THO Simulator Is Your Chance To "Examine Damage" And, Erm, "Ensure Safe Roads" On Switch

I swear I also read THQ simulator

So I'm going to assume there's one of 2 things happening

1. The Nintendo Life staff deem Risk of Rain 2 too unimportant to report on at all

2. They are literally unaware that the game they reviewed and forgot about in its Early access stage exists still and is now complete

There is no other explanation that can possibly exist that gives reasoning as to why "THO Simulator" gets preferential posting - assumedly because it would get more interactions due to morbid curiosity.

@Abeedo : that’ll be easy, release lots of shovel ware then go bankrupt

I want an Ubisoft simulator

THQ simulator go bankrupt in 80 days! Hardcore mode go bankrupt in a week!

Finally, my chance to pilot the FGrWA Man-Kit1 is here!

The definition of niche.

@Abeedo As did I.

@Abeedo I did too, lol

I also thought someone made a THQ Simulator game.

I know its not THQ Simulator, but thats all I see when I look at it

I read it as THQ simulator. Learn the basics of how to develop a full portfolio, over-saturated with crap quality kids games licensed from popular franchises, sprinkled with management corruption and broken dreams.

THC Simulator?

i cant wait to ensure safe roads

@Coach_A I think everyone is just ignoring you and idk why because risk of rain 2 looked good and if it’s got new stuff then you would think that they would report on it instead of making 3 Steve’s meat articles.

@Coach_A I agree that it's important news, I just think that if they were to make an article now it would be because you have been asking for it, and it would open the floodgates for other people to continually beg for articles about their favorite games, and they would get upset if their requests were not fulfilled.
I have an idea, you should write up your own professional-grade announcement and post it in the comments of a brand new "what are you playing this week" article so that everyone will see it and then that will be that?

@Chlocean I appreciate the straight forward and helpful idea in your response.

I may do that, but it would also be a little bit disappointing if they let something like "he's asking for it so now we won't do it" be the reason not to report on a genuinely big Switch milestone.

I still believe it's the first Early access title to release on a Nintendo console and get patched to completion.

@Coach_A I'm not a member of staff and can't speak for them. But personally, your recent posts have made me not want to check out the game.

It's like "sigh, that again".

@Eel that's nice and edgy of you and all, but it's still news and you're associating frequent comments that you've chosen to let annoy you with a game experience that is of incredibly high quality.

Associating the two only means you've allowed my comments to negatively affect your perception of a quality game you've not played due to your bias towards this website due to your position and, therefore, identity as a Moderator.

@Coach_A it simply means you're being a bit annoying.

If the site is not reporting on these updates, it's most likely because the developer is not sending them anything to post about.

@Eel This website has numerous posts that are "sourced" from Twitter or Reddit. Many more based entirely on rumours that never come to fruition.

Hopoo games has made it very clear for a long time that the 1.0 release of Risk of Rain 2 would be coming to consoles this week. Since the last time this site reported on the game, it has received at least 2-3 major updates to performance and visuals that far exceed any other Switch game performance updates I've ever been aware of and multiple other news outlets have reported on them.

Not being sent material isn't really a valid reason

@Coach_A well, you see, the thing is, they report on random stuff when they think people will read these articles. And I'm really sorry, but that game just doesn't seem to be on many peoples radars. In my own experience, my only exposure to it is... You.

I do believe you should use the contact form to let the admins know about these things. It will be much more helpful, for both the site and the dev of that game, than trying to derail article comment sections.

@Eel the game sold over 1 million copies on Steam alone after its first month on sale in Early Access.

That was prior to the game's launch on consoles in Early Access and obviously the 1.0 patch on PC a few months ago and now on consoles as of this week.

Not to mention the game was featured in a Nintendo Direct which was my first exposure to it over a year ago before picking up the physical which included the prequel which has also been available on Switch for quite some time now.

You not being aware of its existence means nothing when talking about its broader appeal

@Coach_A and yet none of that is relevant to the discussion we are having.

Anyway. That was your second warning about the subject. Next time I see you spamming about the game, I’ll have to give you a temporary ban.
