Endless Ocean such a lost cause it can't even get a joke hint.
The Jeff guy is giving himself a 30 day window of wiggle room. Even then, he can claim it's just a wild card, so it was never guaranteed. 😑😑😑
He said he calls them wildcard cause they're unpredictable. He never said anything related to a date or a 30 day window.
I'm expecting a direct soon.
But that tweet isn't really saying much. Essentially "there might be a direct in the next 30 days"
Yeah, I've made a top 10 favorite games of the decade list, but I struggle to make a top 10 favorite games ever list. I'd need to dedicate an entire day to think about that haha
There have been multiple people saying next week. I feel like many of you are deliberately cherry picking the worse case scenarios just so you can feel depressed.
Or,
I was going to sleep last night, than i thought it may be Eternal Darkness and i said to myself i shouldn't sleep.
Maybe when its Zero hour i can go sleep before sunshine, than i just went to party to play sport games.
For the love of god, not everything i say is a hint, yes i played mario party for 640 hours and that wasn't a hint for anything.
Grim fandango for me... it's my favorite point and click ever
Nintendo Direct begins.
The Direct title video plays
and then...
And then you wake up and realize you have been in a coma for the last 20 years.
I couldn't see what was right before my eyes!
Anyways, random top 10 games put together in five minutes:
- Persona 5: The Royal
- Paper Mario: TTYD
- Paper Mario 64
- Skyrim
- Animal Crossing
- GTA V
- Dying Light
- Fallout: New Vegas
- Star Wars Battlefront II (Original)
- Goof Troop

There's plenty of things I could feel depressed about, video games isn't one of them.
Again, I'm expecting a direct soon, there's too much rumbling, but that particular tweet really isn't doing much for me.
Don't think my post is unreasonable.
Need some help all:
Untitled Goose game
Lonely Mountain Downhill
What the Golf
I have a 20$ eShop card and need to choose one

The sunshine will rise anew tomorrow, but the galaxy is forever. May there be 64 days remaining until the unknown tundra arrives. The Captain of Tsubasa scores a goal and the team wins.
Ah, but that's where you're wrong! Nintendo will add a Dunban profile picture so they can have another tweet of "That's Dunban over there!" But with an image of the profile picture now!

I don't know how and I don't know why but this 100% for sure confirms MPT for October /s
It's pretty shocking how similar our opinions and experiences are! Majora's Mask, Breath of the Wild, and Ocarina of Time are my top 3. Majora's Mask is my favorite game of all time, though I concede that BotW and possibly OoT are better games. Wind Waker is superb, but doesn't quite hit the highs of the aforementioned 3 for me. Twilight Princess is a really good game, but it's never been my favorite Zelda by any stretch, though I'm excited to revisit it whenever it hits Switch. I also never played Skyward Sword for that exact reason! I was burned out pretty hard on my Switch by 2011 and I certainly wasn't going to pay for Wiimote +. Fingers crossed super tight that BotW evokes MM in tone and atmosphere!!!
I don't know if it's necessarily obscure, but I'm pretty confident Playdead's Inside is in my top 10. Possibly the best indie ever made imo.
Yeah, it's really getting ridiculous lol. I can see why you take breaks from the thread
imo less likely than Mother 4, F-ZERO NX, and Metroid Prime 4 being shadowdropped tomorrow for free
Let me tell you why Might and Magic 7 is both criminally underrated and under...known?
-There's no better feeling of progression in an RPG than in this game.
Your start off with a party of 4 that you create, giving them a race, class, and distribute stats and skills. Now, skills are the secret best part of this game. Every class has different skills they can master differently. Meaning, many classes can learn the leather armor skill but only some can increase to expert level, even fewer can get to master level and only one can reach grandmaster.
You put points into these skills and they increase various stats, like adding points to leather armor at novice level reduces the cooldown by that many points after you get hit. Doing it at expert level adds a point to your armor class for each point. Then at master each point adds to your elemental resistances. Then at grandmaster all of the previous bonuses are doubled (aka the points put into the skill are effectively doubled).
Now, apply this to all like 25 skills in the game, ranging from simple weapon skills (sword, bow) to the schools of magic (fire, air) to things like alchemy and identify item. All of the skills confer different bonuses as you add points to them and as you level them up to higher tiers.
Now, here's the twist- leveling up your skill requires you to have a certain amount of points (4 for expert, 7 for master, 10 for grandmaster) but also requires you to find a teacher somewhere out in the world. And pay them. The game is designed very well in this respect, the early areas have a lot of expert teachers in most of the towns, but master teachers are hard to find, and grandmaster teachers can only be found/used after doing a quest for them. So in that way progression is heavily tied to exploration.
Not only are skills upgradable like this, but so are classes. You can start out as a Paladin but upon exploring a bit you'll find someone who will promote you to Crusader if you complete his quest to slay a particular blue dragon. This promotion unlocks new skill levels for you and substantially increases many of your stats. Then after a story choice you will be able to do another promotion quest to become either a Hero or a Villain.
Leveling up in general requires you to find a training center and pay them a small fee for each level you've earned (you need the requisite amount of xp for each level). Leveling up gives you more HP and MP and 1 skill point each time. But more often than not you'll find yourself leveling up each character like 5 times per visit to the training center, which is a lot of fun.
All of this makes for extremely satisfying progression because while you're slowly putting in the work of killing monsters and getting XP you know that these huge instant payoffs are waiting for you. And the entire game is like that. Finding a new spell shop can instantly change the way you play. Learning the "fly" spell basically lets you stay permanently out of reach from melee attacks and lets you explore like a whole new 20% of the game, instantly. Learning town portal lets you instantly teleport to any then previously visited, when previously you'd have to walk or take some kind of transportation which costs money and uses food (the trips take days).
Basically, you get these instant, huge progression advances throughout the game, constantly. It's unlike almost any other RPG I've ever played in that respect (barring M&M6 and 8)
This has been part 1 of why more people need to play Might and Magic 7. Tune in next time for part 2, story!

When you are married and have kids you do alot of things or nothing at all
Why is it so hard to believe that Jeff knows what he's doing?
let's dispel with this fallacy that Jeffy Grubb Grubb doesn't know what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's doing
Fair play, I wish my wife would even play 30 minutes of games with me instead of telling me to get off the tv because the real housewives are on
a Thursday? sounds like we've got our date for the next general Direct
next week was a red herring everybody, let's buckle up for the last leg of our trip
Maybe I should try it and play with my mother 3 times a week
Haven't been around these parts much lately. More direct rumors I see. Is it going to actually happen this time dudes and dudettes?
Would you really? Let's think about this. Most Mario Maker levels are just awful. Mario is much simpler to design. They also did a rudimentary dungeon maker in Link's Awakening, and it seems the general consensus was that it's so bad that nothing at all would have been preferable. So would you really want a Zelda maker?
