No, no, that's Durango. PS4 might have always-on DRM and anti-used games, but the rumors were mostly surrounding Microsoft.
And it's on sale!Half Life 1 is amazing guysIt does starts off really slow though.
Pretty much.
Super Paper Mario is too text heavy for the type of game it is. And the gameplay is bad.
Paper Mario Sticker Star is too little text for the type of game it is. The gameplay is good.
I never grew up with Mega Man and yet Mega Man 2 is somehow my favorite. Oh and I'm not the kind of person to bandwagon for the sake of it on praises either.

Freedom Planet Kickstarter: $25,472 pledged of $2,000 goal.
That's, like, 1,273.6% of what they set out for.

Mega Man 2 you say?
Scuse me but it seems I have a fever, and the only prescription, is to boogey down.

I should clarify I brought up MM2 because I just got the 3DS VC version. I've never played the proper version, only the shitty slower PAL version, so I get to experience the true rage-inducing capabilities of vanishing blocks for the first time. Well, the first time since MM9.
The music is so fucking good.

Aw man, I was finding all the Wii U sales stuff hilarious but now you've made me super bummed out about the Wii U horse.
Oh snap.
I think it's a fucking cop out that they are calling this the year of Luigi and there is only one new Luigi game and one piece of DLC featuring Luigi and the other two are straight up Mario games.
It's like Sega releasing Tails Skypatrol 2, adding Tails DLC for Sonic Generations, releasing two new Sonic games with Tails in his standard role and then saying it's the "year of Tails".
In speaking of Mega Man, just finished Mega Man III for the Gameboy. That's 3 games down... I'm still in the Mega Man mood so I'll try out Mega Man IV next! It's the only one (aside from the first one) I haven't beaten in the Gameboy series.
That Mario & Luigi game focuses on Luigi's dreams though.

Considering about 80% of the GBA's library was SNES ports, they could kill two birds with one stone!

Maybe Konami'll do something remotely competent for once this past generation and put the Super Bomberman games on the eShop.

I've always been meaning to write something up for that They Call Me Sonic album, but I always get sidetracked and forget to do it.
I will do it because that album is bananas.

More like Knuckles.
And wtf is with that soccer ball? They use a pentagon/hexagon mixture, do they not? Not squares. You can't perfectly cover a sphere in squares, from what I remember of non-Euclidean geometry.
TV-CD? Tokyo Ghetto Pussy?

The Metal Sonic theme from Sonic 4 is one of the best songs ever

They should've used Look Alike for Generations.

That song doesn't make a lot of sense.
Why would Sonic ride a bike on a Sunday, anyway? And recite the alphabet?

To get to the racetrack where his car is waiting.
I really like Metal Sonic's theme from Sonic 4 Ep 2 but it wouldn't fit at all in Generations. I don't get the guy's outrage, it doesn't even work in the game's context.
EDIT: Oh wait, I guess he wanted that as an unlockable song? But Episode 2 came out after Generations. so wtf?
Also...a really underrated boss fight from the modern games IMO:
Good music too
This felt like something that could have been in S1-3K at the time to me.

That boss fight was pretty cool, the music is also great and I always associate it with GET A LOAD OF THIS!

I remember when I had that urge after SMG2, it was a cruel awakening.
Actually, I think I'm one of the few who absolutely adored Sunshine. Most creative locale idea in a 3D Mario game imo.
The Galaxies still reign supreme though.
I think that there's enough good stuff in Sunshine for it to warrant at least one playthrough, particularly if you prefer more open-ended platformer level design (personally, I much prefer the linear Galaxy style). Compared to the stronger entries in the franchise, though, significant chunks of the game fall flat. It's kind of telling that almost everyone's favorite portions of the game are the ones where you are F.L.U.D.D.-less.

I went back and played a little bit of Sunshine a few months ago and it's honestly not the worst Mario game in the world but it's definitely very awkward and kind of rushed feeling, the biggest offense being that you often repeat the same mission objectives over, and over, and over again. More than half that game is recycled content.
The second biggest offense is that there's very little incentive to explore but you're still provided with these big levels that seem like they're encouraging exploration.
It sometimes feels like they didn't know what they wanted the game to be.

Yeah, especially after playing the demo it seemed fine. I can easily see myself enjoying it, but maybe not as much as 64/Galaxy.
It's not as good as either of those, and it's easily my least favorite 3D Mario, but it definitely has its moments and is far from "awful." It's worth playing.

This is definitely the worst part of the game.Fuck Mario Sunshine.
However, I thought the rest of the game felt fine. My only gripe was that, my first time playing it back in 2002, it didn't really feel like Mario. I mean, Mario was there, he was nearly as acrobatic as ever, but most of the characters and enemies I was facing were totally new creations, so there wasn't as much familiarity as I would've liked. That said, I thought it was an excellent platformer, and that FLUDD complimented the wall-jumping acrobatics fairly well in its own way, making it a lot more forgiving.
What gets me is that when they showed it off on Extended Play (pretty sure this was before the name change to X-Play), it was clearly 60FPS; and yet, when the game releases, it's 30. A tad disappointing! At least Galaxy rectified this.
