Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Version 1.3.0 Will Go Live Next Week

Deathwalka

Just finished and can’t see myself playing this again.
This game could have been so much better, but it’s still good and worth playing for sure. Just the whole saving the world in the hands of a 15 yr old kid who kings and the top people of the world all believe in? And the most powerful aegis is just a girl is portrayed as a lonely school girl with a crush and Rex also falls in the same cliche category. Some good humour in it though but also some very cheesy moments. I hate when the main characters are not believable as heroes and there is no one relatable. There are some decent characters that keep it interesting but all in all was predictable and just did not live up to the hype. If I was a kid playing this them I’m sure I would have loved it but the story was mediocre at best. Don’t get me wrong even with all this I would still class it as a good game...just never got to being great.

Just finished xenoblade myself and am dissapointed In it. So many fails, and cheap cliches make it just a mediocre game which is a shame as a lot has gone into it. So I am now playing Xenoblade Chronicles on my 3ds and damn it is so much better in every way except graphics. Other then that I will go back to Celeste and finish res evil 2

Re: Soapbox: Call Of Duty Can Work On Switch, Activision Just Needs To Pull The Trigger

Deathwalka

@Saego yeah I know you’re right, I guess I’m just being a bit glass half empty on the power thing. Defo we got a great year ahead of us and I don’t doubt 2019 being a special year for the switch.
I also am 99% Sue they will boost the power of the next generation of switch models, I’m just longing for a handheld type console like the switch to close the gap on consoles something which it is not that far from doing. I am super excited for Bayonetta as I have never played them and can’t wait for the horror library for the switch to grow!

Re: Soapbox: Call Of Duty Can Work On Switch, Activision Just Needs To Pull The Trigger

@Oscarzxn I’m Personally not talking about Nintendo making the switch a console like ps4 and Xbox one....I’m alluding to the fact that they used yesteryears graphics chip when they could have released it with the better one hence they wouldn’t have so many publishers second guessing bringing their games over, and I’m not talking indie or mobile games but the more full fat aaa games.
I love my switch but honestly I think it’s weaker then I originally thought after having it since it launch and owning 85 games. I’m sure things will get better now that we’re in the second year, I guess I want to see what fully optimised games from the ground up can achieve so moe devs take notice.
It’s just a little part of me that wishes we had a stronger model.

Re: Soapbox: Call Of Duty Can Work On Switch, Activision Just Needs To Pull The Trigger

Deathwalka

@Saego you are right and I know, it is powerful for what it is. When the switch was being made they could have put the newer pascal chip in, I think that’s what it’s called? Lol but they went with the k1 tegra for price and reasonable power. So it could have been a lot more powerful, and tbf it’s only needed a little extra to the point that these aaa games could be bought over with not to much compromise.
And yes Mario and Zelda are not on the others, but it’s just that right now we really don’t have many of those scale games so I guess I’m just feeling a bit salty over it lol
Also so many mobile type games are flooding the eshop so I’m really hoping we get some ports this year. But again a lot of the ports are compromised quite a bit, and I think where the switch will really shine for aaa games is where they are specially made from the ground up for the switch.

Re: Soapbox: Call Of Duty Can Work On Switch, Activision Just Needs To Pull The Trigger

Deathwalka

You know it’s articles like this that bring me down to earth again on the switch, it’s just not as powerful as it should be
We still are missing out on so much even though we have had a great 2017. I love my switch, but after playing my brothers new xbox one s or whatever it’s called lol the switch really shows how underpowered it is. Yes power doesn’t make games I know that better then anyone as I’m a fan of the old grittier ps2 and xbox games and graphics lol but we seem to be missing out on a lot. I know it will change but I get the feeling that maybe the switch is still missing so many features because maybe....just maybe.....it might not able to handle them all? I hope I’m wrong but I just have this sinking feeling that even if apps, browser, virtual console, online all come out...I think it may wreak havoc on the limits of the switch?

Re: Review: The Longest Five Minutes (Switch)

Deathwalka

This caught my attention immediately in December last year when Nintendo showed a trailer on their YouTube channel.
I really liked the idea too but that price is putting me off massively for what it is, so I guess il be waiting for a sale for this one.

Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards

Deathwalka

@Heavyarms55 I was about to say the same thing lol
It’s ridiculous when you can buy 3 cards totalling 600mb and it would still,cost less then half of what they want for this 512gb card!
It’s crazy if they think the majority would pay for that, hell its more then close to double the cost of the system. But it will drastically come down eventually because they won’t get as many buyers.
But tbf it probably costs them very little to make so it’s probably all profit for them regardless of halving the price.

Re: Both The Room And The Amnesia Games Are Being Considered For Nintendo Switch

Deathwalka

Part of me gets a bit dissapointed when I hear about mobile games I have played coming to the switch console, Idk why but it cheapens the switch for me.
The only gripe I have about the switch is it’s lack of power compared to what it could have been, but I guess that will come in the next generation.
The eshop has so many games on there that I personally feel should not have been put on the switch but I guess they want to fill the library with as much as possible.
It’s time now we do start getting some bigger games now as we have many indie/mobile type games already.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?

