@DestructoDisk I feel like this more says you haven't read many reviews than anything; movie/television (and restaurant, certainly) reviews, in the paper or otherwise, are much in line with this one, even just regular product rules tend to have subjective biases (i.e.: a review of a speaker saying it's too bassy, or a TV's colors looking off--this varies person to person)
this is the entire reason behind looking at multiple reviews
@UltimateOtaku91 if people can be fans of books without reading romantic novels, and fans of music without liking rap or country, people can be fans of anime without liking ecchi/isekais/etc.
can't make an earthbound/zelda fangame without being told to make your own zelda/earthbound inspired game, can't make an earthbound/zelda inspired game without being called unoriginal, kind of a catch 22 for this sort of thing
@Farflung as someone who also is, I'm glad they spoke up and didn't see it as virtue signaling at all, let alone "made it look like a joke"
ridiculous to come in here calling someone a "Repugnant Individual who needs to Shut Up", especially after a mod has already said "alright get on topic again please"
@UmbreonsPapa i think the usual arguments is sharing a name causes confusion in consumers (see: grandma buying game) and leads to missed sales because people think they need to play the previous title
@BloodNinja i'm not entirely sure what you're referring to here but i'm already close enough to the edge of off-topic as is so it might not be worth pushing
for what it's worth, I was replying to comment 23, if that helps?
as someone who played fortnite maybe four times, this is seriously enticing--there was nothing worse than getting down to the last 2 players and having to come face to face with an entire self-repairing castle
@BloodNinja I mean, the reddit comment links to that, yes? (2 articles, one link to another reddit post that is easily corroborated) hence why I said "compiling various things"; did you click through or just ignore it on basis of being a reddit comment?
@Atmosfear this is worth noting as well so thank you, looks like OpenOOT/Open Ocarina is the one made by this other dude which is commonly labelled just "OOT PC Port"; it's easy to see where someone could not know which it is
@Euler (insert spiel on this being legal that others have written for me a million times on other articles)
@ThePizzaCheese you seem really desperate to shut down any conversation about this and frankly it's a little disconcerting
it's not like him being horrible makes the OOT port less of an achievement, it just puts a bad air about it (and from what i'm reading he already didn't have a lot of standing in the community due to stuff like this; SgtMarkIV-style), and i don't think it's a bad thing if people know so it can factor in whether or not to support it (and/or opt for a fork of the project)
@Travisemo007 this comment is so corny it's ridiculous, just say you like the anime and go, no need to bring out the "I really need to justify my enjoyment of something on the internet so I am gonna play loose with moral arguments" playbook
thought we as anime fans had moved past trying to justify the "actually 100000" trope but i guess acknowledging a part of something sucks makes the entire thing suck to some people
mediocrity but a lot of references fans would love seems to be the running theme for a lot of anime games, and i guess Boobies the Dragon and her Wonderful Friends is no exception
thought it was a tad overrated but i admit part of that is that it is SO hard to go back to the games before DS/Wii style drifting for me now (barring 64)
i am absolutely baffled at the "No thanks. I want to keep the games." comments--YOU AREN'T KEEPING THEM WITH THE NSO NES/SNES/N64/GENESIS/DLC PACKS ALREADY, THIS IS ARGUING THAT PORTION COULD HAVE A WIDER SELECTION--it is literally in no way a downgrade to expand it a la gamepass
like, complain about it if you want, but it is not an exclusively XBOX/Microsoft thing, that's the entire point!
jeesus, never thought i'd see a bunch of nintendo fans so violently against a bit of fun
@Unit_DTH well, part of that is also the amount of time between console release and the now, most of the consoles people are nostalgic for now are like 15-40 years old, the wii u is just almost at 10 years now
i suppose i have to wonder the veracity of the claim but considering the effort required to counter-claim etc. is so weighed against the one who was copyright struck, does it even matter
been wondering why fangames and stuff like this always get the "what if they did something unique and their own instead!" but never fanart, mockup videos of What If Game Was Super HD/faux anime trailers, etc.
just makes me think about how the dude working on dragon ball super was originally doing dragon ball fan-manga, and i doubt he was getting the geek equivalent of "Well if you just APPLIED yourself"
@Haruki_NLI i don't get why people don't seem to realize this (or, worse, do but don't care)--the snappiness is such an insane boon it's unreal, for both user and developer

Re: Smash-Style Brawler Rivals Of Aether Is Getting A Sequel With 3D Graphics, Launching In 2024
i know they have reasons for making it more similar to smash, but not having the walljump recovery as main/parry as the main "guard" is pretty lame
also not a huge fan (although i at least get it) of the "unique and cool pixel style gets a sequel in 3D" that keeps happening (HLD, ROR, RAE)
@ChromaticDracula may I suggest the first game
