@thugpipe I am using the Anker Soundcore Q30 headphones and there is minimal latency as well, plus with the bonus of noise canceling, I feel sorry for all the other people whose headphones aren't up to the task though.
@anoyonmus I have not played a FNAF game as of yet although I know what they are all about, want to get the collection on Switch but am hoping for a good Halloween sale.
Excellent, I would prefer the Switch version, am just waiting for this version of the game to be in a better state, this is a step in the right direction.
I use to just drive around all the Mario Kart 64 levels in time trials, just exploring, trying to uncover secrets, still did plenty of regular races though.
Heck yes I am glad this reviewed well, I pulled the trigger on preordering it this morning without waiting for a review, which is very unusual for me but judging from what I had seen I had faith the game would deliver, and it has so I am happy and can't wait to play it.
@BloodNinja True you can get the Japanese versions, I don't know though, something about having the American version appeals alot more to me, and I would need a Super Famicom as well. There are some GameCube games I want to play but they are obscene prices, and those games tend to be more text heavy than Super NES games so a Japanese version won't do most of the time.
Agreed, there are so many classic games I want to play but they are priced too high for me to want to take the plunge, I know it's simple supply and demand but it discourages me from playing games from past generations.
Loved that this game reviewed well but I have always been hesitant to try the series because I was not sure there is enough bang for your buck for people who just like to play alone, I wonder if the game has enough longevity to be worth the price. I am very tempted though, this game looks so incredibly wacky and fun, something we need more of in games.
This gives me alot more confidence in Retro Studios, we haven't seen something from them in so long that I was starting to doubt whether they were still capable of making amazing games like they did back then.
Unfortunately I never had much faith for this game when the core game in the series is just as unpolished and tedious at times. Shame as it's a good idea marred by poor execution.
@Dpullam Just depends on when I am in the mood to play my PlayStation, could be awhile with everything coming out this year but I do really want to play it.
Bought Broken Age a long time ago and finally got around to playing it, the game definitely has that trademark Double Fine humor and reminds me why I loved Psychonauts so much and why I want to play the sequel, (seriously if no one has played Psychonauts go check it out it is one of my favorite 3D platformers.) It's only on Xbox and Playstation though.
I don't care about 4k I just want more consistent framerates, I am ok with the graphical fidelity we currently have I just want it to be 60 FPS too, that would look stunning imo.
I don't ever play any of these fan made projects so it doesn't bother me that they are shut down really. It sucks for the developers who put time into making the games but they must have known the risks when they started development, Nintendo has being doing this stuff for a long time now, right or not.
While the soundtrack may not be as iconic, when compared to Ocarina of Time I still prefer the soundtrack, but I am a fan of songs in the minor keys. They tend to convey more emotion, at least to me.
I plan on getting the physical version but I am in no hurry, I have plenty of games I want to play already as it is, could be six months before I get around to this game.
You had me at Lovecraftian/Gothic Horror World, definitely going to get this game soon, looks to be right up my alley. Playing FPS games with gyro on my Switch is my preferred way to play games like this.
Playing some Fortnite and tried out the Minecraft Dungeons trial, it's suprisingly good, wish it was on sale so I could pick it up. I think it would be a good idea to discount games that are giving a free trial kind of like they do with gamepass, so if you like it enough you can just buy it for cheaper and continue where you left off.
Doubt I will get in on this, playing Hello Neighbor was an interesting experience but also a frustrating one, if the game had a higher level of polish and better game design it would have been so much better, as it is it is just ok.
I think the collection as a whole holds up well imo, I played through Lion King and Aladdin many times on Switch and loved my time with it. Lion King's major problem is it is too unforgiving, Aladdin is a great time from beginning to end imo, even has the movie's soundtrack in places.
My bro and I have been playing this game lately because we were looking for a good 3rd person coop shooter on Switch, which the system is pretty lacking. The game is pretty fun to play when you get tons of buffs, almost feel overpowered at times but I still have yet to beat the game.
I am sure it is more a case of Nintendo and Sony not wanting gamepass on their platforms, Microsoft would love it if every system had gamepass but there is likely little incentive for Nintendo and Sony to want it, especially when Sony already has their own alternative and Nintendo has the Nintendo Switch Online games.
Once everything is fully digital I will have to reconsider whether or not I want to continue to support the newer stuff that comes out, the idea of not being able to buy physical versions of Zelda and Mario is not very appealing to me, I don't care so much about other systems as I have tons of games digitally on PlayStation but Nintendo developed stuff I always buy physically.
I loved the story mode of this game, after playing this game and dabbling with the Sims 2 on PC I was surprised that there was no story mode, the series lost a large part of the appeal for me because of that, I like having an established goal where you feel like you are progressing rather than just making your own story.
@Pikki Yeah that would be pretty epic, there's also all sorts of things they could do if a horror game was based on that. I want that or either one based on Jurassic Park hiding from dinosaurs in a game similar to Alien Isolation would be fun, with the goal to escape the park. There are so many untapped ideas for the horror genre.
I can't wait to give the series a try when it comes out later this year, I played the Amnesia Collection and loved that and am eager to play more horror games, the Fatal Frame games in particular always looks so cool to me, largely because of the setting.
Hopefully that results in a lot of posts launch support in addition to the recently announced character and course, I want to get the game I just want there to be just a little more meat on its bones.
We need more classic Sega franchises to come back from these indies because they will do an infinitely better job than Sega, Golden Axe would be a cool one to tackle next. I will definitely keep an eye out for the TMNT game because after SOR4 they have proven they can take a classic formula and make it better.
This has been my go-to series for beatemups ever since I was a kid and first played SOR2 on Genesis after my aunt gave me her copy, played it so many times with my brother and plan to do the same thing with SOR4, it is my favorite so far, the gameplay is just so satisfying.
@Dilly-Mick I have indeed, but in a game this competitive and skill based I don't think there should be a reward that makes you better inherently better, would prefer complete fairness for newcomers and veterans alike, that way victories are won via the ability of the player and nothing else. There are plenty of ways to provide rewards that do not give you buffs to damage and such, stuff that is just fun to have like cosmetic items, proof of the time you put in the game.

Not a terrible concept to be honest, now the real question is has it been executed well? If so this could be a fun time.
