I will be playing the events. I played last night and I found it surprisingly really challenging which I liked a lot. I don't think Kirby Air Ride was quite as challenging as this. Once I've gotten some more practice in I plan to jump into the online ASAP.
I played the Final Fantasy VII Remake games on my Rog Ally X so I have no need for them here tbh. If you haven't played them before I think they're an easy recommendation if you were big into the original Final Fantasy VII like I was. Just waiting on that all important final Part 3 now.
@Lizuka The way the Reviewer is describing it as irritating and overcomplicated is stupid though. Definitely sounds like someone who barely played it at all. It has a bit of a learning curve so you have to give it a chance.
With Kirby Air Ride on the Gamecube I wasn't sure what to make of it at first but like I said on another Article the more I played the more it clicked with me. It seems the boys at Metro played it for 5 minutes and never played it again.
Glad to hear you liked it. My copy is on the way but in the meantime I'm just going to play Kirby Air Ride on my Gamecube. There is a learning curve because I remember being awful at it at first but the more I played the more it started to click with me.
@Megaz23 Same. Apparently after a quick Google it was a global outage. I've heard of Cloudfare but I had no idea just how many websites actually use it, until now. You don't realise how many websites use Cloudfare until Cloudfare stops.
Oh thank goodness. Everytime I tried to access the site I kept getting a Cloudfare error. It went on for several hours so I was starting to wonder what was going on.
I'm happy with the base game. To me €20 for about 30 minutes worth of content is nuts when you can buy a decent indie game for that Price. Until they put it on Sale I simply refuse to buy it but this being said I hope those that did buy it are enjoying it and got their moneys worth.
No I haven't had an issue using wired connections at all. I only tend to use it when playing Splatoon though, other games like Mario Kart work just fine on Wi-Fi. I use Wi-Fi 6 so that could be a factor though admittedly I don't notice any difference between this and Wi-Fi 5 I used to be on as I never had any issues with that either.
I've had this game on my Wishlist since I first heard about it in the Summer and after seeing that they've made these QOL adjustments I'm going to buy it now.
Kirby Air Ride on my Gamecube Robot Unicorn Attack 2 on my Tablet (yeah I'm actually still glued to this old Mobile game) Sonic Rumble Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Star Crossed World. Finally some more Pokèmon Legends ZA followed by TemTem Swarm and Borderlands 4.
Whenever I see Koroks I'm always reminded of the many hundreds of hours I wasted finding them for their seeds only to get a golden piece of TV BLEEPING NOISE that did absolutely nothing at all 🤣
I actually changed my opinion on ZA but the complaints are completely justified. If you just ignore glaring issues developers won't improve their games.
Some of the comments here are just bizarre especially from the top commenter.
I purchased the full game and the demo automatically downloaded with it so I may as well try it out. Admittedly I would prefer to wait until launch as I like to be surprised but I'm pretty impatient for the 20th to come now.
This is the only Animal Crossing game I didn't bother with. I remember seeing loads of unsold copies of it in Gamestop which was a clear indicator as to how bad it was.
After the disappointment of Silksong I started playing Hades 2 and what a difference. Hades 2 I'm just enjoying it, having fun despite it being difficult where with Silksong it was nonstop frustration for a variety of reasons which I've already mentioned.
I missed out on Bravely Default on the 3DS so naturally I bought it as a launch title for Switch 2 and I'm so glad I did. I missed out on a real gem however my only nitpick with it is that it can be rather grindy at times.
I'm loving these characters. I remember when I played Transformed and saw Nights and was really excited to unlock him but when I learnt he was just a vehicle I was so disappointed. Glad they rectified that here.
I miss this guy things just haven't been the same since he left. Also no I'm not surprised in the slightest, this is Microsoft we're talking about here they have a lot to say with little to no action. Remember Scalebound? yeah I remember.
@liljmoore I suppose so yes but I still refuse to support it. Either put the full game on the card or don't. In this case if it's a game I'm really looking forward to I'll just buy the digital version instead. Game Key Cards are just a waste of money and Resources.
@BongoBongo So you've nothing to add except to quote what I already said and to try and skew my words in a weak attempt to try and make me look bad even though what I said was actually correct?
@DashKappei You're going from one extreme to the next. You're using a straw man argument. I mentioned a difficulty option and nothing else, I didn't once mention a very hard difficulty a very easy whatever and I don't owe them anything either which is why I won't be buying anymore of their games assuming they make another one. There's also hundreds of thousands of people who haven't completed it too.
We could go back and fourth until we're both blue in the face but tbh I'm too tired for this, I have to be up early in the morning. If wanting accessibility options is me being entitled so be it, I'm not going to change my view on this.
@Ralek85 Hollow Knight was just right Silksong is just artificial difficulty with how almost everything inflicts double damage. People say but healing restores 3 masks which is true but it still requires a full gauge. The guy above mentions variables and how it's not that easy but in this case it really is considering the fact Silksong was originally going to be a DLC. If they made it the exact same difficulty as Hollow Knight I think everyone can be happy and I don't understand why people here are so against that.
@Yosti Well I hope you enjoy it either way but it's obvious people here are too stuck up as well as annoying so I'm just going to end this conversation now. I didn't make any demand it was merely a suggestion.
@DashKappei Entitled? excuse me but have you forgotten it's the Players buying their games that keep them in a job. We have a right to criticise if we're not happy with what we payed for. Comments like yours genuinely make me mad.
@Yosti It's rightfully so because they made it overly difficult when they didn't need to. I work sometimes 6 days a week and to be frank I don't have the energy or will to keep going. Had they of added a difficulty select I and many other Players could have enjoyed the game without the constant repeated stress of having to run through segments again whether it's running back to a boss or just bad environmental trap telegraphing inflicting double damage. To me this is not a real challenge it's just pure artificialality in terms of difficulty. IMHO this is a sequel done wrong in every conceivable way and those praising it just refuse to acknowledge or ignore the game's many glaring issues.
@bluemage1989 Well you could have fooled me. People aren't moaning they're criticising it and rightfully so. You're criticising people for criticising then.
