Re: Dark Fantasy Metroidvania Ender Lilies Launches On Switch Today

@Friendly man, please... Read again. You talked about me being angry, but you, you're in another level as well. Are you OK? Now, in verbatim:
"Nintendo, who's famous for aboring their fans guts until the sun falls down, and everyone acts like they are Jesus Christ incarnate. It's amusing."
Am i mentioning you? And, I'm not trying to troll you, since that would require me to loose energy i don't have, for something like this.
Have a nice day, my friend.

@harrystein i own the 3 systems. XD I suppose you must be jealous of Halo, God of War, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption, Bloodborne, Elden Rings, and all the "crappy" games Nintendo has in their systems as well. Oh, wait...you have Smash Brothers, fully priced remakes of 30 year old games, and Mario Rabbids, this, not mentioning Metroid 4...Oh, wait.

@Friendly just because I'm here means i have to worship Nintendo, mate? 😂 They released a some what okayish machine i can use to play games, doesn't make them gods or something i cannot see the flaws in. But, yeah, I'm not arguing with you over that, because you clearly showed your position in this. Enjoy your games.

@Friendly and you're defending a game, that you haven't seen nothing but the trailer yet. @RoguePirate has every right to say what he wants, because you haven't seen the game yet, still you defend it's high price tag. I hope you can see how crazy that sounds, but i don't think you will. You called HK boring but you're defending Dread, that can be, for all we know, just a movie.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@kurtasbestos I'm sorry to say but that is not exactly true. Many game along the history of videogames have failed to become franchises due to short length and a high price tag. Comes to mind games like Order:1886, Portal, Kane & Lynch, and so on. Needless to say that people weren't happy to pay full price for what it felt like and oversized tech demo. What i see here is that those games weren't Nintendo made, so no hardcore fans to defend it like it's the holy grail of gaming, despite the over-all lack of respect Nintendo has regarding their own fanbase.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@Spiders in that perspective i totally agree with you. Valhalla was indeee a major disappointment and I'm glad i didn't paid full price for it. And i really appreciate what HK and DC, (although i can't play the last one for some reason), are indeed the standard of what games should look like and what companies should strive for. Thank you for mentioning those. What i wanted to say is just that: people will have different opinions and how to expend their own money or not, we simply cannot burn everyone because they disagree with us. I'm not a fan of any companies, any major game companies at all, since i find them very predatory, so i don't defend any.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

@Spiders unfortunately, we cannot compare both, as a meal is indeed a necessary thing, and a game isn't. Many people here compared both and that just shows a bit of alienation. If you have enough to buy a 60$ game without complaining, I'm really happy, but if others don't and find it expensive, for any given reason, please don't be upset. There's a life beyond gaming, many gamers are parents, working to put food on the table, and they enjoy gaming to relax; if every game comes with a steep price, that only a select few can buy, than many people won't enjoy this amazing thing that videogames bring. I know it might not make sense to a lot of people in here, but if it comes between buying a 60$ game that probably will never go on sale and feeding your kids, the choice is obvious.

@iuli you're very welcome. Your country is the most gorgeous country I've ever seen and my dream is to live there. 350 lei...my god. Most people here won't realise that this amount is nearly a full months work in some countries or even more than this. So, they'll try to burn you on public square when you even mutter a word about how expensive it is, like you don't have the right to your opinion.
Now, I'm really happy that some people are so well in life that they don't care about how much they expend in anything, but alienation is really a problem.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@Petew it won't. Hollow Knight is a a very different kind of beast, when compared to most games nowadays. Fully priced was 11£, and in promotion 5£... Where do you have games that are hours and hours of gameplay and you pay as much as 11£? Difference between HK is that Team Cherry had the support of fans, even through Kickstarter, and they showed their appreciation through a huge, nearly free game, with even more content added through free dlcs. Nintendo will charge you even for the smallest skin 19.99£... This is the difference.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@UltimateOtaku91 and that is the thing. It seems that either you're a fan or not, and this game at this price was clearly targeted for fans, who seem way to happy to give 40£, 50£, 60£ for a game, and they'll tell you to shut up if you argue about it, as if everyone can afford 50£ for a game. This as been going since the beginning, and people will tell you: ah, super mario back in the 80's was also expensive, but they don't realise: back then, if you haven't bought it, quickly enough, companies would price their game fairer. Thing is, the gaming industry keeps shoving things down people's throats and there are always some who won't care, so they'll keep shoving even more until someone tells them: yep, that's enough. There are other hobbies.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@Spiders the ratio should be done like this.
Portugal (my country) hourly rate pay:
€4.38, 3.76£, or 5.20$, to buy a game for this you have to work around 13 hours, which is nearly 2 days. So, think well, you have to work 2 days to buy a 5h game. 2 days and in half of a day or less, you finish the game.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

