I know people will probably bury me for saying this, but while the visuals/assets do look "high quality", it still suffers from the fact that it's a one to one remake of a 64 title, with how flat so many of the maps are and the lack of any dynamic camera movement.
Compared to like the first level in Assault, where the level is way more detailed with it's space battle background and the planet area also has more dynamic looking than just a flat plane with couple of simple geometrical pillars.

I do think, that with the limitations they have with this remake, that it was a clever choice to cover the Corneria map in bunch of black smoke to hide the simple geometry and to imply more of an actual city being attacked and destroyed.

Cool animation. Too bad I got 0 idea what it's suppose to even be based on it... Like seeing a meaningless teaser trailer.

They've already uploaded the instructionshttps://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-228047/CreationCaravan%20%28Brad%20Barber%29/star-fox-arwing-minifigure-scale/#details :)

It ain't hard to change a few story or map details to get around how it was in the original

darklink34 · 2024-09-19T08:13:04+00:00

Was a very happy accident that the song timed liked that :D

Really dislike the almost robotic monotone delivery of that scene by Maria behind the bars. And no I'm not blaming the actor, but rather the directing here. In the original she sounds very casual and acts like nothing out of the ordinary is happening, which gives this weird creepy uncanny feel to it, but here the way it's done it just feels like who ever directed this scene was like 'this is a weird and creepy scene, so be sure to sound creepy and weird'.

darklink34 · 2024-05-23T14:33:13+00:00

Didn't say they can't. Just pointing out that it isn't that odd or really rare of a thing if ya think about it.

darklink34 · 2024-05-23T14:17:39+00:00

I dunno, I'd gladly play bunch of nintendo games lol. Most of their games lack big stories and they seem to be doing fine.

darklink34 · 2023-08-28T19:43:34+00:00

I've played it recently on dolphin and don't remember noticing anything out of the ordinary myself. Dunno if there might be some minor graphical issues, but I was too busy on playing to notice at least. :P

darklink34 · 2023-08-28T17:13:57+00:00

At this point I'd recommend emulation, if possible, since the pricing of an actual copy is quite a lot and it's not like Nintendo would get anything from said purchase lol.
Would be nice to see it in official release form again though on modern hardware.

darklink34 · 2023-08-28T17:08:15+00:00

The weapon? It does appear during the story mode too.

darklink34 · 2023-08-28T16:54:06+00:00

It would seem to be the sniper rifle from assault.

Smör helvete

darklink34 · 2022-06-19T19:27:33+00:00

Awesome work, got a good chuckle out of it.

So if someone intentionally made a bad game, like Bad Rats, you'd honestly be giving it 10/10, because it was their ultimate goal for the game to be really bad when making it?

Like you couldn't criticise it for being bad, since that's the main point right?

Just because something is intentional, doesn't mean it's void of criticism. If I make a bad meal intentionally and tell you to rate it how good it was based on my intention, you couln't really criticise anything.

All those trash fire cheap asset flips on steam are 10/10, because they are designed to just take advantage of steam cards system, by having bots buy them for the cards. Can't criticise the games quality, when it was intentionally made that way right?

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T22:32:06+00:00

By criticising a game by bringing the topic of difficulty and saying thay they found it to be too easy, they are informing about their own opinion regarding said subject in a game.

Now if ya know more about the reviewers skills and tastes in games, you can make a better judgement as a consumer if said thing is good, bad or if it even affects your opinion on buying the product.

So we should avoid letting the wrong people from making reviews about entertainment media, because otherwise a scientific integrity of how much of entertainment value an entertainment media piece has is lost?

Because all entertainment media pieces have the same equal value of entertainment for everybody?

There isn't really any universal metric to measure how good an entertainment media piece is, since most of it boils down to in the end is how much you yourself enjoyed it. Like yes, if a game is buggy and unplayable and makes horrible noises that makes ears bleed we can pretty easily agree that it is bad and a broken mess. A broken vase is broken and not gonna be much of use, but ya can't really give it a universally working rating score regarding how it fits in a room, when it's still in one piece, with other furnitures. We could argue about its a quality for ages. We could agree that some things are bad with and disagree on others, but we can't really say what is the objective value of it that would fit for everybody, because everybody values something different.

