    If the Mario 3D World team made it, is it like Bowser's Fury? Bowser's Fury was REALLY good (for what was essentially a bonus game they made) and used some new ideas, like an open world. There were 100 shines and they were all over the place. I found the game more fun/interesting than Mario...

    Sounds like Dragon Quest 6 and 7, which had a class system with a lot of potential, but kinda fucked it up by giving each area a "level cap" where you wouldn't gain any class levels if your character level was above a certain point. It made the class system turn into a pain in the ass later on...

    XC2 is really good and generally underrated (then again I think most of the folks shitting on it online just don't like that the women in it show a lot of skin). XC3 seems to be generally not very well-liked which is a bad sign for me going into it. Then again, most of the people who don't like...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    While Cole was boring as fuck, the actor who plays him was actually really goddamn good in Cobra Kai's final season as the main antagonist, Sensei Wolf. Now I'd like to see him in this movie... provided they let him actually show any of his legit charisma like that show did. A lot of said...

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    Am I remembering right that a director/producer/whatever for the first movie said they omitted Johnny from it because it "doesn't feel right having a white male main character in the current climate" (which was 2020)? One of the dumber, more self-sabotaging things I've ever seen during the...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    Looking forward to playing this in 2036, during AOC's second term, when it releases in an unfinished state where the only completed things are the settlement system (which is now extensive) and the romancing system (where four out of five characters are gay and the other 20% are bi). Mostly...

    Do you sneak into movies?

    One time, trying to get into a sold-out wrestling show in NYC, a friend and I actually considered climbing over a fence to get past the gates and into the building. Then we lucked out and they let in a bunch more people for a last-minute added section for walk-ups. Happened pretty much right...

    Yeah, the Xenoblade games aren't really my style, they're pretty weeby indeed. Here's my unpopular opinion on them (considering most people like the first one) - Xenoblade - A fairly typical linear JRPG with lots of melodrama. Wasn't really into it. Rewards you heavily for doing all the...

    Challengers (2024)

    Good movie. Zendaya is actually hot in it, which I didn't think was possible with her seemingly permanent scowling fish-face in everything else. It's basically a movie about two dudes who lust after the same woman (who in turn manipulates both of them) and how they end up hating each other over...

    Tony Khan is beginning to drive me nuts. Omega and Okada are doing a much-needed combination of the International and Continental Titles on Saturday at All In 3. However, now TK is saying that the titles aren't actually going to be combined. The new belt (the Unified Title) isn't meant to...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That describes probably 30% of the people in a major city at this point. Every third car on the road is an EV and hardly anybody here actually lives in a house. The plan is to get out of here in the near future and acquire a house elsewhere, but we'll see when that comes together. In the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've heard that the home chargers spike your electric bill, though. That said, it looks like Tesla sells solar-powered generators for pretty cheap now, and you can attach a home charger to one of those and just run off of solar. This sort of thing is 100% "the way to do it" with these cars...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    That was the first day I had the car, but I can confirm that my statement wasn't even an exaggeration. It wasn't an official Tesla charger though. It was a "Greenspot" charger down the street from me, the closest public charger by far (thus the most convenient, so I was testing it and hoping it...

    Mario Odyssey is what I've been playing since I finished Mario Kart. Had like 130 Moons from the past, already gained around a hundred just from a few hours of playing, so I'm not far from the 250 goal. Might go for 500, got time before the DK game. Seems like the game just rains Power Moons on...

    I feel the same way about Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Great big open world that looks super inspiring, then absolute dogshit gameplay (check off boxes on lists for 30 hours by catching the same pokemons over and over again). All the positive reviews I've seen of Arceus, I assume, only played the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Incredible car (especially the acceleration, the climate control, and the safety features). However I can already tell that charging it is a pain in the ass. Charging stations are either too slow or too pricey, and sometimes both at the same time. Like one charger cost $4 for what ended up...

    Just got a Tesla Model 3 during the big sale they had. Thinking about making and putting an "I appreciate all the good things Elon has done for humanity and the Earth over the last 15 years" sticker on it, wondering how many days it would last before it got keyed or damaged.

