Got my Sogeking version of One Piece ordered. I'll probably pick up Forspoken and Dead Space later in the year once the price has come down a bit, depending on how they review. Can only get so many games day one these days when they're all 60+.

I have a suspicion that the final boss originally involved running around on the surface of the boss itself and destroying nodes or something and it didn't work or was, again, not very fun and what we got was, again, the compromise.

Honestly, Frontiers feels like there were lots of compromises in several areas in order to make it less of a slog and it's better for it, even if some mechanics feel pointless because of it.

I get the feeling the parry system used to be harder, but probably was frustrating in return and what we got in the end was a compromise.

Yeah, 100% the map and you'll get all the icons, plus you can fast travel between the cyberspace portals too.

Is there a point to doing the lessons at school?
The lessons themselves are mostly worthless (there are rewards, but they're just XP candies), but doing them unlocks opportunities to speak and get quests from the teachers and completing those gets you some neat stuff, like region variant Pokemon.

About nine hours in, two gyms and two titans down.

Doing a nuzlocke and the open world does make things tense. I keep going to new areas to catch something and then it's ten levels higher than my team. Goddamn Kirlia (which was invisible for the whole fight) OHKO'd two of my team and then teleported out. Also I caught a shiny and then got it killed.

One thing, my character's expression got stuck on a 'sad' face for a while and I don't know if it was just a bug or a feature. If it was intentional, it was because I didn't like a sandwich (which was still 3-stars!), but it meant that my character looked miserable during the post-gym photo, which was hilarious.

Just finished it and yeah this is pretty damn accurate. There are a lot more including non story ones you can have pop up during exploration like Tangle being canon so now we got comics stuff in the mix.
Sticks is mentioned too, which is either a mistake or I guess she's no longer stuck in Boom.

Basically the same complaints I have. the difficult also spikes at the most random times. Sometimes they'll give you two minutes to do a trail which takes literally five seconds and sometimes you've gotta try multiple times to learn a pattern or something and even then only just squeek by.

The third island was by far my least favourite too. It has a TON of 2D sections in the open world area, but if you don't start them at the right point, the 2D perspective doesn't kick in properly and some of them are impossible to navigate in 3D.

I'm 13 hours in, just finished the third island and I think this might be the most fun I've had playing a 3D Sonic game ever. It's so nice that they're actually developing the lore again after so long and that the characters are having proper conversations with each other about something other than what to do next.

Could do with a little less constantly referencing previous games, but at the same time, it is nice that they're actually acknowledging stuff too.

I was intrigued when it was announced to release on Switch with an alternative to motion controls... but it wasn't actually a viable alternative apparently. The controls still leave much to be desired, to the point where most people would just prefer to suffer the motion controls.
I played it last year when it came out with a pro controller and had no problems. The only issue is that using a controller makes combat a cake walk. Wiggling an analogue stick is much faster than swinging a remote, so you basically blitz any combat. Getting the Hylian Shield was easy. And a lot of the sections I had heard nightmare stories about (like the harp playing) were no problem.

As for the game itself, it's got a few really cool dungeon mechanics and Groose is a GOAT Zelda character, but it's clear they either had a strict budget or stripped stuff for BotW. There are three main areas and you revisit each area multiple times remixing it each time. But as has been said, it's still a Zelda game, so it's still a good game, it's just on the lower end compared to other Zelda games.

It looks like they're digitally remastering/upscaling the original footage and they have to resort to the original footage for certain episodes and transitions, because the way the original dub was made makes it hard for the AI to upscale it properly.

I don't think they're fully uncutting everything that was cut though as it sounds like it's still a faithful reproduction of the original dub. Just where those cuts and changes caused problems or were edited improperly.

Still, a tremendous undertaking! More than most 90s cartoons will likely ever see, I imagine.

I'd say no, but I can see how it feels like it is. With most stuff being cross-gen and more stuff being available on PC, it definitely feels like there's fewer truly 'next-gen' games, like previous generations had.
