@Astral-Grain Don't get too happy because the game on Switch is fantastic. Not sure what in the hell NL played but I'm halfway through and can confirm NONE of these issues have come up. I buy all of the cloud games on Switch and love them all.
@mikegamer Oh God stop already with the "Hate the cloud" movement. Some of us aren't 19 anymore and we're willing to play the game any way we can on our favorite system. I have all of the cloud games on Switch so far and I couldn't be happier.
This review reads like a drama queen. What I mean is, I'm at chapter 3 right now and I've literally experienced NONE of these issues. The graphics are good, the controls are tight and the soundtrack is great. Easily a 7-8 out of 10 on Switch.
All Nintendo is doing by allowing collaborations like this and like Necro Dancer is watering down one of the most beloved gaming franchises of all time.
I've been playing this on Switch for the past few days and while cloud gaming is a little different, this is a very quality experience. I normally pick the "graphics" option rather than "performance" when I log on but I haven't noticed any slowdown or any frame rate issues. Game is slightly challenging and it has awesome graphics and an interesting story. Keep em' coming.
Purchased the pass to stream this game yesterday and I can't believe that I'm playing something so amazing on Switch. In hand-held mode it looks insane! Runs well too. Only downside is being disconnected from the server for inactivity.
I've been supporting Nintendo since the NES and I will support them now with cloud based gaming if it helps. And Control on Switch (streaming or not) has me pretty impressed.
Well he's an idiot because I almost exclusively play my Switch docked and so do all of my buddies who own one. And the pro controller is infinitely more comfortable for my hands than the tiny joy-con buttons that you have to press as a portable.
I would absolutely die if they remastered this game. I didn't get a chance to play it on DC but when it came to GameCube it was one of my favorite RPGs on the console.
@Onkel_Laser The bad performance is being overstated and who really cares when the game is fun as hell? Plus I'm pretty sure it was done purposely, as the game even alludes to at one point.
From the beginning I knew that I would buy this game regardless of score. The original had some abysmal reviews yet it was one of my favorite games on Switch. Can't wait until I can play this tomorrow night.
Pretty easy for me. RE2, REmake, and RE4, in that order. As much as I loved RE2 I did not look the reboot or remake one bit. I wanted the EXACT same RE2 (controls included) with updated graphics but they changed it way too much. And the guy following me throughout the police station was annoying at best.
I liked the original but never could complete it because I got stuck towards the end where Amaterasu had to speed run past these big gear type things but it seemed like one of those situations where you had to keep trying over and over and eventually get lucky but I gave up after a number of tries. I'd like to think it was a game flaw and not my lack of skill.
Been waiting on this for Switch forever but based on the reviews (not the scores, the details regarding performance) I think I'm going to pick it up for PS4. I rarely play my Switch as a portable so it makes little sense to pay double the price for an inferior version.
@aVagabond It's mostly nostalgia based. It was a fine GB game but it's just not as engaging now on Switch as it was back then. And the price is way too high.
@Franz You will absolutely love it. I play a lot of RPGs and this game was easily my favorite from the PS3 generation. It's epic, charming, and full of content.
@Peterjr1 Me too. So many people complain about the investigations but they were nearly my favorite part of the game. Now some of that platforming could use some work.
I'm not worried about multi-player or it being a port of a 5 year old game but if it's a straight sim that will turn me away. Sims are too serious for me, I prefer NFS or Ridge Racer for example.
Wow, am I the only one who loved this game from beginning to end? I completed it in one sitting and while it won't win any GOTY awards, it was good fun for the duration.

@WeLiveInASociety I've been a Nintendo fan since the NES days yet somehow I missed the original SMRPG. I'll definitely be picking this up.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide
I wanted to buy this game but then I read that it's pretty light on story so I held off. Might put it back on my wish list though.

Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@YusseiWarrior3000 I bought the game and it is great. Not sure what NL experienced.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@Rpg-lover Why would I do that? I'd miss out on playing some good games on Switch.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@danemord My internet is ***** yet I'm not having any of these problems. $60 price tag is debatable but the quality of the game is not, it's good.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@blockfight Absolutely! I bought the game on Switch and can confirm that NL is being dramatic and just plain wrong.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@thinkhector I bought the game for Switch and it plays very well. I'm not sure what in the hell NL is talking about.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@Specter_of-the_OLED The review is wrong I'm halfway through the game and it's amazing. No issues whatsoever.

@Zuljaras The review is wrong the game is very good on Switch.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@Balta666 The review is wrong, the game looks and plays well on Switch. And I have all of the cloud switch games.
Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game
@Spagetti69 It's not broken at all it's a great game and I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10 on Switch.

Re: Review: Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise - A Fun Game, In Disguise
@setezerocinco It was created this way on purpose. They even make reference to it during the game, which by the way is absolutely a blast.

Re: Poll: Vote For The Best Resident Evil Games
@ShaiHulud I almost did that list too but I put RE4 ahead of Code Veronica. Tough one for me.

Re: Review: Deadly Premonition Origins - The Marvellously Bizarre Cult Classic Comes To Switch
