@huyi I already own all the Arkham games but will buy this as it would be great to have portable, same as I've done with Doom, Dying Light and others. Also some may only have a Switch and might have missed out on these games previously. I get your point but no everyone fits the same mold.
Personally I love this game and glad I brought it on day one. Not sure about the comments saying it's not suited for the current Switch. It runs and plays perfectly well and graphically is a huge improvement over the first one. I still think these are tw of the best games on Switch.
I jump back in every season to get some solo wins and see what's next. However, this season the grind is on for the Optimus Prime skin. Honestly it's nice to break up the hours and hours of Zelda at the mo.
Still don't understand why people are doing this glitching stuff. Just play the same. If you don't have enough Rupees after 10+ hours to buy pretty much anything you're doing something wrong.
I'm still tempted with this but will wait for a sale. From what I've seen its not that bad, just a little simple which I guess in today's standards isn't good enough. Graphically/sounds it's ok too. I reckon it's stil worth a shout, especially if the Devs are going to improve things more.
Glad this has been updated. Honestly don't understand the point of duplicating items, you're just cheating yourself. I'm about 15 hours in and have about 5,000 rupees and have spend about the same. Don't really see the issue.
Mine didn't turn up till the Tuesday and didn't start playing till the Friday night so I'm a long way behind most, but getting there, around 20 hours now with only the Fire Temple done.
Personally can't wait for this. Finished Prime just in time to get into these again. Other than Zelda this is my most anticipated game of the year on Switch.
As a huge LOTR fan I'm very excited for this but just hope they get it right. One of my other most wanted games this year hasn't impressed (Resident Evil 4 Remake) but I'm hoping this will. Fingers crossed.
@Kidfunkadelic83 keep randomly checking the site, they do restock from time to time. I had no issues getting one on release in the UK and almost brought a 2nd a few months back.
Having played the Demo I'll defo pick this up. Bayo 3 is masterpiece and easilly my game of the year for 2022 across all formats and I'll certainly play though it a few more times before 4 is out, but this looks like a bit of fun to expand the story.
It's coming, and man I can't wait. One of my favourite series of all time. I put hundreds of hours into the originals, will likely do the same with this one.
Having played this today handheld and having completed the N64 original hundred's of times I personally can say this is an almost prefect release. The increased frame rate, resolution and draw distance are great. The controls handheld when re-mapped are perfectly fine but playing on the TV with the N64 controller will be my preferred when I'm at home. But being able to play a prefect emulation of the original game on the go is amazing!
YES!!! Well I know what I'm doing this weekend. Can't wait to have this on Switch. I've got 2 copies of the original on N64 and run a playthough of the campaign at least once a year, never get old. Here's praying for Perfect Dark next, as it's arguably better.
Love to see Stray get game of the year. Amazing game, very originally and well thought out. God of War is so overrated it's criminal. Elden Ring has a good chance tho, not my type of game but arguably the most impressive game of 2022.
Recently sold mine to a friend as had an OLED as well. Working fine, original Joy-Con that I cleaned and still work fine, always resolved any stick drift with contact cleaner.
@echoplex yes, the GTA trilogy is great imo. I didn't think it was that bad originally but the updates have improved it further. The bugs left were pretty much all present in the original game so don't take away from the experience. The trilogy is easily the best way to play these now.
I personally love this game and still play regularly. I'm not sure what more content they could have brought. I mean the single player is pretty decent and long enough and there's enough multi modes in my opinion.
I collect G-Shocks and the price for this is pretty standard. Most the watches in this style are between £109 & £130 for Limited Edition ones, the quailty is very high, they're not just cheap plastic. I'm all over this, hope I can get one similar to the Pikachu one from a few years back. It's my Birthday on the 10th so this will be my present to myself
Time to move on, we'll likely never know the full story anyway, and honestly does it really matter other than to those involved?! There's disputes on pay in all sectors of business during projects, this is nothing different, it's just it's been highlighted in public view.
I don't wanna say it's perfect quite yet but it's pretty darn close. The animation is incredible, Jack Black is brilliant as always and Chris Pratt fits the part. Why isn't it out tomorrow 🥲
If this is anywhere near as good as the Detective Pikachu movie it's gonna be incredible. I'm pretty confident this will be amazing, Nintendo will have had so much input and control over this they won't risk it not being 'Nintendo' standard.
No problem for me. I played the original through once alone and twice with my girlfriend taking turns. Honestly one of the best games on Switch, expecting a lot from this one too
I'm 100% going to get some of these. Having big hands I struggle using the joy-con for log sessions handheld. I'm also not fussed with no group, rumble etc. Always turn of rumble and only use gyro with my pro controller.
Wish I could get used to the Motion Controls in Splatoon but honestly find twin stick easier to manage especially when things get crazy. I was always a huge fan of motion controls, I even continued playing Call of Duty on Wii U with the Wii-Mote and Nunchuck (Black OPs 2 & Ghosts), but something just feels off with the Splatoon controls. I'll try them again in 3 but I imagine they're the same.
