Us heroes, we have so much to do.
She's just sleeping under the tree, man. It's fine!

I agree that on paper they're basically the same, but in practice I felt it didn't come together in a satisfying/cohesive way.

I can't quite put my finger on why. Something just didn't click for me in a way the Mario RPGs did.

My criticism is that the combat somehow doesn't quite...gel?

I enjoy all of the mechanics, and they all work fine!
And yet both Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi still did active turn-based battles better over 20 years ago.

Apart from that? Amazing game.

I sometimes get the feeling that people complain about the disproportionate attention of the Game Awards all year, forget for about 24 hours, and then hate it again.

She basically is that to the Space Pirates, who chronicle the appearance of The Hunter.

Seeing Tonic Trouble just unlocked some kind of core memory.

I'm pretty sure I played the demo disc of that, back in the day when I could play a demo over and over again because I was never going to buy the full game.

For context, the song is a parody of her own song "Head Held High" (which reminds me a LOT of something I can't place...), but about influencers targeting young kids with skin care products.

"Skincarelijers" is a play on "kankerlijers", which is among the worst things you can call someone in Dutch.

That's more or less what I expected, so that's good to hear.

I have a feeling that a Metroid Prime 3 trailer, if released today, would've gotten a very similar response.

And while it's not my favorite, MP3 was a fantastic game. So I'm not too worried about this one.

Oh yeah, Anubis is always BUSTED for me too.

Unfortunately not, it has to speak for itself I guess.

They do have random codes.

You can tell from Sakurai's dev videos just how much Air Ride has a special place in his heart.

He clearly loved making it, and he clearly understands what made it not universally beloved, but an absolute cult classic.

"When do you start?"

For as much as I love Zelda, I just don't need a Zelda movie in my life, let alone a live-action one.

Zelda has a great world, iconic characters, and fun lore, but the plot of any given game has never been something which drew me in.

I'm also wondering if nobody played Prime 3?
There was a lot of talking in Prime 3, and I enjoyed most of it. Even Dread had way more dialogue than either Prime 1 or 2.

I also think Other M is overhated, but that's a story for another day.
