Super Mario x The Odyssey

This is either the best or worst thing I've ever done. I read two 3000-year-old novels to write a preview of a 2017 videogame.

No-one on the Interwebs has this take. Two thumbs up. Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!

(I read The Iliad and found it tough going)

I was the same, but I actually found the Odyssey quite an enjoyable read.

Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up! indeed. Gave it just a skim earlier, but it read like good stuff. Also Rosalina > Peach, if the former's mental growth hasn't been stunted by growing up on an observatory of child-like star-things.

I know the stories of both, and I think I might have read the entire Iliad back when I was a kid and trying to be pretentious...

Some thoughts on 3DS eShop puzzler Bye-Bye BoxBoy!. I'd still recommend the original game over this one, if you haven't played any of them. Winky Face

I've served up some delicious words about Danganronpa 1.2 Reload. Feels good to be writing long-form reviews again!

The review in question!

Good stuff! Said as someone who knows the games' plot, but not much about their gameplay.

Cheers Balla! It's one of those games that don't really need to be played to get the full experience, but it's still worth a play. Thumbs Up!

Today's lesson: never let Drunka write your preamble for you.

Anyway we reviewed BotW. (I'll let Drunka talk up his other piece himself - it's very silly.)

Well, excuuuuse me Princess.

I did mention my other piece in the movie thread. It is exceptionally dumb, but I needed to do something with my 40 hours on Mario Kart and my experience of watching all the F&F films and, well, I couldn't sleep.

I really liked Balla take on BotW as I do like a good list and why I may not like the game as much as some.

But isn't Balla's review about debunking a lot of the game's common criticisms, rather than agreeing with them?

I liked Balla's review. He gave some nonsense arguments more truck than I would have, but that's the beauty of the arrangement.

Cheers my man, yours was a fine work of praise too! Smile Out of interest, which arguments did you feel were the most/least nonsensical, if you don't mind saying?

Mostly the "not a Zelda", "no story" ones, which I've gone into elsewhere. I can at least understand the mechanical ones, even though I think they speak more to the attitude of the complainant than the game.

'Not a Zelda' was one of my counterarguments to the negatives! Laughing To me a key element of a (3D) Zelda is that dungeon-item-boss loop, without it this feels more like a open-world adventure with strong (very strong) Zelda leanings.

As for the story, as I said in there, I think that's bobbins myself... but I can see why my girlfriend, who plays games for the story (she's into BioWare, Ace Attorney, Borderlands and the like), wouldn't like it. Mind you, I think her taste in games is bobbins too. Meh

It is a Zelda, though: it just isn't the exact same game they've been releasing since Link to the Past. By your logic, Super Mario 64 isn't a Mario, but Super Mario 3D World is. See, even you aren't positive enough about Zelda to avoid winding me up Laughing

It's my favourite game ever, and that wasn't even particularly a criticism! Laughing What do you need me to do, draw porn of me a Link?

I'm not doing that by the waJAS PUT THAT PEN DOWN
