It's a damn shame how many games are released in such a sorry state. I was interested in this but I'm definitely not buying it on Switch now. This is also more proof on why people need to stop pre ordering games. Imagine paying full price for something this broken?
Every game doesn't need mouse controls shoved in it. I'm glad the developers are prioritizing what works and doesn't work. I trust them to put forth the best control options for their game.
@UpsideDownRowlet Why would Gamefreak ever get their act together when they know millions will keep buying whatever they put out regardless of quality?😐 Until the sales start to take a massive hit, Nintendo and Gamefreak will continue doing the bare minimum with this franchise.
@SnackBox Fanboys hate when others call out their favorite company. Nintendo ones are the worst in the industry when it comes to this. DF has been reviewing the technical details of software and hardware for a long time and are actually one of the few companies that isn't bias. They are very in depth with their reviews whether it's good, bad, or average. There are just a lot of immature people who can't handle the truth and take things personally.
Good sales numbers. I played the first Hyrule Warriors and just couldn't get into it for whatever reason. It didn't really "click" with me and I gave up on it after a few hours. At least others are getting to enjoy it
A lot of these games should permanently be at these Black Friday prices in my opinion. It's ridiculous and greedy that Nintendo is charging full price for games that are almost a decade old
@ElRoberico I think most people are upset about patches because it means the game was released before it was completely ready. Huge day one patches are an insult to people who purchased a game at full price. And that's if a company even fixes everything in a timely manner. There are a lot of games that received a couple of patches and no more despite still having issues.
What a mess. This is why it's important to stop pre ordering games. Wait until it's actually launched and reviewed before giving these companies your money. Unfortunately some people will never learn.😐
You'd think at some point a lot of people would stop letting these companies get away with bs like this. As long as some people have more cash than common sense these companies will keep pushing the limits on product pricing.😐
@cylemmulo A lot of people will buy anything Pokemon related which is why Gamefreak does the bare minimum, if that. Scarlet and Violet were plagued with technical issues but still sold a crazy amount of copies. Some folks refuse to demand better when it comes to this franchise.
It's time for new developers with this franchise. Gamefreak has been dropping the ball lately and just cruising with the most recent games in this franchise. The potential is there for something truly amazing and groundbreaking and for whatever reason they can't do it or aren't capable. I would love to see someone else get a shot at Pokemon.
Alan Wake. It's been sitting in my backlog for a while now and I never played the game before. So far it's pretty good. The story is intriguing and I really want to see where it goes
This game got some really good reviews when it released. I was interested in it and will definitely check it out on Switch if the performance is up to par. I love weird games and horror so sign me up
Devolver Digital is the A24 of the game industry. Some of their products may not resonate with a lot of people but you can't accuse them of playing it safe. They are always publishing something that is weird, cool, and other publishers may not touch. This looks really cool in my opinion and I can't wait to see more of it.
I saw the trailer and didn't immediately think this was for an upcoming game. It looks like something that would be on Netflix or any other streaming service. So far it's just pretty generic and nothing to get excited about until we see more in my opinion
Good sales numbers so far. I still don't see any reason to personally get one right now. I really want a revised version with a better screen and battery. Until then I'll stick with my OLED.
I loved the first two games but was cautiously optimistic about this one. Everything I saw of it just didn't resonate with me as much as the other two. Looks like my feelings were justified. What a wasted opportunity to significantly expand/improve a really good franchise. I may pick this up on a steep discount
@GgGames I understand that but I have an issue with the people who are against piracy on any level. Some people want to play retro games and will never redistribute them. It's for private use only and there are some people who are still against that which is just ridiculous to me. Decades old games aren't hurting a corporation. Also a lot of people will never pirate a new game and don't even know how. A small group of people pirating games isn't going to bleed a corporation dry. Punish the pirates but don't ruin their life forever is my opinion
Watching people cheer for the billion dollar corporation is just so pathetic and ridiculous.😐😆 When Nintendo inevitably raises game prices again and blames it on "piracy" I'm sure some people will have no issues with that.🙄
If Nintendo could monetize AI without having any backlash, you know they won't hesitate to use it. I'm not a big fan of it myself but it does have a place in society if used ethically. Companies need to have clear plans for uses of it. I'm even okay with treaties being drawn up to regulate AI use and companies being severely punished if they deviate from it for nefarious reasons.
It's funny how Nintendo fans used to say they didn't care about hardware power/tech, but now a lot of them love it.😐 I also thought a lot of fans hated DF whenever they criticized anything Nintendo related?🤔 Anyway this was an informative video to watch. It's going to be interesting seeing how much developers can squeeze out of this console in the next few years, especially with more powerful hardware looming in the horizon from other companies. Long term third party support hopefully won't be a problem

Re: Red Dead Redemption Has Been Rated For The Switch 2
Game key card, 1080 at 30 fps undocked, and a paid upgrade for existing owners. That's my prediction
Re: Sony Once Again Takes A Leaf From Nintendo's Playbook In Japan
And right on cue ridiculous fanboys showed up. Gaming is open to everyone. Who cares about who "copied" who?😐

@Dee123 Did I say they were "obligated"?😐

Re: Review: Double Dragon Revive (Switch) - Nice Ideas, Uneven Execution
It looks like a cheap mobile game. I know visuals aren't everything, but the developers could've done a lot more with this game in that department
Re: "It Is Ever More Likely That Nintendo Will Lose" - Firm Faces Another Setback In Battle Against Palworld
I like Nintendo but hope they lose this case. It'll set a dangerous precedent going forward in the game industry.

Re: EA Staff Are Reportedly Less Than Happy With Their Much-Hyped AI "Helpers"
Selling out to the Saudis, using AI, copy and paste games, etc... EA is a dumpster fire organization.
Re: EA Is Diving Headfirst Into Generative AI With New Partnership
People should boycott EA.
Re: Three More Kirby Air Riders amiibo Have Been Announced
Just way too expensive for some plastic. These things probably cost no more than $5 to $10 at most to make.
Re: Atlus To Address Persona 3 Reload's Switch 2 Frame Rate Hiccups In "Future Patches"

North American version for me. I don't see an issue with it
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's First DLC In-Game Event Kicks Off Next Week
@Anachronism The bean counters are running things at Nintendo and will squeeze every penny they can out of consumers
Re: Donkey Kong Bananza's First DLC In-Game Event Kicks Off Next Week
Nintendo is really trying to get people to buy this overpriced DLC with the FOMO bs. Some people are going to fall for it too
Re: Poll: Is It About Time Game Freak Added Voice Acting To Pokémon?

It's past time for voice acting, especially during cut scenes.
Re: The ROG Xbox Ally X Receives Glowing Reviews, But It's Still Pretty Pricey

Nope. Not enough features to make me interested. The franchise is stagnating in my opinion

Re: Review: Pokémon Legends: Z-A - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Stellar Battles, But A Step Down From Arceus
The first time I saw this game it just didn't look like it would be top tier. I'm not surprised by the score.
Re: Pokémon Z-A's Source Code And Beta Builds Have Now Supposedly Leaked
Nintendo fanboys are foaming at the mouth wanting this hacker to be thrown in prison for life, probably.😐🙄😆

Re: Nintendo Denies Lobbying Japanese Government Over AI, Will "Take Necessary Actions" Over IP Rights
If Nintendo could monetize AI without having any backlash, you know they won't hesitate to use it. I'm not a big fan of it myself but it does have a place in society if used ethically. Companies need to have clear plans for uses of it. I'm even okay with treaties being drawn up to regulate AI use and companies being severely punished if they deviate from it for nefarious reasons.
