My problem with today's RPGs is that they are too long and meandering. Who has time to complete a 130 hour game? I sure don't. I miss the 16-bit days when JRPGs lasted 30 hours or so. That's more manageable. Octopath Traveler would be like that if it wasn't so grindy.
I recently finished my review of this on the Switch. it'll be up on the site I write for later next week! I liked it a lot, but then, I love games like Marble Madness, Super Monkey Ball, and Marble Blast Ultra.
I played Turtles in Time with my younger brother Jeff a lot, too. Back then, he was only like 4 years old, so if I accidentally got the pizza in the game, Jeff would start bawling, "Mooom! Cary got the pizza!" We still joke about that to this day! It sure made the game a lot harder since I couldn't get any pizzas! We did manage to beat the game several times, though.
Yeah you gotta wonder how reliable a wordhippo would be? :)
Just as long as I can play all the new games on my old Switch, I'll be all right. You know how when Nintendo brought out all those 3DS XL and New 3DS and 2DS etc.? Well I still use my old original 3DS! Sure I'd love to have a bigger screen, but why spend all that money when the one I have works just fine?
When 1up.com shut down, I went to two different places to make new blogs: here at PixlBit and at IGN. I figured if I didn't like one, I'd just focus on the other one. Well, after three blogs at IGN, I stopped and just stuck with PixlBit. It was just too hard to find blogs I wanted to read, and I had no idea if anyone was reading mine.
I haven't visited IGN in years. Which is a shame because for a long time I was a big supporter of them and visited them even back when they were just N64.com. But there came a point where they just got worse and worse, plus I was getting all my gaming news through press releases that were emailed to me anyway.
Oh yes, Monster Hunter is very popular in Japan. In fact, a few years ago in the 3DS game Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, for a limited time you could get Monster Hunter furniture to decorate with. Even in the US!
Yeah they are hard! I think the only ninja games I ever beat was I-Ninja and the TMNT arcade games.
Oh that makes "Chiki" sound like even less sense! :)
