Re: Man Dies Following An Incident Involving Stolen Pokémon Cards

Korgon

As with any of these sorts of deals I'll go ahead and hold judgement until more info becomes available. I will just say it's sad to see folks generalizing all cops as either bloodthirsty maniacs or perfect angels as well as all criminals as either the truest scum of the earth or always just misunderstood victims. Life is never so simple folks.

Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Being Eyed Up For A Potential Takeover

Korgon

I know folks like to crap on Ubisoft and to be fair they certainly have made some choices to warrant it like the NFT nonsense but I hope they remain 3rd party and just improve personally. Remember folks wanted Capcom to go belly-up back in the day but look at them now. They are arguably better than they have ever been.

Ubisoft has made great games in the past and love it or hate it pioneered many of the mechanics in open world games that are still used to this day. Let them try to figure things out first before shutting the door on them I say.

Re: Talking Point: Can It Really Be 10 Years Since Fire Emblem: Awakening Saved The Series?

Korgon

I went into Awakening practically blind when I first got my 3DS. Heck I was so ignorant that until I played Awakening I actually thought Marth and Roy were original characters made just for Smash!🤣

I thought from the cover it just looked kind of cool so I bought it and the rest is history. It's my favorite 3DS game by a mile and cemented the series as one I'd continue to play. The others on 3DS didn't quite reach Awakening's highs for me but Three Houses is by far my favorite Switch game as well and I now put the series even above Zelda and Mario in terms of importance to me.

Re: Talking Point: If Breath Of The Wild 2 Launched Alongside New Switch Hardware, Would You Upgrade?

Korgon

I like Zelda but I wouldn't buy a new console to play the new one especially when it would still be available on the current Switch. I originally played BOTW1 on the Wii U and was fine with that and BOTW2 looks pretty similar to the original from a technical perspective so i just wouldn't see the point.

Now if a new Fire Emblem was only available on the new console that might temp me to upgrade. Three Houses honestly put that series at the top as my favorite Nintendo franchise even over Zelda and Mario.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Is Apparently Coming To Nintendo Switch

Korgon

I would be absolutely shocked if it isn't a cloud version but to be fair WB did figure out how to put MK11 on Switch so at the very least the publisher has had enough interest to invest in a proper Switch port in the past. I'll definitely be playing this on the PS5 though.

Re: Random: 22 Years Ago Today The Nintendo 64DD Had More Online Features Than Switch

@TryToBeHopeful
I actually never minded using a controller to send texts myself. Maybe I'm just a fossil with regards to that but I'd even be fine with only allowing messages strictly between friends and no one else. Heck I already do this on PS5. I don't receive messages or friend requests from random people.

Plus I like to try to keep my gaming friends and my real life friends seperate for the most part. Maybe that's just a me thing but I mean even Steam has a messaging system and they have less incentive than anyone considering they are a PC platform where you can have discord or the Xbox app to talk to friends right there on your computer. Nintendo doesn't have that luxury. I know its a 1st world problem but like I said I just go to PC or PS5 for my online needs instead.

@abdias @TryToBeHopeful
I mean it didn't seem to be a problem on the Wii U so I'm not sure why it would be a bigger headache on the Switch. And yes I know there are other ways to message people that's not the point.

I understand Nintendo wants to be kid friendly. That's fine but we also have parental controls for that issue.

The point I'm making is Nintendo's online is so inconvenient to use while also costing money. If it was free I'd give them a bit more of a pass but if they want to charge for online I'm sorry missing basic features like this among other things is pretty much a deal breaker for me.

Is it a big deal? No I just go to other platforms for online features because of it and just don't buy Switch online. But it's a shame because I'd like to play some Nintendo games online if playing with friends wasn't such a pain.

Re: Random: We Need To Talk About That Street Fighter 6 Logo, Capcom

Korgon

I actually kind of like the new logo. Street Fighter 6 is the first Street Fighter coming from some new blood in their fighting game division and it looks like it's graffiti tagged on a Street since it's...you know...called Street Fighter. So the change up makes sense to me.

As for it coming to Switch I wouldn't hold my breath. That trailer looks pretty slick graphics wise. Maybe a cloud version though.

Re: Sonic's Run On "Non-Sega Hardware" Made Yuji Naka Both Sad And Happy

Korgon

Many many hours of my childhood went to this game! It was a bit sad to see Sega drop out of the console market but I do think it's worked out for the best in the end. Sega was by a mile my favorite dev/publisher last gen after they merged with Atlus. Persona 5, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Judgment, and 13 Sentinels are all among my favorites of the generation.

Also for some of Sega's other games in their catalog they were willing to license them out to other devs to take a crack at them like Streets of Rage 4 and Sonic Mania which both also turned out great.

Hopefully they will continue what they are doing and if Lost Judgment was any indication they are still on the right track.

Re: Poll: Do You Have An Issue With Xenoblade Chronicles' Accents?

Korgon

Eh it is what is with JRPGs. Sometimes the VO is good, sometimes it's bad. Whether they are British or Japanese or American English I don't care. As long as I like the game and the characters, I couldn't care less. Plus even if the VO is bad it still makes me smile so for me it's a win win no matter what!

Re: Hideki Kamiya Would Like You To Play The First Two Bayonetta Games Before Trying The Third

Korgon

Bayonetta 2 for sure. Excellent game. First one though is pretty sloppy with the quick time events. Still fun but annoying at certain points. I think starting at 3 would be fine though as far as story concerns go. I've played both and honestly the only thing I could tell you about the story is that Bayonetta is witch...and that's kind of it. The story is not what you want to play Bayonetta for.
