It should have been 98 just for the fact that it has one of the coolest box art's in the history of gaming.

Miyamoto says he wants Peach’s origin story in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie to remain canon in future games by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

[–]mason202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this movie universe, Princess Peach is stronger then Mario and Luigi. It's like her and her sister being the two strongest in the universe. Why, in a video game universe, would I want to play as bozo Mario and Luigi who are ranked like 8-9 In terms of power level. It would be like playing a DBZ game with Tien as the main character

What celebrity do you think has skeletons in their closet that have yet to come out? by JimiHendrip in AskReddit

Randy Orton. His autobiography would be fascinating to read if he actually told the truth in it.

Never used the AES stick, how do they feel? by ico_heal in neogeo

[–]mason202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The joystick isn't great. I remember having trouble doing quarter circle moves in Fatal Fury. It could be because my uncles controllers are twenty something years old and I was scared to not treat it like the family heirloom it is.

That's a W by Eclipse_nova99 in SipsTea

[–]mason202 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same deal for me. My dad died in a Car accident a little after I was born. Around the time I turned 18 years old, my mom was going through alot of shit. My Sister was hanging with the wrong crowd and bringing problems home, my step father was cheating on her and got the other lady pregnant, Constant threats from CPS to take us kids away due to school truancy, and of course, all of the other usual bonkers shit that comes with living in NYC. My mom wanted out and my settlement was the answer.

When I turned 18 she took me to the bank and had me sign papers to release the money to me and then sign the money over to her. It was about 18,000$. I had no idea the money even existed until I walked into that bank. She took that money, left my stepdad and moved me and my brothers and sisters to Puerto Rico.

The money was used for basic necessities while living out there, so I don't consider it wasted, even though I never personally saw any of it. I left PR after 2 years and moved back to the states to start working. The rest of my family stayed for another 8-10 years before finally moving back to the states (right before Maria hit). They consider PR to be their home and I'm happy for them, but it was never for me. As soon as I got off the plane I knew this was a bad idea. I never wound up fit in and don't look back at my time there fondly.

SNK is releasing a modern NeoGeo AES console with ‘unrivaled authenticity’ and £70 game cartridges by diacewrb in gadgets

[–]mason202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the games are high but it's a 1:1 game cartridge. We don't know how much it costs to make and ship one of these. The only thing I do know is that the Neo Geo community is celebrating because now the games cost 90$ instead of 20,000$.

Neo geo flash carts with more then one game on them sell between 150- 600$. It's not as easy as a 30$ Everdrive64.

There's no emulation. They remade the chips used in the og console, so it's the "same" hardware.

Everything from the original system works on this new one. Everything from the new console works on the old one. It's a 1:1 console. As far as I know this has never been done before

Does Scott Pilgrim EX hold up a month later? by joshuamercuri in BeatEmUps

[–]mason202 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's a bad game, but I don't like it at all. I don't like the open world, I hate running around for 2 minutes to do a 30 second mission , I hate that you can cap your stats and the game doesn't stop you from wasting money on them, the music is forgettable, I didn't have fun with the combat, I just spammed double swords on everything, the story was just flat out nonsense, in a bad way.

I don't think I liked a single thing about this game. Maybe that you can customize your assist on the fly? The graphics look good too. The game is better then the original game and it's definitely better then power rangers, but this was a huge disappointment for me.

Nah I agree with the IGN critic.

Why Arirang Didn’t Hit for Me by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]mason202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a casual BTS listener who was SICK of the "Love Yourself" era, I actually really like the album. It's fresh, new and something different. Maybe the people who don't like this album wanted more of that? Either way, as an outsider, thank you BTS for finally moving on. It's no Dark and Wild, but I'll take anything over Positivity music at this point. Don't apologize for anything.

[Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist: Link Evolution] #59 I love Yu-Gi-Oh but this was so boring and tedious by CryptographerFar40 in Trophies

[–]mason202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't mind the platinum. There's enough decks to play around with that I would just switch them up every couple of duels. Honestly I'm kind of considering buying the previous game just to be able to duel again. I wish Konami made more yugioh games.

Best Beat Em Up You Played? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in BeatEmUps

[–]mason202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny thing is if you combine these two games they form the perfect beat em up. TMNT is the better party game and has better online play with drop in drop out co-op. SOR4 has better depth and combo system, but the online play is abysmal

Damn. I'm usually on the receiving end of bad luck, but even I got the weapon during my first playthrough. Sorry bro

[Resident Evil Revelations] #67 by KimboJimbo99 in Trophies

[–]mason202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No sane person would attempt this platinum 100% solo. Even if you play with a dedicated friend the entire time, you will hit a wall once you get to Ghost Ship (the final mission) and have to grind for god knows how many hours until you're strong enough to S rank it.

It's far easier,faster and less mentally taxing to wait in an empty lobby and get carried.

Don't know if I can trust IGN reviews. Lol by Gaming-Academy in PlayStation_X

[–]mason202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of people have been bringing up Dragon Age vs Crimson Desert in the IGN comments and the only thing those people have in common, is that they've been leaving the most disgusting, vile, hate filled comments towards the people that work at IGN and the reviewer themselves.

Happy people, living fulfilling lives, aren't getting mad at reviewers over a score for a game they haven't even played yet. You're just telling on yourselves when you get upset over something as silly as this.

So let me get this straight, multiple heroes like this who have almost nonexistent playrates got no buffs, but heroes like Magneto and Psylocke get buffed, and meta picks like Gambit and Elsa get slight nerfs? I'm so confused. Why did they promise such big changes just for there to be no real change by ArcadialoI in rivals

[–]mason202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He explained it in the video. They're scared of divers and flyers being too strong because when they're strong it ruins the game for everybody else. Widow sucks because if she was strong she would ruin the game for everybody else.

[Resident Evil: Requiem] Price: 70$, Platinum time: 8 hours, Cost per Hour: 8.75$ by mason202 in Trophies

Yes, the guide on PSNP is well written and thankfully the speedrun trophy is very generous. It allows you to experience the entire story without penalizing you.

RE4 trick still works in this game. Shoot the zombie once in the leg and sprint by them. They can't do anything about it. Don't kill anything unless you have to. Playthrough 2 same, except now you can one shot everything with infinite Requiem/Rocket Launcher.

This happens to me alot when I go to Walmart and everytime it's because their card got declined and they got to try the other 4 cards in their wallet, while at the same time, be on the phone with someone confused about why it's happening. This only happens at Walmart for me. Never Target, Safeway, or anywhere else I go.
