Re: Random: Switch Box Art Download Warning Receives A Makeover

ICISAZEL

@thesilverbrick if the game will not work without the download, then what's the point of that cart. Just a marketing ploy at that point. There is a special place in hell for these people who decided that this was ok.

But then greed is king and its also why we will eventually wreck the planet. #sadtimes

Re: Saints Row: The Third Brings The Full Package To Nintendo Switch Next Year

ICISAZEL

@Silly_G I concur its why I still don't own starlink, la noir, wolfenstein 2 or nba 2k19.
I have crumbled and I have DOOM and NBA2K19.
but I cannot support this practice and the only way I can vote is with my wallet. If Nintendo were more honorable they would not let them do it. If evil EA got their FIFA games to fit others should also. Its not like the RRP is cheap anyway.

The only way this would be exceptable is if it was all super compressed on cart an needed to extract to SD. anything else is 100% anti consumer in my opinion.

I'll bet this is part of why starlink is already on sale.
We shall see I guess.

Another issue is that NBA 2K18 and DOOM started out with the additional data being optional, but later patched them to make it mandatory.

SHADY PRACTICES is all I am saying.

Additionally the price disparity between physical and digital makes this even worse.

I cannot fathom why digital is ever the same price or more than physical. It makes 0 sense to me.

I am sure consumers would be willing to pay more for physical complete on cart games over digital seller holds all the cards business model.

That's My 10 cents

Re: Team Cherry Has Cancelled The Physical Version Of Hollow Knight

ICISAZEL

@Moroboshi876 completely agree,
Hollow night was one of the cases where it was a steal price wise. I would have double dipped to show my support for the teams work in bringing us a great game. Still not finished yet, but ill get there.
Punishingly hard at times, but has some real moments of magic i feel.

Does not hold your hand too much and is so hard in places that it reminds me when games were actually challenging.

We will see i guess.

Re: Nintendo Really Wants You To Use A Wired Connection For Smash Bros. Ultimate

ICISAZEL

I don't think Nintendo understands how the Internet works. Don't see why this would need to be on LAN. the only thing I can think of, is that they are trying to negate issues in households with multiple people streaming media over WiFi.

Also, this may relate to many ISP supplied routers being garbage.
I have always swapped out whatever is provided for an alternative and the difference is usually night and day. Many don't do this however. Wired connections would potentially negate such issues.

We will see when it's out I guess...

Re: Strike Fear Into Your Opponents With 'Shapeshifters' In FIFA 19 For Nintendo Switch

ICISAZEL

@AxeltheBuizel i am coming to the conclusion that big business does not like any manner of risk. In doing so they are ignoring a huge market clamouring for more serious games.

I believe that they could surely reuse the FIFA 19 engine to bring us NBA, NHL, GOLF and MADDEN.

id personally be tempted by 2 -3 if they were decent enough.
Money waiting to be taken its a shame is all i am saying.

Re: Strike Fear Into Your Opponents With 'Shapeshifters' In FIFA 19 For Nintendo Switch

@derty FIFA 19 on switch is definitely better that FIFA18 switch.
well worth the £30 i paid for it £55 is too much i believe however id say £40 is fair.

I will say that i hated ultimate team though, blatant cash grab that i completely plan to side-step. Ill admit that Career mode does not seem as good as master league in pes though. but its best footie game on switch.

FIFA 19 actually does have a fair few game-play tweaks over FIFA 18.
