@Stubi It's quite the life. I enjoy it all because I still play games and the other 2 jobs are when I want to work. One, I get to go over season (and bring my games with me) or the other is to als9 help people by getting on an ambulance and try making a difference, so yeah... it's living and I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't ENJOY it๐๐๐
@Mart1ndo my attitude is I've fine. Whether its wrong is subjective. You have no clu as to what I'm talking about. Il paint a picture. I've witnessed grown ass men living with their mom while the mom needs help but they're living off of her check while my crew ends up taking the mom to the hospital. I've seen plenty of slackers at my job to know that some guys that play games don't have a job but have money for weed. I've seen guys continue playing games while they're pregnant girlfriend is in labor. Put the control down, jabroni, and help with the woman you impregnated. Some of the folk on here are sensitive to what I said but they'll get over it. I've seen quite a bit over the years at my job and some are too sensitive to understand where I'm coming from. Most will take it as me insulting them when if they understand what I'm saying, would agree instead of being insulted.
@CrimsonMoonMist I'm not talking about 'sick' people. I obviously was talking about people who don't contribute to society cuz they DON'T wanna work. Stop being so dramatic and taking what I said as a slight against sick people. No one even said that but you. Jesus.
Maybe it's just my age but I can't play on a portable for 3-5 hours anyway. I have a life, 2 kids, a wife and a full time job plus 2 part times. If people can honestly get mad at a product for not having battery life so they can sit on their ass for more than 6+hours, it MAY BE time to look at themselves in the mirror and ask what do they want in life and how is their existence helping others. Just my opinion...
I said something about it in another post that they obviously hadn't optimized it due to it still being 720p. This further shows that it's a cash in attempt. They COULD have optimized it but didn't. Won't be buying this.
Something must really be wrong with some console owners these days. Your console needs a Web browser? So, you don't have a phone sitting right by you? A tablet? Another console? A PC? The Switch is the ONLY system you have? That's horrible. Anyway, I have had all the consoles and have yet to use a Web browser. I have a tablet, a phone, and a PC for that.
Wow. Well, once again throw me in the non-problematic Switch side. Mine STILL hasn't given me ANY issues. Yeah, knock on wood but I play mine for about 3-5 hours docked and will go to bed for about another hour b4 sleepy time. Sucks these people are having these peculiar issues with their Switch.
@Anti-Matter beating PS4 in sales a few weeks in is fine but overall, the PS4 is over 40 million worldwide. If it is a competition (which it shouldn't be considered) , the Switch has a way to go. I love mine but it technically hasn't beat anything ... yet.
I think it can do 8-10 million in year 1. If it does more than that, then I'll be very impressed. To catch up with the Wii U in its first year would be kinda embarrassing, I think.
As much as I love portable gaming, I don't think I've ever played more than a couple hours on my New 3ds or my Vita. So far, 2 hours is the most I've played my Switch but I had to go to sleep for work the next morning. I'm honestly surprised by people who complain about the battery life on any portable device. Why would anyone want to sit and constantly play for hours on end? Is that all you have going in life? Maybe it's just me๐
@BenAV ditto. Did exactly the same thing just like when I get a new phone or tablet. It's common sense. I know Nintendo's magical with their games but their products are not! Use your head people. Get a damn screen protector!
Think about it: a lot of people remember the Wii and never knew about the Wii U. With all the Switch commercials coming on, those same fans/casuals probably think Nintendo is finally coming out with a new system.
I accidenly found the master sword yesterday but I don't have enough Hearts to pull it out of the ground. I only have 9 Hearts. Apparently you need 13 (from what I've read online). I have 3/4's of another stamina bar. I'm still a work in progress and I've seen some more of those shrines. So close to finally having an unbreakable weapon. That's all I'm doing today is finding more shrines for more orbs. I need 16 more orbs, so I'm gonna be quite busy!
@Grandpa_Pixel according to Nintendo, it's a hybrid. So, it's anyone's opinion as to what it is. I'm taking the manufacturer's word of what it is. I play it on my 4k screen as a console and when I leave for work or to pick my son up from school, I play it on the go. As Nintendo stated it could be used for. It's all opinions as to what anyone else calls it.
You know, it's been reported that the Switch is several times more powerful than the Wii U but not up to spec with PS4 or XBOX One. So, it's kinda obvious where the power lies.
@Xaessya I bought 'I Am Setsuna', 'Blaster Master Zero', 'Fast RMX' and of course, Zelda. Already have a backlog on my PS4 Pro, New 3DS, AND PC. I gave my stepdaughter the Xbox ONE cuz she plays it more. Haven't touched the Wii U since Xenoblade. I'm good wi5h not having too many games pop up for Switch right now. LoL!
Shouldn't there be a dropp off for the Switch's 2nd week? I thought just about all their stock was pretty much snapped up. Makes sense their numbers would be lower imo.
Well, I guess since that's Nintendo's weakest market, they figured there'd be some units left over since the Wii U sold half as much initially. Makes since to think that way, I guess. Gotta go by the history of your previous system.
Love mine so far! No left joy con problem when I play on my big screen. And Zelda is VERY addictive and quite a different animal altogether than I'm used to playing. Good work, Nintendo.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE not if you have a MEMORY card which in this case is like have a portable HDD on your PS4 or XBOX One when those 500 gigs ran out. PS4 finally added the ability to use portable hdd's just recently after all this time. Wasn't able to fill them up in a day off of 2 games but there is finite space.
@DWWM textures, anti-aliasing, and all that extra stuff they throw in on these newer games. Nintendo's art design is what keeps their files low which in itself is awesome.
These reports act like people don't know how to but memory cards for Christ's sake! These file sizes are small and if you have ALREADY purchased or own a decent sized memory card, this is a non-issue. Maybe I'm the only one with a 128 gb memory card lying around. A couple 64 and 32 gigs just laying around from old phones and tablets that I can reformat.
I don't see how it would be a "PR nightmare". When websites say stuff like this, the readers whi take that sites word as the gospel will often times believe it to be so. Imo, I honestly was expecting just a port of the origunal game and not the special edition. Just my opinion. I was going by the footage I saw and the somewhat choppiness of it. I may be wrong and if I am, even better. But, I honestly was expecting the original untouched game. Won't be considered a nightmare to me.
@Snader the 26 gigs (25.9) is what's left of the actual memory like the title says. That's what I was talking about. Read it carefully. "Isn't all this on the game card plus the 26 gigs and THEN the SD card?" Meaning, isn't the 13 gigs on the game card, PLUS you have 26 left of memory on the actual system, and THEN you also have the memory on your SD card. Thought that was kinda self explanatory.
I don't get it. How does Zelda take up that much when it comes on a cartridge? When this crap is reported on all the sites, it always mentioned how much the file size is but isn't that ONLY if you download it? Isn't all this on the game card plus the 26 gigs and THEN the SD card? Am I missing something here?
