That’s my hope too. BotW is genre redefining and full of things that that should become the “baseline” for open world games going forward and while that is a triumph it isn’t perfect. Only 1 out of 5/6 “dungeons” can be considered great (obviously Hyrule Castle) and while I understand the reason for the minimalist…

While I was in China Family Marts were a god send. I do agree that the 7-Elevens are not as good but they are still a great place to grab a quick bite/drink and their selection is way beyond anything you’ll find at a 7-Eleven in the US.

That’s just the way it is. My friends made a twitter account for a tree stump making stupid quasi-reflective posts and it had about 200+ followers for some reason.

I’m going on 35 years old and am embarassed at how much my face lit up at the thought of starring in a Super Sentai short film.

I hate BofA with a fiery passion. Banking with them is one of the most toxic and parasitic client-customer relationships I’ve ever had. I kept one of my accounts with them open just to have a place to deposit cash quickly (I primarily bank with Simple) but with this bullshit I pulled the plug on that the moment I got…

I mean if there is a deeper message beyond the dangers of idol worship and the importance of family in relation to staying true to yourself (all good kids story messages) than yeah it probably missed me by a mile. I still think it was a good movie but maybe your ability to relate more to source material or just higher…

IMO Coco was a very by the numbers story told with the flair, care, and attention to detail for a culture not properly represented in Hollywood. I actually find it funny how many of my friends assumed the whole attacking/threatening with a shoe running gag was due to the family being shoemakers and not realizing that…

I never said the games were patches of each other. I said that if Melee was made during a time when balance and game play patches were a thing wavedashing along a few other tech would have likely been patched out.

Honestly I used to not hate the “Melee is best” crowd cause I could understand how the floaty/gimmicky mess that was Brawl had rooted them in their ways. It was such a terrible follow-up so having to wait another 6 years and still not getting an HD version of what you were playing for the last decade with a new…

Divinity 2 not getting GOTY nomination is one of the greatest crimes for video games this year (behind only EA’s very existence). I’m not sure it would have won but it had more of a reason to be there than PUBG a game that hasn’t even officially released. How can a game be nominated for GOTY while announcing its…

I wonder if this is gonna start another trend...

Any loot crate system is only “good” if it exists as an addendum to a system where you can simply buy the items you want. if every skin was $10+ you would have the choice of either spending the cash upfront or gambling to get what you want for cheaper. Make it so that seasonal skins are only purchased directly during…

I use the Mario 64 outfit exclusively in the mushroom kingdom, it just brings the whole area together especially when jumping into a painting.

Apparently Kotaku UK did an interview with someone familiar with the roll out of this feature who said Nintendo wants to start by getting 30 second clips patched into all first party games (odyssey and beyond should have it at launch) and 3rd party games using their IPs and once that is done open up the options for 1,…

Basically every level is broken into small segments connected by launch pads until you reach the “goal” which is a zapfish stuck in a lightbulb. In this particular level there are grapple points that pull you towards them when hit with your ink and in the video the player is just hitting them from the most optimal…

I would be down for it if they kept the universe but followed different characters. In a universe as crazy as theirs I imagine there are a lot of other adventures waiting to be told.

I agree, despite how team based the game is a lot of matches are won and lost based on the results of some key 1v1 duels so having a camera on each of them could provide some nice entertainment or at very least some interesting replays after the fact.

Part of Splatoon2 is that you can have a total of 10 people sitting in on a match made up of the 8 players and 2 spectators who have the free camera controls you see in those clips. In fact they commented during the tournament that one of the 3 shout casters on stage was manually controlling the spectator mode for…

Their launch month had the same amount of consoles available as the PS4 (~2 million) and released in a non-holiday season I don’t think most people expected to sell this well. I was a day one buyer an even I’m surprised they broke 1.5 million at all. Also keep in mind that they initially allocated only 500k for the US…

You are correct, Nintendo is 100% capable of offering this guy a limited use license and allowing this to just exist, much like Sega has done for lots of fan games, and I don’t think anyone here is claiming that they can’t. The question is why should they? I think it is a good idea for Sega to allow fan games because…
