Yup. I’m running a 500 gig X1 still (waiting for Scorpio), and I filled the HD with that, AC Unity (which I think was in the 60-70 range), Fallout 4, Dead Rising with all Dlc, and GTAV. I know single layer Blu Ray discs hold 25 gigs (or 50 for dual layer), but it shows how much additional data is needed for patches…

What game you will never, ever get sick of playing.

Halo 5 comes to mind. Just finally installed it, and 90 gigs (and 8 or so hours later) I was finally able to play it. I know MS didn’t want to be the first company to release a multi-disc game, but it makes me question how much of the physical game I bought, versus what was necessary for everything else.

Do you know by chance if the fan game uses any direct assets to any of the Metroid games (sprites, sound effects, etc)? Just curious since I know they usually red-flag projects that rip official art/sound too.

Makes me think Nintendo is planning on giving Metroid 2 it’s own remake treatment.

No shame in defending what you like. It really was a decent game (and best I ever picked up for $5 at Bestbuy).

Burgers or burritos?

If I remember correctly, the German comics also established Mario is 27 years old, and he and Wario (and Luigi) were related.

Glad you said this. People tend to forget that Gamecube used to be Nintendo’s worst selling console until the WiiU. Nintendo is always the oranges to Sony/MS’s apples.

If you haven’t heard or seen, Mario Adventure and Super Mario Bros. 3-mix are some of the most impressive takes on the SMB3 formula.

That’s where the balance of online/offline makes a big difference. No matter how you slice it, after a server is shut down, you’re stuck with an incomplete game.

Knowing Disney, they’ve got an iron-clad defense against something like that. I totally agree though. Couldn’t even patch for an offline version?

I can’t even read articles about this without getting a lump in my throat.

It was a whole octave lower I think. That chipper “Segaaaa” sounded less enthusiastic.

Thank you for making this known. That thing suuuuuuuuuucks. Got one on clearance and still wasn’t worth it.

Are you optimistic about Nintendo’s future?

Sorely underrated title. I remember the development hell 12 went through, and amazed at the final product. Vaan is forgettable, but Balthier and Fran more than made up for other charater’s meh-ness.

I JUST beat Startropics finally for the first time. Good lord that game is unfair in parts. Fun as hell (and I feel accomplished) at least. On to Zoda’s Revenge...

I look at Sandusky, and all I think is he can play a young Mel Brooks.

It doesn’t matter which you start with, as they are separate stories. I will admit Mother 1 is a bit of a slog and has a ridiculous difficulty spike at the end. That was the old school RPG mindset at the time tho...
