank SJW's for that, they essentially have the influence that the conservative Christians wish they had. And people still dunk on those conservatives like they're that relevant as if this is still 2004 and they're still complaining about violence. Now there can be as much violence and gore possible in a game but if you say something deemed problematic or show some pretty women, then that's no good according to everyone.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work

russell-marlow

@nessisonett Well compared to you, there seem too be conflicting reports from other people, I hope more people notice how low effort this is even for the price point. We don't deserve this shoddy mess especially for how much they're expecting us to pay. Pathetic.

Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?

russell-marlow

@NinjaWaddleDee The only way for it to fail and let Nintendo know is to mention to other people not too purchase it, it's that simple. That way they will either offer more content than just what's shown or lower the price a good amount.

But so many are still so ignorant and they will cave in and buy it because they want too play Ocarina of Time for the 1000th time when so many more convenient options exist and yet they do it because they just like splurging their money frivolously.

Re: Suda51 Says It Would Be "Really Cool" To Reboot Or Remake Nintendo's Older IP

russell-marlow

@Ghutto Does Nintendo pay attention to any American made IP's outside of their own core franchises?

I don't even think Star Tropics was mentioned in a Smash Bros. game, and if Sakurai doesn't know of it's existence then there's a strong chance Nintendo themselves probably doesn't care much unfortunately.

But a game like Eternal Darkness is long overdue for a sequel or port, but of course Nintendo is doing nothing with it.
