The sequel looks amazing.


I'm worried the sequel is trying to do too much. Sometimes I just want to play a straightforward open-world action game.

definitely an issue. Zero Dawn was straight forward but still epic. Hard to capture that.

Did Wal Mart cancel those "accidental" preorders on you guys?


Nope. Not yet at least.


Yes.


Yours got cancelled?


No, I just read that they are cancelling all orders that were placed.

Curious as to where you read that. I saw a story on Kotaku that some orders were cancelled, but many were confirmed and the official Wal Mart Twitter account said congrats to a few people who ordered them.

They could easily cancel them later, but I think it would be a bad PR move for sure.

Yeah, you can spawn and fast travel in the towers you unlock. I think they nemesis system would also be more interesting to me if the enemies didn't seem so samey. I never really remember any of the guys in a unique fashion.

Contrasting this game with the Batman games (which share a lot of the same mechanics) also doesn't really help it out for me.

start watching at 5:36 and tell me thats not memorable


i may be biased but this shouldnt have been bottom paged

I was thinking after hearing some podcasts talk about the N64 Classic that Nintendo could put some 64DD games like Dojin the Giant, F-Zero X expansion, or even Mother 3/3.5 on it. I mean they brought Starfox 2 out for the SNES Classic so why not?

Wasn't the only great game for 64DD, LoZ:OoT Master Quest which was released on GameCube as a freebie?

So, big surprise, Super Metroid is really great. I'm trying to do with a guide and my mind is not in the right place for playing older games. So little hand holding. I've become a weak.

I liked Super Metroid, but still prefer the original.

The original is a solid B, definitely limited by the hardware at the time.

Sure, but how many people do you know with a GC?

I also wonder if they will build rumble into the controller or not.

Gamecube has a great library and one of the best controllers of all time.

I'm glad I kept it. I used to trade in and sell all my games back then I don't have any of my PS or PS2 stuff anymore. I get a real hankering to play Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb sometimes and its never gonna happen now. :-( I figured if I ever had kids they might want to play the GC so I kept it which was some epic planning ahead.

GameCube is probably my all-time favorite console.
