Nice. How did you like it?
I personally think it's a solid game, but my favorite LoZ game is definitely Majora's Mask.
I thought it was great (probably an understatement, but nothing else comes to mind). It's hard for me to say how it compares to Majora's Mask, since it's been a while since I played that one, but coming off of Link's Awakening, I appreciated how well the series made the jump from 2D to 3D, since so many games fail to stick that landing.

I'm glad I was following a guide for the Water and Spirit Temples, though.

Not really. And I HATE that I don't because it has probably my favorite roster of characters of the modern trilogy.
I know I like the roster but really felt like they could have went in MKX's story direction, graphics and stuff. And honestly with the whole humanising writing trend of characters, especially some more violent characters like Kratos and BJ. Blazkowicz this gen, felt like MK could have followed in it's steps.

I made a story thought earlier as to how it should have went. Plot was a good concept, just more save it for another time deal.

And the grinding just felt boring.

Yeah, I’m super disappointed. It’s a mess man. A big mess.

Water temple is infamous, but playing through it myself I found it to be better than I expected.
Spirit temple made me rage, though. I hate that part of the game.

Yeah. I read it just now.

It read like if Twilight met The Walking Dead, written by an edgy 16 year old girl.

So character deaths by zombies, SJW showcasing (don't mind that bit), a cult ****ing and killing off a key character.

Further proof that the game should have been an one and done, same with Horizon Zero Dawn honestly.

Yeah as soon as I heard of a second one I basically knew Joel was going to die but... the way he does. Getting killed by the other protagonist of the game only to play as her, not Ellie, for the rest of it because Joel killed her dad is just ****ing terrible execution. Vendettas are fine or whatever but they’re the easiest story thread to hold because “You killed my father prepare to die” has been done and done to varying effects. I was disappointed in TLoU but I will say that if there was one thing that game did right was the relationship between Joel and Ellie. Abby’s story is incredibly basic from what I’ve seen and her seeing Joel and Ellie as the “bad guys” after everything she has seen is just dumb. Then you play the rest of the game with the character who viciously murdered the character that I had an attachment to? And I’m just supposed to be cool with it? I’m supposed to sympathized with it because dad dead? It’s SO BAD man. I’m just disappointed. I thought that, hey maybe I wasn’t a huge fan of the original but maybe this one will turn that around but... the only parts of the original game I liked got his head smashed in with a rusty golf club and her hunted down by a new protagonist. I’m just bummed out, man.

This logo is giving me some "Buff SEASON" vibe.

Joke aside, it also make me think of SCP, really hope we get a trailer soon to see how the game look.
I'm hoping so too. Apparently the game's title was leaked very, very shortly before the teaser came out on some trademark website. This is what Scott said.

I'm going to start Persona 3 (the FES version that's on the PlayStation 3 - by my understanding, the PSP version has some significant improvements, but I don't have a PSP). We'll see how this goes - I liked Persona 4 and 5, but I've been playing through the series backwards, and I found Persona 4 to be more difficult than Persona 5.

Scott can't catch a break. Before, he released games too early (in his own words), but he learned better with time. Now, his games leak too early because of multiples factor outside his control.

Guess we can expect FNAF7 to be made by him only, just like the good 'ole time. :denzel:

Good luck with that.

P3 is usually either fans' favorite or least favorite game (obviously it's the former for me). I'd say it's worth it if you can get through the awkward pacing and occasionally cheap difficulty.

Hear, hear my friend.

Like some of what I read seriously sounded cliche. Thought ND wouldn't have tried to follow in that direction. I thought this cult idea could have went more interesting and of course reading is different from experiencing the game but still.

One of the reasons why I don't really zombie fiction is to do with character deaths. I haven't read fully into the guy who also helps Ellie and dies, but if he gets munched to death then that's stupid. Also golf club that kills Joel? Come on.

Some bits sound good, it's more too much in there. The thing with the game is that it created such a terrifyingly realistic way for zombies to appear and all. A more grounded showing of the world in it.

Just a step down from PlayStation after this and Death Stranding. And next will be my most anticipated game this year, Ghost of Tsushima. I've been wanting an open-world AAA samurai game for years and really hope it doesn't mess up.

I’m stoked for Ghost of Tsushima way more than I rightfully should. But yeah Death Stranding was disappointing and now it looks like Part II is a disaster so hopefully PS can pick it up after this.

Happy belated birthday TMNTSSB4 TMNTSSB4 .

Well, time to download MUGEN again.
Why thank you very much my fellow skinpuppet
Ronda Rousey doesn’t fix the limited, clunky, nerfed fighting gameplay and the epitome of tedium that is the grinding for costumes that SHOULD have been the damn default.
Ronda fixes everything

quite the compliment to give the game compared to the usual reaction

good think June has Spongebob to make up for TLOU2

tbh it seems like the SJW stuff will be forced in this game...especially that ***** Abby...out here harming Ellie and Joel...I ain’t even play the first yet I know that’s hella dumb

The ringing in my ears had finally stopped. Again must do with cracking my neck all the time. Trying to stop it and so far so good.

...Huh. So Red-Eyes Dragoon has the TCG name of Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon.

Now could you announce more for the 2020 tin? Like at least one more promo? This would be a great time to bring Harpie's Feather Duster back, especially since there's no Ignition Assault stuff, so Lightning Storm isn't an easy option other than secondhand market. The tin I think is coming out around October again? Maybe slightly delayed so other product has time to sell because of COVID19.

So Michael the Spikester Michael the Spikester and SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 what do you guys think of getting story DLC for MK11? Tried to look for opinions but all I got was "wah, SJW **** in my game, can't see female characters skin". If you don't read it, you won't really know it.

I'm hoping this sort of starts a trend of good story DLC for fighting games. And also mortal Raiden will be interesting.

PlayStation made some great 1st party games this gen. (How ****ing there they didn't push this more) Gravity Rush 2, Spider Man, Detroit: Become Human, God of War, Infamous Second Son etc.

Definitely a few misses though.

Death Stranding to me is best summed up as a great experiment but an ok game. Same to be said for The Last Guardian. The Order 1886 had a great premise and graphics but that's it. Gran Turismo Sport was just there.......nothing to write home about.

Seriously though, Ghost of Tsushima looks great. Set in one of my favourite periods of Japanese history, open-world samurai game, antagonists being one of the feared empires in humanity's history, and the combat system looks great. Provided I can be as Samurai as possible and patient, I'm happy.

Well good news regarding the invasion of Asian Giant Hornets.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/brit...wn-bee-expert-bc-asian-giant-hornet-1.5554746

Still gonna eradicate them though given what they'll do to bee populations.

I'm pretty hyped. I just hope Kombat Pack 2 is also revealed tomorrow alongside it.

Also quickly cleaned up this screenshot of Shannon Stork. The last name may be meaningful due to her canon story, but it's debatable how meaningful itis.

Also, Kombat Pack 2 could be fun. I'll have to look at how much MK11's Kombat Pack as a bundle costs at some point.

I'm gonna buy a PC-Enigine/Turbografx-16 because I'm a financially irresponsible adult. Also it's a cute console and I've always wanted one ever since I first saw it.

Wasn’t that Hudson’s console? As in the creators of Bomberman and Mario Party? That’s so weird to think about.

I love playing the game even a year later but I agree on both points to an extent. I feel like too many times this game limits how creative you can be. I also realized after playing the GG beta that the movement in MK11 is honestly a bit lackluster.

Costume grind also isn't great, yeah. It's most noticeable when you want to try a new character and of course want to personalize them to your taste, only to realize you have like 4 ugly costumes and have to grind character towers to get anything you like.
