I've actually been playing Dark Dark to test my hypothesis that it is actually the perfect successor to the GBA Golden Suns and is in fact just as mediocre, rather than being bad as everyone claims

So far it is better than the originals in many ways, but also makes some questionable decisions and it seems like they spent so much time rendering all the spells and summons in 3D that they forgot to add anything new

the QTEs in RE4 were at least generous. Bayonetta's never felt like they worked half the time, were too quick, and worst of all affected your ranking in what is a heavily score-based game.

Wonder when RE4 will make its way to the Switch so we can have the all-time definitive handheld+motion control option version.

I like that RE4 scores you at the end of each chapter but never assigns a ranking

I'm not sure if you could make a full Smash moveset out of any of the WarioWare guys but you could maybe combine them all into a single character

i'm looking forward to the 3DS game in July

Captain Falcon has been a character since the beginning, they could come up with a moveset for anyone

I have been looking at my collection/backlog and wonder why I have all these games?

Have any of you ever sold off your collection to adopt a more spartan attitude towards games? What I mean is you get a new game, play it, dispose then get something else?

I know some of you do that already, but have gone from having a ton of games to only a few? How did that work for you? Any regrets on selling off your collection?

It seems that any game I want to play, I could always just purchase again so I wouldn't be losing much by selling things. I just wouldn't have the variety.

After moving a bunch, i consolidated most of my games onto my wii u, so it actually has been extremely tempting to drop by my parent's house sometime and sell all my old physical games

Why do people say the DS2 DLC is the best part of the the game? So far Brume Tower has been a gigantic pain in the rear end including reusing one of the worst bosses from the main game and seemly deliberately making the boss runs an utter pain. Apart from Fume Knight who was actually pretty cool.

I don't remember anyone saying that lol. The snow area is dope though and has my favorite boss fight. Brume Tower was definitely my least favorite if the three though yeah

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but the consensus from various Souls threads seemed to be that they were great, at least outside of the co op areas

The boss fights at least are top notch outside of the coop areas. I remember a lot of people complaining about Brume and the Sunken King area

Not saying it would be great but the Splatoon movement system would at least make it more interesting than standard BR fare.

Nothing else really going for it though, aside from matches being filled with Miiverse shitposts.

this would improve any game. patch Mario Kart to have miiverse style billboards. bring back the miiverse stage in smash. replace the Trainer Tips signs in pokemon with miiverse posts
