As @anoyonmus stated you can still take the standard game with the 70 odd tracks which is what i will do. Im a casual player thats not very good so that will suit me without paying out for another sub. Its a fun game and now ive modden my drum and its super sensitive its great.
Completed both not too long ago. They were ok but i was happy to have finished both by the end. Dragged on a bit for my liking and i wouldnt want to play through them again. The first especially. Storyline is pure batshit crazy.
I would like to see goldeneye as a stand alone title. Would love to play it again but im not subbing to NSO to do. A few nice shaddow drops would be good. Not fired the switch up for quite a few weeks now.
Sure, uncle Phil wants all gamers to be able to play every game on any system via 1 big eco system..... via gamepass. MS's ultimate goal it to get GP subscriptions in to as many houses as possible. eg, other consoles, phones, pc, smart apps on TV's, dongles in the back of your tv etc. I can see it coming to switch and PS at some point too, 1,2,5,10 years down the line once the majority of 3rd party are owned "for the industries protection" of course by MS. Then they can charge what ever they want. I dont necessarily think MS wabt to eradicate the competition but i also dont think they care as much as they say they do. Same goes for all these companies really. They dont care about us, just our £££. They are businesses, not our friends.
Thats a nice read. Far too many people, me definately included take life and material things for granted. Its nice to see someone with a substantial amount of money doing something so generous. I know there are other wealthy people that also do this but id imagine there are many that dont.
@countzero i agree. The world is amazing to explore, as is the audio and i liked the cooking element in it but far too often i found myself having to use poor weapons due to better stuff breaking far too quickly. I also didnt like the trade off for divine beasts and small shrines with similar aesthetics vs the classic elemental/themed big dungeons. Also the bosses absolutely sucked. 2 major things that makes a zelda game a zelda game. Thats only my oppinion tho.
Dont mind me. Im just echoing the previous 103 comments. What a game. Even playing it now the waves feel realistic. The way they roll and the impact they have on the jet ski still blows my mind. How they did it back then is beyond me.
The bowling was super fun and great with a few friends or family members. One of my favorite games tho has to be Tiger Woods with the motion plus. Amazing game with a real sense of control.
@farrgazer there are quite alot of exclusives in game pass but most are from xbox one and 360 era. Id imagine most have gone to Windows bar the odd few. Not kept in the loop with anything xbox for the past 6 years. The series S was an impulse buy after seeing the game pass list. Its pretty bloody extensive.
BREAKING NEWS.
Sakurai is a human.
In all fairness tho, i dont blame him. I ordered a Series S yesterday as a gamepass machine after vowing 7 years ago that i would never own another xbox.
As its the weekend and im finally getting my wife in games (its only taken 11 years) we will continue to play mario party with the the kids and ive got her addicted to Tetris 99 but as we cant play competitively agains each other ive purchased Puyo puyo-Tetris 2 which weve been loving. Apart from that im due to pick up SMTV later today so will give it a blast.
I feel sorry for the people that were looking forward to these 3 classic games and had faith in the goods being delivered and pre ordered. The lack of review code coupled with the embargo and lack of switch gameplay was a major giveaway to me.
"We’re constantly looking for ways to make our online features and those games better"
Really Doug, really? Ive seen no improvement with any of the games that have had issues online. Even Smash, one of the biggest competitive games on the switch still has issues running smoothly.
These people must sit in their offices just thinking were stupid and buy in to everything they say. Well some do i suppose.
One remaster i would pay full price for. Prime was an awsome game and i dont mind paying for great games. Hell, ive payed full price for crap games in the past.
@RupeeClock they were mate. The trilogy was motion control only on wii and wiiU. The only prime games that had standard controller support as 1 and 2 on cube.
As a late adopter of smash. About a month or so ago ive managed to collect half the spirits on offer (not including any from the DLC's) i wonder if i will still have the opportunity to obtain all of them or if there will be certain ones i 100% wont be able to get anymore. I wish i got in to it a few years ago.
@BloodNinja i dont get too in to why people are not liked or why people have beef with said person but i believe its due to very stron opinions on certain subjects etc.
If were getting on the "send Brie to my house" wagon count me in. Hell, id even take one on the chin and let her deliver Balan wonderland to me. Scrap that actually. I will just repeatedly watch the advert.
I do think she would make an awsome Samus tho and i cant believe for one second that it hasnt been mentioned to Nintendo previously.
@YANDMAN Fast is an awsome game but the rubber banding i found to be completely unfair. Running oerfect laps and the opponent that crashed out is suddenly on my tail again. It ruined the expierience for me a bit. Lovet the T.T mode tho trying to beat the devs hot laps.
3ds snake eater is the best imo simply for the QOL feature that you can move whilst crouched. Correct me if im wrong but in every other version of snake eater you either need to be standing or laying down to move but cant whilst crouched on 1 knee like you can in the 3ds version. Was so flippin useful.
Snipperclips is great. Wish it was a little longer tho. Me and my daughter blasted trough it. Bomberman is pretty good fun in table top. Can get a little hectic tho in 4 player but not having the screen split in to 4 helps alot tho.
Ive been so tempted to pick this game back up again but as i had only just started can anyone tell me how far you have to get in order to start using the DLC?
I will continue to sub to the standard service until A, the N64 controllers become readily available and B, the service gets games that are not rinse and repeat of the Wii and Wii U virtual console. Bar a few offered games weve seen them all before. I cant see point A or B being fulfilled anytime soon.
Dunno. I really fancy getting animal crossing again and the DLC but i dont know if i can really be bothered to do it all again after deleting my save. Completed world of light a few nights ago so im feeling a little burned out on smash at the mo. The fam is out for the day so that rules out Mario party superstars. May hit up Guacamelee as i got it for a steal in the sale (thanks Dekudeals) and should really try and get back in to one of my many JRPG's. I just dont knoooooooooow 🤷♂️
@anoyonmus its true tho. Alot of people in the UK obsess over it. One guy at my work wont talk to anyone if if team loses a match the day before hand 😂😂
@MS7000 you beat me too it. There is a rediculous ammount of trash on the eshop in amongst some gems and couple that with the terrible slow UI makes it a ball ache to browse the offers unless you either, have games in your watch list or know exactly what your looking for. I imagine ive missed loads of games on sale that i would have pulled the plug on if i didnt have to wait for the store to buffer every time i scroll down a line or 2.
We dont need Mario Kart 9 at all. What we should have got are regular updates of DLC cups (free or paid) mixing randomised tracks together to make existing cups feel fresh etc. They do it with the crummy mobile version so why not the best selling one? An adventure mode with bosses wouldnt have gone a miss either like in Diddy Kong racing which is still my favorite kart racer to date. I cant believe they didnt even give the option to keep unlocks locked liked in WiiU version. Half the fun is unlocking the next cup or the next character. Dont get me wrong as i love MK but i feel alot more could have been done with this version of the game.
Would have been more impressive if he had been charged with "Conspiracy to Circumvent Technological Measures and to Traffic in Circumention Devices" and "kidnapping princesses"
