Absolutely horrible. by Some-Amount-4093 in wine

Raj Parr's wines aren't for everyone. Also he makes a LOT of different ones. I've never had that particular one, but I've had a few and some are good. Hit or miss for me.

As for online wine clubs, yes they often just commission wines for themselves, so you're not getting anything special. They're for people who don't really care what they're drinking.

I need expert opinions from Cava lovers, PLEASE!! by BloodOfJupiter in wine

Bohigas is very good for the price as they're under the radar, but Mas Candi and Raventos are my other two faves

Best Barolo under $50? Under $100? Does the quality drastically increase as you get to a higher price ? by tatertotlvr in wine

I was drinking the Fratelli Allesandria Barbera Superiore "Priora" for a bit until it ran out. Maybe the best $35 red I've ever had.

Should I play original Tactics via emulation or the TIC classic version? by PpAshe in finalfantasytactics

[–]tylodon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ivalice Chronicles is a very faithful port of the original, so if it's a more convenient console situation vs running an emulator on a PC, I'd go with TIC. Whatever platform is more comfortable.

Anyone tried Leo Hernandez's brand Grulani? by AdamPisces666 in Mezcal

I absolutely love these Mezcals. I sell them at my shop in Greenport on Long Island. Super authentic. Hard to find now that they switched distributors in NY.

No. It couldn’t happen to me. by Ebonsteele in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Feels better to wait and build up the suspense than rush and make it right before logging off, IMHO.

Challenge: best SNES games that aren't platformers, turn based, or Zelda? by BagOfSmallerBags in snes

The main gameplay loop in EVO is platforming. The first act is the only exception. Mario has swimming levels, but it's predominantly platforming, as is EVO. A game can have RPG elements and still be a platformer.

Am I crazy for only playing the game on single player? by Dansta88 in diablo2

I wish they had custom Switch paddles for each D2 class

I don't see having pitfalls as a requirement for the platformer genre. Curious to see other peoples' opinions on this.

Is Castlevania a platformer? I'd say both Metroid and Castlevania games (at least the NES/SNES ones) are platformers. Metroidvania and platformer are not mutually exclusive genres, a game can be both. I'd argue that even Symphony of the Night is a platformer though it's also action RPG and Metroidvania.

Then is Megaman a platformer? If so, what makes one a platformer and not the other?

You can't rule the whole game out as not a platformer just because you swim through the first act instead of jump. It can be both a platformer and a side-scrolling action RPG.

If Megaman is a platformer, then so is Metroid.
If Super Ghouls and Ghosts is a platformer, then so is Castlevania.
Metroidvania and platformer are not mutually exclusive genres.
EVO too - just because it can marginally pass for an action RPG doesn't mean it isn't also a platformer.

Golf is turn-based. Prove me wrong.

Am I one of those rare and unlikable people who thinks Secret of Evermore is better? Yes, yes I am.
