Was in the closed Beta. Tried 3 times finally got it this time.
It is actually pretty good. The world is beautiful and fantastic to explore. And even in the beta you have tons to do. Once you get 3 characters to switch in and out of, gameplay opens up a lot.
Still has Some performance issues on PS4. I think PC is really the safe bet for this one in general. I liked it, so definitely jumping in as soon as it comes out.
@Dang69 I do not know if an 8 or a 9 or a 7. You can say it had a Nintendo Life Exclusive bump.
I am referring to the point that battles are not great, but they also not a "zero" (you even have 3 types of fights in world). And it is just 1 part of the game. The more I play it, the more I think that it is not enough to bring the entire game down.
My trip back to the city on Sunday, I figured out a few things in-world, laughed out loud over something that happened doing it and I did a few battles to buy extra health mushrooms. And as a whole, I was entertained.
Exploring and moving things along is fun. Battles are not great, but they do not ruin everything else. Basically the Nintendo Life review was spot on.
I had an issue on how many times they interrupt you during the first 2 streamers. Seemed like I could not take 5 steps without a text bubble. But It has settled down for now.
I rented it because seemed risky. But now glad I did. It is not a classic, but worth playing.
2020 has been awful so far. I've played Paper Mario on Switch - That is it. If I wanted to play Dex, I would have 3 years ago. That has been the story on Switch, over and over.
WiiU years were rough but that was expected - I bet on the wrong horse, things would go down hill. But at 56+ Million Switch, this should not be happening.
For £26.99 sounds like they did a great job. What they did with lighting is impressive for a handheld game.
Puts all the broken full price rehash to shame.
But as always, not everyone has portability as their main objective. This was already rejected on PS4/X1/PC so goes to reason some Switch owners will be disappointed also.
PS4- 34%
PC - 20%
Xbox -19%
Mobile - 12%
Switch - 11%
Obviously Switch is not a priority. Would Not expect anything that requires a big investment to get done. More Just Dance for sure. They have done little effort.
Not played any of that stuff the last 6 months. The Mrs got bored of Clubhouse Games, was worth a try regardless. I got NBA2K for free on PS4, not played it yet.
But here in the States the general top 10 of 2020 does not look like that. Japan is another world when it comes to gaming.
Switch games should not be $70. They are not even at PS4 standards most of the time when it comes to production values.
As for PS5. PC games are $60 and already run at 4K and with RayTracing. So not like those production cost are new. Nobody is charging me an extra $10 because I play on Ultra on my PC.
If games end up at $70. I'll rent more from gameFly and buy more used games on Amazon Warehouse. Make it average out the same for the year as now.
@TheFullAndy Because LM3 met people's expectations on what a game should look like. And commented on how great it looked. Same way people loved Bayo2 hit 60fps - it met an "expectation" and tons of comments on how happy they were. It cant be surprising when people come out and comment that another game on switch does not meet those expectations.
It was an example that it is the same thing, just in reverse. It cant be valid one way but yet invalid the other when not convenient.
PS4/X1 and PC owners already said they were not satisfied with this. Switch owners can do the same.
"Whatever point you are trying to make you are failing spectacularly"
So move on. Not sure why people keep treating public comment sections as personal chats directed at them 🙄
@JimmySpades In Holiday 2019 it was $250,... tons of people have bought it at that price (even less for an X1). And Whatever it is now with corona, 300, 350... does not change my point that people not comparing this to a 1,000 PC. Tons of gaming PC are not even 1K. Not sure why you did not go price police on that.
And I have said it already,.. this is 27 bucks. So for a Switch budget game it is fine. But if anyone says it is not good enough, I do not lie with the "does not matter" company line BS. Because when the Switch actually does something that looks decent, everyone notices it.
@TheFullAndy I am not struggling to understand anything. What people are struggling to understand is that when the Switch can't meet expectations some do not just accept it.
And they comment, I will wait to play it on whatever else they have or they do not want to pay it like that at all. That should not come as a surprise to anyone reading comments anymore.
Another reason why best not to be stuck with only one system. Assuming, Not getting P6 on PS4/PS5 anytime soon, so glad this is still coming To Switch..
But I thought cutscenes trailers during online presentations where nothing to get excited about 😉

