Re: Video: Digital Foundry Breaks Down DOOM On Switch In A Unique Way

@JaxonH
Yes! I agree wholeheartedly.
At first, during the Wii U era, we were getting shafted on content when third party games came to the system at all.

Now the main complaint is 30fps?! Like come on!
The game looks great and it will have ALL of the content! That to me is a win! And it can be played on the go! That's steps above what the Wii U had.

Bethesda is bringing great, nearly current, games to the Switch. Can we appreciate that and have fun gaming like the good old days?

Re: Review: Robonauts (Switch eShop)

It makes sense for them not to currently rate the game though. If/when the patch comes, then the rating would be off because the problems that exist currently make it unplayable and they have addressed that. However, once the patch comes and has fixed the problems that plague the game, that would be the time to let those interested know how the game stands up.

They even said they would most likely recommend it once the problems are corrected so the lack of a rating is justified in that case.

There's also the fact most reviewers don't review a game after patches to reflect the current state of a game.

Re: Retail Version of DOOM on Switch Will Need a Download for Online Multiplayer

Desa

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
The Switch is the first modern console where I have been able to plug in a retail game of any sort and just play it. The fact that there will be times when a portion of the game has to be downloaded to the SD card...I don't see the problem.
If I lose the memory card? I could lose the cart itself as well.
Downloading a portion of the game? I've had to do that with EVERY retail game I bought for my ps4, waiting patiently to play them.
This isn't an end of the world problem at all. At least I honestly can't see it that way, and I normally agree with you on a lot of points. But until I can slide a disk into my ps4 and play a game with no updates, this isn't anything new.

Re: Mario Party: The Top 100 Will Combine The Best of the Series on 3DS

This is one of the only games post-Switch I am happy is a Nintendo 3ds release.
My friends have a 3ds and not a Switch at this time, and both love Mario Party, so I'm sure I'll be keeping my 3ds around a little longer thanks to that. So yes, I don't mind one more game remaining a 3ds exclusive. The era of Switch has only just begun.

How To Train Your Dragon...er, Monster Hunter Stories for me for sure tomorrow as a retail purchase.
Other than that I'm sure I'll pick up a few of the other titles as well, but that is the only automatic buy for me this week.

@MrGawain
Why isn't Mario still that game for little Jimmy to open during Christmas? Mario releases in late October, which is only two months away from Christmas and most people do Christmas shop early these days. It's most likely releasing at the perfect time to maximize sales.

Re: FIFA 18 on Switch to Include Ultimate Team, EA Boasts of Most 'Advanced' Portable Version

@Azooooz
I can't speak for everyone but for me its like a hurt if you do, hurt if you don't situation. If people buy into this knowing how it is missing a bit of content like say story mode then it might become the new benchmark for other 3rd parties. If you don't buy to make a statement then they won't support the console anymore at all not fully grasping the reason behind the lack of a purchase.
However, there is a Switch mode to this game that could actually make up for the lack of story mode. Time will tell, so I'm currently sitting on the fence for now.

Re: Pikmin Rewards Arrive on My Nintendo in North America

Maybe one day we will look back on the early stages Mynintendo and laugh while holding back a cringe, thinking about what it used to be and how far it has come.
Unfortunately, today doesn't seem to be that day, but I will get the theme because why not?

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Various Portable Chargers to the Test With Nintendo Switch

@JayPley But you can save at any time playing zelda. It's pretty much the same if you were playing at home and had to hurry up and go somewhere. You save and play once you get back, except if you were playing on your TV you now have the option of taking it with you on the go.
Not sure why the battery is that big of a deal. Plus it lasts longer than that for me with the screen brightness on max power.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

Desa

@Switch81tch His form of freedom of expression wasn't a neutral point for a public forum, and it could have been seen as an affront to a certain group of people. Since Playtonic did make their own comment public, it's turn into a something bigger, more escalated problem, but I think at the core, the fact that his thoughts weren't that of being accepting to everyone is why they are choosing to remove his voice in the first place.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

Desa

@Mortenb I think their form of diversity means being accepting of all races and creeds which Jon kind of talked about in a bad light. His comments weren't neutral anymore, and there's already enough race wars going around. It's pretty much if you do or don't somebody's going to hate you for it. That's just the world we live in, but I think a lot of people are taking the reason Playtonic are removing his voice from the game in the wrong way.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

Desa

Huh??? Some of these comments...like seriously. Where is the line drawn because it's 'free speech'? Sure anyone can say what they want, as they want, when they want, but the same holds true for the company, and Playtonic decided they didn't want any part of that. Their use of their own free speech if you really want to call it that, was that they didn't like what he said about a certain group of people and more power to them.
All he should really expect at this point is a refund if he donated anything to have his voice added in.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

Desa

At the end of the day people should be judged by their character.
I would like to say that's what Playtonic were doing in this particular case. Their game is for everyone to enjoy, mixed, black, white, yellow, green, whoever.
If any of Jon's comments could make ANY person feel uncomfortable I feel like they made the right decision. Though I agree with the few who said the delivery could have been better because now it has caused a rift to be formed.

Re: Playtonic Removes JonTron's Voice from Yooka-Laylee

Desa

@GothicZM Nobody should be attacked for their race, no matter what race you are. And that is the most idiotic reason I have ever heard. Do they not have control over their own actions? I'm sure they do. Anybody can be a racist. I just wish more people would choose to get along with everyone. We shouldn't be judged immediately based on skin color alone, but even in this day and age race is still a major reason for race divide.

Re: Official Financial Results Q&A Clarifies Kimishima's "3DS Successor" Comment

Desa

Some of you guys have been singing about the 3ds's death for so long that when it actually does happen you can't really say I told you so. xD After all, we all know that yeah its going to happen eventually as that's the eventual fate of hardware in the gaming world, but will it officially be this year or next?
Anyway, I love my 3ds. If they can squeeze another year or two out of it by all means please do if the games will be worth it. x3

Re: 3DS Enjoys Bumper End To 2016 With Hardware And Software Sales Both Up

Desa

It is currently, and will most likely be, my favorite system of all time. Counting indie games, it has a wide array of great games both destined to be cult classics and just overly replayed for the heck of it.
I know a lot of people want Nintendo to discontinue it, but 40 bucks for some of the gems that come to the system? I am not ready to say goodbye just yet.

Re: Editorial: Pricing Blunders Have Distorted The Narrative Around Nintendo Switch

Desa

I mean come on guys. Out of the box you get a home console machine. On top of that it turns into a portable. Home console games on the go! Detachable joy-con controllers with more tech than I can remember in them, and there isn't one but two controllers so no need to buy another for two player play! And again there is the dock which isn't just a dock. There's tech in it too. 300 is reasonable. A game packed in would have been great, but its not an extreme stretch in price. Its just Nintendo is seen as so inferior there is no reason their brand new home console should be 300 and it has great potential.
