@nessisonett that's an interesting take, I enjoyed the gameplay and as I got the limited edition I was able to play through the various versions but by the end felt that it could have done with some paring down as I was just getting burnt out with it. What didn't you like about it?
This game is so unstable for me. Multiple crashes, it’s gotten to the point I don’t want to play it anymore because I don’t know how much I’ll have to keep replaying the same parts over again thanks to another reset.
@-wc- I like your idea of being able to race with customised weapons lists (though I know I'd feel compelled to race with the full list or I wouldn't be doing it "right")
Anyone still looking in the UK- Currys instore are still a good bet. It's like the new advantage of brick and mortar stores is that people don't think to try them anymore!
I was working in a Game store back when Pokemon Red and Green came out. There was such a craze for it I stuck a Pokemon logo (from a leaflet) onto a packaging bag- literally a clear inflated plastic bubble- and put it on the front desk. I could have sold that thing a dozen times in the first hour it was up there!
@Cashews Well met. Plus you did actually prompt me to read a bit further than I had- I didn’t know that the switches he sold had a mandatory monthly fee payable or they would be bricked
@dartmonkey thank you! It’s clear that cashews feels strongly about this but i think they could have made their point without calling the rest of us incapable of critical thought. Plus it’s pretty funny that they said they are one of the few capable of research but made accusations without reading your previous coverage.
@pennylessz I wondered about whether you were a native English speaker because your profile pic reminded me of anti-matter (it just reminded me that NL has contributors from all over), you said Switch_pro had said you were wrong (missing the word “maybe” that they used), and you used the word “thusly” which struck me as a potential sign as it is a less popular word but grammatically correct (something that could be a tell for someone who’d been taught English later in life). I genuinely wish you a good day and I regret entering into this conversation. Be well.
@pennylessz you stated your opinion as fact “the movie is pretty bad”. Regardless, @switch_pro treated your statement as opinion and said “maybe” you’re wrong. I know NL is an international site so my apologies if you aren’t a native English speaker but your take was way off base both times here.
It’s just adding a little bit of text to, what I expect, is already a ridiculously long list of names at the end of the movie so I don’t know why they didn’t do it.
On the other hand what is with the need to get credited on games and movies?
The reviews on metacritic all seem to say largely the same thing but with a wide spectrum of scores (great example why the text is more important than the number). Sounds like a fun 92 minutes that hits the right notes but doesn’t do anything to make itself overly memorable. Sounds good to me.
The catchphrase started out strong and I think that’s what caught people’s attention. It’s a shame that Alex couldn’t resist flanderising it so badly, almost to the point of self parody. Over the last couple of years I’ve appreciated that he’s obviously reconsidered and deconstructed it, taking it back to a raw almost gritty delivery that leaves no doubt as to how lovely the peeeeeople he is saying hhhhhello to truly are- us, the fans.
I downloaded Keshi Corner’s 3D scan for a Yoshi, sliced it in cura (printing software) and my printer’s just heating up now. cura reckons it’ll take a couple of hours- if it comes out nicely I’ll add a photo
