Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Now that Metro is doneski, I think I'm gonna start hammering away at softmods. I got my PS2 modded last night, but it needs a lot of work - Clock Tower 3 and Thunder Force VI works, but Haunting Grounds, Kingdom Hearts and Rule of Rose (and all the PS1 backups I tried) do not. Also want to do some 3...

Re: Games Completed 2019

Finally finished Metro Exodus after a busy few weeks. Definitely my GOTY frontrunner so far. Absolutely phenomenal game, even in spite of all the whiners on the Internet.

Re: Devil May Cry 1-5 & DmC

Mikami Dante is just kind of lame. ...What does Mikami have to do with a character created by Kamiya and who has remained under Itsuno's exclusive supervision since 2003?? I get Mikami and Kamiya confused all the time. Kamiya is the one obsessed with Super Seinen and unfunny "comedy" scen...

Re: Devil May Cry 1-5 & DmC

Yes hello I just wanted to say that DmC is my favourite in the series and I probably won't buy DMC5 because Mikami Dante is just kind of lame.

Re: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield

Indeed. However, a friend of mine made a pretty solid case for the rabbit being Fire/FAIRY... Which would be in line with the secondary "triangle" of S&M - Ghost/Fairy/Dark. Or we could see something like: Grass/Fight Fire/Fairy Water/Poison Assuming they want a secondary triangle at a...

Re: Anthem

Looks at Titanfall 2. Every EA game? 8-) I don't think people really understand the concept of business sometimes, and get clouded by passion for the end product (which is understandable). EA aren't "money grabbing". They're a business with investors and targets and what the end product i...

Re: 360: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

While I don't consider BotW to be the best Zelda of all time (I'm not even sure I'd consider it my favourite Zelda of the last decade) and I generally sympathise with all the usual complaints and frustrations leveled at it, I think it's easy to forget how stale the series was becoming prior to 2016...

Re: 360: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Breath of the Wild is a game I will never "get". When I think Zelda games, I think stories and characters just strong enough to support a lengthy campaign, great dungeons and cool weapons with lots of utility functions, and great art direction. Breath of the Wild, by contrast, just feels b...

Re: Games Completed 2019

Would I would say is that, while I think Psychonauts is an interesting, funny and clever game, I also think it plays pretty terribly as a 3D platformer. I would second this, but I played Psychonauts a good 5 years after it came out... No idea if maybe it felt "good" as a platformer in its...

Re: Games Completed 2019

Not really, "completed", but I've given up on Kingdom Hearts 3 and AC Odyssey. I just don't care in the slightest about finishing either. EB Games had a trade deal on yesterday, so I got $50 for KH3 and $42 for ACO... Considering I only paid $50 brand new for each of them, I think that's a...

Heh, the background chatter doesn't bother me much, because I grew up hearing a lot of Macedonian, which is similar enough to Russian you can get the general gist of what's being said. Slavic languages really heavily on... I don't know how to say it, being theatrical? Lots of deliberate exaggeratio...

That's a shame, it really feels like the pinnacle of the genre to me. The music itself is just exceptional. Does this just do nothing for you? MyZylLMiFeY I think its incredible!

Re: Videogame Deals

If you're in Canada, they have standard edition copies of Titanfall 2 at Dollarama for a measly $4. They only had XBone copies when I found them, but the cashier said they had PS4 copies come in as well.

Re: Anthem

I have zero interest in Anthem, more because of EA than Bioware, but after reading this Ars Technica review, I can't help but wonder if this game should have gone the traditional Single-player Bioware route, rather than the money-grabbing EA path... All hypothetical of course, but is there content,...

Re: Hollow Knight

I don't think I'll ever "get" Hollow Knight, like, to me it's just another Metroidvania with nothing in terms of art or music that really hooks me. (If I'm being honest, the whole aesthetic reminds me a lot of Newgrounds flash games). That being said, I'm very happy to see an indie success...
