Fair enough. I suppose it depends on where the "middle point" is set. Since the Middle East is just East of Europe, I think that makes much of Europe Middle-Earth. Even if that's not true I like calling it that regardless. :lol:


For the most part I agree. There are a few gems, but nearly every concept was later done better on SNES and GBA. To be fair, however, NES was when gaming was in it's infancy, all games had rough edges, a lot even being text-input based. The fact that Nintendo just pulled these ideas and franchises from thin air is still very impressive to this day, and there's nothing like a little old school difficulty occasionally, to check your video game ego.

I just...I don't know, like with the Switch NES Online thing, there are few gems, but a lot of them feel like turds. I can't seem to get engaged in any of them for more than 10 min tops.

That's fine, like I said you'd be better-served playing SNES/GBA sequels for most stuff. I still enjoy Excitebike (had the Gameboy version), Ice Climbers, and the original Donkey Kong. The thing is that these games were all arcade-type gameplay because they had to be on the low-spec hardware of NES. You either like that or you don't, and it's fine if you don't, given all the better and newer games to play.

Snes is wayyyy better then Nes. But I am a big fan of the castlevania games on nes. Japanese Castlevania 3 with its enhanced music is awesome. Kirby is good, metroid, megaman, ducktales, contra, ninja gaiden, zelda, mario, punchout are all good

Glasses-less 3D should have became a standard feature for devices a long time ago.
Same for motion controllers with traditional controls.
18:9 should become a standard for all devices, not just phones.

Shadow the Hedgehog was a good game. Guns and all. Should have been improved on and made into a series.

I don't think it is fair to lump up the Sun/Moon series and OR/AS with LGP/LGE.

NASCAR has no good reason to exist. People don't even watch it for the race, they're just waiting for someone to crash. There are plenty of other sports which are action-packed from beginning to end, and somehow they manage to not use up thousands of gallons of finite fossil fuels in the process.
I don't watch NASCAR, but what if they switch to electric cars?

Well, here's probably something I will recieve a truckload of shit for:

Ocarina of Time isn't the timeless classic -pun intended- that everyone makes it up to be. It's good game, much better than most current microtransaction-filled AAA games, but it hasn't aged that well. It was way ahead of its time twenty years ago, sure, but some if not most of its mechanics nowadays feel convoluted, clunky and generally just... outdated. Put into prespective, many other classic retro games have aged much better (Doom or Metal Gear Solid for example) while OOT simply isn't as enjoyable as it originally was.

KH story is easy to understand. You just need to play the freaking games.
And: yes, js is a bad programming language. Well indeed, any language with weak type (or is it typing? Sorry, not an english speaker here) is bad. Usefull, but bad.

DKS2 is honestly super overhated, the game has issues but its not a bad game at all. Far better than demons souls imo. That being said, I could never justify putting it above Bloodborne which is one of the best games of the decade.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE Bloodborne. About a week ago, my brother wanted us to make a top 100 video game list. As for where I put the Souls games on my list, Bloodborne was number 9 and DSII was number 8. Despite not have really good boss fights, the sheer amount of content, custom-ability, build variety, as well as the best lore in the series (my opinion), I like DSII a bit more than BB.
