This is a terribly designed game for what it wants to be, it's an RPG where progression doesnt feel, it's a high risk terribly low reward game and its an adventure game where, so far, i've only found 1 gadget that actually makes the gameplay feel better and not just there to stop me from going to other parts of the map.
Frustrating because it is fun, but there's 0 reward in this rpg game, so im just going through it and i never feel stronger, i see some stats that in the end mean nothing because the enemy in the next part of the game takes more or less the same amount of hits to kill than the last one and i barely understand if im actually getting hit for less or what.
The balance doesnt make sense, some parts are just harder because the enemies are harder even tho supposedly game ease into it, the difficuly spikes are aplenty and not fun.
There's just need to be a lot of rework to be done, if it wants to be an RPG then make me feel stronger, having numbers go up barely counts as an RPG...
it is a good bullet hell game tho, id give it a 6/10.
NEO TWEWY should have been switch exclusive, at least for a year. The series is already tied with Nintendo (i would not be surprised if it sold something like 70/30 in favor of Nintendo) and could have done way better marketing that what Square Enix did, which was literally 0.
NEO TWEWY its a quality game that's unlike anything out there.
And i think Square did a terrible job since even people on this page are mixing TWEWY with NEO lmao
$20 a year with all the games and the extra stuff (like vouchers, 1 voucher paid already for it) + Tetris 99, Pacman, etc... idk, can't believe think this is expensive (i mean, GPU is great, and way better, but its also $180 dollars a year, that's 9 years of NSO)
Oh, and gold coins make paying for NSO even cheaper, so, using your switch and buying games = cheaper NSO
I feel people are looking this from the wrong angle.
That's the most awful UI i've ever seen, it has so many touches to get to where you need to be.It's cute, ill give it that, but thats about it
For all the hate nintendo gets from the switch ui, is one of the most simple and straightforwards out there, clean and precise. It just needs folders, maybe themes.
@Blizzia Yeah, Microsoft single handedly having a lock on governments around the world through lobby to use Microsoft products making countries paying millions and millions of dollars that could be used on public policies is better than a gaming company buying some other gaming company.
@Strictlystyles exactly why? That sounds a bit Xenophobic... Especially when NetEase has been working on a new Japanese studio to develop Single player games (which i guess why they are doing this)
If anything this is pretty good, maybe now we can have a Yakuza female protagonist and being available on a Nintendo system.
@nessisonett New console will always sell better in the first few months tbh, its the 2-3 year where it tanks a bit then it goes back to sky high at the tail end of the third year
this is completely different because stock has been terrible, im pretty sure the core fanbase that buys a console day 1 is still not satisfied, past gens had stock so you see incredibly first few month sales then drop for some time
ALSO, PS5 and Xbox Series x (And Switch for all that matters) are tapping to more consumers than ever before, so its not surprise its selling better than ever, every console and also, Switch has been there for a long long time, saturation point in some of the "non-nintendo" markets might hit at some point
Why are people so downright stupid? switch can't run hitman 3, so they find a way for you to do so, yet people hate on Cloud Gaming for god knows why... it's giving someone THE CHANCE AND A WAY to play a game otherwise they could not
I guess people here really think everyone owns multiple consoles to play their games
It's the real open world game that's actually open, the freedom it gives you it is really special... the fact that you can actually finish the game right away, makes the journey all the more important.
It's a masterpiece, even if there's room for improvement
that's an interview about paper mario tho, the title is misleading and it never talks about mp4, just making a example about games looking "core" but not really
@Razer Whatever you think the game is better or not, that's a matter of opinion and you can say that, i have no problems with it... but YSVIII is a game that looks like a mid gen PS2 upscalled to 720p.
Yes, in docked mode its locked to 720p, not even 1080p with those graphics lol.
Plain, no textures, barely any kind of definition in the world, etc...
also, not even in the same ball park, also, YSIII looks really bad, might have higher resolution but that game graphics are bland, really bland, so not sure i follow your problem of xenoblade graphics but to say that YSIII is better.

Re: Talking Point: Are Nintendo's Exclusives Enough To Win A Next-Gen Handheld War?
The Deck wont sell more than 10m, and im being incredibly generous. Probably around 5m.
And this is not about being portable or whatever, its about marketing and being available. The deck is awful to buy.

Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis Expansion Pack Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
@GameOtaku you do realize that VC was stupidly expensive? NSO its $20 a year, thats 2 N64 games, or 4 NES games... not even 3 SNES games.
I swear to god that people that praise VC never ever paid for a game

Re: Nintendo Shares Release Schedule For 2021 And Beyond, And It's Looking Pretty Bare
@JustMe Nintendo was never that way (besides a few exceptions), they never told us about a project years in advance.
And after Bayonetta 3 and MP4 (which im super sure will end up fantastic games, no doubt top tier games) i don't think we will see that again.
BOTW2 kinda did that, but had a trailer with in game engine already done, so its not the same.

Re: Feature: XCOM 2's Creative Director On The Challenge Of Bringing The Series To Switch
I doubt 2K would spend too much on marketing on these games, they are straight ports, probably wanting to make as much as profit as they can.
So dropping them without too much fanfare was probably their idea from the start.
