It was 2009, I was 14, and I had just gotten an Xbox 360 of my own on Christmas the previous year after constantly using my brother's after school while he was at work. Having my own Xbox wasn't just liberating, but was also the first time I felt current with gaming. However, this newfound...

Same. I use main quests as vague destinations but I make it a point to engage with anything I can on my way over. That's my usual approach to any game but in hindsight, I think it was a mistake in Tears of the Kingdom to a point. The main quests should definitely be prioritized for the abilities...

It's the opposite for me. I find binging allows you to retain more information and notice more details since you're not taking week long breaks inbetween episodes and waiting months between seasons where you're watching other things and scattering your attention elsewhere. I've made so many more...

There are so many franchises and games I consider myself a massive fan of but my top 3 are usually Zelda, Halo, and Resident Evil. Halo: Combat Evolved and Resident Evil Remake being 2 of my all time favorite games. Mario and Metroid are also up there, and I absolutely love the Tomb Raider...

I can't remember the last time I listened to music in place of in-game audio, but whenever I did, it's because I was playing a multiplayer/co-op mode and sometimes you do need that hype music.

So basically, nothing has changed and the internet is horrible.

Bathroom attendant, male stripper, or a boxing promoter for homeless people. But I guess I'll settle with being a boring CEO of an imaginary company.

Same situation here. The NES belonged to my oldest brother but we were allowed to play it growing up because he was too busy with his N64 anyway. I don't have any real memory of playing my first game, let alone the first time I played Super Mario Bros. It wasn't exactly a special game for me...

I think I had a guy haggle me into getting a deal on a game once. I was out game hunting with my brother and a game I was kinda keeping my eye out for was Deadly Premonition on PS3. From store to store it just wasn't something I would ever see and so I looked it up on ebay out of curiosity and...

Same, currently on World 4 and it definitely feels like a proper successor to Super Mario World. Even if it overstayed its welcome and became a generic formula to pump out money, I enjoyed the New series for everything that it brought to the table that clearly paved the way for Wonder, but it...

Now this is a song that'll make even your shidoshi proud.

New year, same mission. Get through the backlog. 2023 was a big year for gaming and so naturally, I couldn't get to them all, so I'd like to get through some of those before the end of the year like Dead Space, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It's still January and I've...

Oh, definitely. Physical dictionaries are so heavy and good for throwing. You can even get a good damage bonus depending on the type too.

Honestly, I think I can recall kicking the doctor's ass at Street Fighter as soon as I saw light.

Yes, same dude! I remember reading that Bungie was done with Halo and wouldn't be continuing Master Chief's story and I was so bummed about it until 343 just came out of nowhere with Halo 4. That E3 announcement trailer still goes so hard today. The lead up to Halo 4 was one of the greatest for...

If you're enjoying Limbo then I'd highly recommend Inside from the same studio and the Little Nightmares games which are way creepier and charming. These dark puzzle platformers are actually becoming quite a genre favorite of mine. Especially the Little Nightmares series that is packed with so...

Resident Evil 2 Remake, Streets of Rage 4, and Metroid Dread. RE2 and Dread being games I've waited and been wanting for almost 20 years and all felt like pipe dreams due to circumstances that had occurred in the gaming industry between those long years. The idea of a Resident Evil 2 remake...

Continuing a trend I started early in the year with the Uncharted trilogy, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and Alan Wake, I have recently revisited the original Assassin's Creed to get the last few achievements I missed so many years ago and it was a complete f*cking nightmare and...

Almost always exclusively nude mods. No other reason to be gaming on a PC otherwise.

I've had this thought for a while because the story of Tears of the Kingdom and by extension, Breath of the Wild, is just one giant paradox. No matter where you want to put Rauru's reign on the timeline, Zelda’s presence and actions during the Imprisoning War creates a new branching timeline...

350 hours in and I have finally beaten Tears of the Kingdom after 152 Shrines, 120 Light Roots, 911 Koroks, 23 Main Quests, 60 Side Adventures, 31 Shrine Quests, 139 Side Quests, 18 Memories, 12 Schema Stones, 34 Yiga Schematics, 20 Sage's Will, 26 Old Maps, 147 Bubbul Gems, All Energy Cells...

Don't think I ever really "hated" a Zelda game, but I certainly didn't care much for Adventure of Link, the Oracle games, Majora's Mask, and Spirit Tracks. The latter 2 being games I'd like to give another shot sometime. But none of these games ever made me feel like the Zelda series was ruined...

I'm more of a completionist than a speed runner. However, certain games will sometimes require speed runs for various completion bonuses or achievements and if the games are designed with it in mind, I'm much more likely to attempt it. For example, speed running is part of the natural...

Now I gotta make friends!? :oops:

Definitely. Me, 100%.

Damn, I still haven't played Triforce Heroes.

