Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection (14th March 2024)
Hero-of-Time replied to Julius's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Do or do not. There is no try. It was a fun time but sadly I was hit with the save corruption bug when I updated the game. Luckily, I had yet to put much time into Battlefront II and so I didn't lose that much progress. Still annoying that it can happen though. It's shame that the medal requirements are only available once per life. Having to die or respawn on purpose in order to get one to count was a little annoying, especially when I was doing well. There was only the Demolition one that required farming, the rest came through natural play. I will say that the Marksman medal was a pain to get purely because of the AI. The amount of times Rebels would walk into my shots was ridiculous. So many friendly fire kills...many bothans died to bring me my medals. Having now played them both, I don't recall much of Battlefront II at all. It was Battlefront I that I played the Hell out of back in the day and I actually prefer that one over the sequel. Sure, the sequel is more polished and fleshed out but I prefer the simplicity of the original game. Capturing the outposts style gameplay makes for some great tug of war matches. So many times this would happen. -

I actually own it. I bought it on sale a while back but never got around to playing it. There's a few bits of DLC that I wouldn't mind playing through (Mario Kart, Splatoon 3, Xenoblade 3, Splatoon 2) and so I may free up some time during one month and just focusing on playing all of this stuff. Still need to pick up the DLC for Xenoblade 3 and Splatoon 3 though. I really should have pulled the trigger on the XB3 DLC the other month when it was on sale. It's rare for Nintendo published stuff to be reduced in price.

I would definitely recommend the 3rd game, @Helmsly, even just for the story mode. It has a cracking campaign to play through.

Possibly. I'll see how I get on with the rest of my playthrough.

I decided that this would be the next game I play on my hit list for the year. I honestly have no idea why it's taken me so long to play through the story mode of the game. I loved the campaign in both the original Splatoon and Splatoon 3 and was keen to see how this one held up in comparison. The credits rolled for me yesterday evening. Another very enjoyable experience, with some great level designs. However, I do think it has the weakest campaign out of the 3 games. Don't get me wrong, the levels are still stupidly fun to play through and the music is great as always, it's just that the highs from the other 2 games weren't really reached with this one. While watching the credits, which were great due to you needing to paint the wall to see who has worked on the game, I noticed this. I swear Monolith have their hands on every game that comes out of Nintendo these days. They are such a great studio, not only for their own output but the support work they do for other internal teams. They have to be one of the best acquisitions in the gaming industry. Despite the credits rolling, I'm not counting this as done yet and I'm not crossing it off my Gaming Pledge list. As you can see below, I still have things left to unlock/find in each of the stages. There's also the added challenge of finish every stage with all 9 weapons. This would mean finishing the campaign 9 times. Am I crazy enough to attempt this? Time will tell...

Nintendo Switch Online: Game Boy / Game Boy Color
Hero-of-Time replied to Julius's topic in Nintendo Gaming
Spot on. To be fair, things like frame rate don't usually bother me. I mean, over the past few weeks I've spent 60 hours playing Age of Calamity, a game which reviewers tore apart for how it ran, and when I did notice it happen I wasn't fussed. I was too busy enjoying hacking down hordes of enemies. It's like when I played The Last of Us Part I and Pokemon Violet close to each other. One was a graphical master piece that ran perfectly and the other was mess that needed far more time in the over. Despite that, I still played Pokemon more than TLOU and had a lot more fun with it. -
With any type of game with rogue elements its really about just finding a weapon and setup that suits you best. There will be a lot of trial and error until you find what works for you and your play style. I fired it up yesterday and enjoyed what I played but did question just what I would get out of it. I liked that there was an in game achievement system as it would give me something to work towards should I decide to buy it. Is there even an end to the game or is it just a question of surviving as long as you can and that's it?

Releasing that thing has been a massive waste of time and money.

It never seems to drop in price. Its weird because all the other Nintendo based Warrior games have been reduced over time but Hyrule Warriors refuses to budge. Yeah, last year was a treasure trove of releases. Pikmin 4, Advance Wars, Pikmin 1 and 2, Metroid Prime, Mario Wonder, WarioWare...the list goes on. It's great to see this kind of support from Nintendo at the end of a consoles life. They usually drop it like a brick. I suppose they need to make sure that the user base that they've built on the Switch makes a smooth transition to their next model. I've certainly enjoyed playing on my Switch more over the past couple of years than I did early on in the systems life. The quality stream of software definitely has a lot to do with it. I know there are a lot of remakes and ports heading our way and that have already been released but I think it's great that they are now readily available on newer hardware. Honestly, I'm quite surprised just how well the hardware is holding up. Sure, at times you get games running like garabge but when you have developers tailor making games for the hardware limitations, you do see some fantastic results. -

I think this is a feeling amongst many gamers. People, myself included, have still a Switch backlog to get through. -

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (20th November 2020)
Hero-of-Time replied to Julius's topic in Nintendo Gaming
After nearly 60 hours, 100% has been achieved. I thought I would have needed to grind a lot more than I did. Link ended up level 100 purely because of all missions that I done using him and I had pretty much got all the materials I needed by doing the story mode missions again for the Korok Seeds. I didn't realise some are hidden in the side missions as well and so I had to play through those again. The final side mission I needed to complete had me stumped. I kept running out of time and couldn't figure out why. Turns out I was neglecting the Fort and once Guardians entered the area, the timer started to decrease. Once I figured what was going on it was actually quite easy. Fantastic game and one that I throughly enjoyed playing. I could have stopped at the 15 or so hours it takes to finish the story but playing until fully complete allowed me to experiment with different characters and tackle much more challenging stages. I certainly got my money's worth out of the game. With that done, that's game number 2 done and dusted from my Switch 2024 Pledge list. -
The first game on my PS4 2024 Pledge has been completed. I'm not really sure what to think of it. I certainly don't rate it as highly as what many other people do but I don't hate it either. I'm never a fan of exploration or telling a story through snippets spread out here and there, with the player having to piece together what's gone on. This game leans heavily on both of these things. Despite that, I did get enjoyment from certain parts of the game, such as learning how to fly the spaceship and jet pack on the spacesuit. They are fiddly at first but work stupidly well once you get the hang of them. I also liked watching how certain planets changed as the cycle moved on, although having to hang around the Twins while the sand drained from one to another was a bit of a drag. Had the trophies not been there to give me some guidance, then I doubt I would have bothered pushing on with the game. I prefer to be lead/have a more linear experience. It's why I don't really get on with open world games. I'm not really fussed about exploring new areas...bit like that in real life as well. I'm a very homely person. I was always curious about the game and wanted to play it to see what all the fuss was about. While it certainly wasn't made for me, I can see why people who like these types of games fell in love with it.
