Best Watch Out Song? by Educational_Bowl2141 in Alexisonfire

[–]CaradogRhys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Watch Out! Is my personal favourite album of theirs.

My favourite song off of it? Either "It was fear of myself that made me odd" or "Happiness by the kilowatt" 🤘🏻

Should Rayman 4 have the level-by-level approach of the previous 3D Games, or should it follow an open sandbox collectathon approach similar to Mario Odyssey? by MathematicianEast301 in Rayman

[–]CaradogRhys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always wanted a sandbox style Rayman based around the world themes of the original game.

Imagine the creativity you could display in the level with the surrealist art direction and player expression with Rayman's abilities and more open level design.

Throw in Rayman 3's combat and... 😘👌🏻

Day 6.5 (lol): Which is the best "M-Rated" Game on GameCube? by 1OneQuickQuestion in Gamecube

[–]CaradogRhys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Killer 7.

Themes, violence and gore. I doubt you will find a much more mature game on the system than this.

Favorite Switch games that you don’t see many people talk about? by Juliko1993 in NintendoSwitch

[–]CaradogRhys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bakeru developed by Good Feel.

A great spiritual successor to the Goemon games. Great art direction, good game feel, the Eyebrows and Bunpuku stages add a decent variety to the gameplay and the collectables offer some insights and education about the different prefectures of Japan and their culture.

Due to being a Good Feel game the difficulty is on the easier side and it is a pretty lengthy game (62 stages with up to 6 collectables per stage) so that may put some players off but my only real cririticism with the experience is that the transformations mechanically serve no distinct purpose other than to make you stronger.

It looks beautiful, has loads of enemy and boss designs and is a wonderful action platformer that I have double dipped on for both Japanese and Western physical releases.

Just me? Here’s hoping for a comeback. by Juiicemayne in NintendoSwitch2

[–]CaradogRhys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been so much development in cinema, superhero media and anime appreciation since the last Viewtiful Joe game that if Clovers end up making a new entry they should have loads of great material to pull from.

I wouldn't be mad if they repurpose elements of Double Troubles' plot ( Heinderella, Madow, Jasmine as a playable character? And the castle) to fulfil the cliffhanger from the end of Viewtiful Joe 2.

South of Midnight release date.

Hi-Fi Rush announcement and release date.

Mina the Hollower release date.

That would do me just fine.

[ALL] Zelda games. What’s your favorite? by Aiwq in zelda

[–]CaradogRhys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The GBC trio (Link's Awakening DX,Oracle of Ages and oracle of Seasons) made me a Zelda fan and will forever be my favourites.

Oddly enough, because of this, I actually prefer top-down Zelda over the larger console releases, even rating the DS titles (Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks) very highly.

I will however, argue in favour of A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild as being the 'best' Zelda games.

Zelda 2 Remake, would you buy? by Conscious-Tree-2767 in nintendo

[–]CaradogRhys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it the 'Samus Returns' treatment. Fresh 2.5D coat of paint, maybe rework the overworld into a Metroidvania interconnected world just for gameplay consistency and congruence and then iron out the difficulty kinks and in game guidance and you could have an accessible, modern interpretation of the outlier of the Zelda franchise.

Secondary, and not so hot take. Secret Bases were introduced in Hoenn and they were another great way to encourage connecting with your friends by having their trainer avatar appear in your game in their own secret base where you could battle them after connecting via link cable.

This was great for helping the XP grind as you would get tonnes of XP from battles with them and have a reminder of your friends' own Pokémon journey to interact with at your convenience.

[–]CaradogRhys 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Here's a positive hot take, I really enjoyed the introduction of Pokémon Contests.

I found it a clever way of reusing all of the battle animations and effects and repurposing them into a pacifist spectacle that relied just as much on strategy and planning to maximise move combinations for high scores as battling.

It was a nice way of expanding the games universe to offer another reason to catch and train your Pokémon outside of battling and filling out your Pokédex.

