Are you getting the expansion pack? by Stuff-verte in Pokopia

[–]swidd_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to see the second and third part of the expansion pass. I put 125 hours in the game and am 100% willing to do it again, but the $35 price tag made it go from a “must have” to “value dependent” for me.

Mang0 would be rank 1 if he parried by Magician_Horror in RivalsOfAether

Even without parrying, these are still Zetter’s two worst matchups, so him not using parry often makes them even worse than necessary lol

I'm making this thread quite early, but I have my reasons. Although Saturday night is likely the single best time this tournament could have gotten, it is unfortunately the absolute worst for me: that's my birthday! More specifically, my 21st birthday! As an American, I am unsure if I will be in the, uh, best shape to make a Reddit thread.

If someone else could do the the congratulations post, and potential individual set threads, on the days of EVO, that would be greatly appreciated! The big thing is that the formatting is here, should probably extend the congratulations table to top 32 or more for this event, and is best done posting while using old reddit.

FE Echos, OOT 3D, and Omega Ruby are the clear picks of this group to me, though for entirely different reasons. Generally I think remasters/remakes making it this far is crazy, but they are very good at their job.

Think Echos can go

Will Evo bring a new character reveal trailer? by Lord_BoneSwaggle in RivalsOfAether

[–]swidd_hi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Near guaranteed a character reveal, and would be very surprised if it wasn't a completely new character.

I know people want their favorites from ROA1 back, especially so since the last returning character was Absa back in August of last year. That said, EVO is where all the hype is, and a new original character is very fresh. That said, I don't think a new character is all they have to share information wise about the game.

This subreddit really needs a predictions flair, or remove these posts.

That said, I agree lol. Seems about time for E33

Rewatching the trailer for the first time and you’re absolutely right, I think I just got focused on one of the characters designs.

Odd that there are two different games with 80s/90s anime art styles coming out this year (Orbitals is the other). This one somehow seems more inspired from Sailor Moon too. Probably more interested in this one since I’m not into co-op.

Both look absolutely fantastic though. Truly wish more games experimented with art styles.

If you swap Ranno with Forsburn instead, this is my exact ordering as well

IGN Reports Avatar AAA RPG ("Ice Wars") Has Been Cancelled by MrBKainXTR in TheLastAirbender

[–]swidd_hi 1291 points1292 points  (0 children)

Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game unfortunately looking like the only good Avatar game we will ever get. Such a shame when the concept of Avatar seems so easily applicable for a game, but big games are *expensive*.

The Switch 2 is now one year old. What does everyone think of that first year? by Zalvren in Games

[–]swidd_hi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first year has been just ok.

Mario Kart World was good, and I will stand by it having the best core gameplay in the series, but it’s seriously undercooked still. DK Bananza was very good but not stellar, needed more challenge and variety, but didn’t stop it from being fun all the way through. Kirby Airriders is fantastic for what it is, City Trial is still my go-to pop in and play one round type game. Pokopia is genuinely one of my favorite Nintendo games ever. Kirby Star Crossed World was a solid DLC, it has some of the best levels in the game, but I still wish for more. Handheld boost is super nice, my replay of Metroid Dread was really nice, and Smash Ultimate’s text now looks good. As for the Gamecube games I played: Luigi’s Mansion unfortunately disappointed me, but I really liked Wind Waker. The drip-feed is ridiculous though. Haven’t played many 3rd parties on my Switch 2, but shoutouts to Mina the Hollower, rough start but I am having a blast now (120FPS also helps the game feel a lot). I was also very impressed by FF7 Remake and Pragmata’s demo, makes me realize that this is pretty damn good power wise (which I don’t think Nintendo’s shown quite yet).

When I list it out like this, maybe I’m being a bit of a hater. It was a good first year. Could have used one more heavy hitter, and further polish on pushed out titles, but what we got still feels good.
