The best LEGO game yet. Exploring Yavin 4, Tatooine and Naboo was the best of any Star Wars game. The Disney sequel trilogy content is easily skipped also.
Reddit is just a terrible idea with all their moderators, and because it all gets indexed to Google. Telegram is a better choice for game preservation.
People that don’t play games are generally more successful and contented, in the same way that people that don’t drink, smoke or eat junk are. Most of us aren’t that hyper-focused and would find life boring that way though.
The problems come for certain people that spend too much time playing at the expense of real world commitments. Games can make you anxious, bad in social settings and obese if you use them to escape real life - and therefore more miserable.
It is definitely laziness from the company that doesn’t want to push out a fully completed product. Why are these Twitter randomers getting offended on behalf of individual game developers? If you criticise EA or Ubisoft, are you criticising ALL the devs?
@a_brave_new_geek If I were returning to play JRPGs after that long, I would pick Dragon Quest XI S. It’s the recommendation I would give to new players also because it’s a fun and also forgiving experience.
It’s good Nintendo and Rare/Microsoft could work together to bring this back since the rights were a bit awkward. Not a chance Nintendo would agree for this to only come to Xbox and vice versa.
@RubyCarbuncle I heard they’re doing research into time differentials where a few days in the metaverse will feel like a decade - so people will willingly have their life in there and they can “live forever”. Sounds like a trap.
Completely agree with "Distraction is helpful, avoidance is not."
They're good in the short term, but not for long-term escapism and avoiding real life issues. Video games do have an addicting nature that most other hobbies don't.
I'm sure many people will know a housemate or family member that spent the entire evening playing video games, then we go to bed, wake up at 7am and they're still up playing. This just doesn't exist with something like knitting.
@Hydra_Spectre Disney+, Hulu and HBO Max all not available in Philippines also, but the ones they do have can be a lot cheaper. HBO Go is a bargain at ₱150 (around £2.20) compared to other countries, along with YouTube Premium, Spotify, Apple One, Discovery+, Prime Video and soon GamePass for PC.
It’s much better than the other Lego games. So much detail and effort went into this. I even rushed through the awful sequel trilogy levels because the game was a lot of fun.
@Dinizz_2d Ashley has good development and growth over the three games, and Kaiden is just whiny as always. She is quite ungrateful in Mass Effect 2 though.
@Rambler Definitely legal murkiness! It’s just my opinion though. As much as I don’t like Epic, I think it would be a great shame if the moonwalk, Gangnam style, Macarena, Cha-Cha slide, Hammertime, Running Man, etc, were copyrighted. Apologies for the outdated references!
@Rambler Not for some standalone individual dance move like what Fortnite uses. A long choreography lasting many minutes and incorporating many dance moves in a certain order - maybe.

Capcom are just increasing the opening offer.
Re: Level-5 To Premiere Multiple Switch Game Trailers This Weekend
All 3 of these games plus Professor Layton really interest me. Great lineup.
Re: Red Dead Redemption Fans Aren't Happy About Rockstar's "Lazy Port"
The Xbox 360 backward compatible version is better, and still has online.

Re: Futurama Crashes Into Fortnite Today
"Luck of the Fryish" always stuck with me when I think of Futurama. Really great show and superior to The Simpsons and Family Guy.

Re: Nintendo Live 2023 Announced For Seattle In September
Switch 2 won’t be released in 2023, but it will obviously be announced this year.
Re: Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series
The comments here saying “it’s fine because Yakuza sucks” are hilarious. The Switch could not run these games unfortunately.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
It was really bad. 0/10. Waste of 40 minutes unless you’re a farmer.
Re: Nintendo Direct Zelda Announcement Rumours Intensify
The Japanese are fellow monarchists and are very respectful people unlike some here.

Depends how many hours they put into it, and how negatively it affects their life - personally and professionally.

Re: Nintendo Reassures Fans "More" N64 Games Will Be Added To Switch Online
Hercules - The Legendary Journeys and Xena Warrior Princess for N64 should be next.

Re: Random: Nintendo Issues Switch Warning As Japan Swelters In Heat Wave

Re: Random: John Cena Apparently Asked For A New 2D Metroid In 2017
Celebrity I like plays Switch too?! We can be best bros along with Henry Cavill.
Re: Miyamoto Wasn't A Fan Of The Art Style In Zelda: Wind Waker
Everyone saying that it is timeless and futureproof are correct. This game could be upscaled to 8k in a few years and will look good.
Re: Chris Pratt On Voicing Mario: Says It's "Unlike Anything You've Heard In The Mario World"
Chris Pratt will be great in the role. Not everyone cares to spend all day tweeting about his faith and valid beliefs.
Re: Video: We Haven't Had A Nintendo Direct Yet, But That's Fine
Hopefully we get the Persona 5 kart racing spin-off announced soon.
Re: Reggie: Nintendo's Transition From Switch Will Be A "Significant Challenge"
The ONLY thing I want is to be able to play my Switch library on the successor console.
Re: Persona 3, 4, and 5 Seemingly Confirmed For Everything But Switch
I will just laugh out loud if the Persona dancing spin off game is announced for Switch and nothing else.

It’s good Nintendo and Rare/Microsoft could work together to bring this back since the rights were a bit awkward. Not a chance Nintendo would agree for this to only come to Xbox and vice versa.
Re: Take-Two CEO Urges Caution Against Betting On The Metaverse

You could be right! I prefer the idea that the universe sounds like a chemical reaction in motion. We’re just living on an electron.

Re: UK Charts: Kirby Crashes Out Of The Top Ten As LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Retains Top Spot
The developers put so much attention, care and detail into Lego Skywalker Saga. Over 25 planets and I can’t think of one I disliked playing through.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Will Reveal Some Skin, Unsurprisingly
They should do this for Lara Croft. Bring her back to her glory days.

Re: Want To See The Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Games On Switch? Let Aspyr Know
If it’s coming, it should be in the NSO N64 pack.

@Dinizz_2d Ashley has good development and growth over the three games, and Kaiden is just whiny as always. She is quite ungrateful in Mass Effect 2 though.
Re: Video: Mass Effect Gets Advance Wars-Style GBA Demake
Who even saves Kaiden?
Re: Mario Golf Now Available On Switch Online's Expansion Pack
Most N64 games haven’t aged that well.
Re: Final Fantasy Uniqlo Range Accidentally Revealed Early
Uniqlo have really good quality clothes that last. I might like these T-shirt designs if I were 10.

Re: Review: Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga - A Triumphant Return To A Galaxy Far, Far Away
@AJWolfTill
Captain Panaka was a playable character in the Episode I official game on PS1. Then ruthlessly discarded in Episode II.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Online, Game Pass, And 'New' PS Plus - How Do They Compare?
NSO really sucks - it’s terrible. Nintendo have really overvalued their digital NES, SNES and N64 games.

Re: Epic Games Faces Lawsuit Over The 'It's Complicated' Fornite Dance
Dances shouldn’t count as intellectual property. That’s ridiculous.
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Delayed To Spring 2023
Better delayed than bad.
Re: FIFA Reportedly Being Rebranded 'EA Sports Football Club'
@NIN10DOXD
Because it isn’t the 1800s and everyone knows it as Football except for Americans.
Re: FIFA Reportedly Being Rebranded 'EA Sports Football Club'
It’s too long and clumsy when compared to FIFA. I would just name it EA Football if they’re going to lose the rights.
Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Remaster Supposedly Coming To Switch
