I think both the thing you mention and the things OP mentions are just both bad game design. Modern or not, retro or not, bad game design is bad game design.

Yup.

Well, that’s unfortunate.

I totally see where you are coming from!

That is exactly how I felt! I don’t think the graphics are terrible, if only because of the throwback visual design. I >love< the silly Vault Security armor in this game, especially compared to 3 and NV.

It’s one of those situations where, I feel like the circumstances are shitty, but Kiefer did a good job with what he was employed to do. I really hated him in GZ, thought his voice was grumbly and annoying and lacking in character, but in TPP he was incredible. I’m still firmly in the “I like Hayter” Camp, but I can’t…

DD’s been my favorite hero for a really, really long time, and I’m excited for this new version of him to hit. I haven’t read it yet, as I’m still finishing up the end of the last run, but damn. So promising.

“Just chillax man.”

That’s unfortunate!

Konami has slowly strangled off really great game series, from Silent Hill to Castlevania and now to Metal Gear. It’s a shame that they’ve decided to take the pachinko development route and cash in on Hideo’s work. It’s shameful and hateful that they treat him this way after all he’s done for himself and the company.…

Totally.

Haha, I feel like we both are very similar, except that I just feel like Bloodborne is the only thing I’ve ever played that has surpassed Demon’s Souls in terms of design and execution. Especially in regards to narrative. I suppose that must be what TW3 was like for you! Perhaps minus the Demon’s Souls comparison.

Once…

Both were of a caliber rarely seen in games, I just think Bloodborne is a better singular piece of work. Loved TW3, loved it as its own game and as a sequel to a series that I have only increasingly enjoyed with each iteration. But I feel like Bloodborne is Miyazaki’s resume game, and now that TOH is out, it’s…

I believe bloodborne should have won, but I am unsurprised TW3 took it and I am super glad for CDPR. Good folks, who put in a lot of hard work and dedication. Deserving of praise entirely. Grats to them.

PC when? I would love to buy this game on Steam, where I already have the other two.

Feel bad for all the amazing PM players I’ve met while at Melee tournaments. The game will be missed, even though I personally wasn't a fan of some of its quirks. It was an amazing community effort

Melee and Smash 4 are incredibly different, and Smash 4 doesn’t address many complaints fans had with brawl. I love Smash 4 — but the community consensus is that Smash 4 and Melee can coexist because they are VASTLY different kinds of fighting games.

HBox isn’t one of my favorite players, but he has a lot of heart and he definitely pushes everyone around him to be way better by being as unbelievably good and smart as he is. Good for him. He earned it.

Mario isn’t a great comparison. Mario is incredibly tough to play well and even tougher to kill with - the only move in his Arsenal that is a dedicated kill move is his forward smash, which is super hard to land at high level play. Compared to Puff, who, while definitely tough to master, has a much more fundamental…

Jiggly puff is actually just about as far from Dan as one can get in Melee barring Fox. Puff is an incredibly good character — some people even place her at 4th best in the game.
