@Overzeal There are other parts of the net that live and breath any micro controversy that get any within the vicinity of the sacred bubble. All NL has to do is review the game as is, they are not beholden or owed anyone to start playing the role of doomsdayer.

The vast majority of users don't here don't care and well, as the saying goes by a certain crowd "let's not start catering to the demands of the minority"

@Ryu_Niiyama You only said a couple of words. Silver on the other hand explained what I guess you were trying to say better.

But I do think you are taking it a bit too personally. No one attacked you or anything. Just replied.

If are one of those individuals who struggle conveying thoughts in written form that's totally fine. A lot of people are like that. But try not to get frustrated at people who are just talking to you, not down at you.

@LadyCharlie Eh, Maybe in the west this is what fans wanted, but in Japan there really is no push for a Zelda focused game. It's not really that big of deal over there if she is playable or not.

Japan isn't so hyperfixated on gender in fictional media like the western world.

@TheSaneInsanity Well just to be that guy, it's quite impossible for 8 billion people to get along.

Keep in mind that despite millions of years, human history is just a very small drop in the bucket. To be frank we are still quite primitive in our behaviors even though we're far more along than our ancient ancestors.

We still struggle just trying to cope with each others existence despite sharing this world for thousands of years. Not in our lifetime, not the next generation and most likley for many generations to come will will all of humanity learn to get along.

@RygelXVIII There it is then. Thanks for shedding light on it. I thought it was weird given your responses.

I agree, it shouldn't be used at all here, @SpaceboyScreams did himself no favors in that reply either. It doesn't matter if it was at the wrong person, it's still in poor taste.

@Sonicka Eh, Im going to call sus on that. My evidence?@VoidofLight and the timing of the comments.

Looking at the timing of each comment, @VoidofLight and @RygelXVIII were in constant communication. Yet @VoidofLight only called out @SpaceboyScreams which comment didn't appear till much later.

Now certainly if @VoidofLight was upset enough to call out @SpaceboyScreams, they would have done the same the moment they replied to @RygelXVIII if that were the case. As it can't be possible for @RygelXVIII to have edited their comment before @VoidofLight saw it, but after @SpaceboyScreams saw it.

The time frame and @VoidofLight comment just doesn't support the idea @RygelXVIII started it first.

@jetsetradion Honestly I'm surprised at alot of things that pass here. Can't tell if it's genuine enthusiasm or some motive behind it.

One day NL is giving you news about a lawsuit, the next an article about a game from 2004 having a 20th celebration by promoting a rom hack.

I mean for a celebration for what I guess was a huge game (I don't remember it being that huge) the article doesn't come off as being truly enthusiastic and happy about this 20th anniversary.

It's just "Hey, it's been 20 years ya know? Anyways here's a rom hack have fun"

@Antraxx777 It's a nothing burger. Sweet Baby offered their services, Wukong devs declined. End of story. It's no different than any other consulting offering a service and being declined.

That's like just how consulting companies work. Pretty boring when you take away the mythology people have created around Sweet Baby eh?

@spacely_sprockets Sony has been testing console refreshes since PS1. At this point it's tradition.

And still no plans to remake Sonic Boom. Arguably the best Sonic games in the franchise.

@HeadPirate Thanks for being the most level headed out the majority of these comments so far.

@TotalHenshin That's one of things you need when it comes to strong customer relations. Especially as a critic. Patience.

@GarlicGuzzler Not to come off like a jerk, but while that's unfortunate for those, it's not a studios burden to be sure their product be as accessible as possible.

@Pastellioli Nah, you're good. I'm just having fun. I understood what you meant.

@Pastellioli Well anti-matter doesn't, so that statement is incorrect.

@HammerGalladeBro You can ask that to just about anything that doesn't have any significance importance to humanity as whole.

An example being "What's the point of videogames? To sit on a couch all day inside pressing buttons while life passes by?"

I might be in the minority, but I always thought the series was better off not trying to connect every entry together.

The titles already include "The Legend", which gives itself freedom to just tell new stories using the same cast.

I don't hate the timeline, but I doubt a Miyamoto from 1984 had envisioned a grand timeline for Zelda.

@Coalescence How does any of that equal someone is miserable? People are free to not support a bad company/bad individual. There is a line that should be drawn.