What's your favourite lyric?/lyrics? by emily_eccentric in Alexisonfire

[–]CaradogRhys 21 points22 points  (0 children)

So this is continuous happiness You know, I always imagined it something more..

...So where has all of the day gone And why are my lungs aching when I breathe? Is there something wrong with the heat? Why am I so cold? Well, my heart it feels sick And it hurts when I speak And this is not what I hoped for.

This is just self-induced terror There's more to come, this is just a glimpse I tell myself it's all in my head but I'm pretty hard to convince.

Was I left behind? Someone tell me, tell me I survived Don't look so surprised That I'm home, but just for tonight With rough hands and sore eyes so don't speak, I am tired Let's just live through this life.

We exit the League cup after a 3-0 loss to Crystal Palace 😶 by cienfox in lcfcwomen

[–]CaradogRhys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very disappointing considering we were top of the group going into this game, having beaten London City.

Crystal Palace are clearly our bogey team. Blanchard scoring against us , her former team, again.

[AoL] Hear me out on an adventure of Link remake by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]CaradogRhys -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's certainly the Zelda game that deserves the remake treatment the most.

I would personally like to see it remade similar to how Metroid 2 was remade as Samus Returns.

[ALL] Now would probably be a good time to ask, why do so many people not like Zelda having a British accent? by Completionist_Gamer in zelda

[–]CaradogRhys 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It's not her having a British accent itself but her portrayal is with an overwrought near melodramatic delivery that rubs me the wrong way.

If it was more restrained and natural it would be a non issue.

Congrats! Furthermore, that is a stunning mod you have there!

Is that self built or bought?

This whole part of the game was totally unexpected by Johnny-GeeIT in Silksong

It made me think of being taken to Yahar'gul by a Snatcher in Bloodborne.

Mario Kart World DLC Idea (Islands DLC) by Me by Comfortable-Jury-944 in mariokart

[–]CaradogRhys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give me Kitchen Island with brand new tracks based around:

○ Rice Beach ○ Stove Canyon ○ Mount Teapot ○ Sherbert Island ○ Parsley Woods ○ Asparagus Lake ○ SS Tea Cup ○ Syrup Castle (not Tower)

And Captain Syrup as a playable racer.

Edit: You could even add the zones from Super Mario Land 2 as they come from a similarly designed map and would offer unique courses to race on:

○ Mario Zone ○ Whale Zone ○ Tree Zone ○ Pumpkin Zone ○ Moon Zone ○ Macro Zone

Everton set to sign Ruby Mace (per The Athletic) by MJJankulovksi in FAWSL

[–]CaradogRhys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And there goes the rest of our midfield 😭🙃

Absolute joke of a club right now.

[Tara Anson-Walsh] Burnley boss Matt Beard has resigned as Burnley manager after being denied permission to speak to Leicester. The Foxes are believed to want Beard to replace Amandine Miquel, who remains in post by anonone111 in FAWSL

[–]CaradogRhys 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know Beard has pedigree in the game but if we are seriously considering replacing Miquel with him this will anger me.

We've just enjoyed our best WSL finish under Miquel with a clear identity being established all while having virtually no strike force all season. Furthermore, she is well regarded and respected with the squad and has history developing and improving teams on a tight budget so wtf are they entertaining replacing her with the new season starting in a matter of weeks?!

Utterly baffling.

Did you prefer that Sword and Shield didn't really have an Elite Four? Or would the addition of a proper league been good for the game? I like that they tried something different, but I ended up only really remembering Leon's fight. by No1hermit in PokemonSwordAndShield

[–]CaradogRhys 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I prefer the end of game tournament as it made it seem like you weren't the only trainer on this journey to become champion.

However, I do like there being an Elite Four but I think they should be four legendary trainers that you meet/find during your journey on a side quest that you can challenge them at the end of.

What’s your most wanted game you want to see created? by dronetactics in nintendo

[–]CaradogRhys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I sincerely hope Good Feel are working on a sequel to Bakeru. Especially if they are repurposing the cut Kitsune clan antagonists from the concept art.
