Also, I know they probably took them out because this game is stuffed to the gills as it is, but it's disappointing to not have the trophies anymore. The stickers seem far worse when you know they replaced trophies.

Still, that I can excuse. What I can't excuse is that they didn't add any new Metal Gear Codecs! Seriously, what the gently caress Nintendo?

He's placed right before the node on the map where you fight Little Mac proper to unlock him in World of Light, so I could understand the thinking of not wanting to fight Mac twice in a row like that.

Still pretty unfortunate though- they could have come up with something else.

the captain rainbow dream is for nintendo to announce captain rainbow for smash with an animated trailer of little mac tearfully hugging him, happy to see his old friend who got him back into shape finally get the love he deserves

but getting to fight nick as a spirit applied to captain falcon is cool so i'll accept that

Huh, I always assumed the Paper Mario series had the same gameplay as the Mario and Luigi GBA games but instead this is Babby's First ARPG. I'm not sure if I'm into this or not. It's really loving simplistic so far.

Mario & Luigi titles are far more interactive in their battles with a heavy focus on figuring out the enemy tells so that you can dodge them and even damage the enemy during their turn.

The paper mario games people are fond of the most generally focus on party members and a timed hits battle system where all of the numbers are really low so as put further emphasis on how important and powerful it is when you power up, as well as the badge system which allows you to customize Mario by giving him various different passive and active skills.

inexplicably playing fortnite again. they added planes this season which seem, not necessarily bad, but weirdly against type for a br game. like they're not really any good at killing people, and put a big target on your back because everyone knows immediately when a loud rear end plane is flying around and they're insanely easy to shoot down. on the other hand they can get you around the map Real Quick, and if you don't actually care about looting or winning you can just fly around for most of the round and get top 10

i am genuinely not sure why they added them, but they are fun

when I got bored of playing tribes the right way, I would always load up that air combat mod that made you explode if you touched the ground. flying around in a hpc with a bunch of mortar heavies is just insanely cool

Mario RPG on SNES, Paper Mario on 64, and Thousand Year Door on GC are the 3 best Mario RPG games.

I was just randomly thinking: what's everyone's favorite game that they don't think they'll ever actually beat? For me it's probably Thumper. I pretty much adore everything about that game but it is so god damned hard and so amazingly intense that I can't see myself ever actually finishing it.

thumper's final boss is hilariously cruel, it might have one of the most dickish gimmicks i've ever seen in a rhythm game

there's a few games i dropped out of boredom but my reflexes haven't degenerated enough yet so that i can't beat one outright, though something like, i dunno, vanquish on GOD HARD will always be more than i want to deal with

NANI?

Any of Jeff Minter's recent-ish Tempest clones, I love then and buy them all then never get past the fifth stage.

Also same on Thumper, once it got to the point where it was taking me 15 minutes to beat a single level I decided it was never gonna happen.

That's a hard question for me to think about since I tend to have a much higher opinion of a game if I have the drive to finish at least the main story, and if I don't then it probably was Just All Right at best.
