  1. Trying to play Persona 5, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, and Breath of the Wild alongside each other. I put TMS off so long that I feel bad that P5 came out before I finished it and kinda want to quit.... But I'm basically at the end now and will probably be done with it next week or so....

     

    But BOTW is so good I've had trouble tearing myself away from it. If I had more time and fewer important things that I need to do in my daily life, I'd do nothing else but play these games.

  2. I can't get enough of Berserk. There has been so much backlash over the new series because of the CG, but I don't think it looks bad at all. I'm glad to finally see the anime continue. I went back and watched the 1997 series and the 3 movies, and I can see why people would be upset in comparison, but I'm into it. Anyone else watching the new Berserk?

  3. this super mario game doesn't feel like a mario game very much tbh.. dunno something is off, music isn't right and the graphics aren't very clean, it just looks/feels like a run of the mill mobile game. Played only the demo levels and not sure if worth unlocking the rest.

     

    I have been playing the 3 free levels over and over again. Haven't purchased it yet (I've spent a ton of money this week and really can't justify paying $10 for a game like this right now). I think it's okay, but I really hate not being able to control Mario. Not being able to speed up or control your jumps in midair or TURN AROUND really throws me off because it's completely the opposite of what the Mario spirit is. That being said, it's the best mobile game I've ever played (I don't like mobile games at all).

  4. I'm a little disappointed that there is no CD release for this EP.... I don't love vinyl like lots of people because it's cumbersome to work with, but it's the only option that is given for this one except for this mysterious "physical component."

     

    I do want to get The Fragile thing there, but $80? I can't imagine I'll be able to afford that anytime soon. Release it on CD......

  5. I just don't get why every Nintendo system needs a gimmick. I wish they would release a vanilla system with a normal controller that just plugs into a tv and then just make great games. It's reinventing the wheel.

     

    I don't like the word 'gimmick.' The reason Nintendo always needs to do something different to separate themselves from the competition is because they're always going to be the underdog this day and age. Video games have become a much more 'adult' pastime, and unfortunately, it seems that gamers are such that they'll disavow games and consoles that aren't 'dark,' 'gritty,' 'mature...' whatever else you want to add to that. I know that's not everyone, but the image of the so-called gamer these days is that of this type. Nintendo keep making bright, colorful, and lighthearted games, and no matter how fun those games may be, they're always considered 'too kiddie.' I showed Super Mario 3D World to my brother one day, and he actually said, "This looks pretty good, but I've outgrown Nintendo." Wtf. So anyway, they need a gimmick because trying to do the exact same thing that Sony and Microsoft are doing isn't going to help them. People have their preconceived notions and won't align with Nintendo because of that. Nintendo has to do something to try and impress everyone in an effort to at least get people to buy their console as a secondary system.

  6. I finally got a chance to listen to Cheetah, and I love it. It's a head-nodder throughout. CIRKLON3/Cheetah3 teac sounds so much better than the Soundcloud version. It's kind of like it's a new track, although there's really nothing changed about it. The whole record is great, especially the last 3 tracks.

  7. I'm also thinking about grabbing Shovel Knight. Looks like it's received high praise all around.

     

    Anyone here play it before? Do you like it?

     

    I think it's definitely worth the money. I need to finish it. I got to the end and it glitched up on me, making me replay the entire stage again... That's where I quit. But it's fun! Very well done.

  8. Sister is my favorite Sonic Youth record, followed by Goo, Dirty, and Experimental Jet Set. I like Daydream Nation, but I honestly never figured out why people hail it as being their best.

     

    I actually rarely listen to SY, as they're kind of a "mood" band, but just about the only songs of theirs that I can listen to anytime are Catholic Block, White Cross, and Master-Dik.

  9.  

    started playing bravely default and boy does this game seem good so far.

     

     

    it is! although the second half was a bit lame :(

     

    By the way, I never beat MM4! Right now I'm halfway through Megaman ZX - awesome game but it really has some absurd boss patterns so it's a bit frustrating that you end up having to brute force your way through the game with E tanks...

     

     

    MMZX was fantastic. I agree that it could be a bit difficult in places, but really wasn't nightmarish, especially coming after the MM Zero series. I have MMZX2 but never beat it. I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

     

    Why didn't you finish MM4? It's probably my second favorite classic MM game.

