Re: Poll: Which is the Best Pokémon Game?

stinkyx

I wonder what Ronda Rousey would pick...

I haven't played them all, but I think XY is the best overall, in terms of refinement...it's the Pokemon game I'd always wanted ever since Pokemon Stadium gave everyone the first taste of fully 3D Pokemon combat (only took 13 years!).

My personal favorite is actually Fukemon, heh heh heh...

Re: September's Club Nintendo Reward Details Are Confirmed

stinkyx

This is why I stopped registering my games and doing the surveys - _ -

I don't expect them to offer very good rewards, but it would be nice if they didn't offer the same ones year after year.

I've also been using the registration as a direct forum to beg for SNES and GBA games on eShop, but that's obviously gone nowhere...

Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie UK Blu-Ray Release to Offer Brand New Documentary

@stanleecroup I wouldn't call this movie so bad it's good...I would call it utter trash. Just look at what Luigi, Bowser, and the Goombas look like...disgusting. This film has no resemblance to the games whatsoever, visually or in tone and thematic content. It's like a sick, sick fan-fiction. shudder

As for the behind the scenes content, I wonder if it has Bob Hoskins saying, "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a f******nightmare.The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! F****** nightmare. F****** idiots."

Re: Previously Teased Alone In The Dark: Illumination is a PC Survival Horror FPS

@Kaze_Memaryu Alone in the Dark was originally about Lovecraftian horror, which means the horrific unraveling discovery of an unknown evil (usually cosmic...thanks Wikipedia!). Like...oh crap, there's been a giant cavern full of ancient, not-of-this-world creatures under my house, and they're going to kill me. In games, it's actually been all over the place...for instance, in the original games, you did hilarious nonsense like fight pirates and dress up like Santa Claus. This time around, I just hope they have a story to tell or an interesting take on the genre, not just another me-too sequel.

Re: Previously Teased Alone In The Dark: Illumination is a PC Survival Horror FPS

I for one am happy to hear that it's a first person SHOOTER and not a bandwagon-jumping Amnesia / Outlast / unarmed-hidey-type horror game that there have been a lot of recently (namely on the PC indie scene). Personally, I can't go wrong with a non-zombie horror FPS...Call of Ctuhulu: Dark Corners of the Earth, Doom 3, Clive Barker's Undying and Jericho...lots of fun.

Re: Keiji Inafune Juiced Up Azure Striker Gunvolt

stinkyx

In a time when there are an unbelievable number of trash games, it's always good to get serious, constructive feedback like IntiCreates presumably got from Inafune.

Then again... I know early footage isn't all-telling, but compared to this game...Inafune's Might No. 9 looks pretty boring to me, haha.

Re: Talking Point: New Ideas, Not New IPs, Are The Key for Nintendo

stinkyx

Captain Toad is a great example of the point this article is making. They reinvented Toad into a wreckless baddonkey who simply does not give a love, goes around tresspassing, looting, and killing everyone he comes across.

I haven't played Super Mario 3D World yet...based on that game, what kind of difficulty should one expect for Captain Toad? I prefer difficult / challenging games.
Please watch the profanity — TBD

@wolfhound91W
I loved 999 too! But...the VLR bug is basically not fixed:

If you end up playing this game, I recommend you NEVER save in ANY of the Puzzle Rooms. There are a couple rooms where it's well known that the bug will be induced, but it's also been reported that there is a slight chance the bug can be caused by saving in ANY puzzle room (as I found out). I own the retail version and got the bug in the second chapter of the game, because I saved in the puzzle room.

Ever since my game got screwed up, I haven't touched it. Having my game progress completely undone is something I refuse to deal with.

Re: Talking Point: Is The Castlevania Series Finished With Nintendo?

stinkyx

People! Don't knock Lords of Shadow until you've played it. It's a great game, and feels like a modern Super Castlevania IV in terms of atmosphere (which was the intent...not an IGA-ish anime). Also, I hate that people call it a "God of War rip-off/clone"...I LOVE God of War, but LoS is very different, involves much more strategy, and is superior imho. Try it!!! >:0

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2013

stinkyx

I LOVE Castlevania and Lords of Shadow is one of my top 3 Castlevania games, but Mirror Of Fate is just...blah. The load times between each screen alone make the game nigh unplayable for me. I even bought it on PS3 to see if they fixed the loading and, nope, walking across the maps is still a tedious exercise.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty

@banacheck
Hey, this is a Nintendo site, so you should be listing Nintendo-console games! On that note, I've been playing Killzone Shadowfall and Resogun too, as well as Metro: Last Light on PC and...waitaminute...whoops...

Edit: if you haven't opened BF4 yet, you should consider returning it. It's rightfully earning a reputation as crash-infested trash.

Re: Review: Bravely Default (3DS)

stinkyx

FINALLY!!! This is the reason I bought a 3DS way back when. Pity the collector's edition is only available through Gamestop. Last time I ordered something from those idiots, it never got to me.

EDIT: Collector's Edition is also available on the website NewEgg!!! And it ends up cheaper since they don't apply tax :0

@TheGZeus
This isn't "misogynistic", imho. It's perverted, but not hateful. It's not like you can have sex with and then kill these women like you can in GTA. Or at least I'm assuming you can't do that.
