You don't understand the meaning of an open pre-order?

@AnnoyingFrenzy
So who is the main protagonist if not Ryu?
He's massively figuring as the central character in the opening sequence of Super Street Fighter 2.

It's incredible that directors never learn or listen.

Since when did anyone want an anime based on a video game "changing things around" ? Remember when TMNT did that?
So you all wanted to see your favorite characters like Krang etc. but no... make way for the samurai and this guy on a horse.

Space Channel 5 was awesome.

I liked Galactrix more

@Ratmasterd21
When they add Superman 64, that's when you know it's run dry.

@Fizza
If you look again Mario wouldn't be running down, but falling down due to his posture being horizontal with the stairs. The conclusion would be that he is running up the stairs.
From our point of view, we are only seing the side of each stair, not the top of them.

Rise/Sunbreak needs more siege battles with huge monsters.
Jhen Mohran, Nakarkos or the sorts is really missed.

@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 👍

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.

If you buy a product that needs 6 repairs a year, it's obviously not a good product.

@River3636
Where have I seen that avatar before?
Is it Mikhail from Xenoblade?

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.

@Abeedo
You are absolutely right. Being able to spend crowns on costumes was the sole thing that motivated me and brought meaning to the game.

@steventonysmith
Thank you. I most definitely will.

I played FF7 back when it released. It was massive and the best game I've ever played at that place in time. It also happened to be my first experience with a Final Fantasy game.
I bought FF8 straight after and that was no where near the same delightful experience I had with FF7.

The funny thing is though, when I finally played FF6... I think 2010 maybe... so many years after it's release. Dated graphics etc. I still felt... even in 2010... that FF6 was a better game. To this day it still ranks as my favorite in the entire series.

(Ps... I like the FF13 trilogy and I hate FF15.
Different strokes for different folks, as they say)

Fantastic to finally see Lucent Nargacuga return. Best subspecies ever.

I played Fifa yesterday (22) for the first time since Fifa 15 (which was actually a great Fifa entry). How did they manage to ruin a perfectly fine footie game so much? It's beyond embarrassing. It was zero fun. Dead zero. I'd rather tend to the garden or clean someone elses car than play that again.

Mario Strikers looks like the best football game we can hope for these days. And it's not even a real football game. Says it all.

@Shambo
That's not quite how their limited print works.
It's not a fixed amount. It's an open preorder which means quantities are in fact not limited but unlimited until the preorder window closes. At that point the amount is fixed and sent for manufacture at Nintendo. The more copies they sell, the more money they make.

The pros for this model is that everyone can get a copy opposed to the model Super Rare Games uses.

The cons for this model is you won't get your game shipped anytime soon. Most likely between 9-12 months after you have paid.

What happened to the Night in the Woods release?

@Abeedo
Agree. One should think they could easily afford to have a distributing office in Europe for their customers to avoid the massive taxing fees for shipping overseas. Should generate enough extra sales to make a profit.

@Sonos
Oh, it was meant as a joke. Didn't know you were actively looking to get offended. I love Rise myself. I just don't see the point in pre-ordering. It's not like a digital game can't be purchased on the day of release. If there were a discount for pre-ordering it would make sense.

@Sonos
Cartman once said that preordering is like taking a big D in your mouth. We all know he got it right.

I hope we see a lot more new and/or returning monsters besides the 9 which we know about at this point.

A usual rule of thumb for a Monster Hunter G-Rank expansion is about 20-30 new monsters on top of base game.

Also we really, I mean really!... need some good siege battles. Nothing comes close to the greatness of Jhen Mohran from 3U. Rise is lacking those kind of quests.

@JeanPaul
It was lost already with MH World.

GEN U is the last game where it really flourished.

@Joeynator3000
I've spent countless hours online in 3U. Never seen anything of the sorts you mention.

@iLikeUrAttitude
I think you'll see people shifting toward lobbies as soon as G-Rank quests gets too tough. You only want to fail a quest so many times before you look for a lobby that focuses on a specific quest/monster which means people are better prepared.

@Anachronism
My first experience was Tri and I quickly switched to 3 Ultimate, when that was released. I also liked the underwater segments.
Dire Miralis was my first encounter with one of the Black Dragons. That was partially underwater and a fun fight. I especially miss that one.

It's criminal that Baseball was excluded. That was the only game from the original which was actually good.

@Anachronism
Generations is always worth coming back to. Greatest game in the series. So much to do.

Bring back Jhen Mohran

@MARl0
It's like that in real life too, mate.

It's a thin line between game preservation and pirating.

"Oh was that your car? Sorry... I was just trying to "preserve it".

Mega Man will not come, since it's already released on classic anniversary edition or whatever it's called. All on the e-shop and in retail.

Since this is not 1st party related, you can just add all the Final Fantasy games to the top of the list.

I find it odd that anyone is surprised by these discoveries. Heck, I'd be surprised if only a few of these cases popped up.
This is not a problem limited to the games industry. It's an overall issue that happens on a lot of work places around the globe regardless of the line of work.

@KeeperBvK

Thanks for enlightening me.
I hereby withdraw my praise of actually doing one thing right 🙂

@Munchlax
Octopath was nothing like Three Houses. Different genres.

That's old alright.

To me Pyramid Head was the perfect design for that particular story, but as others have pointed out only matters to Silent Hill 2.

@Medic_Alert
I would buy Sensible Soccer with stick man graphics in an instant. Even with fake names. Simply because it's a good football game.

FIFA has sucked since FIFA 15.
EA has butchered the video game sports genre. If there were one company who needed to be bought out by Microsoft if was EA.
I hope to wake up one day and they are gone, so we can finally have good football games again made by companies who care.

I will be overjoyed if they remake Code Veronica. A great entry in the mainline and a direct sequel to RE2. It was actually supposed to be labeled RE3, until Sony inisted on getting a trilogy for the PS1. Explains why RE3 is quite weak in comparison to the other entries of the tank control era (or proper RE survival horror IMO).

@RCMADIAX
But they weren't YOUR games were they? They were freeware and you basically just copy/pasted in order to make money. And then you went crazy and flooded the eshop. I liked your own physics puzzle game. Don't remember the name. You should have believed more in yourself and try to bring quality rather than a quick sorry dollar.

@techdude
I'd say they have a lot of money to lose, if the developers gets a cut that's more than that.

@ThomasBW84
Unless he also own all of RCMDIAX releases. In that case I would label him disturbed 🙂

@StarPoint
I see what you did there. Clever 😉

Velkommen til NLife Felix.
Nice to see a fellow Dane take the spot. With a Pink Floyd poster in the background you obviously have taste for the better things in life. Thus working for NLife makes perfect sense.

What good is award winning when getting a metacritic score of 66%?
