Re: Zelda: TOTK And Mario Wonder Land GOTY Nominations At The Game Awards 2023

@theoryofeverywhere "barely even scratched the surface of Ultrahand. It is just so big and has so many possibilities"
Ultrahand comment aside this could be used to describe BG3. To be clear i think both TotK and BG3 are pretty much equal but there's something about BG3 that just puts ahead of everything else for me, its a game where you think you done everything only to find out you missed huge chunks of the map or a companion or god knows how many quests. Its a game where the ways of doing many of the questlines feel endless and its a game where a simple sounding quest turns into something far bigger. It also contains some of the best written and best acted characters in gaming who you can't help but fall in love with and miss when you're not playing. Its also pretty damn funny as well with a wicked sense of humour at times. TotK is incredible though and its very much worthy of winning, i'm just happy 2023 contains games of this level.

Re: Tears Of The Kingdom Continues To Prove That 'Open World Zelda' Is A Best-Selling Formula

@-wc- If a "traditional" Zelda released on Switch i can bet it wouldn't be anywhere near the numbers of the open world games.

People forget that Skyward Sword had a fairly bad rep, its a great game taking on its own but its formula had grown stale and it was a fairly disliked entry. BOTW breathed new life into an aged series and TOTK despite what some on here want to think perfected what BOTW started. Fans can moan all they want but the sales talk and Nintendo will listen to that instead of some grumpy old school fans longing for a stale formula they previous moaned Skyward Sword for having.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Poll Reveals Cross-play As Most Requested Online Feature

@Vyacheslav333 Why would i play on easy? I want some kind of challenge.

I play the MK1 story mode once, dabble in the lackluster Invansion mode and then put 100's of hours into Kombat League why? Because i want the challenge, i want the thrill of interacting with a real person and not a predictable AI, i want that rush of a good game where both of us are so close to beating each other where every blow and combo matters.

Yes fighters having loads of single player content is fantastic but the playerbase will always side with things that are MP focused first because its where the majority of their time is spent with the games. Finally your idea of single player "content" doesn't sound exciting, a 30 hour visual novel with a small handful of boring fights is not really content and i wouldn't even class that as a real fighting game. Don't get me wrong if you like that sort of thing then more power to you but there's a reason NRS prefer a 6-7 cinematic story over 30 hours of text and pretty artwork and its because most players would hardly touch it.

Re: Video: Mortal Kombat 1 Graphics Comparison Reveals Switch Performance & Resolution

@SBandy1 What scummy practise? Its basically a store with a small handful of rotating cheap skins you can earn in game and most likely won't buy regardless due to how lackluster they are. The best most desirable skins right now are the seasonal skins and they can't be got with MTX, you have to earn them by playing not buying and they are currently the looks everyone is using online not whatever little the MTX store offers.

Enjoy the new season btw it was the best one in years and has an air of classic Sunny to it.

@SBandy1 The MTX are pretty light and easily ignored, in fact they're so light i haven't even spent my free MTX currency the premium version gives you as the store has so little to spend on, i've earned far more stuff by playing then the MTX store offers. As for the "lootbox" well its basically a shrine you give 1000 koins to and get a random reward back, the koins for it can't be bought with real money and can only be earned by playing and that was just how it was in MK11.

If you're going to moan about a game you never played at least get your facts straight. In terms of MTX Street Fighter 6 is far worse.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mortal Kombat 1

DennisReynolds

@Vyacheslav333 Yeah i would rather play a cinematic story then a mediocre visual novel that has a few fights put into it. Fact is NR raised the bar for single player content in fighters, MK has always been stacked with content and its why Capcom went hard on single player content for SF6.
