Pretty sure I'm just as critical of Nintendo as any other developer. When I praise Nintendo it's almost always the old stuff.

So then this

isn't a great game because you don't think it compared to Mario? And you expect us to take you seriously, why exactly?

tiesto · « **Reply #14461 on:** November 03, 2014, 10:29:13 PM »

I was pretty meh on Meat Boy... didn't like the floatiness of the controls, nor do I like the unlimited lives, lots of checkpoints style of platformer design very much.

Himu · « **Reply #14462 on:** November 04, 2014, 02:55:46 AM »

The floaty controls I can understand. It takes getting used to. Lives don't matter when dying makes you start the whole level again, and Meat Boy doesn't have check points. That's kind of the point. You play the level until you've mastered it and get an A+ or pass it period.

Like this.

I'm not sure how lives/checkpoints factor into it when you're required to start the level over every time you die. Lives in platformers are also a waste of time and redundant. In Mario games, when you run out lives, you start at the beginning of the stage again, anyways. Which doesn't really mean anything because you're going to do it again anyways. Super Meat Boy isn't that type of game. Its difficulty is consistent. More than that, the stages that DO have checkpoints have iives: warp stages.

Pc port - if you play it in full screen the frame rate is out of whack so you have to play it in windowed mode. Ten minutes. Wow, way to make us take you seriously. Again. "I thought this was shit because it failed to entertain me". Wow, nice reduction and criticism skills, 1st grade started a few months ago, Mrs Ross is your teacher, correct?

So what games do you like currently? Because I get the feeling the only things that hold up to you are the memories of games you played when you still liked video games. So it's either full on ignorant nostalgia or dejected bitterness.

That new Xenoblade game takes the cake for the worst art of any game so far this gen. It looks horrendous.

Captain Toad looks like a great game to just pick up and play for 10-20min bursts. Can't wait to get my hands on it

Video Games: The Movie is on Netflix now, at least in Canada.

The movie started off nicely with a montage set to Queen, but then I noticed watermarked IGN Star Wars footage ... It was really all downhill from there.

Good god... Titan was an FPS MMO!?

Is it really that hard to make WoW 2 more successful than the first??

ftfy, also yes. it is.

there's a postmortem on Titan on Kotaku or somewhere that actually makes it sound like more than just an FPSMMO and also sheds light on why it would've never worked. WoW is one of, if not the most profitable game in history, you can't just churn out a ordinary sequel to a game that was extraordinary in every conceivable way. It's smarter that they just keep dropping expansions, but even that can't last forever.

Whatever, Diablo 3 might as well be WoW 2, game is everything good about that crack-like loot grind delivered faster and harder. Especially since they added seasons. If only there was a huge interconnected world filled with players like WoW's overworld, that would close the gap right up.

Raban · « **Reply #14489 on:** November 08, 2014, 11:33:27 AM »

Can you even imagine what the story/lore would be like for Warcraft 4 anyway? Players have been killing straight up Gods in WoW for awhile now. The only shit left is to straight up fight The Burning Legion/Sargeras. You know the dudes who kill entire worlds and trillions of lives throughout the universe. Guess anything is possible with time travel and alternate timelines though.

Between two low powered GPU's all devs can really do is slap a extra coat of AA on the PS4 version if both are 1080P or the boner version is a step down in rez to 900P (Which looks slightly blurrier) or so while same settings are preserved. Problem is Sony sold them on 1080P 60FPS and how powerful the PS4 was before the start of the gen that any "Well they will look like the difference between PS3 and 360 versions. IE Not much" talk is immediately "parity", "Moneyhats", etc.

I feel like I need to check this out from the library, myself. I ain't giving Sega money for this shit, lol.

Lost World was pretty shit, but this looks Sonic 06-tier of entertainment. Not so much Sonic Blast GG or Sonic Labyrinth, but Sonic 06 is an acceptable comparison.

Ah, piss. I figured that they didn't live together/close enough any more, but I guess the unfished LPs make it even more improbable. Shame. Their descent into insanity was pretty fun to watch last time.

On an unrelated note, watching animations play out is the worst thing about JRPGs.

Now here is something really interesting. Online retailer ‘Play-Asia’ has listed Dead Or Alive 5: Last Round for the PC. Dead or Alive 5 Last Round is the latest update to the Dead or Alive 5 series and according to the online retailer, the PC version will be released alongside the console versions.

Now this could simply be an error from Play-Asia’s part, therefore we’re marking this story as a rumor. And as with all rumors, you should take it with a grain of salt.

Still, it’s worth noting that back in April, Tecmo Koei asked PC gamers to show their interest on the company’s games on both its FB and Twitter pages.
