DQM is so much better than Pokemon and it's a crime that the series never hit mass appeal. The insane breeding system probably didn't help.

You can also beat Breath of the Wild in under an hour, so that game should be at most $5.

drat I’m enjoying Metroid Dread but I’m just hoping the difficulty doesn’t ramp up too much as I (embarrassingly) struggled with the first boss. :blush:

Hey 100 how are your thoughts now this far into FFX?

I was going to play again but the unskippable cutscenes pushed me to actually play FFX-2 for the first time and I'm liking it. I miss Blitzball though.

My vacation ended so I only got as far as Djose at the moment. I'll probably sink a couple more hours in this weekend. I'm enjoying it and sticking with it. The cutscenes are fine with me, as I've never seen them. They're a moment to drink some water, pet the cat, check my phone, but honestly they're not bad. Like they're interesting enough. The battling is still a lot of fun and the cast is good.

I want to sink my teeth into Blitzball a bit more, but the game seems like it's pretty on rails atm, so I want it to open up a bit. Like not full map access, just getting out of Midgar access. I figure that shouldn't be long.

Like some other third-party controllers it looks like it'll be wired-only too, which isn't surprising but should be kept in mind. So it'll be wired and naturally still won't have rumble, motion controls etc.

I've honestly found Metroid Dread frustrating at times. The devs don't seem to get that projectile attacks from bosses are meant to be minor nuisances (if not shootable for ammo and health) rather than serious threats, and fights like Kraid's are less fun than they could be because you get stuck dealing with what should be minor hits instead carving off entire energy tanks The belly shots in Kraid's case. The only times projectiles have been shootable is when they're clearly pulling from older games; Kraid's nails, and the Ring Beams on the Mother Brain-esque core units. Some of the later bosses also wear out their welcome because they REALLY want you to hit that counter attack to dump damage into them, and if you gently caress up that chance it just drags out the fight considerably as the entire phase repeats for another go rather than just being a cool extra thing you can do. I'm at Raven Beak and it's a slog of a fight because of how long it feels just to get to that second phase... and then there's a third phase on top of that all wearing you down with gently caress-all recovery items given. I swear someone selected the quantity of health drops in a boss fight based off looking at prior Metroid games, and nobody told them that Dread bosses hit much harder on-average. What you get back isn't going to account for even a single extra hit.

I'm at the final boss and I can only really say I mostly like Dread. It's overall a good game, but I'm hoping they learn from this one to do even better for the next. One of their other big problems is someone in their level design loves arbitrary one-way passages and while it's fine while following the breadcrumb trail to the next upgrade or boss it's utterly tedious having to circle around a big chunk of the map because one door arbitrarily shuts behind you or a Grapple/Wave Beam block has landed in a place that blocks off an old route.

When my mom bought me Pokémon Red I was in the 5th grade. After feverish play for a month, the battery in the cartridge fried and I could no longer save my game. My mom gave me permission to call Nintendo and the woman at the customer service center was like “please mail us your cartridge” so I put it in a regular rear end envelope with a couple stamps and mailed it to Nintendo of America.

A week later they sent me a copy of Pokémon Red, but not in a regular box, and when I booted it up it had a completed save file but I had all 150 Pokémon + Mew, and like literally dozens of copies of some of the weaker mons. I had like 15 Weedle and 35 Geodude and 30 Zubat. I had 99 Rare Candy, 99 Masterballs, and two Mews, one with cool Mew Moves, and one that had Hyperbeam, Fire Blast, and Splash.

I would then go on to claim that I was the first kid in school to catch all 151 Pokémon for the rest of my life.

I’m assuming Nintendo have a dev tool for adding Pokémon and items but I like to imagine they plugged my cartridge into an early Pokémon bot and they just have a computer beat the game in super speed overnight and you get all the monsters it tirelessly farms.

I actually loved Pokemon up until and including Gen 7 but it's hard to come up with concrete reasons why Gen 8 turned me off from the series and then this Diamond/Pearl remake looks like it was phoned in. This is a Gamefreak problem and not so much a Nintendo one, though.

Honestly with everything I've seen and heard on the Diamond/Pearl remake I'm starting to think they just did it as a cash grab to fund Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
