I appreaciate how well made the first game is. The map is awesome, the controls are great, it tells you where the NPCs are and if youve already talked to them.. It feels like Im never wasting time on anything. Needles to say, I look forward to the next one.
Ive already said theyll take a hit now and get people used to this format later. Its gonna save them a lot of money longterm, but I wont be there to be part of it.
Thank you for posting that video. Made my day. I guess I am a terrible person, but there was something so funny about that player trying their hardest and being careful and then getting screwed over anyway.
Good. They put so much content into this game. Ive spent about 100 hours and got through 30 endings. I finished with one which satisfied me enough to stop. Be ready to spend a lot of time in that academy.
They really thought they could ease us into a digital future, and GKC feels like a midway point. All it did was convince me to buy a ps5. The 3ds eshop closure, denial of joycon drift and GKC. There could be a day Ill spend my money elsewhere, Nintendo.
Im trying to complete Hundred Lines. Im waiting for some more story development to put in my goty list. I dont think Ive tackled game this long in like 5 years. Im nowehere near done and Ive played around 85 hours (about 20 percent in I think)
Typical.."We know whats good for you" attitude from nintendo. I would honestly just separate intermissions and race tracks. I dont think doing an intermission and 2+ laps is a good idea, though. There would be no point in doing intermissions then. People would catch up lap 1 and lap 2 would be as if intermission never happened imo.
Switch 1 Oled turned me into a handhald gamer again. I love the vivid screen in combinaion with great battery life. Now that its neither with S2, I really have to think which system Ill pick up to play older games. I still prefer performance with better loading times over a nicer screen. So I guess its gonna be 2D games with oled and the rest with S2.
It sucks they only manufacture 64gb game carts then. Nobodys gonna splurge on carts 8 times bigger than their games.. tell me youre pushing for digital without telling me youre pushing for digital. But Im happy for digital buyers.
Even though I really like the Knock out mode which is carrying this game, Id give it 8/10 (at most). I would glady give up on the open world aspect in exchange for more quality tracks. Like what purpose does it serve if there are only P buttons here and there. I wish they did something like in Sonic Frontiers. The open world would be this huge playground with lots to do. Also, there are quality of life features missing. Like why does it force me into lackluster spectator mode after I am eliminated in the knockout mode. How about I get the option to watch or quit before it starts loading the live feed (of the first racer ONLY). This game feels like what happened with Animal Crossing and Pokémon. Trying something new in exchange for missing features.
This pushed me over the edge, and as a physical collector, I finally jumped ship and got a PS5 (my last Sony home console was PS2). I know I can’t avoid it forever and that PS5 is not a perfect solution, but I’m determined to keep collecting physical games for as long as I can, and I’m steering clear of digital ones or key card whatever cards.
This is why I am ok with buying used games. Im not willing to blow my budget on all these imported and therefore expensive games. Ill wait this one out.
The hardware showcase was very well made, but the leaks kinda killed my excitement a little bit. Thats on me though. Also I wish they showed us something juicier from Mario Kart. MK is supposed to be crazy and fun. Those few seconds felt like MK Tour.
@TheExile285 Thank you. I didnt want to make an effort searching for specifics, after reading what its about. So its basically people posting unrelated comments until nintendo releases the next console, because they dont want to wait anymore.
If this is the gimmick we get this time, Ill take it but I dont think itll be a very comfortable mouse. I just hope we dont go from joycon drift to some mouse related issues lol. Give us quality nintendo
I used to love the first game, but I think Ill wait till physical gets released.. I hope they fix the framerate and add in touch screen controls by then.
Not to sound ungrateful, I am really glad this is happening in the first place, but I do wish they bundled up Croc 1 with the second game. I fear that as a stand-alone game it won’t do well enough to justify Croc 2... and 3 (which was hinted at). I have a soft spot for those games, but I even will admit theyre not perfect. Fingers crossed everything goes well.
Ill check it out.. but Im still bitter about how bad this game turned out to be on Switch. Especially after finding out the majority of sales for the first bloodstained came from Switch..
Looks good! Hopefully it wont get chewed out by the reviews. I remember Croc was a little stiff when it came to jumping. You would jump really high, but not far enough, which you wouldnt expect with speed Croc was running at. But thats why I loved it! It played a little differently than other platformers and it gave its identity.
