Re: Video: Here Are 10 New Switch Games Coming To Nintendo Switch In May

Faruko

@gatorboi352 Most of my gametime is when i'm on my way to work, on my way back, those times i have nothing to do at work, for example.

When my gf is watching TV i take the switch and play the game, simple as that

cooking? take my switch to the kitchen and play while i have time, same with the bathroom

I just feel the switch is just more akin to what i do on a daily basis than you do, which is prefectly fine. Hell i found a little too much of a hassle nowadays to turn my PC to sit down and play games while i can just take out my switch, press the power button and play for 5-10 minutes

@Shellcore To be honest, it kinda was for me, okey Botw and odyssey did help, but i have so little time overall that the switch is perfect for me, is strong, is portable, can be docked for the little time i have when i'm home. and Some ports just feel weird to play on my PC (or PS4/XB1 for all that matters)

So i take with me and play in the train or in the dead times i have at work, honestly, if it wasn't for the Switch i would not be able to play games that much anymore, life saver... so ports for me are great, even if i already have them on my PC.

Is just that, between girlfriend, work, gym, and life, I just don't really have that much time so being able to pick it up, turn it on and restart my game independently where i am is amazing, sure 3DS could do the same but it was too underpowered nowadays.

Re: Review: Earthlock (Switch eShop)

Faruko

@Yookatonic the original game was quite poor overall, it lacked A LOT, story, writing, side quests, etc... almost no character development and the battle system had some annoying unbalanced stuff

This is supposed to be Earthlock 2.0, with many things added and a more refined and balanced battle system

i played it on PC for a bit, and i could saw that it definitely lacked a lot of polish, so maybe they added that now

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Considers "Nintendo Switch Pro" With NVIDIA Tegra X2 Processor

The lack of AAA games is not about power, is more about games weren't being developed for the system because why would you?

WiiU failure is the reason, while i reckon that i saw the Switch potential right from the reveal (they got that right) it wasn't going to be easy to tell investors and game developers to put their games onthe Switch. WiiU made everyone second thought about support a different system from Nintendo, it was down to Nintendo to show that the Switch is a capable system that can sell (I hardly believe developers actually care about power if they are selling millions) games.

Everyone was afraid of another failure by Nintendo, would you be that supportive of a systme if history told you otherwise? At least i would not have support the Switch right away consindering what happened with the WiiU, is that simple.

Now that the Switch is a super success we have started to see more and more games coming, and we should see even more in the future.

Re: Soapbox: My Nintendo's Updated Rewards Scheme Is Anything But Rewarding

Faruko

Oh look at you, poor little thing, i'm so sad you are losing the privileges only a few of you actually got to use

you know this? I like MyNintendo because it's available everywhere, unlike Club Nintendo which was only on selected places.

Want to know how many cool things (besides games, and the selecition was quite... poor) did i get to pick ? 0, Zero, NADA.

The one who wrote this never thought about anyone but himself, incredibly selfish

Re: Switch Is A "Fantastic Platform" For Indie Developers, Says Curve Digital

Faruko

@SLIGEACH_EIRE To be quite honest, Not many developers knew that much about the Switch

the 1-2 to nature of the consoles + the terrible WiiU were obvious in the "should i put money in this console, chances are it's another flop".

Developing takes time and the reassure from nintendo that this console will sell, i guess that part it's done and we should see more 3rd party games coming.

Re: Hackers Turn The Nintendo Switch Into A Functioning Linux Tablet

Faruko

This is mostly to show off skills by the hacker itself, have you see the piracy scene, is all egos and whatnot, for example, who by passes denuvo update first, etc...

I can see this dude getting extra points when applying to a developer position because of this.

And no, hackers are not a problem for the Switch, piracy will not be a problem for the Switch... if anything this whole "hacking stuff" could entice more of that niche world to get into Switch.

Good publicity IMO

Re: Nintendo Releases Stunning Third Quarter Financial Results, Confirms Switch Sales Have Overtaken Wii U

Faruko

@Nomad How is that impressive? It was pretty much the other game to Zelda and it had the launch boost.

ARMS is a 3D fighter that was pretty shallow in terms of content au launch and Xeno2 is a hardcore JRPG not named Final Fantasy.

If anything i think ARMS is a little underwhelming but i think we will see a new version in 2-3 years, but Xeno2 is something glorious, it sold more than 1, 3D or X in less than a month

Re: Soon You'll Be Able To Give Your Switch A Whopping 512GB Of Extra Storage

Faruko

@Rayquaza2510 Write speed is worthless for Consoles, what are you even talking about.

U3 benefits comes from better writing speed which I DOUBT THE switch would need more than 10mb/s anyway and even if it does, that's plenty enough.

U1 is more than enough as read speed is the important one when it comes to consoles (loading times) and both are pretty much equal (U1 vs U3)

Re: Capcom Explains (Again) Why Monster Hunter World Isn't Coming To Switch

Faruko

At this point they seem to be finding excuses on why they let a 14m gaming console let it pass under their nose

There's nothing like MH on the Switch, it's not even first year so while there are a lot of great games, there's still room before it turns into a collapsed mess that is PS4/XB1, they could have sold a lot of software in Japan considering how popular the switch is

100% sure next MH game will be a Switch exclusive

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Dismisses Threat To Switch From Microsoft's Xbox One X

@SharkAttackU Pretty sure you can build a PC with great capabilities for $599, maybe more or even less if you can find a few deals

And you cant stop counting the extra price in games, $60 a year for XBL (that youll probably pay when you buy the console), so suddenly, $499 becomes $559, and you arent that far from a great 1080p/60 or 4k/30 fps PC, you only need to know where to spend.

Add a few games on steam sale, and gg, you already saved money bar exclusives (which PC has its own, also retrocompatibility without having to wait for someone to allow it, 95% of the cases at least)

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Dismisses Threat To Switch From Microsoft's Xbox One X

Faruko

@Hamguar People just dont understand that even a simple 1060 or RX480/580 can do 4k at 30fps at medium/high. Thats the problem, 4k is NOT THAT HARD to move honestly, mid tier GPUs can do it this generation with the amount of gddr5 they have, only if you want to push much more frames you need to start looking at the $350+ tier.

a $249 GPU right now can net you 1080p/60 with ease, i played Gears of War 4 at 4k/30 on my RX 480 (which i plan to upgrade once Vega comes out), not a single fps drop, locked the frame rate and called it a day.

Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Dismisses Threat To Switch From Microsoft's Xbox One X

I dont think price of the WiiU was a problem to be honest, the Switch in a 3 minute 30 second reveal told the idea behind the console way better than the WiiU did in its entire lifespan.

Its all about marketing, samsung galaxy phones arent the best in every way possible (especially their low/mid range awful phones) yet they still sell A LOT, while OnePlus 3T with its much more interesting price point sells, its succesful, but in a much smaller scale, yet its like $300 cheaper