Deathwalka

I’m trying to beat xenoblade, on chapter 8.
I gotta say some parts of where it’s supposed to be serious is so cheesy and a little cringe. I wish it didn’t feel like a teen romance novel at times with all the cliches :/
But when I start something I like to finish it, it defo could be a great game, so far it’s just a good game.
I hope octopath traveller delivers a better mature story with some feels.

Re: These New Layers Of Fear Screenshots Might Keep You Awake At Night

Deathwalka

Looking forward to this one, although I have been burnt by the horror offerings released so far, mainly because they are shoddy bugged ports by devs. Don’t knock twice dev Wales interactive have another game coming which I was interested in until I saw they were involved. It’s sad as the dkt game is still buggy as hell and your character slides to the left or forward without me even controlling! And as we all know immersion is the best trait a horror can have, but bugs like these break the game. Hope this is different, as the other guy mentioned I have had friends say they hated this game but others saying they liked it...either way I will take the chance on it as it’s one my fav genre.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Service Will Go Live This September

Deathwalka

@retro_player_22 I thought that joeynator was trolling with that comment which is why I didn’t respond to it lol
I would personally not call the cost of a sandwich every month expensive considering it costs more with other consoles.
I’m sure it will get fleshed out with more features too

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Riding High On Switch's Wave, But What Does It Need To Do To Stay There?

Deathwalka

Guys it’s way too early to be worrying about if Nintendo will release switch exclusives, it’s the first month of the year for goodness sakes, so many drama queens it’s ridiculous lol
Nintendo are not stupid, they have it all planned out, none of us or these writers no anything about how a corporation like that is run and what it takes to stay on top but I guess people love to put their 2 cents in.
If by the next direct or by summer June July time, if they have still not announced anything regarding exclusives, online, apps or virtual console then by all means I too would be a little concerned but the fact is even if all this come at the end of the year and all we eat are ports and indies they will still coast off of this. The only question is will they get complacent in this year and take their foot off the gas? It’s the only thing that can make it a bad year, at the very least they will have a good year if not great.
These articles are a good read but it really is too early to predict

Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U

Deathwalka

Love this news lol
I hope it’s butt hurt the troll and the switch haters who prophesied the demise of it, all those comments and articles used to really irritate me, nothing worse then seeing opinions blanketed in ignorance and their self serving comments.
Also on the topic of these numbers people doubt that the same numbers or more cannot be achieved because of no Zelda or Mario?
Just these sales stats alone willl make people purchase, devs take notice and Nintendo raise the bar as these numbers show a successful product which has not yet even completed a year of its life.
Nintendo know now how the cookie crumbles and they will continue the evolution of the switch, which is probably not even at half of what it’s meant to do, i.e apps, virtual console, internet.
Can’t wait to see what we will get this year, exciting times!
On a side note, the impatient part of me really wants a more powerful switch 2 to come out...I know I know, that’s probably a couple of years away?

Re: Soapbox: Monster Hunter World Has Claimed Its Prize, But Capcom Shouldn't Forget Nintendo

Deathwalka

Lol why do some people act like this is a nail in the coffin for 3rd party from capcom or other devs just because it is now successful!
Who cares! Fair play to capcom, I for one am happy for the ps4 and Xbox owners as they can experience it. Apparently many are saying it’s the best Monster Hunter in the series! So who knows what the future will bring, god knows we got an amazing year coming on the switch.

Re: The Dream Of Crowdfunded Switch Dock SFANS Has Turned Into A Nightmare

Deathwalka

Personally don’t see why this was ever a thing, as I see it as such a tiny thing to just unplug your dock carry it with you in a bag and take it to your friends or whatever. It takes me 30 seconds to unplug it and out it in my bag, the weight is nothing as I could give it to my 2 year old nephew to carry for me ( although he might throw it at a wall lol) and then setting up at my friends would take a minute!
Is this so bad that people want to pay money to back something that is not Nintendo made or even guaranteed to deliver?
One of my friend takes his around all the time whilst carrying his guitar and amp lol sorry but I don’t get the logic?!
I mean how big was the original model? Was it actually pocket size??

Re: Review: Celeste (Switch eShop)

Deathwalka

It’s a great game, was expecting a 9..
Game is difficult though so be prepared, my only gripe is that I get tired having to hold the r trigger down, as it needs a slight extra effort to hold it down.
Other then that I am enjoying dying countless times to finally find a way and then smash the level.

Re: Video: We Made Our Own Nintendo Labo Toy-Con

Deathwalka

@gatorboi352 dude I don’t think it will flop, not a full failure anyway...reason is Nintendo will easily make there money back from this, and kids, who by the way this is for, are going to love this!
Man when I was a little tyke I’d have loved this posh cardboard, instead I played golf with an empty toilet roll to putt in.

Re: Soapbox: Alex And Dom Discuss If Dark Souls Will Really Work On Switch

@WhistleFish woah cut down all the swears, that was the most dramatic use of cuss words ever! You really should just paint your nails when you get this angry 😂 it’s nice to Know you ruined your evening, as that post full of swears must have got your dramatic self warned! Guess it speaks volumes about how you were bought up tut tut
Another troll I can happily ban!
P.s guys I wish I could show you this trolls post but it was too expletive lol also he said some pretty nasty stuff about everyone on here and nl staff! Like what they even do to this guy!??! I can happily announce the troll did say he will show himself out so won’t be having to block him afterall
