So I've gone back to playing my 3DS for a bit.

Hot drat I had forgotten how good the three Castlevania games are and I intend to marathon them all.

I also went back to my 3DS and other than RPGs have been poking around in art academy. Kind of sucks that the switch can't really support stylus based games because this is cool

I miss that second touch screen tbh although I can't deny that the switch form factor is pretty much perfect other than crappy faulty joysticks

You want to see a poo poo channel that's nothing but rumour-bait, you need to see EverythingApplePro. Makes game channels look positively responsible by comparison.

Gamexplain usually restrains themselves unless a rumour is gaining steam with corroboration by multiple reputable outlets HOWEVER I do think they’re getting worse recently and posting more rumour videos

But overall gamexplain is a great quality channel with good people and good discussions imo


Anyway I redeemed my game voucher for Paper Mario :3 I gotta get some new joycons today though, my left one from launch day 2017 is finally drifting

It’s difficult to blame them, there is a serious game drought going on at the moment. If they need to make rumor based content to stay afloat financially, then more power to them. You gotta do what you gotta do during the pandemic. People can just not watch if it really bothers them that much :shrug:

Crown Portals are powered up with XP from anything that dies near them. You can see how charged it is by the green lights on the sides, so long as you can shoot around it without breaking it early. Shortcuts are opened up in different ways, like finishing a level within a certain time limit, using explosives in the sewers, or by bringing the screwdriver along to a further level. I still don't fully grasp the meta, but this can provide some helpful info. I've only ever looped once or twice.

This happens a lot and the sad thing is that once they get into the bullshitting there's usually no turning back.

I got ~25 hours out of it without going out of my way to find all the collectibles and I feel satisfied with it. it's pretty straightforward and there isn't much in the way of side content but there's a nice variety to the mechanics of each major area which keeps it engaging throughout even though the regular battles can get repetitive. and it's absolutely filled to the brim with charm which is all the content you need

I'm going with Arlo because he has a good gimmick to start with and is complete garbage after that.

GX because somehow every single one of them has the most garishly awful voice which doesn't exactly translate well to someone talking over stock footage for 22 minutes.

Same reason I can only watch DF videos if they're done by the two original guys.

Wii U era: GameXplain because Arlo made some great posts and was able to do the "im annoyed and a nerd about paper mario" without turning into a screeching shithead. And his comments on the "just play mario and luigi, god" comments on the developers were good too.

GameXPlain was infamous for just reposting trailers, uploading random cutscenes and generally most of what they did was content spam. Also, this feels weird to say, but I feel like Andre's marble mouth was worse. He's a good guy but it really feels like he had some speech therapy done.



Switch Era arlo doesn't really seem to have much to day and nothing he does is "breath of fresh air" feeling while GX became a, uh, generally likeable person.

They're both aggressively better than The Bit Block person for reasons that I hope are self evident and don't cause a derail.

On TOP of that, MechagameZilla is the only good youtuber, here's some highlights:

I once heard someone describe the one GX guy as "a dude with three fuzzy golf balls in his mouth" and I think it's pretty apt

the marketing should just be the switch screen as the player dies over and over to mot. reflected in the screen you can make out their face aging rapidly until it collapses in a pile of ash and bone.

I watched the 2008 Speed Racer movie recently and I know that a PS2 game came out of it at the time that wasn't well received. Can we toss money at a good indie developer to ape the style of that movie and deliver us a new F-Zero like? The cars there can jump and spin constantly trying to wreck each other.

Actually looking at it I was really reminded of Rocket League style physics/movement except on an insane racetrack.

I've been playing the english fan translation of AA Investigations 2 on my 3DS recently, and as much as I'm enjoying it, holy poo poo I do not remember cases in previous games being this convoluted. I might have to go back after this and replay some of the Phoenix Wright games, I honestly feel like I don't remember many details.

I quite literally don't know anything about Shin Megami Tensei at all, but I just realized that it and Tokyo Mirage Sessions have opposite anagrams (SMT vs TMS). I even had to google to see if those two titles were related. :stare:

Are they relationship RPGs?

Not in the slightest, SMT games are basically gothic pokemon games known for their difficulty.

Typically plots involve the apocalypse, a trinary morality system, and fast paced turn-based combat that's known for being pretty punishing. If you're losing or winning a battle in SMT, it's pretty fuckin' quick from what I've experienced. Persona is a spinoff that's much easier but still is pretty hard compared to the average final fantasy game, but it still plays like one, with longer battles and stuff abut building up freindships with ya pals and girlfriends which helps in various ways.

The mainline SMT games and spinoffs like Strange Journey are much more difficult.

Pretty sure TMS is the game billed as a Fire Emblem/Persona crossover (which iirc is way weirder in practice) and that technically makes it a SMT spinoff, so the reversed acronym might be intentional.
