Thing is, we'll never get the complete story. The guy could have been continuously insulted over chat in the game, that can more of an affect on people than the actual game itself.
We also don't know what other problems he had to cause the suicidle thoughts, but to pin it all on one thing is serious short sightedness on the papers behalf.

I decided a few weeks ago not waste any more money on the crates, simply because it was so hard to get anything nice.
I've let the crates build up and I've been trading them for painted cars instead. I've gotten atleast 14 good cars from doing this. One guy even traded me his toon explosion for 11 crates, which then went on to be traded 1:1 for a white werewolf.
It's insane what people will trade for crates just so they can have more goes at getting the 1 percent.

It would be nice if Nintendo made an exclusive bike and kart for anyone who has Mario Kart 8 wiiu tied to their account.
The 4 dlc cups in MK 8 were pretty much half a games worth of extra tracks anyway, so if they added another 4 cups, were pretty much getting 2 full MK games in 1.

Eh, I don't get it. They released Yakuza 1 & 2 only in Japan, and cry because it didn't sell well.
We all know the WiiU didn't sell well, and I was under the impression that Japanese gamers tend to buy handhelds more than home consoles, so it's no suprise that it flopped. If they had gone with a wowrldwide release it probably would have done way better.

I wonder how long before that fix will be hacked into?

My 7 year old nephew saw the Switch update at the weekend. He was excited to play it for about 5 minutes, he then got bored and went straight back to playing fortnite.
It's about time they squish any remaining bugs and let Minecraft go. It just feels like it's never been a fully finished game with all of the updates it gets. The only thing left that I would like to see them add is boat racing into mini games and that'll be it for me.

There are only 3 things missing on the Switch UI. A way to send text or doodle messages between friends, a web browser, and the folders. The rest is unnecessary fluff.

@Anti-Matter

@HobbitGamer well, Nintendo obiously got it wrong to focus on sleep with their QoL project. They should be finding ways to help lazy people to be even lazier, and a feeding tube with a colostomy bag is a good place to start. No need to chew food or getting up to got to toilet.
Next they'll be making games that play themselves.

Groan. not more ports.

@gcunit that's not the only case of mannequin love.

@Shellcore now I understand your point. I've only been playing Rocket League since January, so I missed alot of the early stuff.
Tbh though, I think most of the toxicity comes from the high rank players, they're the ones who seem to complain the most about it I don't play ranked much, I'm still in bronze. Most of my time is spent in rumble and snow day.

@Shellcore apart from a few obvious duplication scammers, I rarely see anyone being toxic in my trading groups. Mainly because they get booted pretty quickly.
Tbh, though, the harder to get in game items do turn people into greedy, selfish little scumbags. It's not hard to find stories of this on youtube, even on the official Rocket League forums where people are crying about being scammed.

@Shellcore, Psyonix are adding it to Rocket League soon aswell.

Reading through the comments here, Fornite is deffinitly one of those games that you either like it or you don't.
I got used to playing Black Ops 2 on the WiiU, the maps were alot smaller, so you were never too far away from running into someone from the other team. With fortnite, as someone else mention, you run around loads without much to do. I've played a few rounds, so it's not like I haven't given the game a fair chance because I have.
It's not like it'll be a wasted dowload, my nephews seem to love the game, so I'm sure it'll get played alot when they come over.

I'm just gonna get this out and say what I think about fortnite. It's MEH. I just don't get the hype for this game.
Before you try telling me I'm wrong, it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

For those who want a bluetooth transmitter the fits 3.5mm jack, they sell them on amazon. Like this one.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/FirstE-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Headphones-Transmission-tx80/dp/B06Y57H7H2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1529001013&sr=8-8&keywords=bluetooth+transmitter+3.5mm+jack

Rocket League event crates at rip off prices as per usual.

If they don't muck it up, I'll be getting this.

And no money was wasted on buying this game.

If you're atill playing your WiiU, go for Duck Tales aswell as Dungeons and Dragons, both are great games.

Im pretty sure Nintendo offloaded the voice chat to a mobile app because its one less thing the Switch has to deal with.
I only ever spoke to a couple of people on my wiiu and wii using voice chat, and tbh, I don't really miss it.

It's all to do with maximizing profit. If they can cut out programming games for multiple platforms it's a big win for them. Not having to deal with multiplats also cuts down on the amunt of staff they need aswell.
Tbh though, it will happen at some point, just not for a long while yet.

I'm glad that they're doing some smaller projects. Maybe it'll give them bit morr creative freedom.
Besides, it's better to have a few smaller good games than 1 or 2 downgraded half baked ports.

