The Switch launched with like 8 games. I think not having Netflix is the least of its launch software problems.

Best sidekick is easily Sully in Uncharted. Zeke in Infamous also rules, but you really need to play both 1 and 2 to get the full effect m I also really Issun in Okami but everyone else seems to hate him. Midna is also pretty good and probably I've of the better parts of TP (though the internet has done it's best to ruin that)

One you need to use in a later puzzle and one you're actually supposed to use and of course if you use the former, the game is unbeatable with no indication that this is the case.

CJacobs posted:It's not just you, Yooka Laylee is an incredibly ugly game The trouble is that Banjo Kazooie also had a really ugly art style (hell, look at all modern games that feature the characters) but that is easier to shrug off because it's a N64 game. They seem to be going for the same thing here but now they could do so much better Still gonna play the hell out of it when it comes out.

I got all the endings in Stein's Gate the other day and god drat that was a cool game. Like it's hard to justify why it's so good. Even for a VN it has little interaction (and what's there is oddly obtuse) and the game has so many anime cliches it's maddening. However, somewhere along the line they decided to put effort into things for some reason and the writing is strong enough and the story is interesting enough that it sort of just passes through the cliches it uses barely scathed. It's like they took the dull shells of these tropes and actually filled them in so you had characters whose personalities and actions made perfect sense with who they were and where they came from, so it mostly felt natural. Hell, even the endings where you end up with a girl that isn't that well matched to the protagonist, they put an extreme amount of effort to make the ending make perfect. I rarely see anything this tropey use those tropes while also actually putting the the effort that people usually people are expecting the use of tropes to create.

Nate RFB posted:I'm glad you liked it, it's one of my favorites. Time travel stories can be very hit or miss but I felt that S;G hit all of the right notes while also pairing it with a strong cast and a neat visual style and solid soundtrack. The ending was also good/satisfying enough that any talk about a potential sequel has always left me wary, because I don't see how you can follow it up well and not have it be a let down, which ultimately Steins;Gate 0 kind of was. I mean, it's fine, especially if you just want to see more of that cast of characters interacting with each other, but there's not much the plot can really say or do that you need to hear/see at this point after the original ending. It seriously was shockingly good to the degree where I'm not sure I'll ever play a better VN Also that's one against 0 (though I'll still play it and probably watch the sequel movie because I'm done and I wanna hang out with Mayuri some more)

I don't even like Sterling but gently caress this attitude of "well he should have expected this" or "he did this on purpose". Stop normalizing internet troll bullshit. In a situation where someone is getting harassed and hacked, we should never be taking the side of the harassers just because what they're doing is expected. It's a god damned video game. He should be able to give a 0/10 and suffer no consequences. It's his opinion and it has almost no impact at all on people playing and enjoying it. Hell, people are pissed that a low review will taint the game somehow but doing poo poo like this just puts a giant asterisk next to that score. I know I had trouble believing the breathless hype because of what happened when TP got it's 8.8 . I'm getting off track though. The point is, stop blaming the victim here. Stop saying people deserve the wrath of the hordes of the internet because they should have "known better" especially when the thing that they did is as innocuous as giving a game a less than perfect score

CJacobs posted:Nobody is saying he deserves the hate just because he was aware there would be a backlash. That's some hard projecting on your part. I just don't see the purpose of continuously pointing out that he should have seen it coming other than normalizing the behaviour of those that are attacking him. Like, yeah Sterling likes stirring the pot but who cares? Why is that important to this conversation? I'm not saying that it's an attitude of "he deserved it" but it at least seems to be an attitude of "he should have been more careful" which is still hosed up because he really shouldn't have to be more careful when giving a game a slightly below excellent score and we shouldn't be acting like he made a mistake by doing so.

People keep talking shti about the crash remake and every time I see it, it looks perfectly fine to me I mean, it doesn't look incredible but it's really hard to translate that style into HD. Crash was made to work around the limitations of the ps1 and because of that, much of the design is very specific to having low polygons. Because of that HD crash will always look weird as will his world in general, but gameplaywise the HD version still looks fine and I think the visuals are fine for what they have to work with.

BotW send fantastic from what little I've played but at the same time I'm not sure if it's entirely my type of game, though that would obviously be on me and not the game. I've just always had terrible getting into the open world "make your own fun" sort of thing and while there is more to BotW than that and it is the top tier of that, I still always prefer something more structured but, once again, that's my problem, not the games

Harrow posted:It's weird, because I'm usually the same way: I really don't go in for "make your own fun" open world games, or really most open world games at all. Breath of the Wild clicks with me in a way most of them didn't because of how hard it works to make the exploration part actually fun instead of just something that gets in your way while you try to get to the "real content." I will say the main reason I do place BotW so high in this genre is because the world is mostly just so full of stuff and feels so well made and structured. The thing I don't like in most open world games and part of the thing that turns me off of them is the world feels so empty. Even something really detailed and well crafted like GTAV mostly feels like window dressing that is far more shallow than it appears. BotW everything feels like it's placed there with a purpose and nothing is there that doesn't serve a purpose. Like, I actually really like exploring in games, it's just that most open world games don't have worlds I find worth exploring, and there's also too much empty space to make it feel worthwhile. I love 2D exploration games but there the limitations usually mean that there is no wasted space. As I said, Zelda does what it's doing extremely well but it's more a matter of I'm not sure this type of thing done as good as it can be done is still as good to me as a more structured thing done less good. Like as good as BotW is, I haven't seen anything in it I prefer to pretty much any Zelda dungeon.

I played Zelda a bunch on the NES but I was a dumb kid and I don't think I ever really understood it. I think the first Zelda I ever properly played through was Link's Awakening, and really that's a drat good place to start.

Like, as soon as he finishes, that rom will be leaked just the same, so if a guy wants to raise money to finish it, that doesn't seem worth getting huffy admit. Acting like the guy is scum for buying it in the first place but also claiming no one cares about it seems contradictory.

I like that one of the major differences in the arcade SMB is that they made it so the shell bounce trick no longer works. Shows they were at least paying attention to that poo poo at the time.

From what I understand the Platinum TMNT game had all the specials on cool down meters like an MMO and if you're thinking that would gently caress up the flow of Platinum style combat, the reviews indicate you are right.

In Training posted:Some of them will definitely be brick walls too, level wise. I did the same thing and returned to them much later in the game and they felt much more balanced, fair and fun. I did the black belt fight with the master and he was level 30 and I was 16 I think. I won by chugging potions but man oh man am I not going to his next form until I've leveled a bit.

Sega made some great Disney games but they'd have to do their own collection for that poo poo. In general it kind of sucks that Virgin came and ruined everything with Aladdin. The Genesis Aladdin wasn't bad game and honestly might be one of the most impressive games ever made considering how insanely rushed it was. Still, it's insane success (the second best selling Genesis game) made it so Disney took their games from Capcom and Sega and gave them to Virgin, who never managed to make anything even close to Aladdin again and then they just decided they could make games themselves and they became even worse.

They laugh but inside I'm only half-joking. That Sour Patch Kids game Cody Morty and was supposed to actually be good (it was cheap though).
