It really grabbed me with the trailer. Then I tried the demo.. Id say "underbaked" is the perfect description. It just wasnt good enough in all aspects
I dont usually care about graphics, but Id really like to play this one in its best form. When I saw the trailer it impressed me with all its prettiness and Im afraid Switch cant deliver
Toree is best for when you are done playing something big and exhausting. Its perfectly digestible fun. Everyone needs a little bit of Toree in their life.
If Switch 2 comes with a double screen Im gonna be piiissed. That would be a perfect way to replay this. Those games started my vania mania and I want to play them the best way possible. One could dream.
After playing all of them couple of times, Ecclesia is probably the best one. Its so different from the other two and in a good way. Im going for that Portrait of Ruin cover though. Thats the first Castlevania I ever played and nothing beats the first love.. in video games.
I just finished the first one and loved it. (paid premium money for that physical..) I really liked the combat system which dictates when you have to parry and when to dodge. Also it made me hate rats less.
Thank you for reminding me. It impressed me the first time I saw it. I have a huge backlog, but I always find time to play metroidvanias-my favorite genre.
Everyones jumping up and down about it, but isnt it kind of disappointing? We knew the announcement would be this year and now its confirmed to be later than sooner.
I will wait and see. I am not into these type of video games, but then I remember playing Lifeless Planet which is a game where you walk around for 5 hours and there is nothing happening, hence the title. I really liked it, though.
@PinderSchloss Sorry for the late response. I want to appreciate this game as much as I can. When I first saw it, it impressed me because of its beatiful graphics, which I dont usually care about. This time though, I am not willing to make the sacrifice. Its really bad when compared to other consoles. Ill wait for the "Switch 2" version which I heard was originally intended.
@sixrings I know they can be cringey sometimes, but Ill choose them over RGT. His whole non nintendo persona/schtick was funny the first three times I guess, but now he does it every video like its the funniest thing ever. Also, I dont need to be reminded how he "keeps it real" all the time. Like I get it, you are unfiltered man. cool. Its not like you havent said that 200 times already. This dude rambles through all his videos. At least those two have structure to their content.
I gotta say.. the demo was very fun. Ive heard the games have been easy so far, but this one definiely isnt. There are a lot o mechanics you need to learn. Somehow, you dont need to worry about offsides though, those are fine lol
@Daggot I agree. Ive tried to play with others at work when nothings happening, but it just doesnt work for me. The only time I had fun was when we were playing Mario party, but thats because we looked like fools and made each other laugh and I was finally able to immerse myself in the game to forget I am at work.^^
I bring my switch to work everyday, but I am never in mood to play. I have to be in my own environment to enjoy games. So even though I mostly play handheld, it doesnt really make sense since I always play it at home. I guess I am just weird..
I am past the point where I buy games like these. I bet they did whatever they could to get this running on switch, but it is too late for me to appreciate it. I try to collect as many games I can physically (for preservation), but this game and many others are dirt cheap on Steam and run better too. If nintendo doesnt release their new system soon I will convert myself to steam and buy steamdeck. I am tired of playing the absolute worst version of games every time. Its been 7 years..
I hate getting spoiled, but there were instances in which I got more excited, when I knew whats going to happen boosting my anticipation. Like having seen a trailer and knowing sh*ts gonna go down based on where I was in the game (recognising the area etc.) But people posting youtube videos revealing information about previously unknown final bosses can choke.
They look nice, but I refuse pay for something thats very likely to get broken. I got four pairs and three of them are faulty. Whenever I boot up my old switch, the slider in the menu drifts all the way to the right. The thing is uncontrollable. So no, I am not buying joy cons ever again
Everything really is embarrassingly similar and I would definitely be against this, but since its Gamefreak we are talking about, I am ok with it. The end justifies the means, I guess. GF exploits the fact that there are many young players, who dont care about the quality of their games, so they had this coming for a long time now.
