It was definitely a good game, don't get me wrong, but IMHO every single subsequent Souls-type game exceeded in major ways.

And I admit I could be a bit biased against it. In general, I just really hate the idea of hub-worlds.

Sorry, kid, but your shitty clickbait website is offering nothing but clickbait here.

Here's a handy tip: if you've got a story that can be reduced to nothing but a link to another site with nothing of consequence being lost... congratulations, it's shitty clickbait.

Funny. I consider Dark Souls a defining-classic, and rank Demons Souls at the bottom. I'm sure it's a great game and all, but combat is so slow, and the draw distance is so bad. I just can't look past those problems.

Twilight Princess did a number of things well... but, ultimately, it marks the point where the Zelda series started to focus more on appealing to nostalgia than providing new and interesting experiences. So, rather, I would say I think it's the last Zelda game I'd want Zelda U to draw inspiration from.

Don't get me wrong, Twilight Princess is a great game... but when I think of the adjective "inspired," Wind Waker and Majora's Mask are the first Zeld...

Not sure why you'd expect a movie tie-in game to have all that much content. If you want a good 3D platformer... keep waiting. Or buy Super Mario 3D World. It's pretty awesome.

Let us now ignore Toukiden entirely and focus all of our efforts lamenting the Death of Suikoden.

Even if, yeah, half the games were teach, the ones that weren't trash were so, so,mo good.

I had the opposite experience. After Duscae, my expectations were pretty damn low. So when the demo wasn't complete rubbish, I was impressed.

I mean, yeah, obviously the game is going to flop hard--SE has simply invested too much time and money into for there to be any other outcome--but I think the final game might actually end up being kinda okay.

Of course. When you spend 10+ years insisting that something is going to be really good, nothing will change your mind.

LMFAO. I'm all for calling out people who try to defend the indefensible anti-consumer nonsense that plagues this industry, but come on. You are literally mad because youre not earning points in a rewards program for purchases made before that program existed.

Should Nintendo have had My Nintendo do ready to launch much sooner? Absolutely. But that's not the issue here. At all. You made a decision which you later regretted, and are now desperate to blame it on anyone ...

I guess I'm not. I stopped caring about 2D platformers in the early 90s.

Anyway: the SNES did not exist in the 80s, and few of the games you mentioned are commonly regarded as 2D platformers. If you're looking for a similar fix on PS4, I highly recommend Rogue Legacy. It's a metroidvanias roguelike.

Giana Sisters and Shovel Knight are also quite good.

And, of course, all of these:

That's not really Nintendo's fault. They told you when the old rewards program was going to end, and they told you a new rewards program was on its way. You could have postponed your digital purchases until the new program was running--so yeah, you lost out on some rewards, but that's because of your own impatience.

Finally: someone else who realizes the PSN store is rubbish. After they overhauled it years ago by dumping advertisements everywhere, the PSN store has had a ton of issues (slow loading, crashing, etc.) but literally everyone on the Internet kept going on about how much of an improvement it was.

I don't know that the actual eShop is getting overhauled, but the Internet's eShop most definitely is--and it really, really needed it. Buying, or even just browsing the eShop on the web was just an awful experience.

What does "sidescrolling" mean? I looked it up on Wikipedia, and what they describe it as is basically just a 2D platformer, and the PS4 has a fair number of those.

I thought it might mean a 2D platformer where the screen scrolls automatically, but I don't think I've ever seen any other game do that but Mario.

Do sports games really exist as a discrete genre? Really? I love actually playing sports, but every time I get a "sports" game all I end up with is a really boring sports simulator that's not very interested at all in trying to replicate the actual experience of playing a given sport.

This.

I can only feel sorry for people that only play games in a select genre, or a select few genres. They're missing out on so, so so much.

In the short-term, yeah, it's good for the console in the sense that it helps generate interest... but long-term? It's devastating.

All of this focus on the NX has done an incredibly amount of damage to the WiiU, which kind of forces Nintendo's hand to release the NX sooner rather than later--and generally speaking, consumers don't like to support gaming platforms that aren't supported themselves.

Definitely a stretch. If you can't remember Daikatana, you've no business writing upo one of these lists.

No thanks. I'd much rather it be better than the last two games, which were mediocre at best.

3015d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

That would certainly explain all of those shitty SNES games.