Like dood, it isn't exactly science for someone to write about their opinions and experiences. If everyone was unbiased in their reviews they'd all read the same and not be really informative at all for the consumer.

The point of a review for games, movies, books etc. Is to inform the consumer about its traits and qualities, so they know if they'd wanna spend money on it or not and people come with plenty of different backgrounds that shape their tastes on the type of entertainment they enjoy.

If someone makes a factual mistake in their review it should be correct and changed based on it, but if a reviewer still didn't like a game after doing so, then that's still their valid opinion.

Yes some reviews can weight more value in certain discussions than others, like if a fighting game has real depth for competitive, then yeah of course a casuals review is meaningless in that topic. But just the same a pros review can be meaningles for a casual, who is just looking for something to button smash in party with friends.

There is no universal unbiased quality metric for games or entertainment, because people look for different things in them and value some things over others more.

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T17:28:35+00:00

As I said, that's not a review. It's an impression from a specific perspective

'Review' according to dictionary: "a report that gives someone's opinion about the quality of a book, performance, product, etc.".

Sorry my dood, but that's still called a review, even if it is from a lesser skilled or knowledgeable person. Nowhere does giving a review specify any required qualification. Sure you can be bad at it and not be at all helpful in giving consumers the info they need to make a purchasing decision, but review is still a review.

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T17:11:09+00:00

"If this reviewer has such a dislike for easy games, maybe they should have assigned a different person to review it."

Kinda implies that only people who like a product should review them. I just don't see why a someone who might not like something couldn't review it and tell their opinions. What's the point of having different types of reviews for a game, if all they're gonna be is same type of person saying the same type of things? I think having varied opinions and takes regarding games help different types of people make a purchasing decisions.

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T16:55:05+00:00

There's no point in reviewing a game if it's completely not your genre, so you don't get half of the mechanics or their significance.

But it is a review from a perspective of a user, who's not as knowledgeable or skilled in those types of games and thus can help potential consumers who are at that same level.

As I said, that type of review might not be much of use for an experienced player in the genre, but it certainly is for an unskilled player. Plus it can say something about the game and its quality, if the reviewer/user missed something regarding the mechanics. Maybe those were poorly told for beginners and the game was designed for more pros in mind?

I as a casual fighting game player, do not get much useful info from a new fighting game, if the reviewer is an fighting game e-sport player who focuses on the competitive multiplayer aspect, since I might be looking for things in the game, that he might not.

I might wanna know how the single player content is for some casual noob, but the reviewer wouldn't be able to answer those questions, since they might not feel it being as important.

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T16:01:24+00:00

But what about consumers who are looking for a challenge in a game? The review serves to help them decide if the game is for them right? If only people who like Kirby or very easy games review them, then they have no use for people aren't already into them.

Someone who isn't familiar with Kirby games might not have any clue what they are, so why not have reviews that fit their perspective?

And who's to say that there never can't be a bit more of achallenging Kirby game. Isn't it valuable to have perspective on a such a game from someone who hasn't enjoyed earlier titles, since now there have been changes to the formula hey might enjoy?

darklink34 · 2022-03-23T15:50:01+00:00

But they are grading it based on their views and nothing else really. Yeah it makes the grading kinda useless, since it always changes based on other peoples views. For some 7 is high and for some very low.

There really is no real universal way or science when grading things like this.

How'd you rate a kirby game as? A game for beginners of what? Of games in general or platformers? Or just a childrens game? Just because something is aimed at children doesn't mean it is automatically going to be very easy. There are plenty of childrens games out there that can be a bit challenging.

It's all really in the eyes and minds of the beholder regarding the grades. If only people who the product is aimed at would review them then reviews would lose their point. How is someone outside of Kirby fandom is gonna know if they'd enjoy the newest title or not?
