Re: All things Kingdom Hearts (and its ridiculous numbering system)

1.5 and 2.5 are actually 3 games each, sort of. Both collections have a main game, a side game, and then a ~3 hour long movie that covers the story of another side game. The PS4 version rolls them into one 6ish game collection. 2.8 is an HD remake of the final side game, a new short game that's not ...

Re: Octopath Traveler

I'm about 10 hours in, and all of those criticisms seem very valid. I really want to love this game, and I think it might legitimately be the best turn-based combat system in any RPG I've ever played, which is not a claim I make lightly. Unfortunately, the story kinda feels like they took the 8 most...

Re: GOTY 2017

Somehow, in a year where my favorite developer released two of the best rated games ever, in two of my favorite series, neither is my GotY. For me, Persona 5 takes that honor. Other great games this year, in rough order of release: Dragon Quest 8 I've enjoyed every DQ game I've played, and I've play...

Re: Most Anticipated 2018

Until Nintendo gives us more details about their lineup, the thing I'm most looking forward to is probably the expansion for Civ 6.

There's nothing really wrong with the Switch Picross game, but it definitely doesn't control as nicely without the stylus.

Re: Sound of Play: 93

VVVVVV is the only game I've ever played where you can die 300+ times on the same challenge in the space of half an hour, and not only keep want to going, but have fun the entire time. I think the music is a really big part of that.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

If there's one thing we've learned over the past 18 months it's that when it comes to Zelda, one player's meat is very much another's poison. Having played 7 or 8 hours, I think the game is incredible (so far), but it changes so much about Zelda that I think some will be alienated and feel that in ...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

I'll probably pick up a Pro Controller once they're easier to find, but so far I've found that just using 2 Joy Cons not attached to anything is more comfortable than either the grip or the wrist straps.

Re: Sound of Play: 70

I quite liked Persona Q, but it's really an Etrian Odyssey game with Persona characters and only small mechanical references.

Re: Sound of Play: 61

If you enjoy Harvest Moon, definitely pick up Stardew Valley, it's better than almost every HM game since FoMT. I would recommend the PC version though, since the mouse makes everything way faster and easier. As a side note, the Harvest Moon series is/was developed by Marvelous, Natsume only handled...
