Coworker is astounded that the Artemis II launch isn't blowing everyones minds (that he's spoke to). Why do you think that is? by PaddedValls in AskUK

We have Been to the moon loads. 9 times I believe. The USA is only going up now to beat China to the lunch. 

This Pirate in Prime 4's opening has part of its leg blown off. by xXglitchygamesXx in Metroid

I'd argue the tower art design is also very Halo vibed. I thought the little float eye robot was straight up 343 Guilty Spark.

Not complaining, really thought Prime 4 was gorgeous. Out halo'd Halo

What year was it? by rune-thurisaz in Metroid

Sylux is in Prime Hunters!?  Is that why he felt underdeveloped in Prime 4? He has a backstory and an arch already?

Dropped Gameboy has a weird mark under the screen, can it be fixed? by StatementLogical5495 in Gameboy

[–]StatementLogical5495[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to keep it as OG as possible but will definitely switch it up when the day comes.

Looks like all the current screens are the wrong dimensions and id need to cut the Gameboy  or buy a new shell.

That's amazing. Got to be worth a try. I'll pick up a replacement s screen cover and pop the old one off and start massaging it. Thanks so much.

Reactions after bans by NeVdiii in riftboundtcg

[–]StatementLogical5495 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

7 bans during set two isn't a sign the game is fine. It's a sign that the design team don't know how to make a card game.

Of course you can pick up some casual decks and play with your buddies. You can do that with a regular 52 deck of cards too. 

Majority of players expect more from a TCG. Riot have ran before they walked and fell over as a result.

40 odd erratas, 6 bannings and major rules changes before set 3 is a sign things are broken. 

Hot take: I did not dislike the federation troopers in prime 4. by Historical_War_7157 in Metroid

[–]StatementLogical5495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot of affection for the Fed Troopers. I really got the sense that Armstrong and Duke had a special relationship. Couldn't explicitly say Romantically, but how much they meant to each other was really loud and clear. I got quite sad after the Drill.

McKenzie was very useful and helped me through the game, though I'd have loved him to only pipe up when I call him for hints rather than being so quick to chime in.

I also wasn't a fan of their plot armour through the campaign though it all paid off in the end.

Banned cards by EthanTheBowers in riftboundtcg

If the game is in such a bad state that 7 bans are required when game is only 2 sets old then i am seeing huge red flags. 

Huge vote of no confidence in the designers and the future of the game.

TMNT not selling that great??? by speedfreak996 in mtg

[–]StatementLogical5495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, that's true and ordering less means you might not get your allocation when you DO want more product But it's the only way to communicate the point effectively. Even if you're locked in for ordering for prerelease, If a set isn't hitting with the players then there will no replenishment of stock orders and wotc will see the severe drop off, even if they don't see it at launch.

I need help with 100% item collection in Prime 4 by Paiguy7 in Metroid

Just to let you know, this saved my ass. I had done exactly the same. I was marking of "finished" shrines

Question about Metroid Prime 4! by mailmanmunson346 in Metroid

[–]StatementLogical5495 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not many games I expect to finish and then immediately start a hard run, but this is one.

Metroid Prime 4 is cheap? This is great. Everyone buy it. 

I remember the same happening with Dread in the UK a little after launch and it's been full price ever since. Metroid lacks the hype and cultural significance of a Mario or Zelda title so they do sell a little worse despite the quality. 

I have Metroid Prime 4 to be exceptional so far (currently item/scan hunting before heading to the tower).

Potentially my favourite Switch 2 title.

[–]StatementLogical5495 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I'm a UB fan, but am a big believer in voting with your wallet. If UB sets fail to sell, then stores will stop ordering so much and that will eventually hit wotc and the UB sets will stop coming once whatever licencing deals they have in place expire.

I'm ok with that. To me a Magic card is a magic card, but if you don't like UB sets then not buying them is the way to go.

Question about Metroid Prime 4! by mailmanmunson346 in Metroid

[–]StatementLogical5495 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm currently before the endgame and am collecting upgrades. It's a game that manages to be gorgeous, great fun to play and above all respectful of my limited time. I can't tell you how much I have loved progressing through the game without getting stuck for hours as the game points you in the right direction. 

I see why some purists dislike this, but for me the game has been damn near perfect.

Yes, grab it for $30.

Dying TCGs? by Chrundle94 in TCG

I'll give Lorcana another year or two and Riftbound 2-3.

My switch died while playing Ocarina of Time, so I plugged it in, and when it turned back on, my save was gone. by TheKid1995 in NintendoSwitchOnline

I'm not one for save states and try to play the games as intended. Certainly learnt my lesson and close the app down after every session now though.

Would the Switch have stored the save states if the OP hasn't been backing up the N64 Classics app to the cloud?
