This is what Google says is on page 82.

>>4132927


the "review" is on page 61 of issue 8.

Yeah, I know that. There's no review score since it's just a preview.

Mobygames says Nintendo power in the Sept issue gave it 4/5. Doing the math, it's 3.75. Maybe they rounded up?

In any case, it doesn't line up with the later Nintendo Power review, so it's actually a separate one.

Now you made me want to watch Willow again.

Forget Tolkien, Harry Pothead and Game of Killing each other, Willow is what it's at.

game of thrones is just a soap opera with a fantasy setting. I cant believe people actually like that crap

what game do they give now

What pissed me off about this game was the font used, it made passwords a bitch for me at age seven.

>2D top down exploration puzzle action
What the fuck is this keyword list? The genre is called action/adventure. And some games on the list are action/rpgs.

>>4137838
Not as bad as Faxanadu.

>The genre is called action/adventure.

That's pretty vague. It could be 2D, 3D, and "adventure" could mean anything.

>>4136192
I think you mean mah peck

DmC: Devil May Cry

>>4138413
Adventure tends to mean exploration and puzzle solving. The "action" part means you also kill shit along the way, whereas a pure adventure game is just your Monkey Islandesque point & clicks.

I can see that, but if soaps has this much war, politics, intrigues, and thrills on top of impending doom, I would be way more into daytime soaps than I am now. I could too, I have no day job. But all I've seen so far is rich white people problems the shows.

So I'll stick with got, tyvm

It's literally an advertising booklet.

Are you high? This is the exact kind of stuff you should expect to find on a forum about retro gaming.

>>4139610

autistic bullshit like this? lol no.

>>4132927

Did Nintendo Power ever properly "review" anything? They had little mini-reviews I guess, and they gave quality scores sometimes, but I don't remember them ever having full article-length reviews. It wasn't really a review magazine; it was more about previews, tips, secrets, and a little bit of reader community.

>>4132927
Holy shit who unironically says that?

Everything is autism. Your post is autism.

War and politics are royalty (therefore rich white people) problems.

>every enemy and boss has a level threshold that you must meet or else you deal zero damage
>all the fights are piss-easy once you meet the threshold
Truly a masterpiece.

I didn't even notice that in my playthrough, in fact I need to see some proof. I was too busy having F U N

Ok how does it ruin the game, in your opinion?

>>4140224
It's forced grinding. It kills the replay value when you know you'll have to spend time grinding enemies to be able to damage the next boss. I ran into this problem late in the game in my first playthrough when I couldn't damage a boss and spent a dozen times trying to kill him without understanding why I couldn't. It's an awful mechanic and there's no logical reason for it to exist.

>>4140224
JRPG shit in an ARPG game.

>>4140232
Well, I never ran into that problem, I maxed out at some point later on anyway. So it didn't ruin it for me, but then I just got lucky.
