Re: Review: Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster - Two Games In One Remarkable Switch Collection

ConanLives

I can remember x-2 been a lot more fun then x, which was very heavy going.

Kingdom hearts came out at a similar time if I remember correctly, and x-2 seems to pull a lot in tone from that. I wish we could get Kingdom Hearts

I liked X but not enough to double dip at full price, vii and ix are better stories in my view. Though, the one I really want is the one we aren't getting viii

Hellblade (which I haven't played yet waiting for a port), assassins creed (which looked shaky but is a few months from release still and ubi have been doing the Switch well), ow and the Zelda game I've literally been waiting years for!!! Yep, i'm happy. If I hadn't replayed ffix a month ago I'd of bought it today, but will 100% be buying ffvii in march, 100 hours of the funniest RPG ever, yep please!

Direct couldn't have been better for me, 3 of my favourite franchises coming in 3 of the best games (OK ac3 not so much, but its better then people say it is). At least 4 games I'll 100% buy, and a couple I might buy.

Mario maker wasn't something I was into after seeing an interview on the line up of music, art, level design and gameplay in the first super Mario bros with its creative team, which makes have a go attempts seem wrong.

I'm trying to think what else there was but it was just tons of great stuff. Best year for switch yet is clearly going to be this year, hopefully we also get madden this year now frostbite runs on switch, and I can't wait for a proper pokemon game with actual battles to capture pokemon, not to mention the digimon game that's coming, which I think is supposed to be q1.

A bit disappointed that cool looking baseball game isn't coming westward, might have to import it, but that was the only bum note for me.

Re: EGX 2018 Game Listing Reveals That Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Is Headed To Switch

@Razer Not 'some cases' but at least a 5th of SOE in field operatives were women. Tanks aren't that fast, but I don't think its the individual gameplay mechanics, but the depiction of the women that's the issue here.

None of the people complaining about Battlefield 5 complained that Battlefield 1 wasn't Arma, or that half the soldiers depicted in the field didn't have dysentery, or that a single bullet wound wouldn't kill off the character in an instant. Because you know its still a game.

This is about people not wanting female avatars in games because of their politics, it has nothing to do with the politics of the devs, or accuracy, but is about the misogynist politics of those who don't want women involved in the industry and have created a banner around that.

@Razer How is it historically inaccurate? The SOE (Special Operations Executive) had a large number of female agents, its best ranking sniper was a women, and they deployed behind enemy lines in a number of theatres of WW2.

That British films from the 1950's (Carve Her Name with Pride, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carve_Her_Name_with_Pride, a great film worth watching) could depict the real world heroism of female combatants, without controversy, makes it a little depressing to see the reaction at the simple depiction of these women today.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Urges Game Developers To Embrace Subscription-Based Services

Looking at it more holistically as part of a cord cutting bill makes sense, so instead of getting a cable package its buying an entertainment package including video games. For that to work there needs to be cross industry collaboration, if I could get Nintendo game streaming/netflix/Spotify all for a fixed price and an easy package, then that could be a good move for me as a consumer.

That's where the streaming is heading like Amazon prime which gives you music, video games, TV ect all at one price.

That's Nintendo caring about families and consumers,.taking its responsibilities seriously. It's one of the reason's I'm a Nintendo gamer, the company might mess up occasionally but a first party Nintendo game is going to be good value for money.

I'm glad a mantra of squeeze cents out of gamers to make money, and create a situation of whale chasing, won't be Nintendo's future.
