    @browncoatmal: Oddly enough I have Moss on PS VR, and I have not played anything on PS VR. *facepalm* I need to make a point of trying it out this summer. That along with Astro Bot Rescue Mission and ...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Best Retro Zelda-Like This Year Looks More Like Geometry Wars.

    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I miss the old 2D Zelda games. A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Oracle of Ages / Seasons will always be my favorites. The earlier 3D Zelda's were more m...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Best Video Game Publishers Of 2023 According To Metacritic.

    This is pretty much meaningless to me. It might mean more to someone looking for a job or investing in stock. Even then, some of the biggest publishers have fallen off eventually.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Best Horror Movie Remakes Of All Time.

    The Thing was absolutely fantastic. David Cronenberg's The Fly is also amazing. I enjoyed Invasion of the Body Snatchers too, and there are some serious wtf moments in it where you have to rewind it. ...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post PlayStation Plus Free Games For December 2023 Are Now Available.

    I have an idea for something to use a real power washer on. The only reason I keep my PS Plus subscription is to keep the games that I've already gotten through it. Even though I don't play any of the...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Game Awards 2023 Nominees Announced, See Them All Now.

    They will probably give GotY to Alan Wake 2 because BG3 doesn't need any help selling copies.On a side note, I really enjoy Diablo IV, but best multiplayer? The chat is pretty useless in game. If it w...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Best Castlevania Games: Ranking The Top 15 Entries.

    I would put Circle of the Moon and Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse higher on this list, like maybe #5 and #6. The original Gameboy Castlevanias don't really belong on this list. I agree with #'s 1-4...

    @Search_for_Vali: Journey was just a personal example. I'm happy if others really feel it is for them. It really just didn't do enough for me to find myself replaying it.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Are Too Many Games A Bad Thing? | Spot On.

    What happens is really great games that deserve to be played don't get played or purchased. The cost of making the games is so high, that studios are going to be highly reliant on people buying games ...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Nintendo Switch 2 Needs To Be As Powerful As Its Competitors | Spot On.

    If I have a Nintendo console, it's not to play third party titles. They don't even have an achievements / trophies system on their platform. I play games that are first party only. Mario/Zelda/Metroi...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post The Last Of Us Writer Expecting "Furor" Over Season 2.

    If it's like the game's part 2 is, that's not surprising. I never finished part 2, but need to. People need to respect the creators. It's their story, not ours.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Diablo 4 PC Load Times May Get Much Better In The Future.

    @jenovaschilld: wait for them to finish the game. It's missing basic features that they even had in Diablo III. I'm playing D4, am enjoying it, but am frustrated that they seem to be disconnected from...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Best Zelda Games, Ranked - Where Does Tears Of The Kingdom Fall?.

    Tears of the Kingdom is impressive, but we can't yet estimate it's longevity as a game given that it was just released. It is better than Breath of the Wild in many respects. I thought BotW was overra...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Final Fantasy 16's Focus On Story Is A Direct Response To FF15's Lackluster One.

    Final Fantasy XV's story did have some problems. I think portions in the DLC's story should have been part of the main campaign. I still enjoyed it overall though, just not anywhere near as much as X ...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Every GameSpot 10/10 Review Score.

    Many of these games aged well, some did not. I liked Super Mario Galaxy 1 better than 2 because it felt new and the soundtrack was epic. I suspect there is no one out there that would agree with anyon...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post I Love Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, But I'll Never Finish It.

    @rohanrocks88: I played it on the Wii about a year before it came out on the Switch. I had picked it up at release, so it was a long time before I finally got around to it. I remember when I first pla...

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post I Love Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, But I'll Never Finish It.

    @rohanrocks88: There are some dungeons in it that I think are really great. The Ancient Cistern is probably the best one. It seems more connected to Breath of the Wild than the other games.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post I Love Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, But I'll Never Finish It.

    I'm less likely to return to BotW because it's just too long of a game for me. I actually enjoy many of the other Zelda games more. I thought Skyward Sword was underrated.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post Activision Blizzard CEO Says Cloud Gaming Is "Inconsequential," CMA Decision Makes No Sense.

    There is one thing I know for sure. They need to get rid of Bobby Kotick. He and his friends already made a killing off of insider trading for the Microsoft transaction news.

  • barnold81 posted a message on the post PlayStation Plus Free Games For May 2023 Are Live Now.

    @quinnd6: I don't think there is a large base of people that play racing games. Most people just know Forza and Gran Turismo. Maybe Dirt, Need for Speed, Burnout (which it has been a long time since w...