@TakoSamurai please don't say that. Everyone here seems way to happy to release 60£ on a game... Am i the only one who thinks that 60£ is money? Has money become so useless? Have our work and how much we sweat to get 60£ so worthless? Or maybe I'm getting way too old.

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

CarlosM87

Still waiting for the day that something like this will show up:
"Why Breath of the Wild 45 costs 560£ and why you'll be happy not to eat, pay rent, or anything else, to buy it."
Man... everyday, every single day, the gaming industry makes me love reading, more and more. Sad industry that is more worried about taking your blood than actually entertain you.

Re: Another Cloud Game Is On Its Way To Nintendo Switch This July

CarlosM87

@themightyant this argument has been going for ages. The idea of this is that devs will soon see that they don't have to port anything if people still pay full price for a Cloud version that actually doesn't belong to you. And if, just saying, you're willing to pay this amount of money for something that doesn't belong to you, due to reasons, there are services like xCloud, or Stadia, which are far less money, and with the right controller, will make your potato a full console. So, no, they should let the Switch be what she was ment to be, a hybrid that you can dock and undock and still play out of internets reach.

Re: Another Cloud Game Is On Its Way To Nintendo Switch This July

CarlosM87

If you have 39£ for every cloud game on the Switch, i think there's 4 at the moment, or will be once this one comes out, plus money to buy a good bundle of internet, if you want your Switch to be portable with these games, which will be around 30£ or 40£ to say the least; a PS4 or Xbox One in secondhand might cost you way less than this Cloud versions. Just make the accounts.
It makes absolutely no sense for someone to say; oh, i don't have money for another console, and then, buying this Cloud versions, especially because only a small amount of people will have access to a good bandwidth to play this games properly. Otherwise you're just playing on a potato.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Shares Irritation At Speculation Over Bayonetta 3

CarlosM87

@Slowdive and you're absolutely right. I never even played Bayoneta, but there are people who defend this behaviour. Guy got offended because someone simply asked him if the game was in development hell and throws a tantrum at a fan... and people still come and defend him. I'm wild guessing but these might be the people who couldn't care less that are sexual harassments and crunchs on companies, since devs are always right. Funny that when are the fans that do this, everyone gathers to burn it, now, if it's a developer; ah, well, he's so funny...
No. He's not funny. He's a rude guy who does this over and over and still will until someone slaps him in the mouth, which is the only medication for some rude little s...ts.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Shares Irritation At Speculation Over Bayonetta 3

CarlosM87

This guy really needs to calm down. Or either he doesn't understand how this works and how long waits can be tiresome, or most certainly has himself in higher importance than he actually has. I'm not a fan of Bayoneta, but moody devs, and especially without reason tend to make me not being interested at all.

Re: Random: Boy Has To Choose Between Nintendo Switch And Pizza, Chooses Pizza

CarlosM87

@Low_ink i bet so as well. I would have chosen the pizza, also, to be honest, since, while growing up, my mom was never the tender kind and would have never had done nothing like this. My father neither, since I've never met him. But pizza or time with family would have been wonderful if the opportunity presented itself.
Thank you for being respectful in your comment, and have an awesome day.
