I use my ps4 controller via the 8 bitdo for the Switch, which is just a bizarre thing to even say. Big downside is I can’t play it in handheld mode. So now it’s a Ps-witch. Just a bit ago a good friend of mine bought a Switch and I wasn’t even really excited for him. And I wanted to be; there are some really great games. That should tell you a lot Nintendo...
@Blizzia I agree with most of the points you made. We definitely see eye to eye on many of these things. And now that you explained it I understand it better. But the point still remains I think. You start out by given a statement which is quite negative. Which sets the mood and contradicts in my mind the points you make. Because I would think that the points you agree with are FAR more important than the the ones you disagree with:
Agree: 1. Switch is a primary platform, treat it as such. (Simultaneous release etc.)
2. Invest! It’s unique in the market.
Don’t agree: 1. Audience is younger. I also disagree but does it really matter? They are not saying the base is younger so pls create games for kids, on the contrary, they say INVEST now and invest more because these “kids” will later play your games. So it’s good thing even if the assumption would be technically incorrect.
2. “special features and extra content is not necessary”.You have to admit, this one is a bit weak. Yes. I am more inclined to buy DQ 11 with all the new features because if not it’s inferior to the ps4 version, which is how the mind works, you compare. So I would definitely encourage devs to treat ports like they did with DQ11.
@Blizzia which is what I might have told to you but hey, manners. Again, it’s an honest question so maybe respond honestly. Where does it say they think Switch is a secondary platform IF that’s what you’re trying say.
Glad that my hunch about the mechanics feeling similar to TW 101 are correct, I loved the combat in that game. And indeed the vibes of that “other world” feel very similar to the twilight realm near the end of TP.
This all sounds great; looking like a day one for me.
I hope and pray he’s well. I’ve had my share of laughs watching some of his videos, his energy is out of this world. A very unique guy... thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
@Kalmaro Exactly, that certainly came to mind when I read about this.
I always felt this was going to be the case because even though I very much enjoyed the DLC, it felt constrained. There was definitely this feeling of them holding back for a sequel. I hope they deliver!
The original and GX are the only ones I have ever played, so it’s not fair for me to vote. Your writing does make me want to try X one day though; here is hoping for N64 classic.
All of their games have been of great quality to me. Dig 2 is there with the best games on Switch. Even though a card rpg game would not have been my first choice, the streak of quality they put out is trustworthy. So i’ll definitely look into it.
Most publishers would have probably just cranked out a sh*tty game and try to to “make up” for it with a next better title. Thanks for saving my money Nintendo.
I can only just imagine the immense pressure the devs at Retro are feeling right now. Must be intense, people are expecting so much now. It’s almost getting to BOTW levels.
The sound needs to be patched or else I have no reason to buy at full price, if at all. Graphics I’m okay with suffering a downgrade, even framerate, but since when do we accept such bad sound.
@lillith Thank God we need more women speaking up, because seeying all these men trying to “protect” women and children from the most natural thing is tiresome.
As a men, why fix something that looks good? Give me 1 argument that doesn’t make you sound like a douchebag.
