Can they make a game without a bazillion bugs first please and also without looking like trash with as they said “years of experience” it should be possible right?
@Not_Soos there are way too many issues with 3d on tv’s: passive or active glasses, low brightness, no glasses etc. Lowers framerate by half the original and often times just not was implemented well. This was even often the case in cinemas where they added the 3d effect later on instead of filming with 2 camera’s. James Cameron did that with Avatar and was a superb example of good 3d implemitatio.
@FightMikes I have over 40 or 50 physical switch games and 10 or so digital, but why would you assume I would emulate them? Thats just a strawman right there.
I’m planning to use it for gamecube titles that I own physically.
And your “comparison” is really bad, walking with a gun (in public) is forbidden. (most places in the world I reckon) Emulating is just not illegal.
I am going to buy this thing, mostly for emulation I think. And emulation is not illegal nintendo. Youtube should actually watch the content that marked as wrong/illegal by the people or companies that strike those vids.
@Burning_Spear well this happens in other games too so i cant blame them. Many issues in (online) games and devs ignore them, an exploit is found that gives players unlimited money/good items and the likes (etc.) and the devs push a update the hour or day after.
@Silly_G that would be very nice indeed but for some games like Smash you would need to have a 128 GB cartridge or larger for all the music. But on the other hand smaller games with around 30-60 could fit it on a cartridge depending on length and quality.
Just like @teksetter I ordered this in december (6th) but their shipping takes very long. I do look forward to it though as a get cramps playing handheld games for too long especially when using the d-pad or both analog sticks.
i tried monster hunter multiple times (bought it on 3ds) and tried the rise demo, but playing this game I just wonder what is going on and seeing weapons hitting 1... does not feels great.
@Link_of_Hyrule objectively mediocre? It might not be the best for every type of game but I would not call it the worst. There are many people who just prefer this layout. How does ''keeping this alive'' bothers you
I hope that next nintendo console has 4k, even if it’s through DLSS, output and support for hdr(10+) and or dolby vision (while docked ofc). Or just straight way more power then the current Switch.
@Meteoroid I like to read reviews on this site to see how they perform on the switch but like you said they sometimes are lenient with the scores. To each their own I guess at the end it is always personal and people seem to forget that.
What is interesting between this and pushsquare however is that many titles that come to both platforms often receive a higher score on Nintendolife , mostly a point, even for negatively reviewed games. I also most of the times agree more with the reviews from pushsquare especially when a game runs poor on the ps4 (pro) and it gets a higher mark on this website while even running worse than the ps4 version.
@Gwynbleidd payday 2 debacle and the walking dead debacle, granted most games they publish are just published, they had no hand in making it or other decisions.
With payday they really messed up. Made the game pay to play, as in a 60 dollar game like every other game. They promised it will never have In App Purchases (IAP from now on). They stopped supporting it in favor of Payday 3 after not even fixing many bugs in payday 2. 505/starbreeze goes almost bankrupt due to the mess called Overkills the walking dead game. Then to save to company they release a ton of IAP for payday 2. Breaking their promise.
Here is a snippet from forbes:
“Prior to the game's launch in 2013, developer Overkill stated that micro-transactions would not be part of the game. At the time, producer Almir Listo admonished doubters, writing: "We've made it clear that Payday 2 will have no microtransactions whatsoever (shame on you if you thought otherwise!)"
This was followed up a month later by (now former) lead designer David Goldfarb reassuring gamers that Payday 2 would not get micro-transactions in the future.
"No," he told GameSpot at the time. "No. God, I hope not. Never. No."
But times change, and during the 10-day special "CrimeFest" event Overkill revealed the new Black Market update. This update introduces "safes" to end-of-match rewards and a new currency "drills" with which to open them. Drills cost money, and once you've used the drill on a safe you get a random weapon skin.
One really bad twist here is that not only do safes replace other free rewards, they sometimes unlock skins for weapons you have to then purchase as DLC.”
@Silly_G this is my problem with the switch and physical game cards, I just hate updates, even when you buy a game “late” there is no guarantee that all the patched are installed on it. In some cases from LRG the devs add updates. It makes cartridges kinda useless.
Some games are perfectly playable without updates but many games, even Nintendo ones, have game breaking bugs on day 1.
@Matl pikachu is top tier and never has nerfed nor buffed. I agree with you, some characters need nerf and dont get them while some need buffs and never see them.
