Re: Review: AeternoBlade II - A Host Of Good Ideas Wiped Out By Shoddy Execution

lol @ random monsters HP. Actually that should be a positive point here and not negative. You gamers always wants reality reality in games... so not each human has the same strength neither an animal or a monster... some same breed, but with different power.. so when one is harder to kill it should be ok. It's better than knowing which monsters max HP is. You want reality right? here you go. It should be a Joys here. Well it's what it is

Re: Street Fighter Producer Says Fans Need To "Convince" Nintendo, If They Want More Entries On Switch

Alucard83

@Itachi2099 He just wants to see money. We do know some 3rd party studios they will ask money if a brand like Nintendo wants an exclusive title. Maybe thats what he pointing at. And you Nintendies got already Street Fighter collection and all... SF4 is ok. SF5 is horrid. Nothing to miss here. Maybe Nintendo should pay them so they can make exclusive Street Fighter Alpha 4, but of course in 2D as Street Fighter 3rd strike with widescreen. Bring bang Dramatic Battle and World Tour and voila we're good to go. Make it happen people

Re: Street Fighter 4 Producer Had A "Revolutionary" Idea To Make The Game A Turn-Based Simulation

Alucard83

They only need to add World Tour from Street Fighter Alpha 3. And just put normal arcade mode and vs mode. We don't need anything else. Make characters selectable from World Tour that you upgraded. using stuff from past games doesn't mean the new game will suffer because they didn't come up with something new. How many times do they need to fall to see... whats not broken don't fix it. street fighter alpha 3 dramatic battle should be included as well. And make it full 2/2.5d Street Fighter game

Re: The First Patch For Link's Awakening Is Probably Not The Fix You Were Hoping For

Alucard83

@Jaalsky Agreed. And the story they already had it. The only job they had is to remake the graphics. Everything was there already. It's not a new game and seeing the graphics... even with Zelda/Link name it doesn't justify this pricetag. It's very light/child game.. 60$/€ is just weird. Nintendo is really taking anything they can from customers wallet. They know the name is high so people will get it anyway. Well not from me. 40$/€ max and no penny more! nuff said

Re: Reggie Calls Wii U A "Failure Forward" Because It Led To Switch

Alucard83

I got later WII U after some pricedrop. Of course I was already spoiled with other systems with better quality in graphics. So when I got the Switch the gamepad itself the screen was a bit horrible to me. Low resolution. But it was also a time to adjust and then it became a little prettier. But the touch thing wasn't also that responsive at some times. It was low quality that's for sure. If it had more horsepower i'm very sure a lot more support from 3rd party gaming would be there. They already moved a lot from xbox 360 era and staying at that level it wasn't really rewarding so that's what I believe it didn't have much 3rd party support. Other hardware did better that's for sure. Switch made it right, but system is already old. Nintendo isn't really much focused anymore on hardware specs as much as they did in the past. To me Gamecube era was their best. Got the WII as well, but I didn't like it that it was around the first original xbox hardware specs wise.. I was like how can do this to the gamers Nintendo? you should've released a way better system with higher specs. But they didn't and I hated the motion controls.. Dragon Quest game forced to play it like slashing in the air. It's fun for 5 minutes but after that don't bore me. Well WII U i sold after 6 months... the most A++ titles were expensive even after the (near death WII U) it still had pricetag on their games like €60. And other games.... there wasn't enough for me so I sold it and never regretted. I'm going to wait for their next Switch system. So i'll be patient. I just hope it will have backward compability with the 1st switch games so I can buy those and play them. But the lower resolution puts me off.. Well enjoy gaming people

Re: Fighting Over What's 'Indie' And 'AAA' Harms The Industry, Says Sonic Mania And Cadance Of Hyrule Artist

Alucard83

@Silly_G Well you have to start somewhere. I guess that counts for other indies as well. My main issue is with most indie studios most graphics are even worse than a good looking 2D SNES game. In 2019 we are now and they can't match up those graphics. I heard/read somewhere it's expensive to make those graphics that were on SNES I believe. The indie has more games like flash studio or something. Not quite the same 2D high quality if you know what I mean

Re: Hardware Review: The PowerA Fusion FightPad Is Great For Retro, But Ironically Not So Good For Fighters

Alucard83

Another copy from Xbox controller I bet. Those D-pads are horrid. I had those on xbox 360 controllers. MS learned their lesson by not releasing such crappy D-pad.. other studios should take note on that. This is analog "d-pad". You can't play with that thing. You won't be able feel the D-pad as you should when you perform a special skill or super skill. Such a pitty. Don't buy it guys. Otherwise you're supporting it. Let them come up with a decent controller with everything good on and not half done

Re: Review: Dragon Quest II: Luminaries Of The Legendary Line - The 'Difficult Second Album' Of Enix's Classic Series

