If nintendo still made good paper mario rpgs that were like paper mario 1 and 2, I'd like to see them some day make a paper luigi. Doesn't have to be based around his adventure from TTYD but could be fun either way. Though I feel bad for him since Luigi always seems to get the short end of the stick in that game. I just wanted him to have a nice, fun adventure on his own and instead his adventure seemed to consist of him thinking everything was cool and great but really everybody hated him.

It's really too bad that the Super Mario RPG characters are banished to square hell because that was a drat good game/setting.

corn in the bible posted:The flagship title of a billion dollar videogame console producer was better than a budget title from Sega?!?!? Both games were in development for the same amount of time and the core development teams had comparable headcounts. Cuphead, a game made funded by two men mortgaging their homes, hit a metacritic score in the high 80s and sold over 1 million copies. MysticalMachineGun posted:Mario vs Sonic hasn't been relevant since 1996 They'll battle it at the Olympics and make SEGA lots of money.

Another bit that I enjoyed a lot about Arkham Knight: The chatter over the radio. The thugs have lines about every single thing that happens in the city and they're almost always, rightfully, freaked out about how crazy Gotham is or ecstatic about having a playground to wreck. Specially nice that when they talk about (Endgame Spoilers)what a surprise that Batman is Bruce Wayne, including one that calls it bullshit how we let the rich get away with this.

Definitely feels like it was canned because their vision had outpaced the tech by that point. that probably was part of why it got canned but the big reason is mainly just that the n64 was coming out really soon by the time star fox 2 was nearing completion and releasing a big 3d game on the snes that close would have been a Big Mistake

Starcraft II is going free-to-play and everyone that bought Wings of Liberty is getting the first expansion, Well, I booted up Starcraft II today and got started on Heart of the Swarm and I just can't do it. The writing is just too unbearably insufferable. I want to like Kerrigan but her writing consists of 1) complete and total devotion to Chris Metzen self-insert Jim Raynor and 2) sexy!

al-azad posted:BotW is already sci-fi in that clockwork robots and indecipherable-from-magic Miyazaki way. Eh, I'd say the technology in BotW is so explicitly magical that it can't be science fiction. It's fantasy through and through, just with magical machines. It uses some imagery that calls to mind real-world technology, of course, like your little tablet device, but when you "download" new "programs" onto it via a drop of blue liquid magic it's pretty clearly magic and not science.

Zelda's entire subplot is magic/religion vs technology. Half of her flashbacks are about her rebelling against her father's quasi-religious tutelage, hoping to find an answer through research and technology instead of prayer.

Closed-Down Pizza Parlor posted:the writing is insanely bad but the campaign itself is very very good and worth going through if you just skip all the words Its pretty shocking how far the writing quality has dived from Starcraft 1. Looking back its not amazing but its way better than Starcraft 2. Blizzard really had no loving clue where they wanted to go with the Zerg.

The Dadedra quests have been highlights of the past 2 games and usually have you doing some pretty crazy stuff.

I was talking more about the above mentioned fan art of badass bike Epona and things like it that I still see people online bring up from time to time as a thing Zelda needs to do. I wonder why you never hear the opposite, people aren't clamoring for a high fantasy Metroid where Samus is like, a plate-armored battlemage with ice potions and magic missiles and fights regular dragon Ridley deep beneath Castle Zebes.