No company/individual is perfect. However there is limit to how much support one should give. Maybe people who keep saying that quote should just admit they rather pretend a problem doesn't exist as an excuse to keep enjoying something.

@Rob3008 Nah, I think that's a fair question. 30 fps on a 3ds is expected. However a port of a 3ds title asking for full price, should have 60 fps included.

Nintendo is already feeling bold enough to charge full price for a HD port. So the game should be able to run natively at 60 fps on more powerful hardware.

@sportvater Actually it's a movie aimed at all ages. With that said, just because a movie is aimed at kids doesn't mean it should treat kids like they incapable of understanding anything.

Pixar, Disney, Sutdio Ghibli , Laika, and even Dreamworks are aimed for families and kids. A movie can have depth, kids are capable of grasping concepts even if they don't understand it yet.

Mario sacrificed all substance. Which is fine. The movie plays it extremely safe, but it could have been so much more had the studio just had confidence.

@RiasGremory JJ's Star Wars was just going be a giant retread. The guy plays it as safe as possible.

What 7, 8, and 9 should've been were new stories. Instead of moving Star Wars forward, The franchise is static. Too busy trying to milk the orignal films for all thier worth.

Just about every film, and spinoff is set within the Skywalker era because it's a safer bet, than actually risking something new.

Lastly, you need to give some blame to JJ as well. Regardless of what happened, he was responsible for the last film. He did what he was always going to do from the beginning. Retreading old territory.

He made those terrible choices in the final film.

@sanderev Im puzzled at the idea of FF7 re-defining gaming. What it did manage to due was steal the dominance from Nintendo, and could be classified for it's time as a AAA game.

But it's nowhere on the same level as Mario 64, or Half - life which were truly innovate, and influential for years to come.

@jowy_sw I think perhaps they live in an alternate universe. In ours LGBT themes are one the most frequently fought against.

@sikthvash Nope, sarcasm is noted which is why the response is in jest.

@sikthvash Mario and Luigi are real names that predate the videogames characters. Nintendo couldn't do a thing about anyone naming their kids Mario or Luigi.

Charizard however is an original name, and while I doubt Nintendo would go after parents over it, unless they're profiting off the name; said child should immediately removed from your care as clearly you don't care enough about the child's well being to give them such a ridiculous name to begin with.

@TruthisRare Agreed. They hate attractive women so much they replaced Lara in the remakes with an equally attractive woman who's a mixture of various attractive women modeled into an original design.

Even now with this remaster, they updated the ps1 graphics with an HD version of the same character keeping her as close to a 1:1 of the original.

The hatred for beauty is very strong with CD. I don't know why.

@rvcolem1 90's Sonic had just the right amount of edge and cool factor. Anything post Adventure 1 has been Sonic dialed past 11 into cringe territory.

The edge and cool factor has been gone for decades.

@Anti-Matter Honestly, I still don't get why we are comparing the two. Charles voice is over the top on purpose, and Nintendo approved of it, hence why it' s be around all this time.

It would be one thing if Charles did an entire tv show as Mario, then it would be fair to compare how he would perform in a movie. But so far, it's only been random soundbites at the direction of Nintendo, and that's not really fair to hold that against him as proof he couldn't do a Mario movie.

For all we know, he could have done a entirely more normalized voice for the movie if given a chance. It's game vs movie, so I doubt if given the chance, Charles would actually use the typical Mario voice for an entire film.

Usually an actor understands different mediums call for different performances.

Charles has voiced characters outside of Mario. He was the voice of a Dragon in Elder Scrolls Skyrim and voice of one of the villains in the recent Dragon Ball Super movie.

@-wc- You think so? I figured 8 would at least be A-. 7 would be more of a B and and anything after lower. Ah well B+ is still a good score.

@Diowine I sincerely doubt it's target audience will care that deeply about this game not receiving 1 point higher than 8.

If you go by how American scores homework then:

10/10 = A+
9/10 = A
8/10 = A-

The game still got an A-, it still passed, and again, i doubt the target audience is going to give much care the game didn't get a 9.

Most are more than likely just happy it's getting decent reviewers instead of being a total misfire.

@Serpenterror I find it disrespectful using a dead man's name to shame Square Enix for not giving you what you want.

@nocdaes, Well, I see the Nintendo Defense Force is here.

