@jrt87 i feel it's not too out there to gesture towards support when you need it? i've seen tons of creators do this
also "bland" =/= awful, lol
i always get the dude confused with alphaomegasin (who is a totally different breed of awful,) so i haven't seen him since maybe...2012? but there have to be stronger points than some of these
@Kevember gonna say, like half the site's articles are just something a staff member saw on twitter and those somehow get less complaints than these figureheads (kit/krysta and reggie) who are at least directly connected with nintendo's innerworkings
not that i mind either, but there feels like a weird hill to die on
this game looks very fun to someone who can wrap their brain around stocks and trading and all that, saw someone play it a bit back, but i think i'd probably keel over trying to understand it
i find the characters/story/artstyle (though the pixel art is swell) extremely bland but gladly welcome the ways it's made the series approachable to newcomers; permadeath can continue stuffing itself with socks
jet set radio is one of those games where...it's very aesthetically pleasing, and looks cool, but playing it is a bit of a nightmare at the worst of times and satisfactory at the best of times (at least the first one, mind you). if they bring it back, i hope they revamp the controls
@Ooyah @SwitchVogel @Not_Soos also worth keeping in mind is (as far as i know, at least) there's an element of venting/pushback in it for edmund mcmillen, whose family was extremely die-hard born again christians (as well as some catholics judging by his wiki page), which pushed him into a lot of trauma as a kid--a lot of isaac is butt and poop and fart jokes, but a lot of it is also darkly poking at abusive/absentee parents, super fundamentalists and televangelists, and what it's like growing up through a divorce, all through the lens of a kid who is having these mixed messages pushed on them (hence why a lot of it hinges on isaac viewing himself as a devil/has sinned/etc.), like what ooyah said but with the added context of mcmillen having lived through certain aspects of it
religious guilt is one of the worst kinds to work through, if mcmillen and nifflas are anything to go off of
i'm not sure what nmh i'd consider my favorite (each one has its own share of flaws) but i'd never call this horrible, it was roughly on par with 2 and 1
today we mourn user SNESDisney who would have had an opinion on this for sure
joking aside, i'd go ds/wii era, as much as i love the gamecube and gba era and its experimentation, i feel like a lot of gamecube games do not hold up terribly well, and although those are usually the exceptions to the rule, they're pretty big names to not hold up. the wii and ds' gimmicky nature also allowed a whole lot of experimentation and expansion on classic concepts in new ways while simultaneously adding a lot of accessibility
@-Lily- i've thought VII has had a wonderful sense of whimsy/discovery even if the plot isn't quite as straightforward as other entries (i.e.: each island has its own plot) and relatively standard gameplay in line with all the rest so far, what makes you say it's one of the weakest?

@Specter_of-the_OLED i'd prefer a complete package to anything else, can't take the good without the bad in a history collection
that said, there was 0 chance of them including max (it's a PSP game), 3 upper (naomi ports are notoriously rare), or hyper (this isn't even really a game) and to assume they would is just silly; even alpha 2 gold has only really been rereleased on the ps2 collection and most people usually think about it as the console version, which again wouldn't make sense in an arcade compilation
probably the worst outcome from the vote but the most predictable, here's hoping they shadowdrop some of the other, more interesting characters in with his dlc
were people really getting mad at kate taking sarcastic potshots at chess of all things? one of my favorite games but no need to be so haughty/snooty about it, yeesh--it's not like the 10,000,000-year reign of chess intellectuals in the boardgame-o-sphere will crumble because someone likes mouse trap better
anyways, any game with chess theming/variations on chess are usually great--recently Shotgun King on PC, as well as Chessformer, for instance

@DeathByLasagna seems to be nintendo's theme with mario spin offs as of late (mainly tennis and golf, obviously, but mario party hasn't come out unscathed either), has me worried about strikers

hoping Whoever Uses Those is in--EDIT AFTER LOOKING IT UP: looks like they're the first one on the list
@DestructoDisk many consumers and many reviewers prefer their TVs either warm or cool (I'm definitively a cool person) which goes into color accuracy and what is considered most accurate (tends to bias towards warm from reviews i've seen)
mass market reviews are also generally not for the enthusiast/professional who is getting really, really into the nitty-gritty about the best calibrated TV, to be fair
