@AmplifyMJ Yeah they're quite happy to review games from Publishers who straight up abuse and rape their staff then sack them but draw the line with a game JK was never even involved with.
@LadyCharlie Honestly there is no best version. The PS4 version has exclusive DLC and is the best console version, Switch has timed a timed Pattinson skin plus portable play while PC has the best visuals (now that its fixed).
Too bad Knight is looking pretty damn rough on Switch. Might buy Arkham City for some portable open world Batman but i think shell stick with my PS4 version of Knight if i want to play that.
@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.
@Yoshif3 "back to form" You TotK haters really are funny. TotK is the 2nd best selling Zelda game, has universal acclaim and just won best Nintendo game of the year so sorry dude Nintendo don't give two sh#ts what a very small minority think.
Yeah its a well deserved win for Baldur's Gate 3 as its incredible and my GOTY as well. TotK is a close 2nd though and if it had won GOTY i would have been still happy.
@GooseLoose1 Skyward Sword was loved by critics but its only in recent time fans have started to warm to it more. End of the day Breath of the Wild came after and i do think the reception to SS all around plus sales led to the massive shift in formula
@Arawn93 "(which is peak irony when the original Zelda game was never like OoT either)"
Yeah they forgot the original Zelda game is pretty much the prototype for BotW and hell even OoT toys with the full open world idea at times. BotW/TotK was inevitable since the very first Zelda game.
@-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.
@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.
@Vyacheslav333 Why? The idea of MP is rooted in the design, fighting a broken AI that reads your inputs just isn't what the majority want in a fighting game and we should be thankful NRS even bother to offer a single player side.
@blindsquarel Well the reason for that is games run way way faster off a SSD/HDD then a very slow Blu Ray disc. Wouldn't be shocked if the Switch 2 also requires installs as well.
@Edu23XWiiU Interesting you say that when pretty much everyone agrees whose read The Boys that the show improves on it in every way including Homelander. Also no they aren't bad versions of evil Supes but i can see you want to think the opposite to everyone else 🙄🤷♂️
@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.
@DogDetective That's pretty bad because the Invasion mode is the quickest and easiest way to unlock the seasonal currency that buys the limited time seasonal content, you're basically forced into playing online where the payouts are smaller.
@Vyacheslav333 Fully fledged story mode, tons of unlockables and various different modes. I put in over 1000K hours into MK11 and half of that was in single player modes. A visual novel that has a few fights doesn't even come close to what MK offers.
@Cashews I was meaning gaming as a whole, on PS5/Xbox the $70/£70 price is sadly more or less standard now. Switch rarely gets that price as its a rare a new AAA release hits it at launch.
@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.
@nocdaes The Tekken, Street Fighter and MK community rarely crossover and most of the SF and Tekken community are too snobbish to play MK. Nah MK will do well as its very popular and appeals to a far wider audience.
The Steam Deck is PS4 level and its around £350ish. A PS5 level Switch 2 what would straight up need a SSD as well is going to be around £400-£500 at the very least. Sorry i don't buy it and would be a 180 that would kill the momentum the Switch built.
@SalvorHardin I mean in MKX and MK11 the characters were aged up a fair bit, the characters were mostly young looking or just plain young prior to MKX. It makes sense to go back to the younger days expecially from a narrative standpoint.
@SwagaliciousJohnson I mean its not its a direct sequel. By that logic Spider-Man 2 is DLC, Pokemon Silver/Gold is DLC, Smash Ultimate is DLC, God of War Ragnarok is DLC, Baldur's Gate 3 is DLC, The Last of Us Part 2 is DLC and so on. Such a dumb take and its like you have never see direct sequels before.
I swear R* are sponsoring these DF Red Dead videos as they make pretty wild claims in them. The 360 is better then the Switch version if ran on a Series S/X, way less blurry and runs at 1440p/4K. Even the PS4 is lacking due to a softer and more blurry image compared to the sharper and clearer 360 version running in BC.
