Also, if I may give Noipoi my thoughts:

Skyward Sword is a plenty fine Zelda, but it's a controversial one so you're gonna get a lotta mixed takes. There's also controversial choices Nintendo took with pricing so that just soured people already down on it even more.

It's a solid Zelda. Not the best, but certainly not the worst Zelda has to offer (IMO people who say this don't remember the DS games, 4 Swords,
or the 3DS co-op game). It probably has some of the best storytelling Zelda's ever had as well.

DQ11 is a fantastic RPG, but do know this: The DQ franchise is as traditional RPG as you can get. No frills, no gimmicks, it's tried and true turnbased combat and world exploration and tooooons of dialogue. Personally, I adore it (Still need to finish it tho lul), but it definitely hinges on whether or not you're an RPG guy, 'cause there's not really any gimmick there to try and appeal to non-hardcore RPG folks.

The game is also Kirby game levels of easy or super hard depending on your difficulty selections, and there unfortunately isn't really an inbetween.

For what it's worth, it managed to win Scott the Woz over.

I discovered something SO cursed. So, Incineroar's actor in Smash Bros. also voices Incineroar and numerous other characters in the Pokemon animes. ...And he has also done puppeteering for the Jim Henson company for years. He plays Elmo's dad in Sesame Street.

This never occured to me when I watched Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie when I was young, but now watching this scene as of today makes me realise how badly done the CGI was.

 

[Z25]

Also Lucario and the Mystery of Mew I’ve heard is good.

I’ve still gotta get around to watching it myself.

I have fond memories of the Darkrai movie, but I don’t think it was that good in hindsight.

Lucario and the Mystery of Mew is great, easily one of the best. Manaphy’s movie was alright. Victini’s was ok.

out of the later films though the reboot films with Marshadow, Lugia, and secrets of the jungle all seem pretty good.

Ive only gotten to watch the marshadow one though. It was a cool re telling.

I also discovered that Richter's VA in Smash is the Richter VA who recorded "Die monster! You don't belong in this world!" It's interested to hear that Richter voice in a game that doesn't have super compressed voice over quality.

Finally got the Arthur and Sophia spirits.

Now I wait for Razewing Ratha to go into regular rotation then I'll once again reclaim the title of owning all spirits.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

even though he wasn’t in the IOS crossover…I’d have to go with Xavier Woods (creator of UpUpDownDown, member of the GIAT tag team New Day, and future G4 host)

Really? Not John Cena or The Rock or The Undertaker? I mean, I trust your word as a fan I’m just surprised.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Skyward Sword is a game of very high highs and... well the lows aren't that bad honestly. The HD remake is fixing the major lows that were previously there.

It's the best story Zelda has ever told with the best characterization. It has a lot that BotW was just lacking and I'll love it for that.

I've found difficulty seems to be highly dependent on what kind of player you are. People who mostly avoid enemy encounters and rush the game can struggle even on easy mode, but if you're a slower player things will probably feel a lot easier. It also helps a lot to be familiar with the franchise, since it helps to decide what abilities are good and gives you some ideas of how threatening each enemy is. IMO turning on just stronger monsters is "medium" difficulty, but I might not be the best person to ask about that.

Uhhhh no? David Vincent only started voicing Richter In the Rondo of Blood remake which included a redub of SotN, but that dub was heavily rewritten and doesn't include the famous line, the original was Scott McCulloch

The game is also Kirby game levels of easy or super hard depending on your difficulty selections, and there unfortunately isn't really an inbetween.

SS is my lowest rated of the 3D LoZs but it still gets a solid 8/10. I actually thought the sword combat was very well done. It falls short in other areas though. The other motion controls felt gimmicky, especially aiming didn't work very well. Visually the game looks very much like a video game with trees and objects pasted in rather than looking like a natural world (giant logs to push down cliffs for shortcuts). For the most part I didn't care for the level design or enemy design (the boss of the sand ship and imprisoned just looked stupid). And finally Fi was greatly overused.
With all that said, I would still recommend it, although not over other zeldas. LoZs are known for excellent quality, good length and strong gameplay and SS is no exception.

I remember when Kirby was actually hard. The first kirby on gameboy didn't have copy abilities so you were forced to suck up stars to damage bosses.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Really? Not John Cena or The Rock or The Undertaker? I mean, I trust your word as a fan I’m just surprised.

to you and other outsiders it’d be a surprise…but he’s literally the reason WWE got into gaming crossovers, so yes him. Before UpUpDownDown, WWE only bothered with having games made by THQ and later on 2K. Now they constantly have team ups with people like Smosh Games, IGN, Greg Miller, and even did a 3v3 game of Street Fighter V with another trio tag team outside of their company known as The Elite (and WWE ****ing hates doing work with other large companies).

also they do things with Marvel and DC because of him and Batista, but that aside

Besides…his gear with the rest of his New Day brothers has always been on point (and I ain’t even gonna go after his outside cosplay work)

Spoiler: their DBZ Saiyan gear from WM32 after exiting out of a large box of Booty-O’s

Spoiler: Final Fantasy 14 gear while hosting WM33…and worked with Square Enix themselves since they were a sponsor (also got a short documentary about the BTS work on it)

Spoiler: New Orleans tribute

Spoiler: Sonic Heroes gear

Spoiler: Gears of War gear…used to promote their dlc pack for Gears 5, joining huge fan Batista in the process

Spoiler: Mortal Kombat earlier this year

and of course what they’re wearing now besides their Schoolhouse Rock attire

Spoiler: this

and yeah this made for an excuse to show off just some of his excellent tastes…even left out him doing the FF7 victory theme with Francesca the Trombone
