@Dindunuffin it doesn’t make my point any less relevant, straight people and lgbt people shouldn’t be enemies, we can live together, even with our differences.
@CharlieGirl This is the problem I’m talking about. I don’t see a problem in feeling good about yourselves, everyone is different and has different tastes as Kate pointed out earlier. However in recent times everyone is responding with more hate instead of being more understanding of each other, this being true for both camps, LGBT and conservatives. We should focus on what brings us closer and learn that no matter what sexuality we are, if we have a rotten spirit then we deserve all the hate.
There’s enough games for everybody, and I see no problem with that. I am straight and yet I enjoyed games like Undertale in the past for the good writing, not necessarily for the LGBT themes in it, which may have attracted others (and that’s totally fine to me).
The only problem some people may have with the whole LGBT activism from the past few years is that the most vocal activists have become so obnoxious to most people that they irk when they hear about sexuality and pride and so on. I, for one, miss the world of pre-2010s when everybody seemed to get along really well and there were not such levels of vitriol in the air…
There is more to life than sexuality and we can all be friends, even if you are straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual or whatever. It matters the kind of person you are at heart!
@anoyonmus Doom Eternal could fit on a 32 gb cart with both Ancient Gods dlc included. 18 gb is only the base game. I would be fine even with the base game and dlc separately, just don’t make me download over 20 gb on my already full sd card
It will probably be Doom 2016 in its entirety on a cart, with the rest being downloads, like the collection on the other consoles. It's a shame they didn't consider Doom Eternal for a physical release...
I'm glad to see that Arceus can be the BOTW moment for the franchise we have all been waiting for. The graphics still look a bit rough but I don't expect from Game Freak, knowing their difficult understanding of 3D game dev, to achieve the beauty of Zelda with this, it just needs a bit more polish
Ah yes, another Unreal fan rendition for the trashcan...
They really just miss the point of the original art direction and go for those overused and basic rEAlIsTIC graphics. Not to mention that most Unreal games on Switch look or play like ass so those demos are always a kick under the belt. Also Link looks like a kid who just shaved his beard, looks horrifying
I have a feeling that Nintendo will push the Switch family of devices to a 10 to 14-year lifespan, like they did with the original GameBoy (1989-2003). Proof being that they intend on prolonging the usual life cycle of their system with the Switch
@ShadowofTwilight22 that would mean remaking the game altogether and it wouldn’t really resemble the trash we got in 2006. I do support such an idea, however Sonic Team is clearly not competent enough to remake the game into what was intended to be back then, proof being their games from the last 15 years or so
Asking if Sonic 2006 would be remastered in any way is such a blasphemous question and can only give them horrible ideas for the future… Sonic 2006 should stay locked in the wretched time period called “Sonic’s 15th Anniversary” forever, never to be touched again
The game looks great, but, like with 3D-Dot Heroes, the name clearly buried this potential gem. I wonder why devs use names like "Babjqpvq//P.P.PooPoo" for their games and not something more... pronouncable. Anyways, I wish 3D-Dot Heroes would be ported to Switch
@Ulanda Samus Amiibo gives you an extra energy tank and the EMMI Amiibo gives 10 extra missles, which may be quite a deal for completionists and sucks more than the Loftwing Amiibo tbh
Super Mario Sunshine has a ton of potential, but it's so full of bugs and glitches that it's a pain to complete. Stuff like the Pachinko Shine that made me break the left joycon's rail out of frustration have soured my experience enough.
