    I finished Crash 4! It retains my hearty recommendation, but with a couple caveats;

    - I dunno if it's just my particular setup/TV, but it feels laggy in docked mode. Handheld is perfect, but everything just somehow feels off or sluggish when docked.

    - the game has crashed (heh) on me twice, both times while racking up a high death count on a level. The first one prompted an automatic system reset, something I've never seen before.

    - if you're very into 100% completion (or 106% in this case) it is a brutal, absolute fucker of a difficult game to do so. You gotta clear each level with all crates smashed in a single life. These levels are long and challenging, it would be (IMO) intensely unpleasant to attempt.

    I'm gonna settle for getting all the gems and maybe the time trial relics, a feat achievable by mortals.

    All crates smashed is particularly nasty in Crash 4, because the team just adores hiding crates that are actually offscreen. There's one level with 2 crates behind a staircase that the camera can't pan far enough to look behind, for example.

    Also, the NVerted stages needing to be done for costumes in later worlds is very annoying.

    I love the game, but there were some weird choices mad in parts.


    But then I remember that I can play as balloon-animal crash and have him pop and fly away when he dies, and I'm charmed again. It's a game that's hard to pin down my thoughts on, is what I'm saying.

    Yea, the posters do not reflect the games at all. Those posters are just stupid.

    The plant girl driver has a really dumb design with some huge balloons on her chest, but the rest of the characters designs are actually pretty great.

    The way the games took the story from the first game and evolved it is pretty great actually. Zero 1 & 2 are some phenomenal games and very fun.

    I actually faceplam'd at her design, but I couldn't help but reluctantly appreciate the fact they made a busty fruit and vegetable themed girl have "melons"

    So, with all that Mario & Rabbids talk, I noticed it’s something like 70% or 80% off on the eShop

    Is the DLC stuff good?

    I am watching the Blaster Master vid, mainly I wanted to see them playing the original. I tried to get the jist of what they were saying with CC and translations (knowing how poorly that would go). It did not take long to get this
    Lets run while talking and ejaculating more and more applications while talking over the winter

    and decide maybe it is not worth it to attempt the CC

  • The WolfmanThe Wolfman Registered User regular
    I'll be honest, I didn't even know what I was looking at when I saw Kanna's design. Like my brain didn't even register the "melons". She just looked like a weird plant lady. Then it was pointed out and I went "Ohh... Ohh...Oh".

    It's still a fantastic game and series. I'm totally looking forward to the third one.

    I don’t know what to do with this: As much as I don’t need the cheesecake stuff in freaking Blaster Master, a part of me appreciates that one of the most porn-y of those posters has the pilot holding a flashlight underneath their busty co-pilot like the pilot is rolled up under a well-endowed car checking for leaks.

    There’s just a kind of pervy gearhead honesty to it that almost wins me over on camp value.

    I mean getting back to the original point just, why with those pictures though. Is that some kind of Japanese culture thing? They go over them in the vid too like it's just kind of normal.

    I am still super happy one of my most cherished childhood games got done right eventually. So many failed sequels and they did a great job with the zero games.

    I saw it described as a successfully Shovel Knighted series.

    Meaning it's NES-styled, but doesn't obey any of the NES rules for audio or graphics, and has all the modern features you would want in a game, so it feels classic but it's better than you remember it.

    Have seen unlocks take a bit of time...

    Capcom just tweeted it will be out in a few hours. So midnight Pacific most likely.

    Good News! Inti have confirmed that the Blaster Master Zero trilogy is coming in physical form to the West, complete with the Japanese voice acting!

    It doesn't come with the saucy posters, but we are getting a mask cover with both Eves on it, and a papercraft model of the tank.

    If they're also doing an english dub, I could be convinced to replay 1 and 2. But if it's japanese VO only then I probably won't bother.

    Melty Blood HD announced.

    Probably not a good sign that all it can think to advertise is "More than 10 playable characters!" The last version had 30 characters, each with three movesets.

    But hey, it's not like it's been in development since 2010. Oh wait.

    Ok, one more Tropical Freeze post. I made it up to the final boss, tried it once or twice and decided I just want to get to the end, bought some of those invulnerability potions and more health and stuff. Part of the fight takes place with pits falling into some lava. If you touch the lava, it's INSTANT DEATH. Why did I buy all these stupid assists and spend all this time collecting coins if they're not useful for the HARD PART of the game?? This is like, the one time I've actually tried to use them for their intended purpose, and they're not useful. I guess I could intentionally try to jump into the boss instead of trying to dodge over the lava pits (the way you're supposed to), but....why?? This game is just baffling.

    I am extremely impressed with how well Monster Hunter Rise is running on the switch while docked. I havent used it un-docked, but it feels and plays extremely well. No frame drops or sluggishness at all, and the load times are pretty damn quick. Very impressive feat for the hardware.

    Perfectly for like 8 hours straight, other than a particular glitch that I feel was my own fault, sort of.

    I joined a hunt with 3 cool Japanese dudes and we killed one monster and were working on the second. Then i went to turn down the volume on my Switch and accidentally hit the power button! I turned it back on quick, but the game said a communication error has occurred. But I was still in the fight, this time just me and the remaining monster, offline. It felt like it scaled back down in difficulty to just 1 player again.

    The sketchy performance started just after that a minute later, lasted about a minute where a wide open plain, just me and the monster, went sub-10 FPS. I was like oh god, the game is killing itself. But then it recovered and never did that again or since. It was so strange, it has to have been related to sleeping an online game in progress.

    I'm not entirely confident that's the case. I think the servers in question are more back-end and connection management-type servers than gameplay hosting servers. Most of the time for an online game (especially one by a major third party like Capcom), the game itself is a client to the servers managed by the game's developer. So it really is a matter of Capcom's netcode more than Nintendo's server, at least by my estimation.
