The letter by letter search is the most baffling design.

What's more baffling is that they use it in all their interfaces. It's easily the worst part of Playstation Vue, a product that has no shortage of baffling design decisions.

I mean it could be because two things can suck at the same time. Sony's increasingly baffling, barely working store is bad, as is Nintendo's. Sony's is more aggravating because on PS3 it was bad then they got it to a place where it was fine then they broke it they just keep making it worse while the Nintendo store's have always felt anemic and hard to navigate in the same ways.

Nintendo's store ain't great, but it's nowhere near as bad as Sony's. I haven't ever had a problem finding something I want either on the 3DS or Wii U eshops, the only real problem is that it's annoyingly slow.
If I think about it though, I can't think of a game storefront I actually like. I guess Steam and the Xbox 360 Marketplace were the least bad, but I hesitate to call them good.

I think the reception can be drastically changed if you know the trick ahead of time or if you try to tackle it like a normal boss until making a desperation move. My case was the later and I think it was a great way to end the game.

To be fair, it sounds like you would need the XBL login just to play with the other platforms which are wrapped with XBL logins, and saying you "need" it to play the game at all is probably hyperbole.

Have there been any other cross-platform games like this before? I remember EA used to require you make an account for their lovely servers that they would shut down and cripple the game after like a year.

I think so, yeah. I can't think of any cases of cross-platform shenanigans that doesn't require a second login, so I don't see why it would be considered so crazy that MS isn't going to set up special servers for this one game that they already have running under their own architecture.

I laughed, then sure enough I looked over at the closet with my board games and up at the top is a copy of Terpopoly, a UMD-themed variant that someone once bought me as a going-away present.
To my knowledge, it has never been opened.

I do understand the criticisms of BotW, it's not a perfect game. For me though, it was a more fully realized world than any other game I've played. I will say Dark Souls comes very close though.

I can understand people having issues with BOTW too, but if "there weren't enough interesting things in the overworld" was one of them then man, I need to know what would have made it interesting for you.

Late on the Amiibo talk but: the minute they made different amiibos for the same characters in different games the entire thing fell apart for me.


Sorry your Smash Mario won't work with Mario Party, you need a different Mario for that.

Smash Mario does work with Mario Party though? That's like the worst possible example you could come up with too, because the Smash one works literally exactly the same as the Super Mario series one in that case.

I can't think of any games offhand where a different series amiibo just plain won't work, although there are some where different models will give you more / different bonus stuff. BOTW for example gives you the outfit of whatever version Link amiibo you're using, and an item from the game they are from.

They changed the maverick names for the US release of MMX1 (for example, Chill Penguin's name was originally "Icy Penguigo") but didn't change that one for whatever reason. Probably because they didn't know what the actual animal name was either.

So if I'm understanding this response to the SNES classic correctly:

- it's dumb because it's got a bunch of old games you've played before and could be easily pirated
- it's also dumb because at 21 games, it doesn't have enough of the old games you've played before and could easily pirate, or doesn't have all the games you specifically want
- and this is coming from a forum full of people that regularly and proudly buy a game multiple times, at full price, to have it on whatever console you're currently playing the most

kinda sounds like some serious "the food is terrible, and the portions are too small" type poo poo

The Baten Kaitos games, where you create chains and combos on your turn. There's no rhythm games or anything but it's involved.

There was also the PS1's Legend of Legaia, where you did all your moves as multi-button combos, and some combos did special moves.
I really liked that game when I played it in like 1997, seems like it's been mostly forgotten though. I never played the sequel on PS2 but I think I remember hearing it wasn't that good.
