Getting old when a remaster is a remaster of an already updated game from your teenage years. I'd kill for a new adventure of Grim Fandango, or DotT part II.

@SpaceboyScreams 100% The classic temples are exactly the "something is missing" from the last two entries. They're fun but taking the most Zelda component out of a Zelda game just seemed like a really weird development decision. The fact they sold so well makes me nervous that they won't return to the earlier Zelda formula. Maybe I'll live to see that, but given their 4-5 year development cycle, I've only got a few more chances.

Spoiler: Peach dies

It was good, pretty much on par with the first one. I spent so much time with it, I could never go back. Still hoping for a more traditional Zelda at some point. This was closer, a masterpiece for sure, but not quiet the same.

Excited for this. Looks great. Only nitpick is dialog boxes look a little janky.

Screenshots tell you nothing...

@Rooty Leguizamo, is that you?

@SwagaliciousJohnson He applied for and got a job. Yeah, what a horrible person he must be...

@Pat_trick I'm old. i can remember when it was pretty much the gold standard.

@PokemonDMG LOL

@Nico85 Digital copies have ZERO resale value and ZERO collectible value. There is no benefit to digital version, IMO.

Absolutely not!

@Rykdrew Super weird comparison of an older game and a game that's not even out yet, but okay.

What is a book? Is that an app?

The Nintendo Sweuce

The Nintendo Sweuce (pronounced 'swoos')

@TotalHenshin I never played it but hearing that just makes me WANT to play it.

Checks calendar... nope not April.

@Purgatorium It did get frustratingly convoluted, for no reason other than being convoluted, though.

@mattesdude If only there was a way to search a vast library of data to find out what that acronym meant. Thank goodness you were able to help that poor soul, or else he would have needed to wait until something like the internet or Google was invented.

Spoiler alert: A princess gets kidnapped.

Unless your new to gaming (you get a pass) if you don't know what a JRPG is, this game is most likely not for you.

@LikelySatan 100%. Ironically, that type of game is what got me into heavy gaming. I still have fond memories of dumping hours playing RPG isometric PC games in the '90s.

Starfield is...okay? I'm playing it and not addicted to it. Think part of the problem is playing this immediately after BG3. I cared about almost all of the BG3 characters. Starfield has annoyingly bland characters. I knew all the hype there was no way it could live up to it. If you can get it cheap one day, worth a play. I wouldn't pay AAA prices for it, if I had to do it over.

Ugh, remakes. Love 'em and hate 'em. Rather have a new game. Do love the Super Mario RPG remake, from what I seen. There is a game that NEEDED a remake. A 3DS game, even from 10 years ago, did not.

@solarwolf07 It's going to be good but let's not get crazy...

I'm about to Steam Deck the sh*t out of this. That console was born for games like this.

@TheBoilerman You don't internet much, do you? j/k

@nessisonett You need the +2 crutch to platinum.

Metroidvanias are one of those genres that can produce really really good games or a big stinkfest. There almost is no in-between. (And I know some people hate that term and it just makes me want to use it even more.) mwahahaha

I'm not a fan of visual novels by any stretch of the imagination, and this isn't completely one of those, but really close. However, I really enjoyed this game, it's got something to it I can put my finger on. Would love a sequel at some point.

Day one purchase for me. Gonna snort it and then inject the rest into my veins. Come to Daddy!

Is the supposed "joy" expressed in this article, satire? Has to be satire with a sprinkle of sarcasm.

A dream come true for who? Not consumers. As if the Switch needed a performance hit when playing games. If this isn't the Swan Song of the current Switch model, I don't know what is. If it's baked into a new Switch model and performance accounted for, that may be a different story, but I don't see the current version being able to "chew bubble gum and walk at the same time." Ridiculous notion of this being a dream come true, unless you mean a Nightmare on Switch Street.

Agreed. People worried about BG3 can't be serious gamers.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

The games I've bought and traded or sold, would put almost any collector's cache to shame.

@Anti-Matter And this has zero to do with what people do now. That was the main point of the article.

One of the very first isometric RPG games I played was a game I think was called Immortal. Took me forever to remember the name or find it, but figured it out years ago, and then I may have forgotten it, but think that was what it was called. One RPG game I fondly remember playing but have yet to find anywhere, and as you said it's hard to Google something without the name, is a TurboGrafx RPG with towns and bars. I'm sure it had horrible graphics, but in my weird memory it looked as good as any RPG today. Nostalgia is indeed a powerful drug. (If anyone thinks they know what game I'm referring to, even with that sparse information, please feel free to guess or remind me.)

@Kimyonaakuma Who is mounting that thing in their house?

I enjoyed it but not as much as the first one.

Happened to me once when buying a PS1 game at Babbages (remember them?). Luckily we were still in the mall (also mostly defunct) eating lunch and I opened it to my horror. They fixed it when I went back but no telling if i made it all the way home and went back a day later.

Love seeing what everyone else is playing. Picked up Diablo IV myself. It's great bit feels a little too familiar. Just started, though

@Wolfleaf You shouldn't wait. Easily the best game and the DLC Wave 4 is better than a lot of standalone titles.

@gcunit 100% that. Hopes up and then cut down at the knees. I think they get as excited as we do and unfortunately embargos make it hard to be a critic before the game releases.

@nhSnork I do like to see these kind of apps and thinking about everyone's overall mental well-being. It's not discussed enough.

My favorite sleep app is watching The Lazarus Project. I really like the show but I fall asleep 10 minutes into it every time.

Reading the title of this article is giving me a big huge monstrous obtuse gigantic headache.

This article blows...

I've owned almost every console from the Big 3 and I can tell you if you get a Nintendo you are 99% doing it for the first party games.

My mother land! (A few hundred years ago.)
