I am surprised this game is even coming to Switch and I am very interested to see the final product, regardless of the quality of the port I plan to get it on PlayStation.
Even back in the day I found these games incredibly dull when compared to the likes of Diablo 2, only way I enjoyed it was in multiplayer and even then it was just ok at best.
I hope the traversal is fun and fluid then, because the previous games are big enough as it is and if you told me there would be a game world five times as big as Xenoblade Chronicles 1 that would have blown my mind back then.
As long it is fun to navigate that is cool with me.
Such a great game, played it on PS5 and liked it enough to Platinum it, it is the type of game where you are best off going into it knowing as little as possible because the game is all about exploring and learning about the solar system it takes place in.
Wow I didn't expect this game to be that good, I skipped XC 2 but I absolutely loved the first game so hearing that this one is more in line with that makes me want to play it that much more, hopefully I have some more time in the near future to do so.
I personally think it is the best Sonic has ever been, right up there with Sonic 2, if this game never gets a sequel that is a huge missed opportunity.
I would not say it is the best but it is very good, much better than alot of people give it credit for and for me a large part of that is the way Mario controls. In that game he controls so precise, it just feels great to perform tricks to get around the levels which in a game where there is a lot of verticality in some of them that is a big deal, it is half the fun really.
I liked Sunshine more than I will ever like the Galaxy games just because of how Mario feels.
For me personally honestly that's fine, I have played those games more than enough and have no desire to revisit them and prefer to enjoy new experiences these days, that being said it is a bummer for anyone who has yet to play them.
I own Persona 5 on PlayStation but have never played it specifically so I could play it on Switch, the fact that it is the Royal version is icing on the cake. The Switch is made for games like this imo.
That is a really good price for the game, was almost expecting it to launch at full price, the only question now is the performance, if it is solid it could be worth a pickup.
This to me screams a game that is best waiting for a 50 percent sale on, then it will be solid value for your money so that is probably what I would do since I am not particularly eager to play these games again apart from Sonic CD.
It seems like alot of the questions he didn't give a direct answer to, but that is par for the course in interviews like these.
I do hope Sonic Frontiers is good but based on Sonic Team's rocky past I am a bit worried and if it doesn't deliver then we have another long wait before we will have another chance of getting a good one.
I could have sworn it was said to be almost done, and that was 5 years ago, makes me wonder what happened, they must have decided to completely start from scratch in order for us to not have heard anything by now.
It's disappointing, would be really cool to be able to play a brand new Pikmin game on Switch, love that series, I do hope the continue the simultaneous co-op aspect of Pikmin 3 as an option though, that just makes sense when there are multiple player characters.
Since it is utilizing the RE engine like MH Rise is it could possibly come to the Switch somewhere down the line but until that announcement happens I am going to assume it is mainly going to be on PlayStation/Xbox.
I have been playing alot of Monster Hunter Rise lately, I don't really need a demo for the expansion because I already really enjoy the base game so I know more monsters to hunt is enough for me, the addition of Master Rank is a big improvement to me even if some of the current hunts are pretty tough as it is.
I personally wouldn't play a Crash game like that, I am not the biggest Crash fan but the ones I like are just the classic 3D platformers, any time you through multiplayer into the mix it waters down the gameplay imo, not that there aren't fun multiplayer games.
For me personally I just don't see Sonic as the type of game that suits an open world format, that is usually best reserved for RPGs like Zelda or the Elder Scrolls games, if anything they should have had a Mario Odyssey style Sonic game, basically Sonic Lost World, but way better. This just seems thrown together without any consideration as to whether or not it will actually work, could it be good? Maybe, but based on the footage I have seen I am not getting my hopes up, making it open world for the sake of it being open world is a bad idea.
I just hope it comes to Switch but considering how far this game is probably off it may be better to expect it for the Switch successor, I hope that happens because I had such a great time playing 11 in bed, the Switch port was just great. If nothing else I also have my PS5 hooked up in the bedroom so either way I am good.
If it is anything like Streets of Rage 4 this game is going to be great, that is legitimately one of the best Beat Em Ups ever made, it's just good fun.
I like the new art style personally but I also have no love for the old game's look as I never played it. But the new one looks sharp and modern as I would expect it to.
It's not bad but the amount of games and the customization options for them is lackluster, this should have been a compilation of all or at least most of the previous games in the Wii entries but instead we got this, which arguably has less content than a game that came out 16 years ago. For the price it should be better.
Honestly at this point I am a little tired of talking about this, the back and forth rumors on this for the last few years have lowered my excitement for this so at this point if it comes, awesome but I am not getting my hopes up until we see something from Nintendo themselves.
Out of all these Morrowind is by far my most wanted but I would love it if all these came at some point, I love older PC RPGs, games like Morrowind came out and basically started my interest in PC gaming and even if these never come, I plan on getting a new PC someday so I can relive some of these classics.
The port looks pretty well done, if the Switch version is up to par this could be a nice addition to the Switch library, I did have some fun times with this back in the day on my old and definitely not gaming ready PC, I wouldn't mind experiencing it again on the Switch.
I managed to platinum the game on PS5 but it obviously didn't have all of the technical shortcomings that the Switch version does, and it is definitely not a game for everyone but I enjoyed it enough to complete it, it almost has a Pikmin Vibe in terms of the cute creatures and the story really wasn't too bad either imo.
I have always loved Mario Golf ever since the entry on the Game Boy Advance, never played this one or the GameCube one other than via a demo a long time ago so I am looking forward to giving this one a go.
Probably a sick joke from Konami or someone pretending to be them, but if it is real I would love Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 on the Switch, that would be awesome.
I have enjoyed the zero building in this season so far, and since they have added anti armor rocket launchers now those pesky tanks are no longer overpowered, it is going to be alot more fun.
Oh boy I was afraid this would happen, but if the end product is amazing I don't mind, maybe we can get Wind Waker and Twilight Princess in the meantime.