Alucard83

This score is very low. Yes it might be coming from the mobile the background graphics, but those are actually very fine. And the updated sprites yes it doesn't really fit in, but it's not that bad. And the gameplay is still the same as the SNES version. And Dragon Quest games aint for noobs. You do need to grind a bit experience points so you level up. You clearly don't have the patience or disliking the game to give this such low score. I just adore this game and all the Dragon Quest games. This should be at least a 6, but only because they used the ugly sprites. It should've been pixels too as the background with CRT filter then everyone would've been happy

BTW these graphics are still better than most indie games... and those gets easily an 8... doesn't really sound good.. does it? Well each is own

Re: Rumour: Nvidia's New Tegra X1+ Chip Could Make Switch Performance "Up To 25% Faster"

Alucard83

People people 25% is almost nothing. Why? Because I do remember an article about ps3 games running on ps4. They said to be able to emulate those old games the hardware needed to be 10x be stronger than the ps3 to be able to emulate those ps3 games correctly and which the ps4 is/were. 25% CPU upgrade is really nothing. If it's right about this.. this means ps4 is 10x= 400% cpu stronger than the ps3. See? 25% in this doesn't really a good boost at all. Nintendo is exactly doing the same thing with 3ds... first release it at worse edition... we know it ran decent, but it could be be better and eventually they upadet the cpu so you could have better performance. Nintendo does it again. They really can't be bothered to go much higher than 25%... which means also guys if it is for the next Switch don't expect 8gb.. they will go 6gb. WII U had 2gb... Switch 4gb.. and the next one since it's only 25% 6gb.

What I wrote is for if this is a Switch 2.. then it's bad. But if it's coming as a Switch Pro... then I don't have any issue. But Sony is planning release a next gen hardware nex year already. Nintendo will be wayyyy behind. It will become the true indie hardware (which already is) sometimes a few top A++. I'm just dissapointed as Nintendo fan... 25% is really small improvement if it would be for the Switch 2. For Switch Pro I guess it's fine

Re: Nintendo Celebrates 10 Million Switch Console Sales Across Europe

@Starvald I totally don't care for Mario Maker. Each his own of course. But New Super Mario Bros game to me is way better and fun. Who wants to waste time to create levels you made yourself and knowing all the secrets and takes time before you really can play. To me it doesn't work. I need it ready as it is

Re: Free Demos For Resident Evil 5 And 6 Appear On Nintendo Switch, Full Game File Sizes Revealed

Alucard83

@HobbitGamer what you need is a cheat code for infinite ammo and health. go PC version and activate you will face them knowing you can't die and that's how your mind will become stronger and you will eat them even for breakfast or even at night time when you start playing these typ of games. These games doesn't do anything for me anymore. You just have to pass the fear and know it's just a game. Learn to let it go and voila you're good to go

Re: Review: BurgerTime Party! - Too Many Cooks Spoil The Burger

Alucard83

This game is surely not for everyone. When I see a game like this I click most of the time off cos no interest even in the review. I can see by the looks of the game if the game is for me. Such amazing thing to know already you won't like the game by seeing just the graphics. It gets or doesn't. Bye bye and enjoy people who loves these games

Re: Nintendo Switch SNES Controllers Are Back In Stock In "Limited Quantities" (Europe)

Alucard83

Europe have always limited quantities when it comes to gaming. It's like very little interest in gaming. I never understood why Europe got ignored most of the time when it came to USA games they had more than half from JP already... while Europe with a bit luck very well known games came to Europe. Now seeing this reminds me again it's like Europe people aren't really buying that much.. The sales says enough i guess... or keep doing what they did with europe in the past... to ignore or because they are to lazy to translate to certain languages... well their loss. I'm not buying a single one of it just because of this

Re: Link's Awakening Sold More Than 430,000 Copies Across Europe In Its First Three Days

Alucard83

@the_beaver Agreed. I hope this will open Nintendo eyes. You're giving an old game in new cote. Doesn't mean it justifice the price. It's a simple game and you even have FPS issues... and you still dare to ask that kind of money! That's why I haven't bought any N product after the WII U. They are making totally abuse of their name and all their games stays even after 4 or 5 years still 60 euro. Maybe when a classic version comes then you can get it for 40 euro. At least other companies even their A++ titles drops to 30 or 20 euro sometimes. Why can't you Nintendo? Nintendo is the most expensive hardware to own. Period! And don't you dare to deny it

Re: Mario Kart Tour Races Ahead With 90 Million Downloads In Its First Week

Alucard83

I'm surprised about the sales. like for real? Hate gaming on mobile. You always have to be online to be checked (most games) and it eats a lot of battery and it's on small screen and it's half function due no controller. (sure you can plugin a controller these days) But i rather plug a controller in my PC and play it from there for full experience. Mobile games... especially 3d feels like a demo