@WaveBoy Sure, if you look at it with a rose tinted glasses. Outside of all that goody stuff, there's alot of problems in those era's.

Especially if you were a minority, or a member of the lgbtq community.

While I didn't have a half bad childhood, I wouldn't want to relive that era, because many people outside my personal space went through alot.

Romanticizing the past is fun, but we shouldn't pretend a certain era was better just because we personally had a good time.

@gcunit Who knows. NL updates lists all the time from articles months ago and puts it on the front page.

Lost me at the premise. Still though. Art looks decent.

@JohnnyMind If you are okay with 90% of the game being nothing but dialogue you might have a good time.

Eastward isn't a bad game per say. Just an attempt to make the world seem alive via npc's, they neglected to give you the player freedom to explore much of it.

You spend more time reading than anything else. If you are okay with that, you might be in for a good time.

@Banks The magic of nausea?

@Takoda People assume everyday. We all are guilty of it, and will continue to be guilty of it. No one is immune from it. It's just in us to do so. Even the person you are praising right now, has done it. And most likely will a few times this year.

It's how we respond and choose to correct ourselves that can make a difference.

@Samalik I agree, the problem however is Sonic Team forcing a canon timeline on these games to give an excuse why certain characters are barred from appearing in games.

Of course, even though I find strange Sonic needs a canon timeline; The issue is, it's a incoherent mess of contraindications and plot holes. It feels like Sonic Team did it just because. All of these games have been poorly stitched together to try and make a singular timeline of events. But it's nonsensical when you break down the stories, the characters, and events from every title.

If Sonic didn't have such a haphazardly put together canon, then everyone's favorite charter would be free to appear anywhere.

It would be one thing if Sonic Team actually over the decades took time to carefully weave their own canon so that everything fits together perfectly. Then, while I may disagree, I could accept why the rules have been placed.

But it's just not. So from pov, adding a multiverse ontop wouldn't do anymore harm to what Sonic Team has already done.

@Coolmusic For what it's worth I find the idea silly myself. Just let people play as their favorite characters in classic or modern style.

If a story excuse is needed, just say Eggman did some type of multiverse shenanigans and poof.

@Coolmusic Technically, it's not actually Shadow the character. Just a costume.

@nimnio Welcome to Nintendo comment section. Here we raise pitchforks and riot over nothing burgers.

Sigh, I miss Wario before the gross out humor

@HammerGalladeBro Jokes aside, there will never be a classic version of Shadow or anyone introduced post modern Sonic.

Sega for whatever reason decided to create their own timeline that connects every game together, thus barring Shadow and others from appearing in classic style.

I don't know why they went this route, as none of the games make sense when put in order, but that's their firm decision.

@ottoecamn Nothing wrong with introducing an OC character. The Franchise has being doing it for decades with about every other sequel. MK Armageddon poked fun at that with it's cgi opening.

The problem is not the idea of an OC character, but the fact said character doesn't have room to grow when the movie is cramming in so many other characters into a mess of a plot.

This is why films with too many characters every rarely comes out great.The film was doing way too much in such little runtime.

What the first film should have done is slowly introduce new characters in the sequels. Focus on a core group, then gradually introduce a bigger cast.

Honestly, imo, a live action MK would better as a longform
tv series, than a movie franchise.

@AstroTheGamosian Beats me. I think Pixar is what kick started it all. Since then it's just become the norm. Maybe that's giving them too much credit, but it can't be denied they had one of the biggest impacts on animation.

@Crono1973 Indeed, which is why it's universally hated and why it changed.

@Crono1973 While you may enjoy it, random encounters gets a bad rep because of how poorly balanced it was in many games.

You had games where the encounter rate so insanely high that it made going through a game a chore.

@Eggolor Not to mean, but your comment comes off like a personal problem. In one breath you admit you haven't watched a single video, yet critize the man based on what random people have said.

Here's the issue. That bulk of people you are complaining about , are less than a fraction of the overall people who enjoy his work.

So, take this as not being mean but as honesty. Stop generalizing so many people into one. for every 5 people you meet that are hardcore fans, there at 20 more people who are just fans and don't worship him.

This so called "legion" of yours are probably no more than some peeps on your favorite forum or even worse Reddit. Again, a very tiny minuscule when you consider Sakurai's reputation on a worldwide scale.

To put in bluntly, you've annoyed yourself for no reason at all.
