Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?

@holygeez03 Depending on how well Cruis'N sells, possibly neither.

I'm asking myself the same question about Bayo 3 and Prime 4. I know that MP4 is a long way from complete, but at least it was mentioned. Bayo 3, on the other hand, is looking more like vaporware every year.

@Razer You should really consider taking your own advice... Even if it was released, it definitely wasn't cross gen (meaning launch title).

The only Zelda cross gen titles are TP and BotW. Also, Switch Pro won't be next gen anyway. So you're entire argument makes no sense.

Re: Electronic Arts Hit By Cyber Attack, Hackers Take Source Code And Tools

@alexybubble I think that the "money hoarders at the top" will be just fine. Obviously, these things happen. I also highly doubt that this will screw EA over for a long period of time, sorry lol.

Please keep in mind that these hackers are not the Robin Hood Champions of Gamers. They'll most likely sell the source code. Their motive wasn't to punish EA. This was done for profit.

Lastly, the real victims are the programmers who have invested countless hours into writing the code. Also, law enforcement who now has to invest their time dealing with these thugs.

MM taught me not to judge a game so quickly and harshly. My younger self used to brutally bash MM for not being more like OoT. Truthfully, however, I never allowed myself to give it a fair chance/never made it very far.

I did not complete this game until it was released on the Wii VC. I devoted the time and fell in love. MM is literally packed with content, urgency, and charm.

Re: Switch Online Members Can Save 30% On Wireless NES Controllers (North America)

@Scrubicius Yes, I use the SNES controller for the Contra Anniversary Collection, Sonic Mania and Tetris 99. Although, the only downside is that it has no Home button.

I was really on the fence about purchasing the NSO SNES controller. I'm so glad that I bought it. 8bitDo was always an option, but I prefer first party accessories. I wanted the most authentic retro controller, for retro games. I was not disappointed. It feels just like the original, minus the cord. Also, it's a huge bonus that I can also use it on my laptop via Bluetooth.

@Multiboy2k Well... I wouldn't be surprised if he's already fully recognized that impact.

I've only recently learned about the shoes and the controversial music video, however, think about all of the free press that it's going to generate. Think about all of the attention that it's generated on here, in such a short period of time.

I don't really follow his music. Although, if he has an album coming out soon then it's bound to sell very well, following the controversy.

@Sourcecode @kingbk I prefer to separate Gaming and Politics too... I also think that most articles here do a very good job. Although, the Comment Section is a completely different animal lol.

Just because someone chooses to make a political or divisive comment does not necessarily mean that the article is political or divisive.

Some people on this site get so "triggered" over just about anything from Brie Larson to March 31st. If every article was conditional upon the users' responses then there wouldn't be too much to read.

In short, some of the commenters bring divisive politics with them to any topic.

I actually preferred TWW art style over the original tech demo that was shown by Nintendo... Especially that black smoke after killing an enemy. Back then, it felt like I was playing in a Disney Cartoon.

TWW HD is absolutely gorgeous. The graphics/art style was already timeless, but so much more crisp in HD. Also, the QoL changes were much appreciated.

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?

@everynowandben Ok... I can tell that you might have missed my original and stronger argument for Zelda 2. No worries, my friend:

1. You MUST grind to have any chance of beating the game.
2. Battles cannot take place on the overworld map.
3. Random encounters.

Sound good?

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?

uncleMike

@everynowandben I did see that... I'm actually arguing about Zelda 2 is an RPG.

Did you see my argument above?

Ninja said that it wasn't because you are not playing a role... I have no idea how he was defining a "role". I guess, by a Class System?

Re: Talking Point: Is Zelda An RPG, Or Not?

uncleMike

@BloodNinja I don't know about you Ninja, but I had to GRIND like CRAZY to beat Zelda 2. Thus, it's an RPG in my book 💯

Oh... Also, you cannot fight on the overworld map, my friend. If I'm not mistaken, I also remember Random Encounters.

How is it not an RPG?
