Reveal your secrets.

As /v/'s finest Zelda expert, I always avoid people who say Spirit Tracks is a good Zelda. It shows that they're prone to impulse and impressionable. Conversely, if they say Phantom Hourglass is a bad game, it automatically tells you they have the attention span of a mosquito and don't understand the ingenuity of that game and can't perceive the close roots to the original Zelda that game had.

Those are the two biggest green flags you'll see on /v/ that someone doesn't know jack about Zelda. But some others include:
>saying Skyward Sword is a good game
>saying Zelda II is a bad Zelda.
>saying Zelda 1 is "cryptic."
>saying Ages > Seasons
>saying ALBW was faithful to ALttP.
>saying Wind Waker or Twilight Princess is the best 3D Zelda.
>saying TPHD or MM3D were bad ports/remakes.

If you ever see these opinions, honk the bullshit buzzer and hide the post or ignore them.

No. The only thing is I should have proofread, but I meant what I said.

>>385522224
Technical limitations.

Most games are optimized just enough for what they have to render. With a mirror, that essentially doubles. So, for now, we get no mirrors, foggy mirrors, broken mirrors, rusty mirrors, etc.

Eventually mirrors will come back.

Bad endings have been around since the beginning of videogames and as bad as anything recent was in the days of NES and Atari there were much worse.

But I guess /v/ doesn't care about actual videogame discussions so whatever I guess.

I quit playing because PlayerUnknown sucks streamer cocks. I sniped a popular streamer (didn't know he was a streamer at the time) and he reported me for "stream sniping" (saying I watched his twitch stream to see where he was) and I got a 7 day ban with no fucking proof because the streamer and his retarded audience mass reported me.

>Catherine is a game that appears to feed into all the tropes women have been fighting: woman as sex object, nagging shrew and beastly bitch. The game begins with our hapless protagonist Vincent, a slacker journalist who has been suffering from recurring nightmares of being transformed into a sheep and forced to climb crumbling structures to avoid falling to his death.

>In the real world, things are just as fragile: Vincent’s girlfriend, the sensible-if-stern Katherine, thinks it’s time to get serious and settle down. How boring, and restrictive! Vincent spends his time lamenting this turn of events with his friends in a smoky bar, until one night he meets the gorgeous and voluptuous Catherine, and starts sleeping with her on the sly.

>When Catherine was released in 2011, first in Japan and America, then in Europe a year later, the overall reaction was positive. Critics praised its fiendishly difficult platform puzzles and nightmarish imagery yet didn’t think to unpick the gender politics at play or challenge the way women were depicted. A critic for the Guardian applauded it for exploring the complexities of love while IGN described Katherine as the typical nagging girlfriend and Eurogamer conjured her visage in Vincent’s nightmares as a “razor-toothed crotch-maw”. It probably won’t come as much of a surprise that these critics were also male.

Fuck off Game Radar.

>Neither should it come as a surprise that most of Catherine’s promotional material was obviously intended for the male gaze. One of the most recognisable shots (pictured above) zooms in on Catherine’s head and torso as the character reveals her ample cleavage and smiles coyly at the viewer. Other pictures look like screenshots from a hentai film: one where Vincent’s head is caught between Catherine’s spread legs is particularly suggestive; others where Catherine is on her back or side look as carefully arranged as a Playboy Bunny centrefold.

>If salivating males were Atlus’ designated audience, the developer did very well. But there are other reasons to play Catherine, too. Despite its oily sheen of sleaze, the game is genuinely gorgeous to interact with. The title screen, for example, sees Vincent dangling from a ledge, screaming Katherine’s name against a fuschia backdrop, while she stares past him nonchalantly. The rest of the game fizzes with these pink-and-black strobes of colour. The plush café Vincent frequents with Katherine is sweetly decorated in pale pink (a suggestion that Katherine is smothering him with love?) while the netherworld Vincent finds himself in every night is as black as an abyss.

