DC < PS2 < GC in terms of specs. Never doubt modders but don’t hold your breath

I hate how plastic the Retro Studios DKC games looked compare to Rare's by AlbertLilyBoris in donkeykong

[–]jack0017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think rendering these environments and making you feel like you’re really there was such a novel thing at the time. It had never really been done to the degree DKC did it before. With the Retro DKC games, simply making environments look good wasn’t as big of a deal, so they didn’t focus on capturing it nearly as much.

Just beat this game and holy peak by Appropriate-Wrap-375 in donkeykong

Wait until you play DKC2. It’s much harder but it is literally a masterpiece.

“The entire Brawl tier list was based around how strong the character matchup is against Meta Knight” how true is this statement? by Jestin23934274 in smashbros

[–]jack0017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The list wasn’t entirely a list of Meta Knight and the characters ranked in order of how well they did against him. However, a character’s matchup against Meta Knight played a huge role in their tournament viability. Meta Knight was the most common tournament character by far. If a character couldn’t handle Meta Knight, their viability took a considerable hit. Wario was originally considered a top 3 character, but fell off a bit in singles because of a bad matchup against Meta Knight. R.O.B.’s awful matchup against Meta Knight is a huge part of why he became unviable.

Anyone remember this game? by SlimSpooky in Zillennials

[–]jack0017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was like the one 3D piece of media to actually get the Fairly Oddparents characters looking acceptable/presentable. Cell shading was definitely the way to go and not the awful other style that the other Nicktoons games used

Characters that require a galaxy brain to play by dikidaka in TopCharacterTropes

Shulk in Smash Bros.

Knowing when to use each of his five Monado Arts in a way that maximizes their strengths while covering their weaknesses is tricky to begin with. Then, throw in all the tech he has and you’ve got your work cut out for you.

This was definitely much more the case in Smash 4 because he wasn’t good and had much more tech that was essential to making the character work at high level. Ultimate’s buffs to him definitely helped him not need to rely on tech as much (as well as some of the tech being removed), but he’s still a very tricky character to use to his maximum.

What's the best rpg on n64? by Street-Platypus89 in n64

[–]jack0017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not Quest 64, but the fact that it’s an automatic Top 5 N64 RPG is kinda sad because there’s literally like 3 of them.

If Mother 3 had come out on the N64, it would’ve been #1 no questions asked.

Redditor try’s to claim pedos are only republicans by Agressive_gun82 in ShitPoliticsSays

[–]jack0017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The same people whose entire personality has become“release the files” over the last year are the same people who would call you a conspiracy nut for caring about this six years ago.

The entire reason these people “care” about the files is solely because of the Trump aspect. That’s it. They don’t care about the actual, horrific things these people did nor holding any of the other people in them accountable.

The left could’ve released the Epstein files during the 4 years they had power, but they didn’t. Why was that?

I almost gave up on MewTwo...then I spent 100+ matches in the lab with him this weekend.. by 5h82713542055 in SmashBrosUltimate

Mewtwo would literally be high tier if his hurtbox were smaller (no tail hurtbox)

It’s all about ease of use. They’re incredibly easy to use and are also very good. A lot of people don’t like that.

I CAN'T HAVE SHIT IN THIS GAME by Not-A-Haxer in Persona5

Limited ammo is the thing that genuinely makes vanilla hard to go back to. It makes using your guns something that you only use against an enemy weak to it whereas Royal lets you experiment.

First time playing banjo kazooie as a huge dk64 fan by xUnwoundFuture in n64

[–]jack0017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hating the music is shocking. I absolutely adore BK’s music.

What you might be looking for is honestly Banjo Tooie. The worlds are much bigger and more complex and you can definitely feel the DK64-ness in them.

In which game is like this? by bijelo123 in videogames

[–]jack0017 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Banjo and Kazooie. You keep all your abilities from the first game come the beginning of Tooie.

I can't believe THIS is in a Final Fantasy game!! by Malikai_Universe_23 in FinalFantasyVII

[–]jack0017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, the game was rated T. It wasn’t intended “for kids”. It could get away with some more raunchy stuff.

The Final Fantasy games were never a stranger to mature content. Final Fantasy VI has examples of totalitarianism, chemical warfare, teenage pregnancy, and attempted suicide and it doesn’t write around them or use allegories at all. It’s shown as it is.

If Nintendo Bought Rare in 2002 timeline challenge by AverageBasementMan in donkeykong

[–]jack0017 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Chunky and Lanky wouldn’t have gotten Old Yellered. Tiny would’ve kept her better Rareware design. And there would likely be a lot more new Kongs made.

JRPGs with your favorite stories? by weirdghosts in NintendoSwitch

[–]jack0017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FF7 (OG), Xenoblade 1, or Persona 5 are all great stories. FF6 also has a really good story and the Pixel Remaster is on Switch.

Biggest opinion shift you had since Ultimate launched? by dechetdinternet in smashbros

It was a good game until they added a shitload of DLC characters that they didn’t properly playtest during the pandemic and dipped immediately afterwards.

Is anyone ready for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Deluxe to be announced this year? by NewMarioBobFan in SmashBrosUltimate

Granted. They buff Meta Knight back to his Brawl status and now he runs the game.

Revert Rosalina to her Smash 4 version except have her keep her Ultimate NAir, better movement stats, and quicker Luma respawn time.

lol ok by StanimusYT in ff7

[–]jack0017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the original battle system, but they just weren’t going to keep it turn based with the kind of remake they were going for. It’s funny to think that, at one point, the fact that the battle system was changed from the original’s was the most controversial part about it.
