@mauhlin12 I dont think so. I bought Tomb Raider and it was much better in the "tomb" department. Sadly everything else just felt like they were going in some cinematic approach and it ended up feeling like a poor mans shooter. The stealth elements were very underused as well.
I dunno, the direction of the new Tomb Raider just didn't feel right. But I am biased in the way that I don't like heavily cinematic games either.
@sleepinglion I was afraid of that. Exactly why I held off from buying it. I wished so badly for it to be like the good old quality FF games we had in the past, but the whole idea of splitting everything up into several stories just felt wrong to me.
How can Nintendo live with themselves this day and age? It's obvious that they don't care about their franchises or the fans at all.. I hope they get sued for this crap, although it might be too much to wish for.
@Anti-Matter There's nothing wrong with playing modded games or people playing modded games. It's their own choice. Modding is a beautiful thing that opens up many opportunities, and it actually challenges developers to be better.
@GrailUK People that take money for modding are scum, but everyone else are actually contributing to the videogame scene.
I hate it when companies become petty and childish. That's just what Nintendo gets for being regressive on the market. Their console still worked fantastically though, but not as good as they could have.
Lack of game news, partially non-interesting E3 show and no plans for a proper virtual console with N64/GC emulating. We all know why the stocks are dropping..
It's definitely not for me. They had a big chance with the virtual console and a proper voice system instead of that godawful app, and they just throw the console completely under the bus.. What a shame, Nintendo.. You blew it.
This would be so awesome. Even just a re-release of the old games would be great, since I never got the chance to play them back in the day. Great article!
Should rather blame the nonexistant social infrastructure in the US that would proactively seek out and help mentally ill people before they shoot [removed] up.

@GravyThief Why support something like this??

