Re: Review: Paper Mario (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)

Might pick it up when it comes to Europe, but I'm a bit sceptical as the Mario & Luigi games got VERY repetitive after a while in my opinion.
It's been a while since I played Dream Team Bros. though, so maybe I should give it another shot.

While Codename Steam looks like a lot of fun, I just don't have the time and money to buy and play it. There are so many games coming and so many that I still need to finish, I'll sadly need to skip a few this year...

Re: Poll: Do Video Game Reviews Need To Have A Score?

somotodsyo

Scores make people compare games in ways they're not meant to be compared by. A game with a score of 9 isn't always much better than one with an 8, but there are people who think so. So, I prefer a label system like Eurogamer and GameXplain, so that there still is a short way to tell how much you (as a reviewer) like a game, without people instantly comparing it to other games.

Re: Hands On: We Check Out The New Nintendo 3DS XL

I got my Ambassador Edition today, and I'm really impressed. The menu and apps like Miiverse are a lot faster and smoother, the super stable 3D works really well and the start and select buttons are back to where they belong. C-stick feels weird at first, but it definitely makes Smash feel more... Smash.

Saying goodbye to my old 3DS is gonna be difficult, though. Bought it day one, and I have so many great memories of it.

Re: Poll: Which is the Best Mario Kart Game?

Hmm, 8 is probably my favourite because of, well, everything except the items. 7 is a close second though, they had a perfect item balance and still some pretty good track designs and music. Looks pretty good too. Wii was a ton of fun, but really unbalanced and ugly. Every game past that hasn't aged all that well in my opinion, though I still have some nostalgia towards DS, as that was pretty much the first game I've ever played.

Re: Video: This Is What Watch Dogs Looks Like On Wii U

Hmm, I believe I said something like "they probably just want to make the game run as good as possible on the Wii U, so that's why they delayed it." a few months ago. Looks like I was right after all.

Still interested in the game, will probably pick it up once I'm done with Smash and Captain Toad. Knowing Ubi, the price should be a bit lower by then.

Re: Video: Early Sonic Boom: Rise Of Lyric Footage Hints At Game-Breaking Bugs

I just don't understand why they chose a development studio who has never created a video game before. This is just Big Red Button trying random stuff out to see what works and what doesn't.

It's so sad, too. Action/adventure platformers like these have become pretty rare, so I've been really looking forward to this.

And sadly, even the biggest Sonic fans who were actually looking forward to this and who DID get a review copy don't seem to be happy with the game, either...

Re: SEGA Outlines Impressive Plans For Sonic Boom Merchandise

@Yorumi My original post was a bit vague, sorry for the confusion. There is definitely a market for both high quality and cheap figures, however I do think the quality for cheap toys is bigger, as there are most likely more children asking there parents for toys than collectors who want there figures to be really high quality. There's nothing wrong with any of the two, there are just different people with different desires.
