@EmiLou Have you turned the game off and loaded it again? A friend of mine had it 'playing' on sleep mode from yesterday and had the same problem as you. A reboot sorted it out.
@Clyde_Radcliffe I heard on the Gamexplain 2020 year review video that it sold badly to start with but picked up. I don't think we will get any updated sales figures until the end of the financial year.
I got 5 stars. Then made the whole island a forest with a small number of open areas and a village with rivers running through. My star rating has dropped but I like it a lot more.
I've been playing since day , and am finally getting a bit tired of it. They need to add some larger stuff to keep players engaged. Seasonal events will not do that on a day-to-day level.
I played a couple of hours of 2 about a year ago. It didn't grab me like 1. The world/characters/voice acting/character designs are all better in 1 IMO. I'll give it another try next year.
I have been working from homw full timw for the last 3 years. It has pros and cons, but reqlly helps with the work-life balance. Given that the gaming industry is know for crunch working, I hope it allows people more time off.
It's a fun game. I really hope they do something to improve the frame-rate in 2 player. I'v played a few worriers games, and this has the worst dips I've seen.
For everyone saying it is expensive (and it is), there are charities like Special Effect which help disabled people play games. You can donate or get involved with fund raising on their website.

Re: Nintendo To Face Another Class Action Lawsuit For Switch "Joy-Con Drift"
I have 3 with bad drift. As far as I know Nintendo of Europe aren't fixing them for free.
Nintendo should fix them for free and release new hardware without the issue.

Re: Think You've Got What It Takes To Beat Nintendo's Pikmin 3 Quiz?
@stinky_t It's great fun if you have 2 people who play at a similar level. Pikmin 3 is great anyway, but Bingo Battle really gives it longevity.
Re: Think You've Got What It Takes To Beat Nintendo's Pikmin 3 Quiz?
Bingo Battle has taken over our house. We played another 3 hours yesterday. I really hope we get Pikmin 4 or some DLC soon (in my dreams).

Animal Crossing, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Grounded, Among Us.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TG16_IS_BAE Shallow gameplay isn't the same as bad gameplay. Lots of media is shallow but can also be fun.
I personally find there is a nice rhythm to these games. It's the same with Diablo games.You can just switch off and enjoy yourself.
Re: Video: Check Out These Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Ads Now Airing On Japanese TV
@TG16_IS_BAE I think people are interested in the story too, given that BoTW hinted at a lot but didn't give much away.
Re: Nintendo Switch Achieves Its Best October Sales To Date In The US
Good console sales means good 3rd party support. It may also mean Nintendo don't rush put first party games and release better quality products.
