Agree with the Miles Morales point. The character needed more time to be established, and they never gave it to him. Cripes, Peter Parker’s first foray as Spider-Man took almost five issues to happen, whereas Morales hit the ground running.

Ms. Marvel’s introduction was better. So much better. As a matter of fact, Ms.…

Absolutely spot on. When I played the SP campaign, I always had the nagging feeling that there is something more to it, but I never could put the finger on, but you said it nicely. Maybe I could not full understand it, because I am an European and the whole US patriotic stuff is more of big joke.

start playing the campaign. the multiplayer is all the same bullshit over and over again but the campaign keeps the games fresh for the most part.

Also forgot Quake, which radically changed the scene for PC FPS games.

I’ve always thought Infinity Ward was awesome at making the single player CoD campaigns. Treyarch, not so much. Never really cared for the multiplayer.

On your point about Madden. you are probably right about the people that buy Madden, and the sales for the game have taken a dip since it’s glory days, but my thinking was that if Madden’s sales really took a dip because football fans boycotted the game than NFL would have stopped the exclusive license. At the least…

So I get what you’re saying, and yes I suppose games like Pokemon aren’t traditional Role Playing games like D&D where your characters are making every decision that impacts what quests are/are not relevant. These games, like Dragon Quest for example, you are taking on the role of the hero of the story. The same way…

I only noticed because my girlfriend seemed to be having an incredibly easy time with the recent remakes, her pokemon some 10 levels higher than the elite four in some cases. I’m thinking it’s because of the EXP share giving experience to the entire party rather than just one pokemon. Turning it off makes the game…

I assume that’s because to non-competitive players, Natures don’t overly matter, and the difference between TMs and HMs is kind of shown through what you can do with them (Fly lets you fly to other towns instantly, Surf lets you travel on water, etc). There’s probably also the assumption that most people who play…

Rustboro city! Haha, I remember the school from the original Ruby/Sapphire...and it appears on your PokeNav as a major landmark, if I remember correctly!

Agreed. In my opinion Option A below is far better than Option B. B just has too much going on. What is with the strap on claws? And purple Iron Man arc reactor? And the hand made out of bone jutting out of its back? Meh. Option A is just a dragon with one thing added to make it ‘cool’. Set it’s tail on fire. Done.

Yeah, it’s one of those things you have just to show off to other people. On top of which, I think the only way to show them off is by physically handing over your 3DS and holding it out in front of them.

As a long-time fan of Pokemon, I’ll admit that Digimon has the better anime.

It wasn’t a show for lil kids. Digimon died and it’s heartbreaking when they do, and they dealt with higher themes than just “blasting off again...ding”. Vanity, jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness; the villain of season 3 (when the original kids grew up and their brothers and sisters do the crap) eventually becomes a…

My last experience with Pokemon was playing Pokemon Stadium. The Combat is too simplistic for me now, all you need is a well rounded team and you win.

The title didn’t make me think of this or anything.

Interesting take from an outsider, haha! On that note:

As someone who grew up with the Game Boy, the new Pokemon games have gotten way too wordy without offering any more world building than my old cartridges. Even by today’s Poke-standards, Silver was massive. Everything after has felt like a scaled back version of what I already enjoyed. Instead of creating big worlds…

Man, I LOVED the Digimon cartoon so much more than the Pokemon one. Was re-watching an episode the other day and the English dub was amazingly funny!