Re: Random: Bloober Team's Mind-Bending The Medium Was Intended For The Wii U Almost A Decade Ago
"tech of the period wasn't quite up to the task"
Well good thing they jumped ship. Nintendo still not that far from WiiU/PS3 levels 🙄
Saw it at $45 on Steam, this could end up a buy on PC. Even better if it ends up on PC Game Pass
Re: Review: Crysis Remastered - A Technical Miracle And One Of The Best Shooters On Switch
@VegasKeith I see. I am the opposite, My Steam collection is my main library and eats up most of my time.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Missed E3 This Year?
For PS4 and PC. Not really, all the 3rd publishers have announced their stuff as we go. And make a big enough splash to know it happened.
For Switch, everyone is at sleep at the wheel. But not sure E3 would have changed that.
Re: Review: Crysis Remastered - A Technical Miracle And One Of The Best Shooters On Switch
@VegasKeith Pretty safe to say that if someone payed £1,000 for a PC to play games. Portability is not the main "Big Deal" to them.
Re: Earthlock 2 Might Not Make It To Nintendo Switch, It Seems
Played the first one on Switch. Liked it, it was fine. I'll play this one on PC just like when Deliver Us the Moon got canceled on Switch this year.

Re: Suikoden Creators Crowdfunding New JRPG Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
Ill support it. Love the look. But I find the best bet for KickStarter games is sticking to PC+Digital.
I did the Switch funding level for Inkulinati. So always exceptions.

Re: Japanese Charts: Paper Mario Loses Out To Ghost Of Tsushima On Debut
Ghost is a great game, stunning world. Liking Origami King also.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 25th)
1. Ghost of Tsushima
2. Paper Mario Origami King
3. F12020
Re: The Team Behind Konami's Classic Suikoden Is Creating A Spiritual Successor
Amazing, that looks fantastic.
I joined up to hit the Switch stretch goal for Inkulinati. If this is open to everyone, 100% will help fund it also.
Re: PES On Nintendo Switch Is "Getting Closer", Says Series Brand Manager
As soon as I saw UE I thought - now we can have a Switch version.
If EA not going to put any effort on Switch with FIFA, maybe PES can fill the slot.
Re: Sega Brings Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis To Nintendo Switch In 2021
“Cloud based” can actually work well. Be interested to see it in action on Switch. Cross progression with PC would be good news also.
Have it installed on my PC. A good update/upgrade Is needed. Some of it is a bit rough at this point.
Re: New Story DLC For The Outer Worlds Is Coming To Nintendo Switch In The Future
@JimmySpades Anywhere.
PC Gamers can be Switch players, PS4 can be mobile players and so on. Just say what your gaming habits are. No need to filter.
Re: New Story DLC For The Outer Worlds Is Coming To Nintendo Switch In The Future
Just playing this on PC Game Pass for $5 ended up being the right decision.
Seems like they just can’t get it together when it comes to The Switch.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes Of An Elusive Age - Definitive Edition Is No Longer Exclusive To Switch
This is just the version with the handful of extra DLC and audio that was only on the Switch version. Main game was not exclusive to Switch.
Anyway, finished it on PS4 sold it and got the PC one for my collection. Not playing the entire game over to play a few extra story quest.
Same reason I never bought it again on Switch.
Re: Watch Out, Your Username Can Make Crysis Unplayable On Switch
@rjejr Well, always good to have priorities straight 😉
Thanks, I saw it. I am at the end of #2 and splitting my time with Ghost of Tsushima. So hopefully by the time I get there it will be fixed.
Re: Random: What's Worse Than Getting Another 'Legacy Edition?' FIFA 21's Box Art, Apparently
Not sure why NL keeps covering EA FIFA news at this point 🙄
People are going to eat that trailer up. Cover, not that much. It is horrid.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd July (North America)
Just a lot of 2nd tier stuff. Have Ghost of Tsushima, Paper Mario and F12020, So I’m fine for a while.
Carrion is on PC Game Pass so I’ll check it out there and save $20. Just curious on how it plays.
Re: Watch Out, Your Username Can Make Crysis Unplayable On Switch
@rjejr huh, in Origami King? did I miss something? I am at the end of the 2nd streamer.
Crap, time to Google - great thing about working from home you can drop everything when these "emergencies" come up 😅🤣
Re: Free GRID Autosport Updates Will Add Multiplayer And Labo Support On Switch
@sixrings Yeah, they should just take this engine and make an F1 game.
Re: Free GRID Autosport Updates Will Add Multiplayer And Labo Support On Switch
Meh, uninstalled a while back. Playing it because there was nothing else - that does not last long with me.
All my time goes into practicing on F12020 for when I go online races (last F1 races have been great, so more motivation) and daydreaming of Dirt 5.
Codematers Switch support is awful. Release something new already.

