@jamesthemagi Prime in May is the pipedreamiest of pipedreams.

Pretty solid list. Although...guys, what the heck are you doing advertising the absolute mess that is Pillars Of Eternity? It's pretty well known to be broken and that Versus Evil decided to just stop fixing it.

@PessitheMystic Quick poke at Metacritic shows that, of the 36 reviews posted, NL is one of only two publications to score the game below an 80.

Seems to me like whoever reviewed the game here just missed the mark or simply didn't vibe with it.

@KayFiOS Those still do pop up. The Metroid Dread ones were super cool.

@XiaoShao It'll be Super Rare most likely. I remember asking them a while back if they'd start publishing them through Rising Star Games which I believe they also own and their response was that they have a good relationship with Super Rare and want to keep it going.

@Diowine It's very good from mechanical standpoint but the story is painfully cheery and cheesy in a very cringy way.

The dream for Wario Colosseum with anti-grav dies....

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed I brought this up on another site earlier. They did it with the 3DS XL. Denied any new hardware during E3 and then showed it off in a Direct literally two weeks later.

@Munchlax The bright bubblegum writing in FE Engage threw me off so hard but I stuck around cause the gameplay felt good. And then I got to chapter 10 and 11 which felt and played like an old school FE map and was like, "YESSSSSSS they're doing it...."

Only for the bubblegum to come back right after and, after having two strong chapters, it felt so much worse.

Just grabbed Signalis physically. Very excited to finally jump on that one. Just gotta finish Deaths Door first.

@LikelySatan I don't know if DF will do a video. EG took the stance of not providing any coverage for the game over some of the author's social/political views.

The choice to rock an uncapped frame rate is interesting. 40-50 fps is still jittery and distracting due to not syncing with TV refresh rates. Can't help but think that capping at 30 and using that extra bandwidth to bump the resolution in certain areas may have been a better move.

@Ryu_Niiyama One of the best games I played last year! Have fun!

@sixrings File size wouldn't have any direct correlation with frame rate.

@Zverik Presumably by having more than one copy.

@JayJ Gearbox took a downward turn well before Embracer had got their hands on the studio. Hello Aliens: Colonial Marines.

@Serpenterror Let's wait on calling Last Ronin garbage until we've actually seen it.

@Vyacheslav333 Feel free to try the very extensive demo available and see for yourself. It's not perfect but it's a rather nice game.

@Vyacheslav333 540p isn't great but with all the other fun visual effects it's still a nice looking game.

@ElRoberico The game has fairly vast open areas and it's pretty fast paced. I'm beyond amped it's coming but I'm a little concerned about performance as well.

@Nintendencies If you're talking about the enemies in the mine area, the summons are interruptible. As for not hitting hard enough, you really want to take advantage of the boost mechanic because they're vulnerable to elemental damage.

Lot of people in this thread seem really convinced that the game isn't anything good without having played it.

Been playing for an hour and a half. It's lovely.

@SwagaliciousJohnson Arkham Knight is right in that same development/release that Witcher 3 and Dying Light hang out in so hopefully we see a similarly solid conversion.

And then there's me over here thinking, "eh, the controls were perfectly fine."

@Serpenterror Nintendo has nothing to do with the pricing structure of these cloud releases.

@ComfyAko It's different but still manages to carry the same feel, to the point I had to pull up the trailer for the first game to check.

@rjejr No but it does say that they're combining Tears with tabletop RPGs.

Although at this point we're just arguing semantics.

@rjejr I'd imagine that rather than it being, "a fake pretend board game," they're just using the rules from D&D in a Hyrule setting.

@AtlanteanMan Fusing arrows shouldn't require more than a single click. The game saves your most recently used material so you shouldn't be scrolling at all if you're just spamming a single arrow type.

Also you can sort by most used which ought to bring all your elemental stuff right to the front of the list. Similarly you can sort by highest attack power for weapon materials to minimize time in the quick menu for weapon fusing. Thankfully fused weapons are way more durable though so fusing mid combat hasnt been an issue.

@Smug43 Plenty of games back in the '90s were $70 or more. And wages as a whole were a lot lower. It's honestly more shocking that games aren't already $100 a copy.

That was a higher score than I was expecting but it sounds like you guys REALLYYYYYYYY wanted it to be good? Maybe one to pick up on the bigger consoles.

@Cashews Cons don't equal -1 each. Maybe the game would have been a 9 without issues. And, aside from the technical issues, it does seem to be rather well liked as opposed to something bland and churned out so an 8 can still be a reasonable score.

@Cashews Or the technical issues have been noted and called out but didn't ruin the what was otherwise an excellent experience?

@Tyranexx The build up for Ganon in Twilight Princess is really poor. He only shows up at the last second to steal the scene from Zant.

@CptProtonX Just did the same. Props to BestBuy for finally doing something about the scalper issue.

@Tourtus I had to try to explain this to a coworker a couple years back when she saw the warning (for the first time ever apparently) on a TV she was looking at while doing some online shopping at work.

She did not understand and spent the rest of our 8 hour overnight shift freaking out about finding a TV that wouldn't give her mother cancer.

@Tasuki Can I ask what's wrong with Play-Asia? They've always been easy enough to deal with on my end.

@johnedwin I don't know if you understand how averages work?

Flying to Japan tonight. Got this downloaded and ready to go for the plane.

From the opening paragraph I was expecting this to be a bit of a mess. Glad to see it's just a case of weird controls that are already being worked on.

@BlackenedHalo You've played the demo already?

@GreenNinja500 While most of this is accurate, we have seen too many far better looking and running open world games on Switch to blame the hardware for the poor technical performance of Scarlet/Violet.

@Serpenterror Do you have any actual sources for this or are you just saying things?

@DeadWadepool There are games that do voice chat just fine. Fortnite for example you just plug in a headset and you're good to go.

I agree that Nintendo needs a more system wide method of chat but developers can still implement it into their own games and COD for Switch would likely do just that.

@locky-mavo My wife and I are heading to Japan next month for our honeymoon. This is very high on the list. Can I ask how the lines were?

@Vyacheslav333 Mario Odyssey is a janky reconstructed 720p in handheld. And Nier Automata runs at 30fps with frame drops.

Regardless of 600 vs 720, Metroid Prime is one of the best looking games on Switch.

@theModestMouse Gyro is listed as a positive.

This one didn't stick with me as well as the others did, but I'd still give it a big recommend.

@CharlieGirl Yeah that kinda hurt to be reminded of.

@HeadPirate I used your definition. "Not worthy of attention or interest." I'm not angry or upset, I simply asked you how a very well made game isn't generally worthy of interest.
