@Rothmus Every sport game? I can make way more on a year than I would in 24 hours. I would have to be absolutely locked in for 24 straight hours. Meanwhile I could be placing bets on little league games with the other dads and make a killing while I’m betting on the real sports too
@ChomperElectric Just do skylanders without toys to life being necessary, and don’t make Spyro a man character, just a collab/guest character.
Take the skylanders spyro and just rename him. Not like he even looks like Spyro to begin with
Missed Star Fox Zero? That's your loss.
Not because it was flawless. It had real problems.
But because the people who actually put the time in got something most of you refused to even try.
The control system was excellent once you stopped treating it like a broken twin-stick game.
Motion aiming on the GamePad while steering with the stick created a completely different rhythm.
You had to actually lead shots.
You had to manage your movement and your targeting separately.
It rewarded practice in a way almost no other on-rails shooter has managed since.
The more you played, the more precise and expressive it felt.
It wasn't a gimmick.
It was a proper skill-based aiming system that most people never gave a real chance.
The loudest criticism almost always came from the same place: people who played for twenty minutes, got frustrated, and decided the whole game was broken.
They never adapted.
They never learned the rhythm.
They just confirmed their own bias and moved on.
Zero tried to evolve the formula instead of repeating it.
It used the Wii U hardware properly instead of ignoring it.
Some of the levels and set pieces were genuinely strong.
The co-op was fun.
The bosses had personality.
It had ambition.
And it got absolutely roasted for daring to be different.
Now we're all celebrating a 64 remake and a bunch of the same voices are acting like Zero was some embarrassing low point that proved the series can't try new things.
As if the problem was the attempt itself and not the fact that a huge chunk of the audience refused to meet it halfway.
You didn't want a new Star Fox game.
You wanted the one you already knew how to play perfectly on the first try.
Zero asked something from the player.
A lot of people decided that was unacceptable and review-bombed it into the ground before it ever had a real shot.
If you bounced off it after a short session and never went back, you didn't actually play Star Fox Zero.
You just tried it, got annoyed, and decided your first impression was the whole story.
The new 64 remake might be great.
I hope it is.
But some of us are still wondering what the series could have become if more people had been willing to actually engage with what Zero was doing instead of demanding it feel exactly like the game they already mastered twenty years ago.
Am I wrong, or did most of the people who called it a disaster never actually learn the aiming system?
A fun thought I had tonight.
I never grew up playing crash games, but I always knew what he was.
Just like I never had a PlayStation.
Crash and PS were this whole other world.
But I grew up with Spyro enter the dragonfly on GCN.
He felt like a Nintendo character to me.
How odd
@TheCriticalDri2 I do really like zendaya, but she has fallen into the Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, Jack black, Kevin Hart, pit.
Every actor just feels like generic zendaya with one twist.
Idk if that means she’s great or if she is getting typecast, idk.
But I’m getting tired of her
@FallonTonight@ChiliPeppers@RHCPchad I love that every will ferrel beat was a basic “kick snare kick snare kick kick snare” at its core. Tells me he actually knows the basic core competencies of drumming and that’s cool af
@Yuliayyc@uncledoomer Actually she was beautiful before.
She was full and natural and it was gorgeous.
Now she is a husk, a skeleton with skin.
It’s an abomination fueled by Hollywoods unreasonable standards and the judgment of being in the public eye.
She should quit and eat some burgers
@_ELstudios_ I like this. For me, I would do:
Black shadow for captain falcon
Mewtwo for pikachu
Hades for Pit
Probably not change much else. Really cool concept!
@DustinNickerson I hate to break it to you.
But this isn’t funny.
Not like in a “that’s not funny” kinda way.
Just a stale boring no punchline kinda way.
The joke here is “looney tunes didn’t age well cuz everyone talks funny”
I never thought I would reach a point where a price tags would stop me from buying any game with Mario on the cover. Now I go into target and see galaxy 1-2 and tennis fever and it’s so surreal.
There’s Mario games that I don’t own.
I’m not used to that feeling
