Saying that Borderlands 2 reminds you of Apex Legends should be a criminal offense. However, introducing the world to the Bass Fishing tackle box music made up for it.

[@aeiouybcdefghi1681]

I'm pretty sure your "sideways" Wii is a "Family Edition" Wii. They are missing a few features, since the tagline was that they were more affordable for families. The biggest difference is that it won't run GameCube games like a normal Wii. Glad I found your Goodwill video, I'm enjoying your channel! Edit: I guess yours won't run normal Wii games either, lol

We Ski is by far one of the best Wii Games you picked up. You didn’t really give it a chance, there are tons of hidden areas in the map, many side quests, and an open world map with a multitude of friends to meet along the way.

The Kamen Rider game is based on the show Kamen Rider Ryuki! Its on Tubi for free; I recommend it so much. It gets pretty dark, and the action is so cool.

[@SSJ3Goku90]

More so, it's based on Dragon Knight, the american adaptation. But yes, the suits are the same as Ryuki.

[@joshtoten]

And unlike Saban's terrible attempt at adapting Kamen Rider Black RX into Masked Rider, Dragon Knight is actually pretty decent for the time it came out. Sure, it feels like a lesser Smallville, but it was fun.

There totally was a perspective shift when you switched to third person in that Star Wars game. Watch closely, and you can see the space rock or whatever that is shift slightly when you press the button. It's not a dramatic shift, but considering how relatively far away it is, the perspective shift wouldn't be that dramatic. Anyway, great video!

Just getting started but had to make a quick note. I've heard soooo many good things about the Lego games, particularly the Lego Star Wars, so I felt really bummed when I picked up Star Wars TCS and the games felt so samey. And I couldn't believe there's literally no penalties. So now seeing Lego Pirates is almost the same as Lego Star Wars and I'm glad I didn't buy any of the others.

[@bluedash24]

I used to play tons of LEGO games but eventually I hit a point where I felt super burnt out & just sorta stopped. Yeah, I was more into the 2010’s games where the characters started to talk & they slowly brought in some new mechanics to each new one, but it wasn’t enough to keep me from getting tired eventually. It certainly was a problem with those games, but I know that many kids really enjoyed them :)

[@theidiotchildren]

The fun in those games come more from finding collectibles and unlocking characters, as the intended audience is young children so the challenge level is always kept to a minimum. They're good, but formulaic and repetitive.

[@francescosmith7859]

I play a lot of light gun games on the Wii, it's one of the reasons I keep it around. I've also used a lot of gun peripherals for it, and the Zapper that comes with Link's Crossbow Training is by far the best. it has the fastest trigger action, the lightest frame, the best stability using the back end to plant, and it works just as well with a nunchuck docked or free hand, as some games require. No third party I bought ever even came close, despite modifying the spring strength and other things myself after buying them. The biggest problem I have with the Wii gun games is that you can't actually aim down the sight, it aims more in the arc of a grenade launcher, you're always pointing way off from where the shots would actually go from a real gun, and I grew up on the NES Zapper which used plastic iron sights that actually functioned like a real gun for aiming. Other than that though, it captures a lot of the fun of arcade shooters with those big plastic guns, and it's much more compact and functional than the Super Scope. The Wii Zapper is the final evolution of the light gun in modern console terms, and it deserves your respect.

When you defeat an enemy base, then the friendly NPCs take over. Sometimes I would make my character a "psycho killer" and then annihilate the friendlies. ha haha ha! They would yell and scream, "he's loco" and I would laugh and laugh.

TBH fuck ASSassin's creed 3, all the games are about getting into a machine to relive ancestor's lives, that's par for the course. BUT you are 100% correct that AC3 absolutely takes a million years to get to the point. In fact the game's beginning has roughly this sequence: - current day main character prologue with VR tutorial - old guy in the past prologue and more tutorials - you gain control of your actual main character (guy in the cover art) but there's STILL a lot of tutorials and introductory story to get through - now you actually get to play the game freely with open world and stuff. This process is a nightmare, I played every AC game when I was little, from the first one up to this one. And even as a 15 year old I noticed just how slow this game was, the "old guy in the past" prologue part can take you as long to complete as an entire playthrough of the first game, I wish I was kidding. The game didn't need half of those tutorials and it also didn't need to have 3 prologues back to back. To quote AVGN: WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
