Re: Metroid Dread Studio Hit With Allegations Of Poor Organisation And Management

Gerbwmu

I've worked for fantastic organizations with great leadership, yet multiple people would say otherwise in very harsh terms that management had "no clue" and our culture was horrific. The one would even claim abusive. I can't claim to have their experience so maybe that is true but not from my perspective so articles like this, hopefully will lead MS to grow and adjust their approaches, but can just as easily be a few people that just didn't like their job?

I've also worked for some poor managers and felt that way before. Personal relationships are challenging and not everyone mixes. The hope is always that that this leads to a better run company overall, but that needs specific examples, constructive criticisms, and a willingness for both management and staff to want change.

The truth is usually somewhere in the middle and seems to be the case here

Re: Talking Point: Remember When People Thought Switch Would Fail?

Gerbwmu

My only real gripe was that I dont play handheld so from that stand point I didn't need a hybrid........but taking it on flights is a nice perk. It's had great games, it isn't horribly priced, and it gets used way more than our xbox. We actually had to buy a 2nd and I'm considering a 3rd at this point as I never seem to be able to find it not being used on the rare chance I actually have time to play. The XBox gets used for a 3rd minecraft machine if we are all playing together and for fortnite or roblox......other than that my kids spend way more time on the Switch. I hope Nintendo continues the Switch line next generation

Re: Japanese Charts: Visual Novel 'Tsukihime' Takes Top Spot In Another Strong Week For Switch

Gerbwmu

PS5 will finally pass 1 million in Japan next week. I know it is selling great, despite shortages of parts etc. I wonder how concerned Sony is at the lack of sales in Japan?

Hoping we get some info on upcoming games for the Switch soon. A few games are on my radar upcoming but nothing I'm extremely excited about. Hoping for some announcements that get me excited for the winter and beyond

Re: Super Mario Labyrinth Is The Latest Video Game Board Game

Gerbwmu

My boys love Labyrinth and I was kinda excited for this until I seen it. The tokens should be characters and the spots should be mario related power ups and treasures. This is an ugly cheaper looking version of the original. But this game is fun for the family, just disappointed in what feels like a lack of effort

Re: Switch's Calculator Is Outdone By 'Battle Calculator', A New Competitive Multiplayer Game

Gerbwmu

$15 would have been cheap for a calculator at one time..........having an actual game to it adds some intrigue but not on my Switch and not for $15. Maybe $2 on my phone if it didn't have a free calculator already?

I would really like to know the sales numbers of the original calculator and how this new battle stacks up comparably........I'm thinking 100 sold copies might be a high estimate.

Re: New Nintendo Infographic Shows Off The 30+ Games Announced During This Week's Direct

Gerbwmu

Monster Hunter Rise is interesting to me. I played Monster Hunter 3 on Wii and it was fun but I didn't get into it a lot but I'm willing to give it another go. Mario Golf I will buy around the release. I'm going to try Project Triangle later today and purchased all the Capcom arcade games cause.....well I'm a kid of the 90's and I moved the arcade. Hoping for a Mario like Zelda anniversary collection later in 2021 and maybe a Fire Emblem remake. 3 Houses had been played enough, I need a new one, or a new old one?

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?

Gerbwmu

My expectations are low, I'm always hoping for a good surprise or 2 and a few games to be excited about. Project Triangle was a great surprise and I always enjoy Mario golf games so expectations met! Beyond that it was nice to see a Direct again. It felt normal when little feels normal lately so I thought it was great. Can't wait to play the demo for project triangle and will buy Mario Golf when it releases.

Re: Review: Among Us - The Lockdown Hit Finally Comes To Switch

Gerbwmu

It's fun, especially in groups. We play 6-10 players with the kids and their friends and a video chat open in the middle of the room. Mostly I enjoy listening to them all scream about how they couldn't be the imposter. I enjoy it on switch because of the controller and screen size.....better than my phone anyway and worth the $5

Re: Feature: Best Nintendo 64 Games

Gerbwmu

No Mercy is the height of console wrestling games and I don't understand how someone hasn't replicated it yet for a newer system. Instead the wrestling gets seem to get prettier but worse to play

Re: How Well Do You Know The Koopalings?

Gerbwmu

6 out of 8.........I did guess Lemmy for everyone that had tall hair.........of course he was the last one.

I didn't think I'd do that well.......I've defeated them all enough but never paid much attention.......But my boys are big fans and use them a lot on Smash so maybe their knowledge is rubbing off on me

Re: Frustrated Super Smash Bros. Fans Get #FixUltimateOnline Trending On Social Media

Gerbwmu

I feel like I'm the only one who has little to no issues with Nintendo online? Maybe it is because I don't play online very much and I am more of the IT person for the kids gaming sessions but Nintendo has very few issues but the XBox......it's always down, or slow & struggling, or something. My kids regularly play Smash, Kart, Minecraft, and Fortnite though with very few issues or hiccups. Experiences vary I guess.
