Re: UK Charts: Super Mario 3D All-Stars Bounces Back As March 31st Withdrawal Looms

Look at what happened with the NES mini, the initial launch some ended up spending silly money on what is a very simple single board computer inside a fancy plastic shell, thankfully they made sure there was plenty to go around with the snes mini launch

People have no common sense and buy stuff off scalpers that are being insanely over charged for

Same thing happened when "retro" gaming came hip and cool, now it's expensive to buy old games and old consoles lol

Re: Review: Taxi Chaos - A Crazy Taxi Spiritual Successor That Fails To Go The Extra Mile

Doktor-Mandrake

First comment was spot on with the ball is in segas court now

Crazy Taxi has had rereleases before like on x360 and ps3, and Sega even has virtua racing as a switch exclusive, so why not have more?

Though it probably wouldn't have offspring or a lot if any of the old music, or advertising, but if it's still crazy taxi it's still worth it

Fond memories of my mate telling me about how to really play, using accelerate break and hand break or whatever to boost, crazy taxi had a lot of depth to its mechanics then it first looks

Re: Did The Official Pokémon Twitter Account Just Tease A Diamond And Pearl Return?

Doktor-Mandrake

Infact I've been tempted to pick up either sword, or shield.. assuming they offer a better challenge then let's go does

I'm one of those that never kept following pokemon after 1st gen, and never played the games outside the ones on gameboy and pokemon stadium on the 64.

So with that and the fact a lot of people on here trash sword & shield as a pretty mediocre pokemon game I'm still unsure if it's worth me buying

@ImagineerNik I did too especially as a remake and I didnt mind that we captured pokemon instead of battle them

The only thing I find disappointing is how mind numbingly easy it is, I find myself just not really putting any thought into what moves I use

Could of used a harder mode, unless it does as I've not even completed it yet tho I am nearing the end, just kinda got burnt out before finishing it

Re: Pyra and Mythra Are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Newest DLC Fighters

@Trajan I'm largely the same, fighting games online is full of people that just practise with same fighter over and over, I'm more casual play style and cant beat local play with a friend and a few beers

Though my friend sucks at FG so it's kinda boring sometimes being so easy

That's why when playing FG online I like to try and find online friends to play with rather then randoms

Great, dont know who they are though

I was really hoping it wouldn't be just more anime rpg characters personally as not my cup of tea, least I have plenty of other characters to play as i suppose, this games roaster is stupidly massive xD

I dunno, just start to feel it's a never ending stream of anime characters getting added.. give me waluigi, crash bandicoot, spyro god damn it

Re: Panic Button Explains Why DOOM Eternal's Cutscenes Run At 20fps On Switch

Doktor-Mandrake

@ModdedInkling hot-swapping does not mean switching between simply two weapons, it's not a hard concept to grasp that a keyboard has many buttons meaning can switch to any weapon in an instant

Maybe you need to read because I called the DE port fantastic, and the only time I mentioned performance was when someone called switch version "superior"

The pc version IS the best way to experience the game, theres nothing wrong with the switch version and never said there was

Stop trying to prolong some dumb argument just because I'm not some delusional ninty boy

Re: Youtooz Is Releasing Official Banjo-Kazooie Figures, Pre-Orders Open Next Week

@boxyguy If they do a new BK and did it right would be great, I feel they should do a switch release as well instead of making it an exclusive title, same with the new PD really I feel, they're ips that should be on a nintendo system

I read article years ago and recall a big reason a lot of the original rareware devs leaving after transition to microsoft was because they werent just left to get on with the game, nintendo were a lot more relaxed and wouldn't butt-in on the actual game development process of it too much but Microsoft were rather different

It's why I think playtonic formed as they like that independency but you do still wonder what would of happened had they stayed with nintendo

Re: Panic Button Explains Why DOOM Eternal's Cutscenes Run At 20fps On Switch

@TheRealMW Yet it was the other person that said the switch version is superior, due to motion controls, so why arent you directing this comment to them?

I have literally nothing against the switch port, it's a fantastic port, but people saying its superior to pc? And then insulting others for saying that's not true? That IS childish

You can re-read my comments, I think you'll find I never called the pc version superior

@Edu23XWiiU Superior? 😂😂😂

Yeah cus you can switch to any weapon on the fly, right? Oh nope, still have to use weapon wheel, and no gyro is not as accurate as a mouse when u have ur arm floating around in the air

I'll get a kick out of this comment next time I play at native 1440p and at 120fps, maxed out setting.. "superior" 😂

All you've done is proven my point, always the same with people on here whether it be framerate, resolution or even input settings.

Re: Video: Here's How Mario Kart Could Look Running On A 4K Console

Doktor-Mandrake

MK8? Surely the next MK should be a new entry

I laughed so much as all the various comments saying "cant tell the difference, watching on 1080p display"

Always great to see so many community members getting salty over something they've never experienced, 1440p and 4k are like night and day compared to 1080p, and especially 720p

Re: Microsoft's Edge Extensions Store Has Reportedly Been Hosting Illegal Copies Of Nintendo Games

@Yorumi @Yorumi funny thing is I never said my n64 games are failing, this is something you came up with in your own head

I said some of them are starting to struggle, then went on to specifically tell you it was with lylat wars, nearer to the end of the game when a level failed to load up.. that.was.it.

Apparently that means I abuse my games? Why? Because one game that played up a little bit? LOL, Like I said, I have a modest collection, and even I dont have the time to check ALL my old games and play from start to finish on a regular basis.

So it's a very bold claim for you, a collector, to make out you regularly play ALL your games from start to finish to feel confident they all work 100% as intended

Or maybe, the reality is you don't, because that would require a lot of time and effort especially for someone like you a collector. Something you were keen to point out but a collector cannot test EVERY game they own from start to finish on a regular basis.

All I said was old games and old consoles can fail, even cartridge based ones, what have you exposed exactly? Other then the fact you like to attack people aggressively when they point out things you dont like to hear? Not my fault if what I said led to you insulting me, that's on you. Grow up and learn how to have a civil discussion.
