I'm pretty bummed right now because I can't find my copy of Mischief Makers :(

It was 100% complete and I got it on my birthday with Goldeneye and Star Fox 64, pissing off all my cousins because I wanted to SHAKE SHAKE instead of slapping people in four player deathmatch. It's literally the only N64 game from my collection that just vanished wtf.

Imagine if the recent remakes of disney games looked like Cuphead.

I doubt anybody is gonna look back at the 3d Castle of Illusion remake and give a poo poo.

Nobody cares less about the quality of Disney games than Disney themselves.
The days of the Genesis Lion King where they got the actual animators to do the animations are long gone and they ain't coming back.

The inability to pet dogs in Breath of the Wild was a critical flaw so I don't know why the gently caress you're framing this as a bad thing

Fortunately Tekken 7 lets you match him up against Kuma to set the record straight

Dunno if it originated with Usenet but they definitely called him that in the game magazines at the time.
If you used the code to play as him in the console versions of SSF2T, the versus mode score listings had him labeled as Gouki though.
Dunno why they didn't just stick with that for the English translations, maybe they thought people would pronounce it "gooky" or something.

quote:

Game system contrivances have always sat uneasily inside Assassin's Creed's beautiful, authentic worlds. I'm used to futuristic UIs floating in front of dusty snapshots of ancient life, but there is a lot more game in Assassin's Creed: Origins, and more friction between the setting and your moment-to-moment behaviour. We left Assassin's Creed as an action series, now it emerges from its two-year hibernation as an RPG in The Witcher 3 mould, complete with levelling, skill trees, an extensive loot system, and crafting.

These elements have appeared in Assassin's Creed games before, but the way Origins gates your progress, using your level and the quality of your gear, is a fundamental change. Missions have level recommendations, and if you strive too far ahead of your level you will barely be able to damage basic enemies. To move between story missions you need to grind out side quests and kill wildlife to gain crafting components and upgrade your gear.

This is terrible, why would anyone do that, crib the worst aspects you could. Absolutely nobody ever praised Wild Hunt's level gates and crafting!

I'm trying to buy Cuphead for Win10, and it seems like the store doesn't support people who have separate e-mail accounts for their OS and Xbox account?

Is there like a guide for dealing with separate e-mail accounts for Windows/Xbox gamertags and such, because there aren't a lot of "sign into a different account" buttons in the log-in forms for some reason.

When I tried changing my gamertag named, the drat buggers tried to sign me into a third e-mail account ...

Level gating in the way they described was in the direct predecessor to Origins, it is nothing new. It had level gating, skill trees, level recommendations for missions, and crafting. Literally every single thing mentioned in that article was in Syndicate and should not be a surprise to anyone who has followed the series.

The gating in Syndicate was ridiculously binary too. If you were one level below the recommendation enemies would Matrix-dodge your attacks and kill you in one hit. If you were one level above the recommendation it was babytown frolics to mash through fights

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I thought the whole point of the assassins in AC is to rail against the Templars and their attempts to gate knowledge and power, in turn making Templars a higher class of citizen and stratifying the rest of the world. The assassins counter this by reminding them that all men are equal and equally susceptible to death, often via a short, sharp piece of metal. The modern games are pretty much saying that some people simply are better than others and that they require a higher class of weaponry and skill to kill. In effect, the Assassin's Creed games are proving the Templars right.

Don't buy it on the store you'll get a PC wrapper around the Xbox version

MS aren't doubling down on Win10 games, they're doubling down on xbox and being lazy about porting it to Win10 with a really loving lovely UWP system that's just as bad as GFWL.