It depends on the situation. I really enjoy going to gaming stores, especially the retro ones, but the pricing and condition is always a deciding factor for me on whether to order online or buy in store. I typically don't buy new at Gamestop unless I'm pre-ordering because that's the only way to...

It honestly does feel like more of a reboot with not just how much the games mirror the original 2 on NES, but also in how specific events seem to be reoccurring in this one linear timeline. It's like a restructuring of past games while also acknowledging that the previous games are all legend...

I mean, doesn't the presence of Hylians on the surface negate Rauru's founding of Hyrule anytime before Skyward Sword? Because he'd either be king of Hyrule during the time of Hylia or during an era where Hylians were living in the skies and neither make sense. Also, I never understood the...

It's insane how this song is only 3 years old and yet makes me so nostalgic for the early 2000s.

Was really hoping we'd get some sort of DLC to explain Kass' disappearance through Penn. Some more Zonai devices would have been cool too as well as more to do in the depths. Part of me doesn't mind if they were to reuse this world one more time just so we can get a new Zelda game sooner, rather...

I feel like there's been a serious decline in the quality and ambition of animated shows. We used to have great cartoons in the 90s and early 2000s that pushed the boundaries of censorship and storytelling like Batman: The Animated Series, X-Men: The Animated Series, and Teenage Mutant Ninja...

I think the right kind of exclusives can incentivize a purchase of a console, which is why Nintendo and Playstation have been able to dominate for as long as they have. Without exclusives, Nintendo wouldn't even be a competitor and Playstation wouldn't have amassed as much goodwill as they have...

I'm with A Link in Time on this. Halo is up there with Zelda for me, so I don't have any problems with FPS games. I know competitive multiplayer is synonymous with the FPS genre, but that’s not something that I've ever really been into. I've dabbled in Halo multiplayer here and there, and while...

Same. Just wrapped up my third dungeon after 240 hours. Finally started to prioritize the dungeons before there's no game left and I only have the Sage's abilities just to face Top G. Still got quite a few caves left to find, 2 Labyrinths, and a pretty sizable portion of the depths unexplored as...

If we're talking BotW/TotK, I think I'd lean towards the direction Wind Waker went with their tribal-like design. Maybe it's because I played Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but I'm kinda digging the idea of Aztec/Mayan zombies. Especially with how similar Zonai clothing and architecture is to those...

Yes, my son.

I like fighting games, but I don't really play them often nor am I technically good at them. There aren’t many I've bothered learning and trying to get good at, but my favorites have to be Street Fighter II, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Injustice 2, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, and Smash...

Depends on what they're trying to achieve with said remake. At the end of the day, these games have to make money and if a simple port can't do that, then maybe it's worth looking into remaking it. Especially if it's being done to relaunch a dormant series which can then be used as the...

First-person ruined Resident Evil and is something I still believe is holding 3D Metroid back. I got nothing against first-person games in general, I do love me a good shooter and it definitely works for horror games, though for me personally, just doesn't suit Resident Evil very well, and...

I can definitely see how there might be some fatigue when it's literally reusing the same map, visuals, and structure of the last game. It's not the same shock and feeling of going from a Wind Waker to Twilight Princess and then a Skyward Sword, where you knew you were getting a completely new...

145 hours in, got all the towers, Goddess statue offerings, Master Sword, and dragon tears.

I feel like various leakers have been right on the money with this despite their timing being absolute sh*t. I don't think it's a coincidence either. I think for Nintendo, their retro market caps off at the N64, so we likely won't ever see Gamecube as part of their NSO subscription. There's...

At 100 hours, I finally knocked out the Wind Temple. Currently 110 hours in, barely unlocked auto build, and just completed the floating colosseum in the depths. Also, finally got 2 extra batteries.

There's some on this forum.

So after the announcement of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Sonic Superstars during Summer Games Fest, discourse over whether or not 2D games should be priced at a premium cost has kicked up again since the release of Metroid Dread in 2021 with Sonic Superstars' "base game" confirmed to be...

My parents weren't gamers, but I've heard stories of my dad playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES which I'm sure wasn't uncommon for the time. But as long I've known him, he had no interest in video games, but my parents were very understanding of the hobby and didn't really look down on it, at...

Ignorance? Getting big stars for animated movies is standard practice and a lot of celebs, Chris Pratt and Tom Holland included, have done voice work before.

As a wrestling fan, something that I feel has gone under the radar was a report that came around the time Wrestlemania was in Hollywood that said Cody Rhodes was in conversations for roles in a Mortal Kombat film and a Zelda movie. Nothing came from it as far as I know, but the guy is a massive...

I want to say by Hyrule Forest Park. I was running towards a Shrine and I saw the hands and stopped to see what was up out of curiosity and then they chased after me relentlessly and killed me before I got to the Shrine. Between them and those goddamn walking trees which gave me a jumpscare when...
