This weekend, I’ll be continuing (finishing) the incredibly mundane task of switching my work-related notes from Catch Notes to Evernote. Thankfully, I’ll be mixing in some DuckTales: Remastered to break things up. I’m curious about this game. Several of my friends in the gaming business have been playing it and most of them are raving about it. I have fond memories of the original, but it’s been so long that I don’t remember why it was so much fun back in the day. Hopefully it’s a fun-filled escapade that blends classic platform gameplay with spruced up graphics. My fear is that it won’t be that good and will make me think, “Why did I like the original DuckTales so much in the first place?” Yes, that totally qualifies as a first-world problem.
How about you? What’s on your weekend playlist?
I’m in the midst of Tales of Xillia and Dragon’s Crown lol. And Splinter Cell Blacklist is coming out this week. But….Final Fantasy XIV: A Real Reborn open beta phase 4 released today through Monday. >_> So you’ll know where I will be lol.
Trying to run through halo 4 and gta 4 for best buy 100% trade in bonus. let me know what u think of ducktales ray!
I think you just have fond memories of the Duck Tales theme song.
I’ve seen mixed reviews online.
The problem is nostalgia. If it’s reviewed by a 30-some-year-old, it is inevitably compared to the original, if a younger, 20-something-year-old guy reviews it, then it’s a brand-new game with nothing to compare it to.
It’s really fascinating how past memories cloud our present judgment. Still, I suspect if the game is a giant, steaming turd, it would be universal. But from my reading, it seems to be fun enough, which means that nostalgia is the line between “good” and “great.”