Ralph wrecks the internet huh? Dunno how I feel about that idea.

With this confirmed, now all I need is for a release date of 90's arcade gp to be announced and I'm happy. These were 2 of my most wanted games for the WiiU when they were announced.
Hopefully they release Road Redemption in a playable state for the Switch, I'll be massively dissapointed after waiting for it to come out if it isn't. It's been in development for so long that there sbould be no excuses for it to be broken.

That new arena makes a change from all of the miserable looking arenas already in the game.
Not a fan of the car or decals though.

I'm buying it if this turns out to be a good game. If it wasn't a starfox game, I'd bet you all would have been interested though.

If star fox racing is anything like these I'l be happy

They're changing around the rewards system aswell by the look of things on their summer updates. They're getting rid of random drops and making them drop as you rank up instead, with better rewards the higher you go.
Also, it's double chances on drops and double paint chances on the drops on crate and non crate items. I've been playing most of this morning and I'm yet to see a painted non crate item though.

If the Switch did get a virtual console, everyone would be whining about paying for the games again anyway. And it's not like Nintendo put much effort into the service on the WiiU or 3DS either. Tbh the virtual console pretty much died the day Nintendo rolled out indie downloads on the Wii.
The other thing to remember is that there have been plenty of retro games coming from Hamster corp, and the releases have been steady for a while now.
I habe my WiiU hooked up to my TV and all of my Wii and WiiU downloads are going nowhere, so no, I'm not bothered about there being no Virtual Console on the Switch.

I'll just keep using my gold points on downloads instead thanks.

@Robotron2084 Yeah, it's not something I'm proud of, but I'm glad I've moved on.
I just think Dom needs to see that he's not alone and that addiction does affect other people too.

@Dom I know what addiction is like, I was hooked on fruit machines for years and ended up with nothing to show for it myself. Luckily I never got into debt and I always made sure I had enough money to live on, but the thought of putting more money into fruit machines when I couldn't afford it was always present.
I've been free from that crippling vice for about 5 years now. This is due to the fact that I was made redundant from my place of work, the company was struggling and eventually closed. So being out of work forced my hand into having to give up. Living on the dole, priorities quickly change and I had to learn how to deal with putting what little money I had into what mattered most.
Gambling and trophey hunting obviously are 2 different things, but at the end of it adiction affects people regardless of what it is that your addicted to. It's a horrible state of existance at times and something that can be embarrasing to admit and hard to talk about.
Trust me, things get easier the more time you spend away from the addictive habits. I'll admit that I miss playing fruit machines because I met alot of nice people in the arcades, but I don't feel the need to go back and waste my money any more.
It's all about training your mind into focusing upon on different things, and from what I've read your on the right road. Good luck Dom.

Button djs, lol. Get some vinyls in your set.

Well, they obviously found a way to get it to work after they said that it wasn't heading to the Switch.

@Andyjm Yeah, what were they thinking, that idea will never catch on.

Oh my gosh yes, this needs to happen. I bet we would have seen more Wave Race and 1080 before now if NoJ hadn't screwed over NST.

Moon patrol was one of my favourites in the arcades. I'm hoping that Hamster will get to bring out Kung Fu Master and Phoenix at some point too.

@SanderEvers um, yeahi know that. I was being snarky

In other words the Switch Pro X will be hiting the shelves early next year.

@cfgk24 that doesn't prove anything other than more games are on the way. If the first year is anything to go by, then my point still stands.
As I said, Nintendo needs to lead the way with the switch capabilities, which is something they should have done in the first year, not wait until the second.

Oh for crying out loud, more crap on the way.
There aren't that many games are taking advantage of the Switch hardware features anyway. Unless something amazingly cool comes along, I doubt we'll see many more either.
This is where Nintendo needs to be leading the way with trying to push what the Switch can do, not endlessly bringing out dx versions of previous games.

I can see many people either struggling to get what they're owed, or some people being a holes and trying to con money from a false claim.

When ever the topic of brexit comes up, I always turn Jonathan Pie on his youtube channel. The guy is a satirist, but he does make some good points aswell.
Here's one of his videos taliking about Theresa May and brexit.. Be warned, there is some swearing in this too.

@TDS_Computer there is an option within the game to save videos of your match.

I'm looking forward to see how the item sorting will work. Hopefully I can split off the items I want to keep from the items that I want to trade.

Them huge wheels and no online. Nah, not buying. Also, I'm asuming the all stars are the fruit because I don't recognize any of the players.
