Random Gaming Thoughts

Even though that new Metroid 3DS game is in no way what people want, isn't there still the distinct possibility it's a good game? On its own I don't see any more reason why it would be bad than good.

Yes, it is a possibility. But no, it's not what folks want.

In some ways, it's a bit like Metroid Prime: Hunters. That's a solid, Quake-style shooter, but it's not what most folks want out of Metroid. Everyone wants either a Super Metroid-style game or another Metroid Prime. (And maybe a few wouldn't mind seeing Other M again. Clearly not Gunstar, though. )

It's still poopy.

Back to Samus, I don't even think her having a bout of PTSD is an issue. We have badass soldiers that come back from real wars and still suffer PTSD, so why should we assume that Samus (a fictional character, of course) is immune?

THANK YOU. The poor girl watched her entire village destroyed and her mother murdered right in front of her.

I get that, but at his point she's also faced down Ridley on about 6 occasions without issues before now. It shouldn't even be a surprise that he's back again by this point.

PTSD is incredibly unpredictable like that.

Of course, it could just be bad writing, too, but there are guys that do multiple tours and don't get hit until somewhere well down the line.

Exhuminator made a good point that for him, it's more the childish portrayal at points, and I can see where that would rankle.

I just bought a PlayStation TV. What have I done?

Between this and the Amiibos I think something is wrong with me.

How much did you pay? I'm actually thinking about one as a companion to the Vita, so I can play some of my games on the big screen if I so desire.

I had a $10 GameStop stuff but it was 60 plus tax for it and a DS3. This guy here:

As a random thought... I'm really annoyed that the Vita doesn't include at least an L2/R2 buttons. I can deal with the back touchpad for L3/R3 because most games don't use them much, but I'd really like to fiddle with remote play on the PS4, and it seemed to work quite well with Dragon Age: Inquisition, except for the blasted controls.

Well... All my gaming crap is out of my dad's basement and into my new basement. Next step: unboxing and organizing. Then? Probably deciding how many backups (consoles, PSUs, controllers) is necessary and how many is hoarding. Keep an eye on ye olde bst threade in like a month's time, especially if you're looking for wires.
