I hate all these "street" sports games. Give us the real thing. How hard is it to make a football game better than FIFA? Sure they have all the licenses, but is that the only reason no one tries to better their poor and boring gameplay?
I will give them a go, whenever there is a sale. It baffles me that there is no option to be notified when certain games, DLC's etc. go on sale. You would have thought that was possible in 2020, but no...
@GrandScribe I play it only on Switch and as I wrote, I have never experienced a single problem. I have not purchased the expansions though, which might be the reason.
If you already played the base game, then you're probably not missing out, unless you need that handheld option.
@PoeTheLizard To me Morrowind was by far the best of them all. I hope to see something like it, but I'm afraid you're right, that it is never going to happen. I would like to say "but alas, how can one top perfection" but Morrowind was not perfect. Far from it actually. Not even for it's time. But it had something not many games of that size has....soul. That special feeling of something divine.
At what point did Bethesda become a developer to hate?
They made some of the best games through the years. Of course there will be ***** games once in a while. It might even have been a little more "in a while" than "once" lately. No one told you to buy all games from a specific developer. That's hardly ever a sane choice.
But at the end of the day it all comes down to whether they can pull it off with the next Elder Scrolls entry. Elder Scrolls VI.
That is their main franchise. Every entry so far has been a true masterpiece. I think we at least owe them a chance to show us that they are all-in once again. Skyrim was the most expensive game ever to develop at the time it came out. For all I know, it might still be. I think they still go for all or nothing with the main series of this franchise. It seems to have been the case so far.
I have to agree with what @kukabuksilaks wrote. I'm from Denmark and my experience with Bergsala is way below par as well. Nintendo should indeed have cut ties with them long ago. All in all I do not like that this article sort of hails Bergsala. It might have been important back then in the 80's, but that's history. They suck now.
Ehh what? Come again? How many horror titles have you played? IGN gave this game a 5.9 out of 10. That hardly classifies as greatest of all time. My dime is on Silent Hill 2. What a remake that would make!
Resident Evil was were it all started for me, but I don't think 4 and later fits the survival horror genre. To me these are different genres. The last of the true survival horror RE games was Code Veronica.
Fatal Frame 2 was fantastic. Great story and really scary for all the right reasons.
The latest entry on Nintendo Wii U, Fatal Frame 5... urgh. What a dull experience. It was like comparing any Silent Hill game to Silent Hill 2.
Ohh yeah, my point being: I'm not too optimistic about a new entry on Switch. The survival horror genre needs great writing to succeed. Something we have seen way to less in recent years… or should I say a decade?
@judaspete Okay, let's not get carried away here. The Legacy of Kain series is in a league of it's own. Especially Blood Omen, Soul Reaver and Defiance. You can't compare Shadow Man to such masterpieces. It would be like comparing Tarrentino's latest movie to Pulp Fiction.
Finding all the dark souls was both very challenging but also much fun. Not sure how much the graphics will hold up today, but from a nostalgic point of view, I'd definitely go back to deadside one more time.
The music was superb. Great atmosphere. Remember the children's voices in the asylum? That was creepy as hell.
Battletoads, Jet Force Gemini and Conker's Bad Fur Day. Those three I would throw cash at right away. You know what Chris Seaver? I prefer them over Banjo.

You shouldn't be. The game is fantastic.
I have personally never encountered any problems.

Re: Netflix Announces The Actor Who Will Play Vesemir In Season Two Of The Witcher
If you would like to see Kim Bodnia's greatest performance, see the amazing Danish film called "Pusher".
It has to be the first one, since he's not in the sequal. It's a great film also starring Mads Mikkelsen.

Eliminator Boat Duel is a great game.
Can't wait to play some vs.
Is it still only possible through friends list or did they fix that crap yet?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenger 5?
I guess they went with Piranha Plant to ensure there are still more Mario characters than Fire Emblem characters.
Re: IGN Founder Offers Hint At One Of The Rumoured Wii U Ports Coming To Switch
So no Pikmin 4 then? They said it was in development and nearly finished 2 years ago!

Re: Poll: What Other Wii U Games Do You Want To See On Switch?
Xenoblade Chronicles X will only see a Switch port if a sequel is in the works. I'd say the chances are pretty good.

Thanks. That is good to know. I will give the game a try then.
Re: Civilisation VI's Latest Switch Update Appears To Have Broken The Game Completely
Did the update at least add the hot seat option? A thing they promised us so long ago, that I'm starting to suspect they lied to us.

Re: Review: Resident Evil 5 - More Action Than Horror, And All The Better For It
I liked this one better than 4 due to co-op. But as a Resident Evil game, nothing compares to the old classics which ended after Code Veronica.
