Re: Surprise! Xenoblade Chronicles 3 "Final DLC" Launches On Switch Next Week

Baker1000

Feels a bit weird they're dropping this now, I know they have the soundtrack out in a couple of months so need to get it out before then, but Zelda is just over 2 weeks after that. I know not everyone is gonna be into that but a good 70% are. Seems as if they're trying to get in ahead of Zelda. I was trying to clear my playlist before TOTK, but whatever, I'll throw this into the mix as well.

Re: Movie Review: Tetris - The Blocks Don't Quite Line Up In This Mostly Fun Thriller

I thought it was a great watch. Obviously dramatised with a bit of creative license thrown in. Found it a bit hard to keep track of who was claiming to own what at the beginning but by the sounds of it, so were the companies involved! A little bit annoying when they made a "that's why Zelda has Link" reference despite showing a clip with two Link's from a game that came out well after the 80s, when Link and Zelda are famously NOT a partnership in the game.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gameplay Trailer Drops Tomorrow, 28th March 2023

I'm not being funny but why so long? I'd be happy with a 3 minute trailer. I'm aware this is odd to be moaning about getting something that's supposed to be good, but I'm conflicted. We've come this far with knowing hardly anything. I'd be happy enough to keep it that way. But at the same time it only means I'm gonna have to dodge everyone else talking about it from this point on.

Re: PSA: Watch Out, Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Art Book Spoilers Have Leaked Online

Baker1000

Doubtful people will agree with me here, but it is a bit annoying these artbooks get released along side the game. Whenever I get one I don't look at it properly for months because it usually has environments or characters from late in the story I'd rather keep as a surprise. Obviously it's not going to matter in this instance now, but I wouldn't complain if when ordering a collectors edition of a game they just sent me the game and then the extras came a month later. They've had to do it for Xenoblade (due to supply issues) and I think they ought to do it for games like Zelda as standard. The other benefit is they often might leave out artwork which is considered too much of a spoiler, so delaying it would allow them to include it.

But besides all that, how about just releasing these books to retail instead of in limited edition collectors bundles? I'd pay for it by itself, I don't often want the stuff like the steelbooks that come with them. And that way, they can control WHEN the book is released much easier and also maybe keep it under wraps from leakers easier.

Anyway, I know people are gonna be reading this going what are you on about mate. But that's my opinion.

Re: Soapbox: I Scoffed At Switch Lite, Then I Backpacked Through South East Asia

Baker1000

I'm planning a trip abroad this year and I'm obviously going to take my Switch for that flight, and those nights back at the hotel. I've learned a lesson not taking my Switch with my for hotel stays. Usually I take my original Switch, which is an absolute godsend not having to pause progress on a game for a week and then muddle through remembering what I was doing when I pick it up again. But it is rather cumbersome for a flight, right? I have a Switch Lite that doesn't get played, so I was thinking of transferring all the saves to that for when I go. This piece has convinced me it's the right option. Smaller, easier to transport, no need for joy-con. Sorted.

Re: Patent Suggests That New Nintendogs Is On The Horizon, Potentially For Mobile

Baker1000

It can't be Switch, wouldn't make sense anyway as there's no mic, and despite being "portable" few people carry it around with them all day. It's a perfect game for phones and hopefully they bring back Bark Park, the original StreetPass feature on the DS. Very surprised they haven't already utilised bluetooth for something similar anyway.

Just not looking forward to it being free and then having an option to buy in game currency to unlock stuff, or subscribe to make it quicker to earn. Such is the way phone gaming is these days.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2022 - Our Most Played Games

Baker1000

I don't know how any one of you who played Xenoblade Chronicles 3 doesn't have it as your highest played game. It's huge, I started a week or so after release and I'm STILL playing it 130 hours later. Slowed up because of the release of other games admittedly but unless you skimmed through it or just didn't bother finishing it idk how there's another game you've played more.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Is Already Starting To Talk About Bayonetta 4

Baker1000

Spoilers, but if the series carries on with Viola as the main character I don't think I'm gonna bother. Not only is she incredibly hard to fight with and dodges like a tree in a gale, she's actually a really irritating personality. Moody punk girl with parent issues oh no. The script for Bayonetta has always been one of the best aspects, with the wit and sass and charisma from Cereza. Now it's going to be this bratty P!nk wannabe who lacks all the style of her mother. I'd rather it was a Jeanne spin-off.
