  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Review - Destiny's Child.

    @chriss_m: The review is actually quite well-written and explains in great detail why the game got the score it got. It's a review that justifies the score it gave completely - not one of those review...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Should We Give Up On Owning Games? | Spot On.

    @Peet: The point I was trying to make is that we can actually have our cake and eat it too, and it's frustrating that a lot of the conversation boils down to "physical vs. digital" when there's no nee...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post The State Of PC Gaming Handhelds Shows A Bright Future.

    @Tiwill44: This is a super late reply - sorry - but I mostly play RPGs and visual novels when I walk so that I can easily look up from them without dying. Playing action games and the like while outsi...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Should We Give Up On Owning Games? | Spot On.

    @Tiwill44: The problem is when the online-only ceases to be optional for every game. We know that Microsoft at the very least wanted this all the way back before the Xbox One released, and I'm sure th...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post The State Of PC Gaming Handhelds Shows A Bright Future.

    @Tiwill44: That's definitely an overstatement. As I've gotten older and exercise has become more of a priority, I find handheld gaming to be all I want to do. Sitting down in front of a TV for hours o...

    @sportwarrior: Honestly...me too. I spend a huge amount of my day walking, and I like to spend my evening hours hanging out with my girlfriend while she watches TV. It often comes down to a choice bet...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Former Xbox Exec Says Millions Were Spent To Get Games Parity With PS2.

    He did a good job. Xbox went from being a system I had no interest in when it launched to having the best gaming console of the mid-2000s with the Xbox 360. They were truly innovative back then...ach...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Banjo-Kazooie Was Fantastic--And It Doomed 3D Platformers.

    @Tiwill44: Agree with everything. I distinctly remember, in the year 2000, thinking Donkey Kong 64 was the greatest game I'd ever played, and for a handful of years after that I counted it as my all-t...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post After Super Mario Bros., Here Are 7 Movies Nintendo Should Make.

    Did they really not put the incredibly obvious Donkey Kong on here?

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey Review - Not A Very Silly Old Bear.

    My friend and I were thoroughly entertained throughout. We laughed and cringed in equal measure.

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Metroid Prime Remastered Remains A Revelation.

    @santinegrete: It's the first (and only) game I actually fell asleep playing in the middle of the day. I found it that dull.Maybe you're right, though. Last time I tried it I was in a very different s...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Metroid Prime Remastered Remains A Revelation.

    @crashchaos: Thanks for the response. That's unfortunate to hear. Hope everyone who likes the game enjoys this remaster!

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Elden Ring Is Now The US's Best-Selling Game Of The Last Year, Topping Even CoD: Vanguard.

    @heidern98 said: Sometimes, quality is rewarded.Then you look at the rest of the top 10, and realize 6 of them are annual franchises, low-quality Pokemon remakes, or generic Ubisoft stuff. Le sigh.

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Nintendo Suspends Shipments To Russia, Citing "Logistics".

    @mogan: Russia is literally the size of South America. There are plenty of places they could ship to in the country that are away from the "volatile" areas.That they don't condemn the war is bizarre t...

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Monster Hunter Games Ranked From Worst To Best.

    Laziest blog update in awhile - would have been a slam dunk for SEO if you included Monster Hunter Portable 3rd or any of the other games left off this list when you first posted it.

  • Mamba219 posted a message on the post Steam Deck Review - Redefinition.
