Ooh, if this is the Sands of Time Trilogy, I'm all over it! They're still some of my all time favorite games.
I still wish all the butthurt PoP 'purists' didn't hate on PoP 2008 so much. The story and visuals were and still are amazing. I still need closure to the story of Elika and the Prince. 😔
Unfortunately, I can't accurately answer your question. I gave up waiting on the fixes and updates. I do still own the game, but I've honestly had no desire to go back and find out.
I believe the last time I looked at it, was probably right after the last big patch, and I dont recall it being much of an improvement. Considering we have games like BotW, Witcher 3, etc. on Switch, there is no excuse for what we were given.
I have the superior version on GamePass, but at this point, i just don't even want to be bothered with playing the game. I'm honestly not sure if I'll ever buy a game from Iga and his team again, just out of principle.
If this is Crystal Dynamics first reboot (Legend/Anniversary/Underworld), I will be ecstatic!
If this also includes The two isometric Lara Croft games (LC and the Guardian of Light/LC and the Temple of Osiris), I will be over the freaking moon in excitement!
I've been asking for all 5 of these since the launch of the Switch!
Yeah, game pass is super helpful. I hadn’t even turned my XB1 on in a couple years until I tried GamePass.
Unfortunately I had already purchased most games I was interested in, but it definitely helps me on games I would normally be iffy on or just flat out ignore.
Case in point...Slay the Spire.
I’ve heard nothing but praise for it, but just didn’t want to take a chance on it. Then I tried it on GamePass, fell in love with it, and bought it on Switch as soon as I could.
Now I’ll be getting it on mobile when it releases later this month. Good bye productivity. lol
Yeah, I just got around to finally playing it as it was a casualty of releasing shortly before the current gen systems. It was added to my backlog and I just never got back to it. I still prefer the original LoS, it was such a good game and had an amazing story. I still feel bad for Gabriel. 😞
I’m going to be 39 in September, and I agree, they certainly do. I’ve mostly grown tired of all the swords and sorcery type stuff in my music, it’s passé and overused. Huge fan of Dio, but he was big on it.
A lot of the bands I listen to now have far more meaningful lyrics. I get it’s not easy to write lyrics to music, I’ve tried, and it’s super easy to fall back on the metal tropes.
“I can't stand Hip Hop/Rap if I was being totally honest, call me old but it's just a racket that subjects both eardrums to the worst audio torture imaginable.”
Fixed that for you. 😉
I will say I have outgrown a lot of the cringey Metal. I still have a soft spot for it, but I need to be in the mood. Oh, and a lot of today’s so called metal with the guttural/death vocals, yeah, not a fan. I still need melody and good singing in my metal, as I’m more of an old school metal head.
I didn’t think the Switch even had enough golf related games to write an article about. The only ones I have are Infinite MiniGolf which is great, and Golf Story, which I still have never tried yet.
It definitely looks small. I just use the vehicles, like the white bus in the upper left corner as a reference.
One thing that seems odd, is that there is only one green pipe for an entrance? Seems rather restricting. Hopefully Nintendo has a bunch of warp pipe emergency exits in case of emergencies.
Let’s not forget about the scummy physical copy issue. 2K should have just not even wasted the time or money on those. They’re 90% digital copies anyway.
Good to hear. I would have picked up the Borderlands collection if it released a couple of years ago on Switch. I’ve played it so much I don’t think I ever want to play it again. I got severe burnout on it. Ha
Right now I’m really looking into X-Com 2. I already own it on PS4, but never got far into it. Hopefully all the 2K releases Look and perform well.
It’s still a lousy move 2K pulled with the physical editions though. They should have just made them digital only as the carts are useless.
I’ve gotta say this announcement and trailer have done nothing for me. It’s cool people get a new Paper Mario game, but I’d much rather have a new Mario & Luigi RPG. I’m still bummed AlphaDream closed up shop. 😞
If Nintendo really wants to get my attention, pull this same tactic for a new Switch Mario Golf game. Then I’ll get excited.
Since this is EA we’re talking about, I fully expect this trilogy remaster to have each game sold separately for $60 each and a bundle containing all 3 for the low, low price of $180.
“The oddly-paced story, watered-down RPG elements, and inconsistent platforming indicate that this one maybe could’ve used more time in the oven.”
Well that’s a bit disappointing. I could’ve swore I downloaded a demo on PS4 back around the consoles launch. It seems like I’ve been waiting for this game forever already.
I haven’t actually seen any footage yet, but to be fair, it doesn’t look that great on PS4 either. This is what I would call the definition of a bare bones remaster.
I originally played it on 360, and it’s my favorite racing game ever, I bought it dirt cheap on a PSN sale for PS4 too. The difference isn’t that much. My guess is they just took the PC version and ported that.
