It’s probably going to be their holiday release.

The author literally says its impossible quoting a book that says its impossible because westerners have romanticized the location too much. Marquet is as much SWANA as it is Switzerland having been moved to a desert/jungle local. The entire thing is fiction, and according to people like the author, unless the DM and…

The big issue people are having with this article is because you didn’t actually finish getting the facts before deciding to hit publish. Were women reached out to in order to join the startup who decided otherwise? We don’t know. How about people of color? Same answer. You waited one day for him to respond, likely…

I’m convinced at this point that projects like this start only as a way to get noticed and hopefully get picked up for different, future projects by a publisher. No way does anyone make a Nintendo IP based game and NOT know they’re going to get it C&D’d to oblivion.

It sold fine launch through Christmas, it was the following drought of absolutely no new games and the poor quality of the initial ports that killed its momentum. It would have been nice to have an actually decent CPU and double the RAM but the games that did come out for it (especially the first party although a…

My favorite is still Affordable Space Adventures, which split the control scheme based on the number of players you had and one had to use the gamepad to manage the ship systems while another controlled steering and the last manned the flares, lights and similar systems.

Well at the time it was.  Indies who had developed on the Wii U or just had some love for Nintendo got a much better return on investment there than any other platform.  Then there was the race to get on which saw a flood of junk, and then the race to get noticed which brought tons of indy games down to pennies in…

Which is sad, because the moderate review systems they had in previous eShops were actually helpful to different degrees.

I watched on my Wii U tablet all the time back in the day.

I’ve had carpal tunnel and tendonitis and was able to get all 999 stars to max out the ship. Mario Odyssey’s move set is just Mario 64's plus the cap dive combos for the most part. When you’re taking over another creature you get a new move set but at the cost of all of Mario’s other moves. I don’t find it hard at all…

Its based on the levels youve unlocked, which increases with your level.  The better you are, the harder levels you can play and the harder enemies you can get spawned into your opponents levels.

I went with GoT, we’ll see if that was a good choice, but the last PM game I actually enjoyed was SPM. If only because of Luigi’s characterization and that it has an absurd amount of post game content that was good and unexpected.

His ability to ruin things has crossed series!

Super Paper Mario’s story was nothing to write home about, but its characterizations were great.  TBH I’d rather have more of that than this non-RPG system they’ve been going for, especially since the M&L studio shut their doors :(

A hundred years ago they got the shit beat out of their face.  Not long before that they’d get challenged to a duel.  Physical confrontation for shit headedness is a “might makes right” issue but it’s also damned good at getting shitheads to think twice before shitting out of their heads.

I think the +’s an -’s to attributes work as a differentiator given biology, but the “X race is evil” should be redone, probably as the “predominant/ruling culture is evil”, much as it can be in the real world. Matt Mercer’s Wildemount setting has done an extremely good job of showing all in shades of grey.

I despise card based RPGs, the Battle Network games are the only in the subgenre I ever actually liked and that’s saying something.

Having played FFT after FFTA, I think a lot of people look at the original with some rose colored glasses.  That being said, at least I was never able to completely break my incomprehensible run through of FFTA like I was Chrono Cross.

Yeah, Fusion was too linear, too easy, and we hated Adam even back then.  Zero Mission wins by a mile on the points that actually matter in a Metroidvania. 

Agreed, although I would pick the vanilla SNES version over the GBA version if you’re not modding a cart because it has my favorite soundtrack in any game ever and the GBA version really does a disservice there. The translation oddities I have a fondness for, but I liked the weird 90's translation jobs. They got…
