Honestly, I can't help but think of the same thing with that phrase.

You say that knowing full well that Pearl is sporting a dragon whose head looks like a knob? Boring is the last thing I'd call Palkia. Seriously though? I totally agree. It's why the spin-off games constantly outshine the mainline games in box art.

This is the 2nd DQ game I've not played yet. I thought I'd never be able to! So I'm happy with this. Now just give me I and II and I'm set!

I'm glad you went for a XII thread first! I was terrified that you were making a thread at the same time as me there!

That logo screams PS1-era teenage angst!

You got Octopath Traveller in my Dragon Quest! Revealed during the Dragon Quest stream a few hours ago. Uses the same engine as Octopath Traveller. No release date yet, although it will be a simultaneous worldwide release. No word on what platforms it'll release on either. (Just a mention of "Home consoles", whatever that means...) Well excited for this! III is one of the DQ games I've not played yet and I won't have to do so with an ugly mobile port!

They're boring poses. So it might as well be hand-drawn boring poses. Actually, you know what, you want slightly different posing? Let's even the playing field a bit. Now that's a fairer fight. Both are remakes with verrry slightly more dynamic posing. What do you think? You think 3D renders win out here?

Are... Are Sony dunking on their own console's line-up!? I'm legit confused right now!

Honestly, if they just ported Black/White and Black2/White2 because they'd rather not risk messing them up, I wouldn't be upset.

I'm just gonna pretend they're really small scales.

OK, heading online shortly @darksnowman. Will be open until 9pm.

I know about as much as you do, but I am very confident in what I'm about to say. No. The Pokémon Twitter account posts all sorts of stuff related to loads of different generations. It means nothing.

With Valstrax (Chrome-Plated Jet Dragon, you get it!) making a return to Monster Hunter Rise, I'm reminded of how much I like it's music. That choir drop at 0:53 is just exquisite! Looking forward to hearing how Rise remixes it. EDIT: Actually, while I'm at it. I also like Magnamalo's theme. And the standard area themes normally don't wow me in Monster Hunter, but the Sandy Plains surprised me with how catchy it is.

Depends on what they mean when they say it's a "faithful remake". I wouldn't bet on it being replaced.

"I recommend playing something else because open-world games are boring and Game Freak isn't gonna be able to fix that" That box art is actually quite nice, though. Like, that is Pokémon spin-off quality box art!

Yeahhhh. Hard disagree. Shiny lights don't distract me from the fact that it's replacing hand-drawn art with a 3D Render. Which wouldn't be so bad, but the posing isn't much better than your average mainline Pokémon box art, so it's not a good substitute. And I'm just gonna assume you mean 99% of mainline Pokémon games, because I'm not gonna post the Mystery Dungeon artwork again. Anyway, I can't believe they made Palkia look even more suggestive than normal! That has to be on purpose! Don't make it raise it's head vertically! What's wrong with you!?

Redd is at my island with a Real Dynamic Painting. If you're interested, give me a shout so I know to open up at 8pm. EDIT: Claimed by darksnowman.

Eh, as long as liberal usage of spoiler tags is taken up, I'm sure people don't mind.

I have to agree there, @Sheikah To believe that there isn't some kind of political bias in Eurovision is naïve. Now, I can't possibly say how much of an impact it actually has, but it is starting to get really weird how often the UK places so catastrophically low. Part of it is definitely how we just lump Eurovision with some nobody we've never heard of instead of sending our A-game. But a lot of people are saying this year's entry wasn't terrible, and yet, not a single point? Just looks suspicious. I'm no Eurovision fan, but how long has it been since the UK reached the top half of the board?

Someone, somewhere, is furiously typing about how "that game" is very clearly Smash Ultimate.

What is it with Magnamalo Turf Wars ending by barrelling right towards me!? It happened twice yesterday! Anyway, @RedShell and I got some exclusive access to Monster Hunter Stories 2! Seemed appropriate that I ended up with the googly-eye lizard with a long tongue.

UK can compose the greatest song in the history of forever and they'll still be near the bottom of the scoreboard. We are truly the equivalent of the Fire Emblem character in Smash Bros.

Nope, that's defo new. Hopefully, you can make a layered armour version of special armour...

This video has it all! Well, OK, except for 72 characters. But apart from that, it has it all! This video features @BowserBasher@RedShell, @Dcubed and me.

Honestly, that Captain Falcon match alone has enough gold in it! Might have to bust out the video editing feature again!
