n64 was definitely up there. It had much superior hardware compared to psx and even allowed for bilinear filtering and correct perspective, stuff that was only in the arcades at the time or on high end 3d graphics card on pc. They definitely did a mistake with the cartridges but that choice was not because they wanted…

not true at all, n64 and gamecube were up there with the competition. And the NES was actually cutting edge when it first came out in japan, compared to the atari consoles of that period. Yeah the master system had somewhat better hardware, but that was released later. Nintendo came out of nowhere with a gaming device…

the game is getting praise because it’s clearly built with a “let’s do a game that’s more similar to the original zelda” mindset, so it’s well deserved

so it’s Rogue Trooper, 5 years before Watchmen, Fahey knows his shit

and that someone is you

No. Rogue Trooper appeared on 2000AD in 1981, 5 years before the first Watchmen.

Hey, Vita has a ton of exclusive games actually, I’m playing Shiren V and having a blast.
And my Vita backlog is so big I’ll probably get the switch only in a year or two

you really didn’t get Jim’s point did you?

yes that’s the thing: now that they proved it works, they should have make a “spiritual sequel” instead of a direct one, reboot everything for a new game on a new IP, retain the nemesis system and all that was good in the game and then gone with that

at the end of the first game he’s one of the most powerful thing ever, andhe’s literally immortal, how that doesn’t have a weight on the story? it’s like having superman there doing nothing while a hobbit is trying to get to mordor, it makes no sense and it’s so over the top it completely ruins the whole thing. It’s…

Of course I would, I got the first game because the nemesis system looked great and had great reviews. I remember it came out of nowhere, without any ties to any recent LOTR movie or any other production, so honestly I think the license itself did very little if nothing to help the game stand out. A New IP would have…

errr... how? it’s set on middle earth, they are trying to forge a ring to stop Sauron... sounds like a spin off that doesn’t fit at all in the main story, just like the story in the first game story

Alec is great. Go Alec!

they released two related “minigames”, Lost Consellation and Longest Night, the first one plays more like the final game: http://www.nightinthewoods.com/

I loved the first but I don’t even know why they bother keeping it tied with LOTR. It makes so little sense in the whole story that (even as LOTR fan) I wished for it to be set in a new random fantasy universe.. it would be best both for the game and the LOTR lore.

Also: Wow, Shadow of War? can a videogame name get…

well, surprise then!

ok thanks, I will

there only one thing worse than 90s plastic toys: 80s plastic toys. They sucked. Action figures nowadays are much much better, and you also have “retro-fake-crappy” lines of toys if you really want your statues with visible seams and ugly proportions

can I just say that funkopop toys look like fucking shit?

not really, if there was no start screen probably the game just started on the first level
