I love how when Luigi hops on the one Koopa and it just *explodes*, the player visibly doubles back to that spot as if to reaffirm that actually happened.

[@Vee_Sheep]

as someone who unfortunately played Mario is Missing as a kid (and kinda liked it, dont judge my 6 year old self) i'd like to mention that when the koopas explode or... do one or two other possible animations, idk, they drop one of the landmark things you need to grab (read: walk over) and return to the info booths how do you know what koopa has a thing? _that's the neat thing, you don't_ tbf, i don't doubt for one second that it was also a "wtf did i just witness" reaction from the player, lol if you already knew all that... oops, sorry ú_ù

To be fair to ninja theory, there's documented evidence that a lot of the most questionable decisions made for that reboot were mandated by Capcom itself.

[@sipcee]

I think people would be more charitable if ninja theory didnt have a terrible track record with both game quality and weird problematic shit in their games.

[@alexanderkosten7611]

@@sipcee The reboot also got this weird... social movement behind it? A bunch of journalists, who, being a species prone to contrarianism, saw that the reboot "made the dudebro gamers mad" or something, and decided that since it had... something vaguely resembling a modern social message, that meant said message had to be praiseworthy? At least, that's the only explanation I can think of for how anyone managed to say good things about the story of the game with the sniper rifle abortion. It's really hard to divorce the discussion about the DMC reboot's actual flaws and quality from all the drama involving reviewers and developers, is what I'm getting at.

Surprised there wasn’t any mention of some of the Pokemon spin-offs. You’ve got conquest which has you using these cut little creatures for war, rangers which makes you draw so many circles you’ll break either your hand or the screen and go which got gamers walking (that one is probably the most shocking). Also shoutout to metal gear rising revengence which takes you from a stealth action game with so many metaphors that your brain will explode, to a fast pace hacking and slashing game where we get football kicked by a super senator while a crowd cheers in the background. I love this game.

Sega still owns the characters from Chronicles. It's just that if they are used in any capacity, Penders could sue again since his earlier cases for the game were thrown out. The situation sucks though cause I liked Chronicles (even if I'm aware of the flaws) and wanted a sequel that could have improved upon everything. But not like Sega cared for Sonic stories anyway. #FucKenPenders

I don’t care how many flaws it has, I love Sonic Chronicles. Yes it’s extremely unfinished in places, the soundtrack most of all, but it was my first ever RPG, and it’s honestly kinda fun. The combat does rely on the touch screen a lot, but I actually like the fact that your special moves require physical action, as it gives an extra layer to your decision making and resource management. And the story (despite its legal problems) is actually pretty decent, giving us a traditional Sonic story in the first half and a dimension exploring one in the second, complete with unique alien planets and races. Yes it’s extremely easy, and yes it has a lot of glaring problems, but it definitely isn’t a failed game, and I’d encourage people to give it a chance.

The reason Tingle got two spin-off DS games that were Europe and Japan exclusive is because Tingle was widely disliked by the American Zelda fanbase in the mid-2000s. Tingle was actually very well-liked in Japan but basically reviled everywhere else at the time. I genuinely wouldn't be shocked if Twilight Princess was made to cater Zelda's Western fandom, what with Link appearing conventionally cooler and more mature than he'd ever been at that time, the game having a generally darker tone and Tingle not even being mentioned despite having appeared in every 3D Zelda game since Majora's Mask.

Love the video but with that opening it made me raise an eyebrow. DMC is actually pretty good, the gameplay is tight yet understandable, the new concepts for combat are fun, platforming is actually decent, the definitive addition is way better fixing and adding tones of new stuff. It's just the plot and characters who are complete garbage, that much is undeniable. But everything else is pretty good, to great in my opinion. Either way keep up the good work, and have a nice day.