I was glad when Fludd "died", I always found it annoying with its voice and awkward controls, quite literally a d**chebag
@nessisonett San Andreas at least is timeless, this looks like a garbage mobile game. Should have ported X-Plane to Switch as that has more to offer than this
@StefanN it’s alright, Bedrock edition is plaguing every platform from mobile to PC. The previous console editions were much more stable and not full of Marketplace junk by Microsoft. Switch port is better to me than nothing I guess, after years of playing on iOS with missing features from the other platforms
@Yosher Maybe because it's the only handheld version of it that doesn't totally suck, like the mobile ports with touch controls, and has full parity with the other platforms
@Dirty0814 I think you are onto something. One of the reasons I love the Switch is that it managed in just 4 years to compile a lot of classics that I loved into one huge library. I have a bookshelf full of great physical games, third-parties and almost all of the high profile first-party releases from Nintendo. Unless Nintendo unveils a more powerful Switch-like console in the next generation, with full backwards compatibility, I will probably stop at the Switch, as it definetly won my gamer heart unlike any other system I played in my life
@outsider83 I perfectly understand your feelings, maybe I was a bit too direct in my comment earlier and I apologize. For me at least the last Direct was exciting, having a new Warioware and Metroid after so many years have made me feel excited again about Nintendo releases. I’m also happy that after 10 years I got to enjoy Skyward Sword at its fullest potential (not the greatest classic Zelda game ever, but a whole lot better than if I played it on Wii back in the day).
Problem is that the days of seemingly infinite creativity during the PS2 and GameCube era are long gone, as the costs of game dev have risen too much and that makes AAA game companies to commit to predictable releases, sequels and remasters for the new generations (kind of like in the movie industry). I miss those days as many probably do here, and the only way to relieve a bit of those wonderful times is through either remasters or the tributes paid by indies.
As for the AAA releases, I am sick of open-world games, I miss the fleshed-out linear experiences.
Also maybe if you feel frustrated about anything related to gaming nowadays, I think you should analize the possibility of, maybe… growing out of gaming. I’m saying this as I also feel a bit the same, the Switch might be my final gaming investment before moving on
@BloodNinja It's alright, I was impressed by the response. I wasn't having hard feelings or anything )) It's hard not to make jokes about stealing in a heist game
@outsider83 Because unlike you, not everyone wants to play the insert generic M-Rated AAA open-world survival shooter rpg with overly realistic graphics in 8K over and over again
The Game Boy probably was designed to resist almost anything, like a true Cold War-era piece of tech. I can imagine it surviving a nuclear war between America and USSR
While I find the idea of Valve dethroning Nintendo as the king of handhelds hilarious and ridiculous, I appreciate the competition as it always leads towards innovation.
I still find the Deck ugly and it doesn't look as comfy to use as the Switch tho, however I find its internals interesting
@Mr-Fuggles777 Probably Nintendo wants the Zelda momentum going strong, as it's the second most popular franchise so they clearly want as much money as possible (quick mention, I'm not fully supportive of their pricing schemes, only bought SS HD because I missed the opportunity to play it in 2011 and by then I just grew out of the Wii fever, and I'm glad I didn't back then).
Meanwhile Metroid has always been an underdog of Nintendo's IPs and never had the commercial appeal of Mario or Zelda. That's why I think if they were to re-release the Prime trilogy on Switch, they wouldn't pull the same stunt like they afford with Zelda (separate releases), as it would probably hurt the commercial performance of the games. There are way more people who would buy anything Zelda compared to Metroid stuff.
I see Nintendo doing a minimum effort of changing the UI, AI upscaling and some small adjustments to Corruption's motion controls, like they did with Mario Galaxy.
@Mr-Fuggles777 your comment makes absolute no sense. By your logic, Mario 3D All-Stars would have had only Mario 64 and Sunshine, while Super Mario Galaxy would have been released separately at full price…
A full-on-cartridge trilogy release is definitely possible as the games themselves are not huge
Also the leakers should lay off the constipation pills. They really got us with their anal leaks full of rumours during the last few years, like the Switch pr0
I hope Tantalus considers 60fps for Twilight Princess HD if they decide to port it to Switch. Same goes for WindWaker if Nintendo decides to delegate them for such a task.
@ok1 As in, Metroid Dread will not be enhanced in any way on OLED, as it has the same guts as the regular Switch, and the bigger OLED screen will have lower pixel denisty than regular or Lite so you may get some distortions here and there due to 720p res
@3RedTriangles Because we are unfortunate enough to click on the articles, which generates revenue for them. Until we stop reading such articles, there will be plenty of uncles working at Nintendo
