Oh, to clarify, I didn’t mean they were being lazy with this game: quite the contrary, it has more than I anticipated! I just think them sort of trying to spin this as somehow being a replacement for that is a mistake.

Yeah, it does sort of boggle the mind how people respond differently to it. For example, I’m the only one out of my friends who go on roller coasters no problem, but it took me a few weeks to stop getting sick in VR. One friend who hates roller coasters never had the issue at all, where one very much had the “moved an…

Most (but sadly not all) people who use VR get over that pretty quickly actually. The first few times it can be rough but after that as long as the frame rate is smooth your brain isn’t tricked by the fake motion.

I don’t mind it in games in which they’re just used for some post game mechanic, but I HATE when they block regular progress behind them. Super Mario 3D World requiring Green Stars to advance was asinine: I like to play Mario levels the first time by running as fast as possible to the ending, and I couldn’t even…

instead of choosing somebody out of left field which I feel would be more likely to actually happen.

Yeah, and I completely ignored the sticker system if I recall because I thought it was lame.

I did prefer the Gamecube controller for Brawl, but the Gamepad worked just fine for 4 so I suspect I’ll probably just use the pro controller for Ultimate even though I have the Gamecube adapter.

Waluigi is an assist trophy. It’s been known since the game was first shown that it was the case, not sure why people keep thinking it’ll magically be unannounced.

Not going to lie, I both look forward to and dread the day they make a Smash game that doesn’t have Gamecube controller support and I get to watch as people take it as a personal assault against them that it doesn’t support a nearly 20 year old controller.

Yeah, the last few Directs were full of awesome info that really made me excited for this game in a way I wasn’t for the last Smash where this was basically “here’s literally everything else we haven’t talked about, and we haven’t talked about it yet because it’s not that interesting.”

Yeah, I wasn’t expecting more than 1 or 2 more, but I did expect them to save something big for last, not...this.

It’s not a pre-order bonus, you just have to buy the game before 1/31/19 so you have about 2 months after release to decide to buy.

This seems like a mildly interesting idea, but given that it replaces trophies it’s kind of lame. “Why have a bunch of intricate 3D Models of characters when you can have a bunch of existing artwork we had lying around!”  Otherwise it’s basically the event mode from previous games which is nice but I don’t care much…

To play devil’s advocate here (I don’t have strong feelings either way on this), the fact that all five of the newcomers are ones previously mentioned could simply mean the faker read those interviews and used those five particular characters instead of choosing somebody out of left field which I feel would be more…

Yeah, and for those short funny jokes the like button was great because I can go back through my likes to find some joke I thought was funny.  Now I’d have to keep retweeting everything to be able to easily find it again.

Reading back on it, there was a glitch where boost pads weren’t racing in events where hitting boost pads stopped a countdown making those challenges impossible, but it was patched by the time I got the game on Wii U in Christmas.

Yeah, the Rockstar “waiting for the animation to finish” controls are what basically holds back every game they’ve made starting with at least Grand Theft Auto IV. I get it, they want the animation to look fluid but it’s a video game. Given the choice between smooth animation and having it not control like garbage,…

Oh hey, I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve had a good “every single bit of this relationship is awful, should I stick it out” story. The moment the husband was mentioned, the Master Alarm sound from Apollo 13 (or real rockets I guess) started playing in my head

I’m going to be playing the Splatfest for Splatoon tonight since it’s a special long one and I’ll be busy tomorrow night.

I can’t look at that guy and not see an evil version of Ted Allen.
