I'm not finished just yet but I'm having a great time. Typically I'm not a huge fan of open world games and exploration for explorations sake but this is one of my few exceptions. I blame Monolith's influence because the only other game that's had me enjoy just aimlessly wandering about is...

Breath of the Wild was created and announced for the WiiU originally then ported to the Switch for launch once they decided to retire the WiiU. They removed any controls unique to the WiiU (the whole Sheikah Plate thing was designed to be used with the gamepad) and didn't include anything to...

It doesn't matter what tech is in it if people don't value the experience it provides as much as the asking price. If someone would prefer a cheaper controller over say being able to count imaginary ice cubes or play rock paper scissors, then having the extra "tech" is a mistake not a...

Game developers are never going to impress every one. The bigger the audience, the more people that could hate the game. Even if people like a game they probably won't like everything. Dev's shouldn't be intimidated by the fact that someone won't like their game to the point of not even making...

I really can't get behind the paid online. I've never paid for it before, since I've mainly played PC and Nintendo consoles, so it's already a pretty significant mental block for me. What am I getting out of it now that I have to pay for it? Free S/NES game for a month? If it was worth a...

I'm sad that online is now a paid service. I hate this free games justify a subscription - if the free games are worth the subscription cost, make it a seperate service and keep providing free online... Otherwise I thought it was pretty good. Would have been happier seeing Splatoon2 was...

My understanding was that the leaks were largely coming from patent information and the stuff that wasn't was even more unreliable. I don't know, I kind of lost interest in following amid all the bullshit. I think people are very much expecting that in terms of power. It's still a handheld...

Undertale. I bought it on a recommendation before I was exposed to the massive hype and if it wasn't for the fact that I kept hearing about it afterwards the whole experience would just be a strange vague memory. I didn't hate it, but I certainly didn't get it. I just went through and played...

I kind of get it as a 20th anniversary thing. The protagonist is from Kanto and there?s a lot of Kanto Pokemon plus Alolan forms of Kanto Pokemon. However between the fact that the main series games never really stopped celebrating the first games and all the extra 20th anniversary Gen I love-y...

You're speaking as though the Pok?mon series is on the decline. Post Gen II, Pok?mon sales have remained pretty steady (if you compare like games, ie. new main entries with new main entries, remakes with remakes and third version with third versions...

So I had a lot of thoughts and a lot of questions as I watched the trailer. Then I saw Splatwoon. Now I just care about two things: 1) It better have gyro controls 2) When?

The Switch isn't like anything we've come to expect in a home console and we know almost nothing about it. Nearly anything could make or break it at this point, however the lack of home media functionality is the last thing I'd pick as significant. I've got a number devices in my living room...

You can always go back to the doctor to address your concerns. Or go see another doctor for a different opinion. It's part of their job to help patients feel reassured and as informed as someone lacking a medical background can.

Sub $15 I'm probably not going to think too hard about a game purchase. Anything above $30 I tend to think about whether I'm really desperate to play it right now. If not, it will probably be cheaper down the line (especially if I forget about it entirely). Time is probably the bigger...
