Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I'm on world 5 of Super Mario 3D Land... and I genuinely have disliked a lot of it. I find it really frustrating honestly. I think this reinforces what I've always known - I don't really like 3D platformers. I mean... this is supposed to be one of the really good ones, right?

Well, if you don't like 3D platformers, even the best of the best ones usually don't transcend the genre.noiseredux wrote:I'm on world 5 of Super Mario 3D Land... and I genuinely have disliked a lot of it.

That said, 3D Land was good but not on the level of many newer Mario games. 3D World is the 3DL concept fully realized and is amazing though. But if you don't really like 3D platformers then it doesn't matter because you wont like it either.
Older. Not wiser.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
In games like Baldur's Gate and Diablo, you know those ancient dungeons that the undead and random demons and such have taken over? Who the hell built those and why? What exactly was the original purpose of a 10 level underground dungeon complex?

Admittedly though in the case of Diablo, it was a church with a big basement built on top of a series of catacombs that is on top of caverns which have a direct link to Hell. I don't think it was particularly intentional to build over a portal to Hell, but then again, where else do you think you should put a church?BurningDoom wrote:In games like Baldur's Gate and Diablo, you know those ancient dungeons that the undead and random demons and such have taken over?

Though in general I'm not crazy about 3D platformers. Stuff like Mario 64 always felt a bit too "slow" for me. 3D Land is nice and fast and streamlined. I sunk something like 35 hours into it when I first got my 3DS.

I never did play 3D Land, but 3D World has so far pretty much been everything I've ever loved about Mario in general crammed into one awesome package.

I rather not buy twice. It will be awesome if Sony decided to be nice and just transfer all your games free to your account on PS4
I thought stuff like PSX classics was already in emulation form , I understand that the PS4 can easily emulate PS2 games too. I also think that indie titles like Skullgirls and Limbo can be ported easily, I mean if they have PC, 360, PS3 releases why is it hard to have PS4 release?

Gradius II would probably argue otherwise, with the beating you've been giving it lately :winkGeneral_Norris wrote:I'm bad at video games and that makes me sad