    Final Fantasy 16

    I mean, do we really trust the modern devs with all of the above convoluted story bits? I was open to FF7R rewriting things. At this point though I'm with the folks who just wanted it to be a remake of the original game. Turn-based battles would have been nice too.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Yes, the rest of the game. However long that is. And yeah, I'm guessing the whole thing they're going for is "Cloud is crazy and seeing things" to lead into Part 3. TBH though, Cloud's mental illness was always one of the less-interesting parts of FF7 for me. And they botched Aerith's death for...

    Lies of P (Souls-like)

    How's Overture? Worth $30? HLTB says it's about a 12 hour runtime which is nice and bite-sized, yet seems low for the price. Might get it when I have time. Liked the main game a lot, going to try the DLC on the normal difficulty and see how that goes. I think I blew all my consumables on the...

    Probably not going to play this (nothing against it, just no room for it) but I've watched some of the gameplay, and damn. This is the first time since Black Myth Wukong that I've been genuinely blown-away by game visuals. When you fight in the snow in BMW and both you and your opponent leave...

    Grand Theft Auto VI

    GTA4 is the only one I haven't finished. I like Niko a lot, but "Boring early missions" is right. It's also difficult to go back to PS3 visuals at this point (large TVs make them even worse). I probably only got like 10% of the way into that game. Have made it a quest to make sure I play the...

    I did that with Cyan, and possibly Strago. Not sure if I did it with any other characters. Cyan was my favorite character by a mile and felt like the most "main" character* as he was diametrically opposed to Kefka in values, personality, etc and had a personal vendetta. I got him maxed-out on...

    That new FFT is just a port of the PS1 version? I thought it at least had the PSP version's script. The alterations to FF7's story in the remake proved how clueless they are. The original FF7 was Hironobu Sakaguchi dealing with the loss of his mom (and that comes though with things like Aerith...

    Yeah, the gap between FF16's demo and the rest of FF16 was probably the biggest gap I've seen since 1997 when I played the Bushido Blade demo to death, loved it, then got the full game and it was meh. The character outfits were all changed to worse outfits, none of the levels were as interesting...

    My life would have been so much better if I hadn't gotten a Game Boy and Metroid 2 when I was ten. Metroid 2 was so good that it led me to the Super NES and Super Metroid, which in turn opened up the entire SNES library for me to run around chasing the Super Metroid dragon from that point on...

    ...but why? It's portable. Is someone else at the house playing it while a road trip is going on? I've known a few people who wasted money like this, buying "backup systems" in case their PS2 failed, or parents getting a second system for a sibling when the kids only had one TV. Also had...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Offering+Scimitar = Cyan can shred anything vulnerable to instant death in one strike. I'd farm Hoovers in the Maranda desert that way and he'd essentially level everyone else up.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Totally agreed. Nightreign didn't have any of what made ER great, and felt more like ER: The Arcade Game, a totally different game with some asset-reuse. As a mega Fromsoft dude, I gave it a couple days and gave up. The co-op you did of ER with the wife, was that a "pass the controller back and...

    Adrullan Online looks pretty damn good. Not surprised they had to change the name, though. Their main theme is so much like the EQ main theme that it's got a Vanilla Ice "no, ours goes like this, and theirs goes like this" vibe. The EQ-ness in general is palpable. They even show a huge train...

    Wonder what else that trick works on. Pretty neat. Missing out by not playing the Donkey Kong games. DKC and DKC2 are two of the best platformers of the SNES era. They were magical at the time on a CRT TV, just cutting-edge visuals and smooth AF gameplay. DKC3 - while solid - I never liked...

    Yeah, I really enjoyed FF4 DS (which I think I played off of you challenging me to do it). Three playthroughs, need to micromanage augments so that you're as strong as possible on the third run to defeat the secret bosses. The normal game is significantly tougher as well, with fights like Milon...

    When things like this happen, I'll never understand why the companies in question don't just "absorb" the offending developers/game instead of shutting them down. So many great projects have been C&D'd over the years by game companies that could have instead profited off of giving them an...

    Never could get into Ogre Battle as much as I wanted to. It's appealing with all the characters and endings and hidden things. Every fight always ends up just being my one or two super-groups mowing everyone down, though. While we're on SNES memories: My white whale game on SNES was Breath of...