>Such a bold visual palette suits the plot perfectly. Like a soap opera played out in the style of an anime, Vincent’s love triangle is told through a variety of cutscenes where Vincent meets Katherine, hangs out with his friends in a bar called The Stray Sheep and has sex with Catherine in his apartment. In a nifty touch, you can walk around The Stray Sheep, interacting with customers and answering texts. Most of these come from Katherine, who either berates Vincent or lets glimpses of vulnerability slip. Each text is accompanied by the sound of a small, feminine sigh: a more potent method of expressing quiet disappointment than words could ever achieve.
>>
>The majority of Catherine, however, takes place in nightmare, where the player must solve increasingly difficult platform puzzles in order to survive. Each level is divided into three stages, and each one is trickier than the last. What starts off as simply climbing a tower and strategically moving blocks around, becomes impossibly hard. As levels progress, boxes can fall on you, spikes pierce you if you step on the wrong block and other men trapped in the pit push you off the edge.

>If it sounds repetitive, it is, but the mechanics are elevated by the game’s imagery. The netherworld plays upon the essence of limbo: of repeating a set of trials for all eternity or being lost forever. Each level also ends with a monster, which clambers after you as you feverishly try to get away. Some of these creatures are deliciously hideous, such as a posterior with eyes and a tongue that emits heart mist as breath. Then there’s the church confessional, where a mysterious, omniscient voice calls to Vincent. Calling him a little lamb, the voice asks Vincent sly questions on sexuality, marriage and morality. It’s curious, as you’re never sure whether you’re answering as Vincent or as yourself.

>If Catherine achieves one thing, it’s that masculinity has never looked so fragile. Character designer Shigenori Soejima based Vincent’s look on Buffalo ‘66 director Vincent Gallo, but any resemblance is purely artificial. Unlike Gallo’s smoky arrogance and dark good looks, Vincent is a puddle of nerves: shaking, shivering and constantly doubting himself. Women are often criticised for having no agency, but here the stereotype is reversed. Vincent doesn’t take any responsibility for his actions, saying Catherine “forced herself on him” and that “he had nothing to do with it” after they sleep together. He’s such a limp noodle, it’s sometimes cathartic just to watch him die.

Nothing really.

Except it's not on Switch in the west yet.
>>
Grinding special permits was a fucking awful idea and a piss poor substitute for G Rank. Also way too many shitty quests in general.
>>
Adept and Brave styles are flat OP because of near-always accessible complete evasion, with bonuses on top in Adept's case. The styles in general are a terrible idea, the arts with them.

Too much fucking Gen 1/2 representation. I know, this is a muhstalgia game, but those gens are utter fucking garbage for monster movesets in 80% of cases. The chickenwalkers and 'los are prime bullshit material, and others like gravy-os and Khezu are flat unfun, boring messes.

Weapon balance in XX is actually pretty good, most stuff is viable and the biggest meme weapons (TEOSTRA BOW) were pulled back significantly, RIP charge blade autists. Doesn't matter though because styles and absolute evasion fuck everything back up ten times over. The entire flow of a hunt is different, and monster HP is fucking doubled to compensate for the constant safety which serves only to frustrate and annoy.

The progression feels artificial and lifeless. You're not developing a town or travelling across the world, you're just doing Quests because it's a best hits Video Game. Even for the purist in me this is a bit disheartening.

The holding A to gather is a fucking godsend though, that alone makes it hard for me to go back even to 4U.

Here's a reminder, **You shouldn't buy the Sega Genesis Flashback** and Here's why!

1) The Sega Genesis Flashback is basically AtGames' attempt to compete with the success of the NES Classic and they were like "Let's make a Sega Genesis Classic Game Console with better emulation and UI, but instead the fixed the sound pitch, but the performance is even worse, sound popping and skipping, frame drops, etc. Blast Processing more like **Ass Processing**, such wasted potential, well that's AtGames, this is the best they can do.

2) There are far superior alternatives over the Sega Genesis Flashback like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection, Raspberry Pi, Virtual Console, PS Store, Retron 5, Retro Freak, an actual Genesis, Steam, App Store, Xbox Live Arcade, etc.

3) For 80$ is just a scam, you can get a Raspberry Pi 3 with the Genesis mini case for less than 80$ and offers anything at a far far superior quiality

4) Is far less powerful than the NES Classic

Don't buy the Genesis Flashback, oh and the Atari Flashback 8 Gold had better performance than the Genesis Flashback, but worse sound