@OldPierre77 yeah in a perfect world that would happen, however there are things wrong with metacritic as a whole. There is no clear idea what the difference is of a 96 score and a for example 95 but i get what you mean. Speaking of which a reviewer that also scores with up to a max of 5 stars is also weird in my opinion just like using a metric up to a 100 with increments of 1. Especially when a the same game with the same content and same performance has a lower score on pc then on console for example. Or vice versa.
Also the site “gauges/guesses” from a few websites that don’t give numbers to their reviews anymore like kotaku what their review would translate to into a number. And that (given that they are huge sites/contributers) can change hard if the games does not have a million reviews.
But anyway I do understand your point about the general consensus of their scores.
@OldPierre77 objective and metacritic? A game is always subjected to subjective opinions although you kinda grasp if a game is good, okay or bad from the reviews off of it.
I would have grabbed SMT V if the steelbook edition was available in the EU but it's not so I'll either grab the game on switch on a sale or wait till it releases on ps4/pc and grab it for my ps4 since it will run better and has trophies.
Every community has a toxic part somewhere. If people ask online (and maybe offline) how they would feel if nintendo goes third party they would be downvoted/called out into oblivion.
@TheWingedAvenger costing more does not stop it from selling out as soon as more stock is there… furthermore the Switch started with a port of Mario kart 8 and breath of the wild.
I also like nintendo as much as the next guy but you should get those rose tinted glasses out of your face. Just because a console has/had not stellar launch line up does not mean it sucks.
Ps4 sold over 100 million and its launch was weak as heck. It did not start with God of War, The last of Us, Horizon, Bloodbourne, Persona 5 (Royal), and in even larger scope monsters like GTA, Red dead and the plethora of Cod’s.
And I have no reason not to believe the same will happen with ps5 just as it had happened with the switch’s animal crossing pushing hard numbers.
It would be weird if their next console is not backwards compatible switch 2 or something. However if they go main console again please let it have enough power for most games on at least full hd and 60 fps.
@gojiguy smoothness in general (and for me also graphics. Hitches, stutters, frame spikes etc are annoying. It’s the main reason why I play multi platform games on my ps4/5. I really like the fact the you can have the switch with on the couch or on the go but man some games suffer so hard.
@YourLocalChonker I don’t know if you know it but the items are shared across your party (all your pokemon) so most attack items that you would use on greninja you can and probably also should use for cinderace and zeraora. Same goes for special attack items that you can equip on pikachu, venesaur, nintetales etc.
But yeah those tokens came in clutch for me but it’s very annoying that you can buy these items that allow to upgrade. I am now “stuck” with physical dmg characters. Good thing for me is that I mostly only play with friends if I play this game.
How about a multiplayer fps (with 60fps) like Cod or Battlefield. I honestly would play the heck out of survival and zombies on my switch. Battlefield has never seen the light on Nintendo consoles. Imagine playing bad company 2 on this bad boy.
People who think that the best selling fighting game of all time won’t be getting a sequel are crazy. Selling 25 million is a crazy feat. Why do people even think ninty would stop making it.
@Angelic_Lapras_King you can probly use them tho. I use the (nintendo)snes controller to play mario tennis and mario kart and a few other games, even though nintendo said its specificly made for the (s)nes games.
The social link/dating elements from P5 is what i disliked the most about the game. I did for them “right” for the tropies along the way but I just really liked the combat, art and story. Kinda boring to have EVERY female fall for you by just listening to them or them (female and male) telling you how good of a friend you are by just saying logical things.
@GameOtaku pretty much every game is repetitive. Shooter? Press shoot button when you see the enemy. Rpg? Spam A/X on their weakness. Third person action/adventure game? Spam square/y/x and dodge while getting attacked till the group of bad guys surrounding a location are knocked out? Fighters? Spam a combination of buttons (or in a specific order so you don’t seem like a noob) until the fighter you play against loses its health or is off the platform and gets KO’ed. Visual novel? Just spam “confirm” on a answer and to spice things up try to spam a/confirm on a different answer to discover other endings.
See? Almost all games are repetitive in some ways but the levels changing, getting more (progressively) difficult, the intruiging story progressing or other stuff like unlocking new weaponry/characters/skills is what we like about them.
A country whose elections are always followed by the entire world needs to get (basic) stuff like drinking water and health care fixed, which should not exactly be a problem since they have the highest GPD in the world… I don’t think I can name the country by name but I think you know which one it is by now.
@BloodNinja stating your own opinion about the economical well being (or lack thereof), supplied with various examples is also not welcome on this website.
On topic: it does not look real to me be honest but Intresting nonetheless