Re: Hori's Pac-Man Split Pad Pro For Switch Is So Gorgeous We Want To Gobble It Up
Nice.
Love my Hori Daemon X Version. Having back buttons is fantastic and the size is great. I totally recommend it.
👉It has no gyro/motion sensor👈
So keep that in mind If something you use a lot. (Mine does not, not sure this new model)

Child of Light 2 would be nice.

Day 1 for me. So happy it is coming West, need to send cash their way.

Re: Rocket League Is Going Free-To-Play This Summer
“we’re introducing cross-platform progression with free to play”
This was what I was waiting for. Did not want to loose my stuff or be stuck on Switch when at home.
Wish WarFrame would do this also.
Re: Phil Spencer Shuts Down Idea Of Xbox Game Pass Coming To Other Platforms
Game Pass for Indies would be great on Switch. Tons of the stuff people paying $19/$29 are on the service.
I personally just need it on PC. That is enough for me.
Re: Crytek Reveals Docked And Handheld Resolutions For Crysis Remastered On Switch
@Rodan2000 it is not as good as their $250 PS4 or X1 either.
Also, there were 100 videos on how great Luigi Mansion 3 graphics were. Can’t only matter when convenient.
Re: Crytek Reveals Docked And Handheld Resolutions For Crysis Remastered On Switch
This is the version that people rejected as a lazy port on every other platform and they had to pull the plug on the release 🤦♂️🙄
At least They know to release it as a budget priced game.
It Should have cross save with PC. People who want the best experience at home can just get both.
Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?
I got Ryza 2. So 1 new game on the list (even if 4-5 months from now) is an improvement from endless rehash or being skipped.
A cutscene trailer of a game for 2021, does not help my Switch from collecting dust on my desk in 2020 🙄
This all could have been a press release. Nintendo needs a real Direct.
Re: UK Charts: Paper Mario: The Origami King Loses Out In The Battle For Number One
Not surprised. I did the same and bought Ghost of Tsushima first. It is a fantastic game. Always great to see a new IP Start off well.
Paper Mario is coming next week as a rental.
Ghost of Tsushima sold 4X the amount of Origami King. So a big gap between #1 and everything else on that list
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Is Getting A Simultaneous Global Launch On Nintendo Switch Next Year

Re: Dead By Daylight For Switch Is Receiving Cross-Play And Cross-Progression
Very nice.
Switch cross progression with PC should become a standard for games that have both release.
Re: Review: Vigor - Stealthy Scavenging Marred By Technical Issues
You can get the Division 2 for $9. Watch Netflix on the bus. Better off both at home and on the GO than being stuck with this.

Re: Activision Says It's Evaluating Additional Platforms For Crash Bandicoot 4
By the time it comes to Switch. It would have been rented and played on PS4.
Always better than playing the waiting game on Switch..
Re: Feature: Upcoming Nintendo Switch RPGs To Look Out For In 2020
Bravely Default 2. That is about it.
Cris Tales ill play when it eventually hits PC Game Pass. Service has become an Indie Netflix.
Re: 2D Open-World Crafting Game Forager Receives A Major Update
Oh wow. This just popped up on PC Game Pass. I'll check it out.
Re: Video: Crysis Remastered 'Tech Features' Trailer Shows The Game Running On Switch
@nathatruc Yeah, but the other platforms get the actual remastered version. Something for @BrintaPap put in the +/- columns with trophies and so on.
Re: Video: Crysis Remastered 'Tech Features' Trailer Shows The Game Running On Switch
£26, looks fine to me.
Question is how low does Dynamic resolution actually go. Aiming down A barrel at 540p is awful.
Re: Poll: Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
#1 on my GameFly list just waiting my slot.
But does not look like I got it in the main wave. Maybe next week.
