The FF Ethers are the worst because not only are they rare and expensive, they are also weak as shit. Did a normal Ether restore 10 mp maybe? I always waited for a save point.

My comment is also about porting this to Switch.  When will they port this to Switch?  And how will they expand it?  Let’s discuss.

It certainly is one of the best feelings in gaming, but I’d argue it is too easy to pull off in most cases to make it the most satisfying move in gaming to execute. I totally agree Bayonetta 2 (I only played the second one) has the best version of this, and it’s in part because it remains challenging throughout the…

I forgot to mention Doom, which is my favorite game to play on Switch on a train, and one of the most important examples to list when illustrating how special that little console is.

I’m going to be spending 8 hours on trains this weekend, so much Switch gaming will take place. Selections will include Mario Tennis Aces, Golf Story, Hyrule Warriors, Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, Stardew Valley, and probably Mario Kart 8 at some point Saturday night while I am at my destination. That little…

Just watched the whole Cuphead run. It was great, thanks for the heads up! I just beat it a few weeks ago so this was the perfect time to learn all the tricks and glitches I had absolutely no awareness of.

PLEASE SWITCH PORT PLEASE PLEASE

Probably both.

I love that game so much. It definitely has more in common with Breath of the Wild than any of the other 3D games. Wind Waker HD, which fixed my only two problems with the game - low difficulty and ship steering - and of course looks incredible, is one of my favorite games of all time, and probably my favorite Wii U…

The Last of Us had the freshest, most engaging narrative in a game I had ever played at the time. It had my favorite ending ever. It also blends stealth and balls-out combat better than any game at the time ever did. It also has the most tonally appropriate combat of any game I’ve ever played, in that the combat…

I don’t think herogear was saying that non-linear Zelda games are the “proper” form of the franchise at all, I think they were just objecting to OP’s suggestion that the linear form is the “proper” form. And I agree. The lack of linearity of the first game, ALttP, and BotW may create problems for you, but many, many…

God of War is by far my favorite game this year. The narrative is up there with The Last of Us, Bioshock, and Nier: Automata for my favorites in all of gaming. I understand what you mean when you talk about the disappointment shift in camera angle resulting in the lack of spectacle. But not only do I love the…

I’m pretty sure Jeremy Parish still writes for Polygon quite often.

I had no idea de Blob was coming to Switch. I really enjoyed that game on Wii. Wonder why no one has written about it at all on any of the sites I read.

Huzzah!  Mega Man 11 and Spider-Man are the games I most wanted to be good.  And I’m glad to hear you’re excited to play more Bloodstained.  Plus, The Messenger was not on my radar at all, but it sure is now.

Three performances of a workshop of a new musical based on the Medusa myth, that with a little luck is going to be huge in two or three years. I really hope I’m still attached to the project at that point.  Also Mario Tennis.

This really feels like jumping to conclusions. The Witcher 3 didn’t say anything fresh or surprising about the fantasy genre or medieval history, and the example you cited from it was not anything that subverted the genre in any way, it was just a fresh idea for a micro-narrative. I see absolutely no reason why…

Well I guess you’re the smart one then. But I never would have had time to play all the 360 games I played between 2006 and 2010 plus all the games I played since 2010 if I had waited 4 years to get a 360, so ultimately I’m ok with how things worked out.

The number of references to John McEnroe’s tantrum I’ve read in various reviews of this game is...disappointing.

Yeah, thanks, Patrick, I guess? Jeez...
