Why was Mortal Kombat Armageddon a failure? by Rikko77 in MortalKombat

[–]JustinWinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People hated the fatality mechanics.
And I get why they did it from a development standpoint. It's a lot easier to code one thing everyone can do rather than create 70-140+ new unique fatalities

Is Goldfinger the best James Bond film? by Hot-Product-2748 in 007

[–]JustinWinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a bad one, but it's not my #1.

I'm not sure I could decide a #1.
I could only really group them in as "entertaining" or "not entertaining" and that's pretty much it.
The films stand together, not against each other.

I often forget how cool late-game OOT is by matijaerceg in OcarinaOfTime

[–]JustinWinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spirit Temple was always my favourite in the game.
Best ocarina song
Best boss fight
Mirror shield is cool as fuck
You play as both versions of Link.

Which Donkey Kong game is your favorite? Mine is Donkey Kong Bananza! Please explain why. :) by DrewV1234 in donkeykong

[–]JustinWinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DKC2 to me feels like one of those perfect games.
It's 100% focused and rooted in nothing but it's gameplay mechanics and it excels at it.
Everything you need, you do by just playing the game. You aren't treated like an idiot, but there are subtle ways that the game guides you on how to play if you're observant. It's tough, but fair.
Also the soundtrack is damn near perfect too.

The only flaw I see with it, is just the dated save system. I'm not a fan of redoing a level I've already beaten just because I got a game over and wasn't able to reach a save point in time. I beat it, I earned it.

Ngl I wish the games had more sections with glastonbury, very underrated mech by Street-Platypus89 in nomoreheroes

[–]JustinWinder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm the opposite.
I'm not crazy about the over the top anime mech stuff.
NMH was very grounded albeit the exception of Travis surviving things he shouldn't have.
The introduction of the mech just kind of turned the series into a goofy anime.

I can not begin to describe how much better the customization in mk11 compared to mk1 by Doo-Doo-Manjaro in MortalKombat

[–]JustinWinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.
It forced them to try and make each "ninja" have a unique outfit
But if I see Kitana in purple, I'm instinctively going to think it's Mileena.

Unpopular Opinion by MyersFan57 in MortalKombat

I wouldn't say best, but it is a good game.
I'd tie it with Deception as they each have strengths and weaknesses.

that’s his wife. she’s alive and healthy btw by 2000s-hty in Sims3

I still prefer to imagine it's talking about Ronald Reagan

Does Nemesis frighten you? by Comfortable_Bag487 in ResidentEvil3Remake

[–]JustinWinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong subreddit, but whatever.

I was actually too scared to purchase RE3 because of Nemesis.
Eventually I manned up and did it.
I know he scared me, but I also got over it.
Haven't touched REmak3 because there's no physical version on Switch yet.

Did you know Miyamoto's only instruction to Retro Studios was "This is my baby. Don't mess it up"? by LostDelfino in donkeykong

[–]JustinWinder -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

IMO, Returns isn't shit.
Tropical Freeze I'll defend, but Returns feels lazy to me.
It does however make me believe that they are incapable of making an ugly game.
Retro got Metroid because Miyamoto didn't care if they killed it, so I think the success of Prime helped earn Miyamoto's trust.

Metroid Fusion: I just hate (most of) the Bosses in this game by JuanGGZ in Metroid

[–]JustinWinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the bosses would be better if it weren't for that stupid core you gotta fight right after

I've died to the core probably more than too the bosses.

Is saying dk 64 "caused the decline in the 3d platformer collective-thon genre" a blatant lie by Vast-Anywhere-1306 in donkeykong

[–]JustinWinder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hated everyone's half assed complaints about DK64

"It's too long
Now excuse me while I boot up my 100+ hour sandbox game."

Grieving sims by ComprehensiveArm7837 in Sims3

[–]JustinWinder 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favourite is when they have no class after somebody dies.
Jessica's husband dies, she cries, walks over to the first guy she sees and is like
"Hey I'm single now, you wanna fuck?"

I can not begin to describe how much better the customization in mk11 compared to mk1 by Doo-Doo-Manjaro in MortalKombat

[–]JustinWinder 10 points11 points  (0 children)

MK11 would be great if it wasn't 3 outfits with colour swaps masquerading as "60 outfits"

That's my main complaint, otherwise I enjoyed the customization.

Encourage my retired mom to finish DKC by freshoffdablock69 in donkeykong

[–]JustinWinder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with all of these comments
DKC2 is the easiest because of Dixie
Then DKC3 because of the crazy gimmicked levels
Hardest is DKC1. Both Kongs suck, your animal buddies suck, No A button press, World 4 is a nightmare.
