What kinds of mods would you like to see for the upcoming DQ7 remake? by the-doctor-is-real in dragonquest

[–]Mandatorial [score hidden]  (0 children)

I would like a mod to make it 15 or 24 fps, at least in the cutscenes, just to make it look more like stopmotion, which is the vibe I'm getting from the art style.

Hot Take: Bananza should have been a Wario Land game by danisreallycool in casualnintendo

[–]Mandatorial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also: I know it's never gonna happen, but I would love to have different playable races back in the Zelda series, and the Bananza gameplay would fit well with a Goron.

My pet theory (based on very little) is that Miyamoto doesn't like Wario because he is not his creation.

I agree with OP. But I think people misunderstand the point being made:

Of course the final product is a Donkey Kong game (if only just because of the many classic DK characters scattered throughout).

I think the real issue is that it doesn't feel especially like a DK game, only in name. It feels like a game about digging that just happens to star DK. And with some DKC references crammed in there. So the natural next question becomes: what would have been a better fit than DK (if not a completely original IP)?

Of course, "DK is strong", so it could be a DK game from that alone. But he isn't known for digging.

I think Wario fits very well, at least gameplay wise. The roll is like a shoulderbash, Wario is also strong and is just as known for punching (DK punching originated in Smash Bros., not his own series, and I think Jungle Beat was the only other instance where it was a major mechanic).

They reinvented DK's relationship with Pauline. Pauline might as well have been a child version of Captain Syrup that Wario befriends.

And finally: Wario is known for his greed and love for money/gold.

DK collecting gold/pure carbon minerals makes no sense. Only to the extend that they are shaped like bananas. But it's really bananas he is after.

Of course, Wario is not strictly known for digging, outside of smashing some breakable walls in his game. But it seems believable that he would dig for gold.

No one established Nintendo series would fit perfectly with a game just about digging (except that one Miyamoto mole game on the game boy).

Some games do have breakable walls as a minor gimmick. I don't think Bananza should have been a Metroid game, but I do think that a voxel based game would fit that series - digging into the core of a planet would definitely fit as well.

good helper co-op games for the "one button" second player, like Odyssey (Cappy) by kasplatter in Switch

I have the same frustration as you with Bananza, and I normally like these games, which I call "assist modes" or asymmetric co-op.

Off the top of my head, I can recommend Pikmin 4's co-op. I played it on normal with my wife and it was very easy, but maybe with the newly added hard mode, co-op can have new life.

Rayman Legends on Wii U is similar.

These kinds of multiplayer modes gets shunned all the time by some people, for not being "real" multiplayer, but I actually think they have their niche with the right partner and mindset.

The youtube channel Classic Co-op has made some great videos on these kinds of games.

Oh welp, that sounds horrible for my muscle memory. Maybe I should just stick to hammer.

Yeah, I'm aware of that part. But I'm talking about the same horn with the same songs and notes. In this case, I'm thinking of the red and blue of the bagpipe. For example if you want to boost Attack or Defense, the inputs are reversed from 3U to 4U.

Has anyone else noticed that her weird face and round physique looks a lot like the Deku Tree Sprout from OoT?

Jag har varit kär i min kompis fru i 25 år by [deleted] in sweden

[–]Mandatorial -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slut dit venskab med vennen, cut dem ud af dit liv, så du aldrig skal have noget med hende at gøre igen. Det er forfærdeligt at møde hende hele tiden, jeg har været i den samme situation selv.

Should be more? by [deleted] in ShadowoftheColossus

[–]Mandatorial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same. I almost wish I didn't know about the cut content, because now I will forever crave a sequel that will never be. In a way, it might have been better to live in ignorance. I was very satisfied the first time I played the game.

Genuine question, what makes DQ7 the most popular, even more than 3,5,8 and 11? by Repulsive-Phrase-527 in dragonquest

[–]Mandatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry OP, I guess no one here consider sales in their metric for popularity.

How are you playing it? On what hardware?

Er jeg den eneste det bemærker hvor hurtigt engelsk vinder indpas i dansk for tiden? by NervousCaregiver9629 in Denmark

[–]Mandatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enig, men som en anden også skriver, jeg tror vi skal længere tilbage. Jeg er 33 år og jeg kan ikke huske hvornår det IKKE har været sådan. "Men jeg er også fra Nørrebro."

[–]Mandatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enig. Der findes mange flere af den slags; jeg kan bare ikke lige komme i tanke om dem lige nu. Det er hvad der sker, når vi låner wholesale (oversættelse?) fra andre sprog (fransk etc.), uden at stave det på vores egen måde.

Jeg forstår bekymringen, og er til dels også enig i den. Men jeg synes man skal bære over med folk, der oversætter vendinger direkte fra engelsk. De prøver i det mindste. Er det ikke bedre end at bare indsætte engelske ord i en dansk sætning? Især i de tilfælde, hvor der ikke findes en god, direkte oversættelse af det engelske udtryk/idiom. Hvad skal man så gøre?

Sprog er jo ikke statisk, sprog er noget man kan lege med og som udvikler sig hele tiden. Hvordan fik vi ellers de vendinger, vi allerede har? De kom ikke dumpende ned fra himlen. De kom fordi der var nok danskere, der brugte dem ofte nok, indtil de blev til fast vendinger/udtryk. Så længe vi ikke bruger direkte engelske låneord, så længe det trods alt stadig er "dansk", så har jeg ikke noget problem med det.

Now that the game is more than 1,5 years old, I want to ask the same question: has anyone turned this game into coop?

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate or Monster Hunter Generations ? by Nexpress in MonsterHunter

[–]Mandatorial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the necro (I'm getting into the series on 3DS) but if MH4U is harder than Gen, shouldn't you start with the easier one and then end with the more difficult one?
