i find there’s an increasing amount of snobbery with the final fantasy games in recent years. With a sort of universal agreement that 6 is best and a degree of vitriol if you go against that, personally speaking my faves change between 7, 9, 10 and 14 regularly, i’ve grown to love 10, and can really understand why it would be number 1. but i could make an argument for most of them tbh and that’s what’s good about the final fantasy series.
for what it’s worth, i completed this game on ios, and the thing that got both myself and my son hooked was the music. I think capy nailed it. Cans on and crank it up. sounds incredible.
@AlternateButtons I'm not sure you can say it's nonsense. Mine started about 3 months after launch, my son's started about 6 month after I bought it for him. My two friends who own switches have both sent theirs back, one multiple times , it's annoying and it's very real and nothing to do with 'not looking after hardware' my switch is immaculate.... It's a design fault plain and simple
Good, cos the joycons are trash. Great idea but the build is rubbish. I've posted this before but myself and pretty much everyone I know has had serious drift issues to the point of unplayable at one point or another.... Never had this on any other controller on any system that I can recall.
@Lameborghini handheld is my go to for RPGs these days, since the psp really, I find it more immersive that way and more convenient for chipping away at. I'd go Switch all day long if it was me, I held out on the PS4 version hoping for it to come to switch and I'm glad I did
Final fantasy XII and Sonic Team Racing. I'm surprised by the fairly negative reaction to Sonic Racing by commenters. I love Mario Kart, sunk hundreds of hours into it but I wouldn't even try to compare the two. STR is solid so far, Im loving the challenges and time trials and it feels much more like an out and out racer than a 'kart' game per se....I respect that it's trying to set itself apart and do something unique and Im sure I'm gonna get my money's worth out of it.
I was bitterly disappointed to be honest....I thought it looked great in all the previews.... But playing it I thought it was fairly dull. The aiming was woeful and twitchy (granted that could be me) , the mech moved at a snail's pace, the combat felt meh..... It actually strangely reminded me of Unit 13 on Vita. Pretty. But just.... empty.
@duffmmann Yeah I think it's exactly that though. They would HAVE to change the build . I don't think they can persevere with them as they are, it must effect so many people I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it. It's probably credit to it being such a great machine that's it's flown under the radar. That and you can send them way for repair/replace and still have a machine. Hardwire them as-is to a new switch and have to send the whole unit away would be a big problem....
They can't fuse the controller's. They'd have to actually work for more than 6 months. The drift on mine is ridiculous. My mate has had 3 yes, 3 send backs for repair. Every one I know who owns one has experienced drift at some stage... It's kinda getting silly.... Love my switch. Fave console at the moment....but seriously those joy cons need a redesign, the just aren't durable.
Cycling between Splatoon 2 with my son. New season of Diablo. Xenoblade 2 and Mario Odyssey..... Determined to actually finish games this year. I've started so many and not finished one of them other than BOTW
