I almost always enjoy going for all the achievements. 5 minutes ago, Eltosian Kadath said: and as you might see me randomly commenting on, I am playing The Great Ace Attorney games, the odd prequels to the Ace Attorney games set in Sherlock Holmes (or as he is called in game Herlock Sholmes 😛 ) era London, with our Japanese foreign exchange law students Nice, I always did want to get into that series.

That is not a negative statement, or a positive one. It is a neutral comment. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: I mean, I didn’t really have any flaws with BotW’s gameplay unless you count korok seeds being boring to get as a gameplay flaw My pal said the difficulty was too steep at the beginning of the game and that the combat didn't seem built properly around Link's mediocre defensive abilities. Again, just going by what I'm being told here. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: Hey I saw those opinions before the game came out! At risk of getting lynched, I've seen the game and like... "Lazy" and "overrated", I don't know, but I can certainly tell it is ugly lol. Fuck it kinda looks worse than Three Houses while running even more poorly - and it takes some talent to make me give Houses any leeway. Now, this is not a knock on TotK or the Zelda Team, but on Nintendo. It was a fool's errand to try and fit this game on the Switch. What Nintendo seriously needs to do is stop fretting over losing four or five Switch sales and start releasing games on PC already. Imagine this game, but it actually loads stuff further than 10 meters in front of you while not suffering massive FPS drops every two seconds. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: Hey I saw those opinions before the game came out! Yeah, well, I heard one such opinion long after the game came out ...From someone who's not played it, so like... Take it with a grain of salt, I just thought it was funny that it happened the day before Armagon's review. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: I mean his Firestone stats are okayish, I think? Even if he has no long term viability. In normal mode, maybe, and even there I think it's a stretch. You go up one difficulty mode and he gets one-rounded by literally everything in his join map. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: I wasn’t even worried about Arlen (love translations) dying, it was just Merric. But I guess I didn’t consider he might be out of enemy range if I moved him toward Arlen, so whoops. You should be more worried about Arlen. He's the cooler of the two. Though everyone knows 12's best mage is Etzel. 22 minutes ago, Sooks said: Considering the fact that I leveled him to 20 and rigged some levels and promoted him, he is. Y E S The legend of Yubello gains another acolyte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltosian Kadath Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 (edited) I hope the Daruma comment is setting up for some kind of endearing moment in the ending/credits of one of these games.

Armagon Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 12 hours ago, Interdimensional Observer said: I purchased Generations years ago, owing to a childhood with a bit of Sonic (mostly Adventure 2 Battle, but also some Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog including the true ending, Sonic Advance 1, Sonic Battle), and knowing this was probably the best modern Sonic game in since Colors. However, I didn't play very far, and the modern Sonic stages might've been too much for my eyes, maybe they can't handle rolling around at the speed of sound in 3D nowadays. Honestly, this being my first experience with 3D Sonic, i get the feeling that Sonic as it was before didn't work well in 3D. Super unpopular opinion, i know. But it would explain why Frontiers was received so well. 5 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Bee Movie sequel going wild. 1 hour ago, Sooks said: What the fuck. I expected it to just be BotW again, with better mechanics. It makes BotW look like a first draft. What really sells it is funnily enough, it took what made BotW great and combined it with what made Majora's Mask great, that is, sidequests that actually matter that feed into the game's overall story and themes. It's crazy that this is only the second Zelda game to do this. Read my review that Ruben posted the link to for the full thoughts (if you haven't already). 54 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: gain, though, this is just what I've been told. I've also been told the game is lazy, ugly and overrated, but Armagon will kill me so let's not get into that. I could always just kill the other guy. 10 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Fuck it kinda looks worse than Three Houses while running even more poorly - and it takes some talent to make me give Houses any leeway. Ok this is actually cap Three Houses would shit itself trying to do a fraction of this. I can't actually think of any instance i got noticable framedrops either.

True, I think he was getting one rounded by cavaliers.

Accidentally. 4 minutes ago, Armagon said: Ok this is actually cap Three Houses would shit itself trying to do a fraction of this. 1 minute ago, Sooks said: You think BotW is ugly? Damn. Guess that’s subjective, I thought the first game looked decent, and this one looks the same. They try to disguise it by having a really cartoonish, pastel-y artstyle, but the textures, the models and the world itself are all rather plain, not to mention that (at least in ToTK) the draw distance is pitiful. Probably the best they could manage with the Switch's shitty-ass hardware, but it makes the games look a couple generations older. But hey, that clip Armagon posted looks pretty decent! I've not looked at this game too much, so I won't fight this battle too hard. Perhaps it just looks worse on videos, or I've happened to see more unflattering clips. ...I will stand by the godawful drawing distance, though, because I feel that is completely undeniable. You can actually see the grass spawn right in front of you, and far-away hills look like blotches of green. FPS drops should be unacceptable in a 2023 game where your protagonist suffers from myopia. But that's what it takes to get a game in the Switch.

Ah yes, that one time Ace Attorney ran out of ideas for character gimmicks and decided "you know what? This guy's name is Pop and his gimmick is that he threatens to commit bloody suicide every two seconds." It's, uh... there have been better gimmicks. 2 minutes ago, Acacia Sgt said: I'd support the notion if only for the accessibility. It's just typical Nintendo being stuck in the past. The thing is, I don't even think they'd lose much, if at all. Most people either don't care about Nintendo games, pirate them, or are less tech-savvy folks / can't afford a more powerful PC / simply don't want to deal with PC's idiosyncrasies. Two of those groups would be unaffected by PC ports. The amount of people who do buy Switch consoles, but would not if the games were on PC, isn't that high - and it would be compensated by the group that would stop dealing with the emulators' shit by buying official ports on Steam. Like always, it all goes back to the Gabe Newell quote. People bragging about pirating isn't usually because they don't have to pay - it's because they get to play it better than those who do it "right."
