    This is not the type of game to play with the same mindset you'd go into playing Mario -- as SNESDrunk has pointed out in many YouTube videos I have watched, you have to have an open mind to a noncon...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake Delayed Indefinitely.

    It appears that they're doing things right based on the video and if it takes a delay or 4 to make a higher quality game, I say delay it as needed. It is a timeless classic, afterall; no need to rush ...

    @p0tent: Thank you mate -- I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. Thankfully there are people such as yourself to help folks like me out haha

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Xbox Console Exclusive The Medium Is Bloober Team's First Cinematic Horror Game.

    Very neat, but I'm confused -- how is it an XBox Series X exclusive if it's also releasing on PC? Do they mean simply that it won't be released on Switch or PS5?

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Assassin's Creed Valhalla Review.

    @Barighm: Thanks for the response mate -- honestly in AC 2 even, I felt it was too forgiving. Health potions were so easy to come by and purchase and you were able to hold so many at at time that full...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Assassin's Creed Valhalla Review.

    Not sure who needs to hear this, but the main quip I've had with AC has always had little to do with the narrative or exploration so much as the gameplay; far too forgiving and easy to bypass challen...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post NHL 21 Review.

    @5tu88sy: That's a good question -- I've always felt that it would be more reasonable for sports game franchises to have seasonal/annual updates instead of releasing a new game each year. There are of...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit Review – Making Tracks.

    I really want this -- looks like it would appeal to my friends and family that don't game much.

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Super Mario 3D All-Stars Features Three Fantastic Platformers.

    @doctorvanbosh: Yeah that was very bizarre -- they tend to do things like that like when there was a limited supply of NES classics (or was it SNES classics?). Maybe they're trying to increase demand?...

    Dude -- the real life Mario Kart and SMB 35 look dope as hell

    @Abdulrahman1981: I freaking love HLD

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post The Wonderful 101 Remastered Review - Mob Mentality.

    I guess I'm a bit confused in the differences of scores -- presumably the controls for the Switch and WiiU are that much of a difference to reduce the score that much, I reckon? Time wise, it wasn't ...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Treachery In Beatdown City Review.

    This game looks pretty funny; a parody more or less of Final Fight and other games of the classic genre -- I want to give this a whirl. Good Work Funke.

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Animal Crossing: New Horizons Review - Island Getaway.

    This game looks great -- I thoroughly enjoyed Stardew Valley and never really got into Animal Crossing. This game seems a bit more stressful, but worth a try for sure -- I'll probably look to get it ...

  • NickBasile posted a message in the forum topic only an eight. on the DOOM Eternal Board board

    I haven't played Eternal, but I felt that Doom 2016 was at least a 9 -- it was probably my favorite modern FPS. Sometimes, the reviewers have some arbitrary pet peeves that I feel affect their review...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Nintendo Switch Online: February's Free SNES And NES Games Are Now Live.

    @alvisj: yeah that's a very fair point. I'm not sure what sort of work is involved with importing the library to the SNES library on Switch, but the list does seem rather arbitrary. Sadly, the only wa...

  • NickBasile posted a message on the post Nintendo Switch Online: February's Free SNES And NES Games Are Now Live.

    I'm very pleased with the $20 annual fee -- comes out to about $1.67/month. It's certainly not going to please everyone for various reasons, but I dig it.

  • NickBasile posted a message in the forum topic Did you pick anything up during Black Friday?. on the Games Discussion board

    I actually never get games new -- the cost even on Black Friday will still be $40+ typically. I can usually find games 6 months-2 years after release for $30 or less (obviously there are exceptions). ...

  • NickBasile posted a message in the forum topic What is your Android brand?. on the Off-Topic Discussion board

    I have the Samsung Galaxy S9 and I love it. I used to have the HTC phones and I loved them as much if not more but I got this one free. In between this and my previous HTC I got an LG Stylo and was no...