  10. ^^^ Good god, that looks amazing.

     

    What is everyone's opinion on pretzel buns? I'm a huge fan personally.

     

    Keep this thread going for the good of WATMM. Carry on, brave burger knights.

     

    EDIT: New page, the post before this had great burgers. Hot damn.

     

    I've only eaten a pretzel bun once. I don't recall it being bad. I don't have a preference for the types of buns, I only require that it be buttered and/or toasted or grilled. I don't care for a sweet bread.

  11. I totally want to get back into SMM, but it seems that the ideas have gone away from me. Nearly every one of my stages was built around a special idea, a theme, or a mechanic, but I can't seem to think of anything interesting or fun enough to make a whole stage out of. So sad.

    VICE is doing a documentary series on game development, with the first episode being about Alex Preston, and the challenges he faced making Hyper Light Drifter:

    I do believe I'll watch this considering I'm currently making a game using GameMaker studio, the app that HLD was made in.

     

    I'm curious to see what kind of game you come up with Flim. It's a prospect I've considered for a while myself.

     

    I'm about ready to shelf Fallout 4. Still haven't finished Far Harbor, but with the stupid-ass settlements constantly getting attacked and demanding my help I'm not sure it's worth it. Fuck those stupid settlements. All I wanna do is explore random locale, grab loot, and kill zombies n' shit.

     

     

    Well, it's a 2D sidescroller. Nothing to speak about right now. I just started on it this past Sunday. It's my final project for my Master's. If it doesn't turn out to be total crap, I'll show you what becomes of it.

  13.  

    One of my top 15 favourite albums.

     

    Funniest thing is that it's objectively not that good. It doesn't suck but there is one really good track and the rest are just "what the fuck?"

    But it kind of reminds me of Nirvana when Smells like Teen Spirit came out: one good track with a bunch of "what the fuck?" but it came out at the right time that made it stand out from everything else. It did a good job capturing the the mood and insanity of being on drugs. The novelty hasn't worn off on it. It's the Ween of IDM.

    which one is your "really good track"?

     

     

    lol I think there's more than one! Mr Frosty probably is my favorite though.

     

     

    Mr. Frosty and Winner Takes All are the only tracks I really love on this record. Eggy Toast is okay. I just never fell in love with M&R. I do like it, but I don't even remember the last time I listened to it or had a desire to listen to it.

    Yeah, it has its moments but it isn't that difficult, especially since most Robot Masters are pretty much OHKOs. The dragon actually gave me some trouble though, and that boss in one of Dr Wily's stages that you can only beat with the Crash Bombs was a bit insane!!

     

    @ Ivan: oooh, I think I beat Megaman 3 ages ago but I don't remember! It's one of my faves I think, the OST is awesome!

     

    The US version of MM2 is easy (aside from the Boobeam Trap boss, the Crash Bomb one), but the Japanese version is pretty hard throughout. Not impossible, and nowhere near as hard as the last two MM games, but still hard.

     

    MM3 is a much harder game. Those Doc Robot stages are ones that I still have trouble getting through without the 2nd player controller trick.... In all, I'd say MM1, 9, and 10 are the hardest of the series (honorable mention goes to Dr. Wily's two forms in MM7). Everyone talks about MM games as being very hard, but they're really not that difficult, in my opinion.

     

     

    yep mm2 has a refinement to it that shines in good game design.

    mm3 is fine but gets ridiculous toward the end with the boss rush.

     

    also, mm10 feels like it has poorer design over mm9. much much harder to the point of frustration (for me)...

     

     

    "Poorer" design, yes, but not "poor." It's a brilliant game throughout. I've said it before, but MM10 is a much harder game than 9 because they decided to ramp up the difficulty of the overall enemy behaviors. 9 wasn't like that. It had a type of difficulty that kept you on alert at all times, but never like "RANDOM ATTACK THAT YOU HAD NO CHANCE OF DODGING UNLESS YOU'VE ALREADY DIED HERE" unlike 10...

  15. Yeah, it has its moments but it isn't that difficult, especially since most Robot Masters are pretty much OHKOs. The dragon actually gave me some trouble though, and that boss in one of Dr Wily's stages that you can only beat with the Crash Bombs was a bit insane!!
