Re: Shiny Rayquaza Is Coming To Pokémon Scarlet & Violet

@Pillowpants I get what you mean. Not to sound elitist but I completed every 7 star raid thus far they are meant to be hard compared to the 6 star raids after all the pokemon in the 7 star raids have perfect nature's, IVs, and are lvl 100. What makes them unfun is when you try to tackle them with Randoms
And all they see is the pokemon they have to fight and not it's tera type.

Re: Japanese Charts: Mario Party Jamboree Holds Off A Bunch Of New Releases

traceman

@Anti-Matter then just focus on ps5. It's bombing in Japan and I hate to be the one to tell you this but the fact that it's in it's 4th year and the only game people actively give a collective crap about is astro bot. You know a game that sold really well in the first couple of weeks of release but Sony never promoted. Why? Because all they care about is trying to push live services and a non live service game doing amazingly well vs a turd like concord destroys that narrative that they deluded themselves with.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Mega Man Zero 3

Grew up the NA version and it still looks cool with zero in a dynamic pose just wished it wasn't cropped so awkwardly. The Japanese version gets my vote for showing not just zero but also Omega ( the big dude on the right) giving you a subtle hint about the story.

Re: Soapbox: Metroid’s Mother Brain And The Rewind Dilemma

traceman

It depends on the game I only use save states for games that save via password, or if I need to run an urgent errand so afterwards I get back to the action quickly. As far as rewind I just play the game without them the first time and then on repeat playthroughs all bets are off.

Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Overtakes NES Lifetime Sales

traceman

That's great news! It deserves this success. It shows why they ported it in the first place. Not to start an argument but i feel deluxe is the definitive way to play mk8. Now with the booster course pass and an actual battle mode. My only concern is because of how well this game has done the next entry is going to have some big shoes to fill.

Re: Sega And KessCo Team Up For Sonic Adventure 2-Inspired Card Game

traceman

@Fangleman32 that's a plausible theory but unfortunately their efforts to rebrand sonic has mostly been in vain. I'm not saying this out of animosity but through experience seeing each rebrand attempt crashing and horribly collapsing in on itself. I think it's more so Sega doesn't have a clue where to take this franchise or what direction to go because each gimmick shows for one (two if your lucky) games and then switch to something else the next. Latley it seems like they are clinging to the past.

Re: Nintendo Live Suspect Admits To Threats, Blames Being A Sore Loser

Losing sucks I get it. Especially if your having a really bad losing streak, moments like that call for one to just put down the controller and step away for a little bit. You know go for a walk, read a book, heck see a movie ( not that there's anything good on right now) instead of flying into a childish rage and threatening lives.
