Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

Oh, why you look at that! They added a new alternative ending to River City Girls that is A TON better than the original one (althought, you have to get the 100% to get it. If you don’t break all the busts, you still get the old crappy one).

You know, thinking about it, I feel torn about this. On one side, the original ending of River City Girls was AWFUL and it REALLY soured an otherwise GREAT game, and I’m glad they added an alternative one more satisfying one for the 100%. On the other side… this is Mass Effect 3 all over again. Just like ME3 before it, this game went exactly throught the same route: great game with awful ending that got a MASSIVE backlash from fans because of it, and eventually the creators change the ending because of the backlash. I’m not sure if this is the best policy althought to be honest, I can’t tell who is in the wrong to begin with… it’s just confusing.

I wish the guns in bioshock sounded a little louder.

That man is livin’ the dream.

The weapon system in Breath of the Wild is definitely flawed, but it’s nowhere near as bad as most people say. It’s completely manageable if you pick and choose your weapons carefully.

Is it just me or does Sleeping Dogs have one of the worst fighting controls ever?

So I’ve been doing a bit of a thunk on Smash:
 
Byleth was added as the last one, but now there are SIX new DLC slots. Me thinks Nintendo pulled string and told Sakurai to add the new FE character much like how Corrin was added to the last one via DLC and as compensation was given an extra slot.
 
When you look at it that way, it makes some sense.

@Cyborg_pony  
Corrin is one of my fave SSB fighters, tho I’m not much of a player.

@Cyborg_pony  
Yes yes now, add doom slayer.

@Mikey  
I want Bubble Bobble in SSB.
 
@Cyborg_pony  
It’s also kinda a tradition to add new FE characters to promote the newest game.
 
In fact, back when Marth & Roy were added to SSB Melee, Roy was the newest FE hero, (while Marth was the first) so new, in fact, his GBA game wasn’t even out yet in Japan when Melee came out.
 
Though, Fire Emblem isn’t the only series that does this. Like How Ness & Lucus represent the old & new EarthBound games, Villager & Isabelle represent the newer & older Animal Crossing games, (Sakurai said this is why they didn’t update Villager’s look to be in taller like the newer AC games, and Isabelle kinda already sports that taller AC design) while Simon & Richter Belmont represent the newer & older Castlevania games.  
Not to mention, now all the Zelda characters are from the different Zelda generations, and not just the newest game designs. I like that idea, as it’s nice to have the original Ganondorf OOT design, and Zelda’s new “Link Between Worlds” look is so cheerful, and adorable. (As opposed to the old, pale, never-smiling emo Zeldas we got in the SSB series.)

My only hopes for Smash is Hallow Knight as a Mii costume.
 
Wanting him as a fighter is too far fetched. Hornet could also contend for being an assist trophey.

Nexomon: Extinction is coming to the Switch sometime this year

MvCI online is legitimately dead right now.

Think I found the quote that makes me dread playing Oblivion:  

@Meanlucario  
I imagine there’s more than a few mods that balance the gameplay so that doesn’t happen.

@Silent_Witness  
If you need mods to beat a game…

@Meanlucario  
If you aren’t modding a Bethesda game to the point that you can’t recognize what it was to begin with, are you really playing it?

@Silent_Witness  
That sounds like the problem.
