Hmm, complicated feelings; I like aspects of Kingdom Hearts in the same way that I like aspects of shonen anime; I'm a sucker for lore and action, but in no way, would I recommend this series or anime, in general, to others. Why would I? I haven't lost sight of how terrible the voice acting and characters are, how superficial the reasons I like these things are, or how I first started liking these things when I was a child. That's ultimately the truth of it right there, shonen anime and, by extension, Kingdom Hearts are for children! Keep in mind, I'm still going to buy KH3, and I'll still keep watching shonen anime, but I've accepted, long ago, that these products won't respect my intelligence or even my time, and if I'm not satisfied, odds are its because this stuff is not for me, the adult me, anymore. Personally, I've branched out to games and anime that are actually created with adult viewers in mind, and those are the products that I'm going to hold to a higher standard and recommend to my peers if they turn out good. But not Kingdom Hearts...not Naruto...Good luck Brad and Ben, definitely no worries if you stop this feature early, but hey maybe you'll end up liking it! The odds are against you at this point in your lives, but it's not impossible!
Did the coins in Super Mario 64 always look that cool? Maybe nostalgia regarding anything Mario has finally hit me, but I kinda wish Nintendo went back to the older coins...
@wollywoo: His viewpoint makes sense if you take into consideration his long history of not leading a lifestyle that's conducive to portable gaming. He drives to and from work and values the size and woomph of home entertainment. Personally, the portability of this device went out the window when the size of the portable component of the Switch became more apparent. I would personally be terrified to take that thing anywhere public...seems like a golden opportunity for any thief out there who thought his or her biggest score that day would be an iPhone or 5 bucks in cash and a few already cancelled credit cards. Therefore, I really only disagree with your first point. 2-4: we'll just have to wait until more information about upcoming titles and see if Nintendo decides to actually use their crazy control schemes, Switch's 3DS-esque functionality, and motion controls or not.
Seeing that small snippet of Alex playing Rock Band triggered some real painful/joyous nostalgia for the hundreds of hours I spent playing that series at my high school (boarding school). Games of the generation IMO, but only because I could always find three other people to play with me at literally any time every day for four years straight. Will never be the case again, ah youth. :(. Super happy Giantbomb via Alex can give me some expert play to watch in bulk. Gonna check that entire stream out ASAP.
Sorry Daniel, but Jeff rules the roost as coach. He provides helpful input, isn't constantly yelling, and just lets Brad play the damn game. And hilarity still ensued! I do love Dan though, and after watching the Elusive Target: The Broker competition, I think future Hitman competitions with Jeff/Brad and Dan/Vinny being the new rival teams could be awesome. Dan in the driver seat with Vinny coaching, so to speak haha, was great to watch!
