Re: Feature: Perfect Dark Turns 20 - The Definitive Story Behind The N64 Hit That Outclassed James Bond

LittleSplatling

Before I read the article I want to say; This game was a big part of my childhood. I still have a Nintendo 64 and a copy of the game. I got 3 stars on all the levels—even using Speed Running trick on WAR! That was such hard work that I couldn’t replicate yet on the XBLA version.

My favorite levels were the Skedar levels because of the architecture of their ship and home world. It’s felt so alien. I liked their reptile bodies too. I was a liiiiittle confused and disappointed when I found out the Skedar are actually little squid-snakes (how did they build their tech??) but it made me appreciate the little details of their bodies smoking after you shoot them.

Whoever was the level designer and artist for Skedar Ruins, Attack Ship and the Skedar multiplayer levels; you nailed the look, feel and atmosphere of those designs.

I’m glad Rare made Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. I’m glad a Rare exists/existed. Thank you for bringing me the game that defined my childhood.

Re: Nintendo's Digital Sales Are Nearly Double The Amount Of The Previous Fiscal Year

I’m used to it on PC so I’m glad. Digital means less boxes taking up space in my house. I prefer physical for certain games but digital is nice too. The other day I was looking at digital code cards they have for games. I wouldn’t be surprised if those became the new form of “physical collecting.”

I hope someday Nintendo lets indies and publishers remove DRM if they wish, like how Steam does. If not, and if something goes wrong with my account, I’ll find a way to remove the DRM itself. People have already made a program for that. Not sure how well it works.

Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Want Achievements On Switch?

LittleSplatling

I really want achievements because I’ve done some wacky stuff in games that would make cool achievements. Even iOS’s Game Center has them! (Although idk if they actually work anymore...)

Plus they somewhat push me to finish a game.

Also, I want better playtime tracker. Right down to the minutes.

Re: Microsoft Asked The Studio Behind Cuphead To Bring The Game To Switch

LittleSplatling

I’m glad they’re doing this. I hope it leads to Perfect Dark and Halo coming to Switch.

People mention Stadia, but honestly I think people would want to own their games—even if they buy them digitally—with Stadia being a “secondary” thing. Microsoft and Nintendo should be worried but they needn’t be too worried. Never underestimate the will to own something.

Re: Feature: Digital vs Physical - What Is Your Preference for Nintendo Switch?

LittleSplatling

I’m mixed. I buy wherever it’s cheaper. My collection is 28+ physical, the rest digital (which is a lot as well).

To the people who keep talking about servers going down: buy a big enough SD card and copy those games to your PC. You might have to do this every time you get a new Switch. Physical isn’t too good if you want to be clutter-free as well.

I like physical due to, well, being physical! However, that feeling of holding something only lasts a moment. A lot of people act like they will be holding the game case/cartridge for hours (and when I see my games on my shelf I want to touch them all!).

My kids will be able to play my digital games in the future because I don’t delete games. I don’t sell my physical ones either (which also makes physical a moot point for me).
