Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come To Switch?

Aneira

Lost Odyssey is an odd one to throw in amongst all these well known games. The author must have a special love for it. Nevertheless it's got my vote. It was a great game.

That being said, I'd like to challenge the headline. It should say "What Xbox Games Would You Like To See Come to Nintendo".
I don't think the Switch will see many Xbox Games if any beyond the ones already announced. The new hardware will get these, not the Switch. Grounded looks like ass. Not a great effort bringing these kind of games to Switch and Halo and Gears is totally out of the question. Those will remain as Xbox Exclusives. I'll bet my third testicle on that.

Re: Xbox's Pentiment Is Getting A Limited Run Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Coming Soon

@EVIL-C
I understand what you are getting at. I just don't think these games would see a physical release otherwise. But what you want is for them to change their business model. It's not that simple though. Many of these games does not sell enough numbers. Therefore a limited print makes sense. You are right though that the fomo aspect is what drives their sales and that is definitely unhealthy for consumers.

Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?

@StAmbrosius

C64 is a computer, not a console. Thus you have been playing computer games, not video games.
I dont remember my first computer game other than it was on the VIC20.
My first video game was either Petch or Pacman in the Arcade. First console game was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for NES. That game sold me on the console 👍

Re: Nintendo Launches Subscription Service For Switch Repairs In Japan

All controllers in the world get drift problems at some point when enough dust slips inside. Some are just designed better, so that it happens much later.
I've had my joycons since 2017 and none of them drifts. I never really use them either, but my Pro Controllers, which I use all the time have drift issues.

Re: Review: Fall Guys - The World’s Most Chaotic Game Show Lands On Switch, Now F2P

I realize my comment might have come across as solely flaming Fall Guys as a game, potentially provoking users who like the game. That was not the intention.

I never apologize. I'm sorry, but that's just who I am. (Simpson's quote)

I will try again.

I played the game a lot on PS4 a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was also quite good at it, which often helps a lot in liking these type of games.

I mostly enjoy playing games on Nintendo Switch. Not handheld though, only play in docked mode on the big screen. So I was looking forward to playing Fall Guys again on Switch embracing all those crowns I had no doubt was waiting for me.

Yes, the servers are obviously under severe pressure and it takes a long time getting a game going, but that's not the point. I can accept all that.

I finally got a game going and got a 2nd place. It's also not about not winning and being a sore loser. It's the flow of the game on Switch. It's probably an okay/fine experience if you've only played it on Switch. But coming from playing a lot of Fall Guys on PS4, I found the game on Switch nearly unplayable in comparison. Not because the menu lags like *ss, but because the flow in game feels like constant frame drops. You will know this if you have played it on another platform. Being crossplay it's like facing Goliath with David, only this time David's slingshot is broken.

A perfect example is the stage "Hex-A-Gone". On other platforms you can easily navigate your... (what are they called? Guys?)... around the hexes in a precise maneuver clearing alle hexes before dropping down to the next level. That is NOT possible on Switch. Turn your guy and he's already left the hex before your input is registered on screen.

The game should have no problem running just as fine on Switch. We've seen much meatier games run fine, so I think it's lazy and unprofessional by the developers. Either they are just not skilled enough at making a proper port or they just don't care. It's not like they haven't had plenty of time to get it running.
