this was one of my favorite quests as a kid, just mowing down the moblins and grass in the west side of hyrule and pumping the machine in the hopes of seeing new enemies and descriptions
it's not like this doesn't happen in japan either, mind you, there wouldn't be campaigns against movie filming or such if that was the case. i know for instance tamashii nations each year has a bunch of photos of "no-photo" exhibits leak onto 2ch-likes and figure aggregate sites
having played up to 4 this is more than fair (kiwami 1 and 2 are easily the weak spots so far, albeit ive heard people say the originals are much better, earlier comment saying kiwami 1 is meant to be played with expectations of 0 gameplaywise is spot on)
I think the fact a quarter of the comment section went to bashing the sitewide writing format doesn't really paint the review as ill informed or childish
@wiiware ...you mean the trident dragon quest has used for many, many years at this point (i wanna say since dq8 in 2005?) at least before it became the weird caltrop-esque design in 11
@Ryu_Niiyama I can report at least one of my two wavebirds is, haven't tried with the other cause it's usually the "player 2" controller
haven't tried the button combo though, didn't know about it until today
i mean, it's a hypnospace game for hypnospace fans at the end of the day. the entire game is continuing a joke from hypnospace to its logical conclusion. if you liked the joke of "14 year old kid with a name like Hunter from 1998-2002 on the web" there you're gonna clap like a seal, or at least i did
weird of people in this comment section to take pride in getting no play but I guess whatever makes you feel better about someone else being happier than you
the comments kvetching about the tagline/article by saying nintendo is family friendly are very funny to me considering they've literally published two bayonetta games at this point and have a character who can only be described as Tits the Monkey
i still don't get why this is even something to be against it's the most minimum effort gesture ever to take, and it's not like it's taking away from people to be credited. it's like getting mad they named a sidewalk after MLK
yet to run into any issues playing scarlet on cart besides some minor slowdown in places. i think people just keep their games running too long which has been an issue with MANY switch releases at this point
the fact this game's marketing (i.e. here and official twitter) is founded on so many corny platitudes has me doubting the original game's messaging, which is eating at me because it hit hard back at release

@N00BiSH that's what's messing with me actually, it feels way further from the Ko Takeuchi artstyle that kind of defines the series
