I have purchased each and every playstation console, but I've been so burned with the ps5 and its lack of exclusives that I'm not sure I'll go for their next one until it's proven itself to me
@Olliemar28 Thank you for the update! I'm still considering it because I rarely play my Switch away from wifi, just work and home. Still, it's nice to know regardless.
@Olliemar28 I'm going to assume that since there has been no update about the "always online saves" thing, you still have to be online. Which is a shame. Either that or someone I "ignored" posted an answer.
They're so in touch with their fans, Kouichi Kawamoto called me last night just to say "good night." I thought that was really sweet. I told him I had to go to bed because in the morning we're doing a Mario Kart fundraiser for kids with cleft palate. He didn't say anything and dropped the call. What a sweet guy.
This looks solid! I've been watching CRONOS long before it was announced for Switch 2, so I'm happy to see the version I can play in my pajamas is turning out well!
It sounds great for people who love it, the only thing I know is HLTB.com says co-op is "1521 Hours" and I don't see myself starting a game I need a second lifetime to finish.
Did they improve the garbage platforming segments? Especially those bits with the spherical platforms? It doesn't matter to be honest I'm not playing this again.
My question is how difficult the game is for soft-handed people like myself. I will fall off the game quickly if the combat is a little too difficult (Athenian Rhapsody for instance) though I can always just watch the rest on YouTube if that's really my only bastion.
I have always been interested in adding a "Bubsy 3D-sized" feather in my cap but emulation was tough for 3D games when I was a kid so I gave up. This sounds like a better time than any.
Getting in early to tell you DO NOT BUY THE SLEEPER CASE!! They waited 2 months to send mine until the "improved model" was ready for distribution and when I recieved it I got ONE DAY of use out of it before the "improved" zipper threaded wrong and it became impossible to open, trapping my switch inside. I had to use my finger to undo the zipper, which bricked the sleeper case. Thankfully they were nice enough to give a refund.
I bought the Tomtoc case instead and have had zero issues with the zipper, and it's just as tough as I hoped!
That's adorable-I hope they both went for a malt shop date and shared several years of unfettered companionship afterward.
I never got a chance to finish Metroid back on 3DS despite being close to the final battle. May have to take another crack at it now.
Wow, too many of these games to keep up with. We got Cosmic Shake, then last year we got that Patrick-based game, it is becoming difficult to imagine keeping up with all of these platformers.
Not even close to one of the better Directs. I was happy to see Cronos as a day-and date title, though! I also was happy to see Persona 3 Reload even though I JUST finished the P3Portable edition on Switch 1 last year.
Some people forget the partner showcases for the first few years of Switch 1 were hype as hell. DOOM, Bioshock, Portal 2, Witcher 3... Hoping for some miracle ports on Switch 2.
I am more excited for partner showcases than first party at this point in time because the partner showcases at the beginning of Switch 1's life were WILD! Bioshock, Portal 1/2, Witcher 3, DOOM! I'm even more excited to see if we get some more impossible ports tomorrow
@Markiemania95 not misremembering. I Meant single player as in playing with CPUs. It's my mistake, I thought someone was wondering why you'd want to play with only CPUs. I didn't even notice the update allows you to play races alone with NO CPUs. That didn't even occur to me because that sounds a little silly but I'm guessing it's so people can find all the strats in the intercourse paths.
