I mean making a living off of YouTube has been a thing for a really long time now you guys. Y'all are acting like you're just now being exposed to the decades long tradition of 24 hrs news cycles

I'm not saying it's a good thing, just that you probably shouldn't pay it too much attention every time gamexplain releases another stupid video or some random Twitter individual makes vague predictions

You people know that you can just not watch those YouTube videos, right? You can also not post about how much you don’t like those YouTube videos.

I finished unlocking hard mode in DKCTF, what a rad loving game. I don’t think I’m going to replay all the levels on Hard mode because I’m not a masochist, but it seriously might be the best 2D platforming game ever. I thought this thread was overhyping it but nope, it really is that good. Wish I had tried it sooner.

I'm not the arbiter of discussion so carry on but it is funny considering how much time you guys spend bitching about it.

I liked GameXplain and as individuals they are good people but their content has give really downhill recently imo. More rumors, more non-Nintendo stuff, less reviews or analyses or guides.

And you might think less reviews because of being a slow Nintendo year, but I remember it wasn't this bad during the WiiU era. Now lots of dumb stuff like a 10 minute video on "Does the gba GameCube adapter work in final fantasy crystal Chronicles on switch?" Of course it doesn't.

Has anyone jumped on the Last Campfire? It dropped today to no fanfare and has no reviews that I can find. The trailer made me and my wife both cry (it's been a rough year ok) so we are very interested and will probably drop the $15, just curious if anyone has any impressions

I haven't been playing long but I'm liking it so far, just wandering around and helping sad folks. I thought the narrator would be superfluous, but she has just such a lovely voice.

That makes a lot of sense actually

And maybe I didn't explain myself clearly, I don't mind those topics too much, it just seems you guys are always complaining about it. It can be tiring, especially because as you pointed out there's new rumors to be smug about totally not falling for every day

E: you can calibrate what youtube recommends btw, I dove into a lot of goon recommendations that I asked this thread for and half of the gaming videos that YouTube recommends on my homepage are genuinely interesting and good now, a lot of in-depth deep dives kind of stuff.

You can't really adventure with your friends. You can't caravan. You can't visit your friends' families and all the cool stuff. If you enter a dungeon, only the host gets the chalice drop. You have to do it once for every friend with them as the host. If a friend moves to the next area, you cannot play with them unless you're in the next area too.

It is a collection of baffling decisions.

You know what else gets tiring? Exploring the map in blasphemous. I'm going around doing the victory lap to get leftover treasure and upgrades and yeah even though I'm overpowered for most areas the cheap deaths are still extremely annoying and getting around is just a drag. It's not hard to avoid the cheap deaths if you pay attention but this just reiterates how the action and movement are dull. Functional but not satisfying

Started as a 9/10 for me since I love the genre but it's slid down to a 7/10 and I'm not done collecting everything before going for the final ending. Also it's possible I may have missed a questline but I don't really care anymore.

I can only really recommend this game if you are a big fan of the genre. The moment-to-moment gameplay should in theory be satisfying but it just feels like a little bit of a slog. The word slog should never be used to describe a metroidvania

Right there with ya. Maybe it’s better now that there are teleports but scouring the map to fill stuff in was a chore because no matter how powerful you get you never navigate much faster and there are too many insta deaths that are only one misjudged jump away

Also opaque quest goals are a plague and the trend should really fuckin die

I hate that I feel this way because the pixel art is gorgeus, so much of the game looks like a freaking pixel oil painting. And the bosses, man those are some sick boss designs, all beautifully animated. Hell, some of the more horrific and coincidentally helpful NPCs look as cool and are animated even better than the bosses.

But when I'm not gazing at gorgeous vistas or fighting bosses, I get annoyed or have to look up something a little too much for my liking. Like you said, a lot of stuff is annoyingly opaque because it worked in Dark Souls (kinda) but it doesn't work as well here. Oh hell I forgot there's even supposed to be an expansion with new content, guess I should play that at some point before I put this game down for good :effort:

This thread is pretty balanced honestly, and I dont see a lot of complaining. But when every "credible"(lol) leaker is going "OH poo poo GUYS, SIX DAYS AND THEY REVEAL (thing everyone wants) FOR REAL THIS TIME" then of course people are going to discuss it. People talk about other stuff too, including whatever games people are enjoying at the moment, and I find that "Hey guys, I just bought X and its awesome" seems to outnumber any other type of topic. I mean, it's still better than reddit, which had to ban "Holy poo poo, I can play BotW while taking a poo poo" threads because it was getting silly.

So Moon freezes whenever I try to exit out of the tower viewer (binoculars) located at the end of the King's Castle. Does this happen with anyone else? Do I need to use it in order to progress the game?

Playing Crystal Chronicles single player it’s basically a 1:1 remaster with better graphics and some nice tweets and improvements sprinkled on top and there’s a new post-game to work towards that seems like it’ll be cool. But yeah, the changes to multiplayer have basically relegated it to a sideshow for when you want to grind dungeons you’ve already cleared to get more artifacts,. Doing an actual playthrough alongside a friend somehow feels like it has even more annoying hoops to jump through now than when you needed a bunch of GBAs with Link Cables.

Also the whole mechanic of each member of your caravan having their own family in the town and raising that family’s skill at their profression over time just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when you can only actually play as one member of your caravan at a time.

It would be nice if the game was patched to fix this nonsense but knowing Square-Enix and their remasters it’s either never happening or won’t happen for over a year and then will just pop up out of nowhere unannounced

I used to be kinda into GX videos back right before the Switch launched and there was a bunch of info about the system and BOTW but the wear out their welcome pretty quickly and then I learned that one of their dads is like a rich famous guy and all they do is just repost every possible piece of content trying to get views and they really offer no insight at all on anything.

No I don't need to watch the Luigi's Mansion 3 trailer just directly ripped off of Nintendo's YouTube and posted on your channel guys. I'll just watch the original video thanks.

Puyo Puyo Champions got a QOL update, most important for me being the color blindness screen filters. This makes the recently announced Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 as potentially the definitive version of the game for me.

Here's my settings as an example that solved my previous problem of quickly differentiating the blue and purple puyos.
