I'm glad you guys are warming up to Snake's inclusion. Metal Gear Solid is a fantastic series... and once you discover it, you realize that Snake isn't just some mercenary... or just another grunt soldier on a mission to save the world from a boring threat.
Nah, there's alot more than that in Metal Gear Solid. Alot of character development, alot of twists (ok... ALOT of twists) and humor.

It's great. My only problem is those twist may be the biggest loads in gaming history.
Was going to make a "change" American Kirby, but I'm not that skilled at Fireworks.
Yeah... eh.... I'm done defending Metal Gear Solid 2's plot.
The first MGS didn't have a dumb twist like that though. (What I mean is, there was no "What a twist!" moment.)
And Raiden didn't make things any easier. MGS2 was pretty good, but it fell apart at the end there. MGS3 was a really good game, and the plot was good too. It seemed to fix up the big mess that was at the end of 3. Unfortunately... it was a prequel, and just helped to clean up the story a bit, but didn't really expand on it much. It had it's own themes and really good storytelling though. And I like how they made fun of Raiden through the whole thing thing.
We would really like to continue the story of Solid Snake though.... so hopefully they get back on track with MGS4.

To be fair... that's only a summary of Metal Gear Solid 2's storyline, and only the last part is half true.
Metal Gear Solid has a fantastic plot, with loads of brilliant plot twists. Though you need some knowledge of the older games to enjoy it completely, and there's quite a lot of military jargon.
It's a fun game, too. Especially after getting the stealth camo. You haven't lived until you've picked up a dead body, dragged it to one of it's still-living comrades, and made it dance in front of them.
Evie ❤✿: Anyone got Paper Mario TTYD Remake on Switch? ^^ Is it fun? I know it's mainly just the same game.

nocturnal YL: I'm unlikely to get PM TTYD on Switch. I have the GameCube version; it's fun, but a bit tedious at times (backtracking, Pit of 100 Trials). Also, unlike PM64, 100% completion is a non-starter for me.
Apr 27, 2024 5:20:11 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: I see. Yes. I have the GameCube version as well and was thinking of just replaying that - I don't need the Switch version even though portability can be convenient (though the Switch battery life is not so good).
Apr 27, 2024 6:26:49 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: Yeah parts of the game are fun but backtracking can be a nuisance and the Pit of 100 Trials can be challenging or long. I felt similar when replaying Pokémon Colosseum for Mt. Battle for Ho-Oh.
Apr 27, 2024 6:27:46 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: Yeah, similarly certain games I like to 100% other games not as well. I never bothered with 100% completing TTYD.

Evie ❤✿: Some point out the frame rate is 30 fps rather than the GameCube's 60 fps; so that's not everyone's cup of tea.
Apr 27, 2024 6:29:33 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: On the other hand it's nice though if you don't have the game or using your GameCube is inconvenient. I think Nintendo has a lot of older fans like us, but for some people this is a completely new experience.

Evie ❤✿: I found it interesting how they released Super Mario RPG again. I enjoyed it, even though some may say it is a little dated.
Apr 27, 2024 6:31:32 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: Though it's also a bit like.. the presentation of games is changing with the times - sometimes a faithful remake may seem a little out of place (for some).
Apr 27, 2024 6:32:46 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: You still been playing your familiar series like Atelier recently? ^^ Or what new games you played recently? I made a start on Freedom Planet 2 (the sequel to a Sonic-like influenced by China) which only recently came out for Switch.
Apr 27, 2024 6:38:06 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: However, I also started a new file on Super Mario Sunshine and have been enjoying just replaying that.
Apr 27, 2024 6:38:42 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: I think Nester might also be a fan because I think he mentioned Freedom Planet 1 somewhere, and it also popped up on my Switch he was playing Freedom Planet 2.
Apr 27, 2024 6:39:46 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: So far I prefer the original game.
Apr 27, 2024 6:40:05 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: Yeah, I've been playing Freedom Planet 2. I like it, but there are some issues. I'll do a post on it eventually. I've finished it with Lilac and Carol so far, and I'm working on a playthrough with Milla. I'll do Neera after that.
Apr 27, 2024 7:59:19 GMT -5
Evie ❤✿: Nice. Glad you like it. ^^ Cool, will check it out whenever you do. :] I haven't had the chance to get any momentum on it yet. Also some people may like the 'intermission'-like areas you can explore (similar to Shantae) but 4 me I like just raw levels.
Apr 27, 2024 14:36:27 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: ^ I agree. I don't think the hub areas are that interesting. There's a Classic Mode that just gives you the levels, but you have to unlock it by beating the game once.

nocturnal YL: Interesting find on the Magikarp. I think Pokémon merchandise didn't put emphasis on shinies until recently, so that's rather unexpected.
Apr 27, 2024 23:40:14 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: I'm currently playing Atelier Escha & Logy DX, in the final quarter of the game. I tend to focus on one game at any given time, so yeah, I haven't been playing anything else. That long backlog of mine will have to wait even longer.

Nester the Lark: It is kind of funny that I'm on my third playthrough of the newest Fire Emblem game, and YL hasn't even touched it yet.
