I’ve played the original. Graphics and puzzles were outstanding, especially for so early in the GBA’s life.
But I found the music and story to be underwhelming. (Except for the Venus Lighthouse theme, that was quite the banger)
Is the second game better in those regards?
I hope he’s working on Kid Icarus or even another new project. The man has earned a prolonged vacation from Smash Bros.
Damn! It’s Aaron Waltke himself! Will do my part good sir! 🫡
The narrative problem with the kids arriving in Federation territory in a stolen ship was that the Protostar would be impounded and the kids would be sent packing.
They needed a narrative reason to give the kids a chance to command the Protostar and have their own adventures, which means dragging out returning it to Starfleet. But rather than resorting to stalling tactics, they opted to have the kids fight to keep it out of their hands, and for good reason.
With Picard and Discovery, I felt more like that trope was used because the writers had no better ideas on how to keep the stakes high.
With Prodigy, I felt that the stakes were made essential to its premise.
In Prodigy’s defense, they waited the equivalent of two seasons to play that card, and the execution was IMO, better than what we saw in Picard and Discovery.
Hmm… the issue with a smaller Switch invariably means a smaller battery. Also, the Joycons are quite small as it is.
It’ll probably sell, as Switches are wont to do, but I wouldn’t see myself in the market for one, were I in the market for a new Switch,
While I’m personally not a fan of Khan, I’m glad this series is going to see the light of day. If this old Variety Article is to believed, it was originally going to be a full streaming series. And we’re almost on the cusp of Academy.
Inertial Dampeners failing means the ship can no longer remain at warp. (Ship would be fine, the meat bags of mostly water would not) Trek is usually pretty consistent about that part.
The handbook covers a lot of essential ground for new crewmembers ranging from the senior crew, the different divisions and shifts, tech, guide to other species, as well as different scenarios laid out by Badgey. What was your favorite part to tackle?
Chris Farnell: So many candidates here. Shaxs’ "W.O.R.F." method, the poolside rules for Cetacean Ops, and the (not entirely reliable) history of ships to bear the name "Cerritos." Like any sensible person given access to a starship, my first question was "What can I get away with?" and the answer was "A frightening amount”
I had already preordered this months ago. And I have less than no regrets.
I have half memories of patents for Mac Laptops with cellular modems from like… the late PowerPC early Intel era.
I wonder what’s changed to make Apple give the green light? Certainly isn’t cellular prices.
Firefox on iOS uses WebKit.
I think you’ve inadvertently narrowed down that the issue is an extension you have enabled for Safari. Since it’s not the website itself.
My gosh, I’ve loved this series since it was known as Trace Memory on the DS, and I modded my Wii explicitly so I could play the EU exclusive sequel.
So far, I’ve played to the opening bits of R.
Calling this game a remake, honestly, it doesn’t do it any justice.
The first game has been remade from the ground up.
As in, the mansion that is the game’s setting has been entirely redone with a new layout. It feels more like an actual mansion now, as opposed to something akin to an RPG dungeon where you keep exploring deeper and deeper.
The puzzles have also been redone from scratch. Honestly, this was probably very necessary as CiNG liked to incorporate hardware features into their puzzles. In the DS there was one puzzle where you had to look at the reflection on one screen onto the other… obviously that’s impossible on the Switch.
Actually, on that note, I didn’t recognize hardly any puzzles from the original game.
TBH… the Trace Memory bits feel like an entirely different game, that only used the same characters and, broadly, the same plot.
This is not a complaint, (well, aside from not being able to use the DS hardware creatively this time around), It’s very much a more polished experience this time around.