Re: Video: Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Adds Bowsette
Oh god, even in the mod the terrible durability system shows its ugly face.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy
I lose hope in humanity when I see so many people voting for a netflix-like solution to videogames. Stop yourselves.
Re: New Study Suggests That Playing Violent Video Games Leads To Increased Physical Aggression
Violent games are great, you just have to be a responsible parent and keep them away from autistic/special children.
Re: Soapbox: Why I'm Not Excited About Playing NES Games On The Nintendo Switch
If only Nintendo would just bring out a worthy virtual console successor with N64 and Gamecube games.. Then it would be a no-brainer.
As of now, a NES library just doesn't cut it. At least Square are bringing the ps1 FF's to the switch soonish.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Urges Game Developers To Embrace Subscription-Based Services
Sounds like another videogame crash incoming, just what we need.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Switch Online Service Will Launch In Second Half Of September
I'd much rather have a virtual console with reasonably priced games instead of this hogwash.
Re: Rumour: Foul-Mouthed Platformer Rad Rodgers: World One Listed For Switch
I hope so, game looks fantastic and would fit right in on the Switch
Re: Nintendo Apparently Told Square "Never Come Back" After Losing Final Fantasy VII To Sony
I hate it when companies become petty and childish. That's just what Nintendo gets for being regressive on the market. Their console still worked fantastically though, but not as good as they could have.
Re: Rumour: New Wario Land Trademark Suggests New Instalment Might Be In The Works
Wish they would just cut support for 3DS and focus entirely on the Switch. Nobody plays on that gimped little doublescreen handheld anymore.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Falls Yet Again With A Lack Of Game Announcements Possibly To Blame
Lack of game news, partially non-interesting E3 show and no plans for a proper virtual console with N64/GC emulating. We all know why the stocks are dropping..
Re: Video: Resident Evil 7 Cloud Brings Both Good and Bad to Nintendo Switch
It's a big no-no for me. I would gladly support Capcom and their succesful revival of the RE games - but this is unacceptable.
Re: Soapbox: Let's Give Nintendo Switch Online A Chance Before We Throw It To The Wolves
It's definitely not for me. They had a big chance with the virtual console and a proper voice system instead of that godawful app, and they just throw the console completely under the bus.. What a shame, Nintendo.. You blew it.
Re: We'll Get To Play Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy On Switch Earlier Than Planned
Sweet mother of God.
Re: Video: Here's How Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Might Have Looked On Game Boy Color
Too much music. The BOTW soundtrack is near non-existant.
Re: The Virtual Console Isn't Coming To Switch, Nintendo Confirms
@redd214 God forbid we got the chance to try out the games we never played on the Gamecube or N64.
Re: The Virtual Console Isn't Coming To Switch, Nintendo Confirms
@SimonMKWii Yeah, only way to get the full experience on the Switch now is to hack it.. What were Nintendo thinking???
Re: The Virtual Console Isn't Coming To Switch, Nintendo Confirms
THEY HATE MONEY.
Re: New European My Nintendo Rewards Include Discounts On Zelda And EarthBound
It really hurts to be reminded that Nintendo STILL hasn't released Virtual Console for the Switch.
Re: Jengo Aims To Bring Absurd Point-And-Click Action To Switch
I love point and click adventure games, so yeah. Just not used to play them on consoles..
Re: Iconoclasts Is Coming To The Switch Later This Year
I opted out of the PC version because I knew this would come to Switch. Hope it'll be fun
Re: Hacker Praises Nintendo's Switch Security Efforts, But Says Console Is "Completely Compromised"
That's sad to hear..
Re: New Discounts And Strategy Guides Have Gone Live On My Nintendo Rewards In Europe
I'm in the wrong timeline where Virtual Console was never released on the Switch. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Re: Spyro: Reignited Trilogy Is Finally Officially, But Switch Is Left Out In The Cold
Definitely double dipping, considering the PC version is left out as well.. Switch release will be around November/December.
Re: Spin Your Six Shooters Because Wild Guns Reloaded Is Coming 17th April
I suppose it's priced that way because of added controller support??
Re: Random: Nintendo's SNES-Era Troubleshooting Phone Line Still Works, Troubleshooting Still Given
That's AMAZING!
Re: Penny-Punching Princess Won't Be Getting A Physical Release In The UK After All
Or they could just import the european physical release?
Re: Team Xecutor Confirms Its Upcoming Switch Hacking Device Will Work With All Firmwares
This is only gonna be an option for me when Nintendo finally shuts down development of/for the Switch.
Re: Soapbox: With Microsoft Playing Ball, It’s Finally Time For Banjo-Kazooie To Return To Nintendo
This would be so awesome. Even just a re-release of the old games would be great, since I never got the chance to play them back in the day. Great article!
Re: Detective Pikachu Is Off The Case As It Debuts At Number 23 In The UK Charts
Honestly, quit the 3DS and aim for Switch releases. I sold my 3DS long ago, and probably wouldn't have gotten this release for it even if I had one.
Re: Rumour: New Wario Land Trademark Suggests New Instalment Might Be In The Works
Hell yeah, so the rumors were true!
Re: Reaction: What Did You Think Of The Nindies Spring Showcase 2018?
So happy that Gamemaker and Nintendo finally signed a deal.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Considers "Nintendo Switch Pro" With NVIDIA Tegra 2 Processor
As long as the games scale and won't be released yet again in some "pro" form. That would be abhorrent.
Re: Switch's Stellar First Year Helps Nintendo Bag Itself An AMD Excellence Award
Congrats Nintendo!
Re: Feature: SNES-Style RPG Hazelnut Bastille Coming To Switch With Secret of Mana Composer In Tow
Looks really awesome. Wish it was coming out this year, but then again we have something extra to look forward to next year!!

Re: '90s Classic Another World Makes The Leap To Switch This Spring
It's a fantastic game. Played it plenty on the PC, both original and remaster. I'd recommend it.
Re: Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy Secures Western April Release On Switch
I love Naruto and wanted to play the games for a long time. I just really want japanese voices.. Unless that's in then it's a no-go.
Re: Weirdness: We've Been Sent a Ludicrously Big Box to Open
Spooky portrait!
Re: The Nintendo Switch News Channel Took Almost A Year To Create
I like it. Kinda wish Nintendo would get out the Virtual Console though. That would sell a lot of units.
Re: EA Has "Nothing To Announce" As Far As Burnout Paradise On Switch Is Concerned
I'm not really in the mood to buy anything from EA. It's a disgusting company that shouldn't be supported.
Re: Spanish Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for Switch, Fuels Rumours
@Meaty-cheeky Crash Bandicoot were never Playstation exclusives. Look up the games and you'll see that it has been on Nintendo consoles as well.
Re: Spanish Retailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for Switch, Fuels Rumours
I was pretty bummed about missing out on the Crash remakes, since I never intend to own a PS4. So happy about this, and about time.
Re: The Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 & 2 Are Headed To Switch On 22nd May
God that strip with the "internet connection required" info is abysmal. Completely ruins the box case and any reason for you to buy it physically.
Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection Might Be One Release on Switch
Would love to get a full collection in one game cartridge. Never played many of the mega man games.
Re: Fear Effect: Sedna Will Run, Guns Blazing, Onto Switch On 6th March
I'd love to replay the older games. I remember playing the first one on PS1. Would very much like to do so again on the Switch
