As an exclusive I suggest 3D Dot Game Heroes, think Zelda with voxel graphics.

Not exclusives: Battlefield: Bad Company 1 and 2 for their campaigns, and Red Faction: Guerrilla for how much you can tear down things haha, although you can also do that in the Bad Company games.

I think the lack of traditional master dungeons that's to be expected from a LoZ game is the only element that I can heavily pick on for both those games, and TotK came closest to having them.

Also agree on the menu thing. Wii U gamepad mechanic that they should have steered away from the moment they also steered back towards one screen.

The underground area should have been just as limited to explore as the skies. It's cool here and there, but just felt like content bloat.

Let's be honest, even if tech was as cheap as it used to be, Nintendo wouldn't make a console/handheld that is up to snuff with whatever their competitors make.

400 kaizo rom hacks played is wild lol, but yeah I can see how some gamers would lose themselves in that scene because it calls to their gaming needs more than what is commercially available.

Love the short form publication idea.

I like it. I only have one quirk found, and a couple of suggestions.

Edit: Actually 2 quirks. Just remembered the other one.

It's looking great.

Myles wasn't annoying on my first playthrough, but he should def have been a toggle, and wasted potential to not have races with the ghosts of former Lamorn racers.

I don't think I interacted much with him, so there's not much that I can say. The shock and sadness when a former or active member of this community passes on will always be felt, specially to those that were closer to them. My condolences to his family, and his close friends. Rest in peace Michael.

I've never seen you play so much videogames, so I'm glad that painting has made you happy to also do the other things that you love.

I hope you're doing better from that food poisoning. And don't worry about beating the Tales games before Arise, might as well wait to see if it gets decent reviews haha.

Ratchet & Clank series is so good. I only played the PS3 games though. Tried a little bit of the first R&C on PS2, but was not adpating well to controls. I will get to it some day haha.

Been playing Deliver Us the Moon as a game to relax between Nier Automata sessions. It's also leaving game pass soon, so I might as well have tried it before it leaves.

haha, yeah the game can be a bit tough if you don't grind a little. It's a JRPG after all.

I have to get back to Vesperia on game pass eventually. I was playing Rayman Legends recently, and it's so good.

Could always farm for Metal Slimes to increase your level significantly. There's a way to do it where you can 100% get Metal slimes, and increase the XP and gold from such encounters. Relies on the use of Pep Powers.

hahaha

Legend of Mana was on PS1. Also the Ninja Gaiden games (well 1 and 2) are the Sigma versions.

This isn't even up for debate. Prime.

"I've also watched four movies so far; I don't watch them in one sitting, but watch them in twenty to thirty minute increments"

That's what I usually do too. I can watch for longer if what's happening in the movie is keeping me entertained.

I enjoyed both games.

You wanting to start WW3?

Merry christmas

Sim City 2000 was my entry into this series. Was never good at it, but it was fun just trying to see what you could build with the money cheat code.

Every game on the NES is a Souls game.

Attaboy. Good job, and kudos.
