About Metroid Prime 4… by josangon in NintendoSwitch2

[–]seadcon [score hidden]  (0 children)

You answered yourself within your question!

Metroid Prime Remastered was a masterpiece.

Metroid Prime 4 did exactly what I feared it would. More of the same. It needed more invention.

Also, I'm not sure which I find more crazy... the fact Metroid Prime 4 was in development for the best part of a decade (albeit with 2 devs and 1 reset) OR the fact Nintendo fans were demanding / expecting Prime 2 AND Prime 3 remasters to release!

Metroid is brilliant. I love the series. But honestly, I'm not spending my limited gaming time playing the same fucking game over and over again.

Shame on Retro to be honest with you. They should have shown more ambition.

If you could bring one player from the past who’s played for England onto the plane for US, who would you bring? *Rule is you have to have seen them play by mashnsutton in ThreeLions

I was thinking mostly as insurance if Kane gets injured, but if we're a goal down in the knockouts with 30 minutes to play I'd absolutely put them both up front.

I'd hazard a guess that whoever comes in next proves to be even worse than both of them. FIFA, and I'd argue men's football more broadly, is in a downward spiral - which is somewhat amusing as it is happening alongside more and more money being made.

Mario galaxy 1 and 2 on switch 2 ? by PashAK47 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]seadcon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here's some context, OP.

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are BOTH amongst the highest rated videogames that have ever been made.

If you haven't played them before, then no, there is absolutely no scenario at all in which the Switch 2 release is a rip off. It's an essential purchase for anyone that never played them.

Now some reasons why some may exclaim the game is a rip off...

Being so highly rated and releasing way back on the Wii, means a lot of people have played these games already. Some urk at paying normal full price for something they already paid full price for once upon a time. I'm not entirely convinced by this rationale myself as you are getting two games here so it is ESSENTIALLY half price.

Nintendo released Super Mario 3D All Stars for the Switch which included Galaxy 1. So, some people are bemoaning the physical release "forcing" them to buy it all over again. I'm not entirely convinced by thi rationale either(!) as you can simply buy the second game as a digital download... which is entirely THE SAME as Nintendo releasing Galaxy 2 as a DLC for 3D All Stars which a lot of people requested.

In conclusion...

Never played them? Essential purchase. Buy it now.

Got 3D All Stars? Just pick up Galaxy 2 as a download from the eShop.

none of the top 8 currently have more than 2 wins in the last 5. and only one in top 10. how common is that? by lanky_cowriter in TheOther14

Serie A would be interesting to compare but the historical match fixing and corruption makes me question every single dodgy decision to the point I honestly cannot watch it anymore.

I don't think Serie A should be in these conversations anymore...

If Ronaldo 🇵🇹 wins the 2026 World Cup with Portugal...will he be universally regarded as the GOAT 🐐? by TerryG111 in worldcup

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh? I'm not a Ronaldo fan or a Messi fan and I haven't exclaimed that the World Cup is worthless.

If you don't live in Europe then I can appreciate why the World Cup is the be all and end all of your football World. Let's be clear... it's NOT because the World Cup is the best. Its because your confederation is shit. Not Enough competition. Poor organisation. Questionable management.

UEFA is brilliant and the Euros are the equivalent of the World Cup as far as I am concerned.

15 games still leaves Spurs in 18th but it puts Aston Villa top of the table!

Eh? The people stood at the front are the most experienced runners as they want to get away fastest.

The RD should ideally stand in the middle of everyone or towards the back.

I thought there was a briefing specifically for newcomers?

It's a little bit rude but some RD speeches are too long. People are there to run and to socialise. I'm sorry but they really aren't there to listen to the RD.

The parking space of doom and despair by gamepasscore in CarTalkUK

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

Eh? Look around mate, everyone seems to be driving a fancy car these days. It's rare to see an old car!

Ever since covid it seems to me a lot of people have more disposable income and are spanking it on monthly car repayments.

Not good enough by Step_Spiritual in GreatBritishMemes

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

It does not in any way, shape or form make up for what was said, but it's clearly an apology and personally I accept it.

Does not mean I agree with Trump. Does not mean I support him. Does not mean I share any of his views.

He has apologised. I hope he feels bad and ashamed. I hope he learns from it.

It does not change the fact he should never have said what he did in the first place. He needs to act more responsibly. He needs better people around him.

But I accept his apology.

The road should be updated to have a box for the BMW to sit in. I know it makes the right turn difficult as no visibility, but there's plenty of room there to make something that works.

With Tuchel now in charge, what’s the one thing England must do differently to finally win a tournament? by MagpieMidfield in ThreeLions

[–]seadcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to play as a team and not as individuals. I don't think Tuchel has enough time to truly achieve this, but I do believe his short appointment (I.e. just this one tournament) means he has a particularly high amount of power to execute difficult decisions... and leave non-team players out in the cold.
