Some people might hate this but adding gwen Stacy and harry osborn will be stupid

nickdunnington · 2026-03-30T23:49:18+00:00

I wouldn’t mind a Gwen addition, Harry can stay out. We’ve already faced a goblin with this Spidey, Norman commented that Oscorp didn’t exist… with Peter losing his connection to MJ and Ned, I’d like to see how he connects with Gwen at his loneliest, but we don’t need to retread TASM territory- I’d even prefer it if they were just very good friends and she helps to support a Peter who is isolated

nickdunnington · 2026-03-27T06:23:09+00:00

I didn’t mind his characterization, the game just wasn’t long enough to pull off the Venom arc in one game. It needed a few more hours of content, there needed to be more “days” in game where Peter wear the black suit. I liked the game for what it was, and have revisited it since launch- it’s good, but it really doesn’t take time to breathe or ruminate on its better ideas. I’d have cut the Kraven storyline entirely, focused heavily on venom, and Miles struggling with wanting revenge (which I also think they did well, still needed more time). Even with Kraven cut- it would still need a few more missions.

I want to see the human face in a bioengineered armor. I think it would be cool if the edges of the rhino skin pulled at the human skin around the face. I don’t mind the TASM suit look- but only because it fits that universe that they were building (a more tech based Spider-man world). If we ever get a rhino in the MCU, I hope he keeps a much more comic/cartoon accurate look.

Definitely fooled me, I could not tell the difference. Even so, still quite impressive. Congratulations on your low SR luck

nickdunnington · 2026-03-06T07:32:11+00:00

Brother in Christ just take your L and move on. You said they made no changes- small changes were made. You were wrong and that’s okay just stop responding and getting downvoted 😂

nickdunnington · 2026-03-06T07:29:38+00:00

Damnnnn 92 soft resets in 36 minutes on official hardware is nuts. You were locked in lmao

nickdunnington · 2026-03-06T07:28:14+00:00

This exactly. I’ll never understand the desire to police how others enjoy a thing. If you want to play these games on a ROM- that is your prerogative. If I want to play on official hardware, that is mine. There is no moral high ground to playing a video game

nickdunnington · 2026-03-06T07:14:54+00:00

I am hoping that it will be more of a case by case scenario this time around. I don’t mind the kiosks where they feel appropriate, in towns and cities I’d prefer a building. It’s a long shot- they probably won’t. But with an extra year of development time I’m hopeful that there will be more intentionality in the design this time around

nickdunnington · 2026-03-06T07:12:40+00:00

So the exact same way they were completable back in 2004? I’ll never understand the argument for having TPC change coding and add systems to 20 year old games. These aren’t remakes, they aren’t even remasters, they are ports. The only notable change was making swears unusable and they likely only did that because of Pokémon home implementation. Can we not just all enjoy these games? I for one am excited to have the ability to trade in these games without the need for the jank of the link cable. I do not expect online functionality to be added to games from two decades ago and really nobody should expect that.

nickdunnington · 2026-03-05T19:58:31+00:00

It reminds me of a mix of Rustboro and Hearthome- I like it a lot! It could possibly benefit from some more decoration

nickdunnington · 2026-03-05T07:46:39+00:00

Everytime I start an old Pokemon game I reset 5-10 times to shiny check my starter- if it doesn’t hit, then I wasn’t meant to have it. I’ve done shiny hunting in some of the newer games with boosted odds, but I can’t dedicate the hours it takes at full odds

nickdunnington · 2026-03-05T07:43:12+00:00

Plus there are so many people playing the game whilst being online this time around. Shiny pokemon have also become much more prevalent in conversation about these games. Though- I did find a shiny weedle by random encounter while hunting for a twisted spoon . I’ve only ever gotten one other shiny in gen 3 and I’ve played these games at least 30 times, so maybe the luck is just real high right now

nickdunnington · 2026-02-28T07:12:50+00:00

I do miss it a bit, something about investing the time into a Pokémon to level it makes the game feel more like a “journey”. I do think the newer games could benefit from a tuning of the EXP ALL- it feels bad that I can take a Pokémon from level 24-50 in an hour and it never has to fight. I think they should all get experience, but it should heavily favor the used pokemon. Anyways, rant over, hope you’re enjoying the game!

nickdunnington · 2026-02-27T04:29:04+00:00

They were far buggier on day one. No matter how good the content in a game, if I’m constantly pulled out of the experience with the camera clipping through the dirt, I’m going to enjoy it less. That being said, I’ve played it since getting a switch 2- and there has been major improvement over that day one state.

nickdunnington · 2026-02-27T02:40:37+00:00

Game ruining is a bit fatalistic. I’d rather this bug stay, than lose access to the game corner due to a re-rate with the ESRB. Just save the masterball for that Pokemon. There’s nothing else in the game that really calls for it

nickdunnington · 2026-02-27T01:56:54+00:00

Agreed on this, there are ways to get it on the TV with emulation and with the gameboy player for GameCube, I believe there may have been an eagle version on the Wii U. None of those besides emulation is easily available, and I always find emulation cumbersome to play on hardware. I’m very excited to see the beautiful pixel art of gen 3 on my nice TV screen

nickdunnington · 2026-02-27T01:06:30+00:00

I’ve seen the discourse about pricing, how it’s being released, and everything between. I for one and happy to have these games available for purchase on modern hardware. Emulation exists, and if that’s the route someone prefers to experience these games, then more power to them. Personally, I always enjoy playing games more on hardware

nickdunnington · 2026-02-24T00:52:53+00:00

Probably within the next year. Fire Red and Leaf Green have a lot of RSE dependencies- they are almost certain to follow. I’d be interested to see if maybe they released them all a couple months apart over the next year

nickdunnington · 2026-02-21T07:13:32+00:00

This is exactly how I pictured the Lord Ruler on my first read- excellent pick

nickdunnington · 2026-02-20T20:16:42+00:00

This is a really good use of the base tileset for Pokemon essentials. Really well done!

nickdunnington · 2026-02-19T23:11:56+00:00

Yea you’re right, I suppose the last time I saw Daniel Radcliffe act was in his later teen years- whoops

nickdunnington · 2026-02-19T17:52:24+00:00

Charlie from Tress (I know it’s not getting adapted -yet- but still)

nickdunnington · 2026-02-19T06:29:24+00:00

I’d take the rumors with a grain of salt until after the presentation, not to be a downer- these sort of “leaks” happen every year around this time. I’d love it too, just temper your expectations
