Everyone has learned that Ubi always has heavy discounts on almost new games that one can just wait a couple of weeks until the games are half price. Nintendo is the best at keeping their games valuable by not discounting to early or too much. Not always good for consumers but it definately helps them keep their games premium.
Hades is a hell of a game (Pun intended). I’ve played a bit on xbox game pass. Anyone played it on Switch who can tell me if it’s any good on switch or if the visuals and fluidness is choppy? I want to buy the game, but may wait for a sale on xbox instead.
We played mario party 2 on the N64 last summer. It sas suprisingly good. Holds up really well. So I’m looking forward to that very much! Excite bike 64 is also a very good game.
It will be fun try without the very dated N64-controls. I played the original a month ago for the first time in like 15 years. It was REALLY hard and hard to control.
But I’m looking forward to trying this both off- and online.
I hope that is a non functioning wheel under its chin. Cause if it works. Well then I don’t know. I just want to know how and what happens if it gets a flat tire 😅
They have a policy of letting the companys they buy stay as independent as possible. But I don’t think they are doing very well at using their franchises. They mostly rerelease old games but don’t use them for much new content. I used to be a shareholder. But I sold many years ago before they started calling themselves Embracer.
I actually don’t know if I played the first metroid first or if it was the second. Neither really hooked med. I actually despise the game boy game since I thought it was soooo hard when I was a kid. Super Metroid was my true entry into the series. I mostly watched my brothers playing though. Later in my teens I finally played it and finished it. Then along came Prime and I was totally blown away. Metroid prime is my number one game of all time. The wait for number four is quite sad. Not unbesrable since we’ve seen nothing from it. Just sad because nothing seems to show. I wish we get it at least next year. Please Retro, make something great!!
I see no problems with this. So long Fifa legacy crap. Maybe 2k can create a football game. Maybe Konami can get their poop together and kill off eFootball.
I feel like SE has become more and more ***** as a publisher. They make bad decisions for the teams and release unfinished products to male money. Same happened with Just Cause 4. This is unfair towards the developers. I feel bad for Nakas reputation. Maybe the game would have sucked anyway. But at least he could have given it and the whole team his all.
So many good games that I haven’t played. This would be great to have. GBA makes me warm inside. Thinking of all the games I played. Boktail always springs to mind and Minish cap. But mario and luigi was also so good. And the castlevania games
urgh. Crash trilogy. I hate that game. soo boring and repetitive and worthless controls. glad to have been a Nintendo kid in my youth so I didn't have to put up with games like that.
I wondr how the turnaround on investment is panning out. 2D games are so much cheaper to make. So to be able to make as much money on this game they have to sell much more. I think that’s probably more interesting for the company, more than just number of sales. No doubt it’s already a million seller worldwide. But a comparison with the investment costs and winnings with the others would’ve been interesting to see.
They need to work on their tree models. Other than that it looks good. Don’t know if I want a new pokemon game so soon after Arceus though. Haven’t finished it yet. But starting to feel a bit bored now. Still have had lots of fun up to like a few hours ago. The game is pretty easy and it never feels very threatening when you battle big pokemon because you have very little to lose if your pokemon all faint. Wish the stakes were higher. Maybe they come up with something for the next game.
@SuperZeldaFun Yeah, I know. For being so good at making money they are surprisingly bad at it sometimes. And sometimes it is definately down to not listening to what the audiences want. It’s definately a big missed opportunity if they don’t release a switch pro. And an even bigger missed opportunity if they don’t release a Mario Kart 9 for Switch. Imagine how many millions of games that would sell and more switches on top of that. An announcement of Mario kart would definately be welcomed by the stock market and make the share go BOOM!
Maybe that’s where he wants it to go? Hadn’t thought of that had you? It’s only the opposite direction if it’s done by mistake. For him the opposite may be the right direction. He knows what he’s doing of course.
Just gotta ask. Do you think the multiplayer is good in this game? I felt like it didn’t really matter how we drove. We always ended up next to eachother when competing two people. And the best way to win was to use boost in the final straight. I felt like the incredible rubberbanding really destroyed the multiplayer for me. And haven’t reallt touched the game since the first week. Does anyone else feel the same. Or have they updated the game somehow to fix this?
I think you were just bad at the game. Not the games fault. If you’re used to puyo puyo like I was before playing this also. It took some time to get used to the premise. I also thaught it was crazy hard. It’s just too fast. I at least cleared the game on normal in story mode. Hard is waaay to though. I agree on that. The computer is too good for me. I die in a couple of seconds usually.
I’ve played dr mario 64 for the first time today. And gotta say. It’s a fun game. But goddamn it’s hard. I haven’t finished a single game yet. I must be doing something wrong or maybe it’s just crazy hard…
@Dragonslacker1 Too bad. I also found it hard to find my way in the beginning. It was always some little block that I had missed to blow up to get through.
I like the EMMI. They bring something new to the series. Thanks to the quick saves it never gets too frustrating to die over and over.
I’m not done with the game yet. I think I’m gonna go play an hour more now.
I like the one with the giant woman with the runny nose from the gamecube game. Her snot falls to the ground while you rund around and try to avoid it. When it misses it destroys the ground so you have less and less chance of avoiding it after a while. Get very hectoc with four players.
@steely_pete Well if they own their own stock and want to sell some of it to get cash it’s bad because they will get less cash. Some companys pay their employees in stock and again they will need to use more stock to pay them.
Other than that. I don’t get it either. It’s not like they need to do an emission right now to get cash. So the investors are not that important right now. In more meager times a good relationship with investors is sometimes key to survival.
The bike parts looks as boring as ever. It just looks so dead and empty. I guess I’ve become a bit spoiled from playing GTA or any other games like it.
I had no idea Miyamoto made that much. I can’t imagine him rich. Like what will he do with the money? Maybe a nice house. But other than that I don’t know what kond of luxurys he would want.
