Re: Nintendo Labo Wins Two 2019 BAFTA Games Awards

I’ve picked up every Labo so far. It’s a great time with my daughter and family. Always neat and the garage is cool to tinker around with. It’s a phenomenal, charming and impressive piece of kit. A lot and I mean a lot of effort went into making this. Definitely understand it’s not for everyone but I still think it’s an impressive and respectful piece of tech applied through cardboard. Just genius lol.

@Agramonte "If people do not start to expect more, there will be no reason for the publishers to give more."

This is something I can actually agree with you on. Doesn't happen often šŸ˜‹

However publishers cheapening out and doing less and less is an ongoing popular trend and unfortunately our expectations and buying habits I fear will have no effect. If we don't buy it they simply will stop publishing those kind of games. It's sad and infuriating to see how greedy they've become (or always were) and will continue to be.

Re: Did Best Buy Leak Joker's Render For Smash Bros. Ultimate Ahead Of Schedule?

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@Poloscen89 the game has 75+ Fully fleshed out characters to fight with are you serious or just trolling? Last thing the game is, is barren and empty. That’s just the furthest stretch from the truth.

Yep 10 yrs behind and killing it with the fastest selling console in history lol. Clearly it appeals, this ain’t a system to compete in the graphical arms race. If you don’t like the system then it’s not for you, simple. The ~35 million+ or so sales might beg to differ with your line of thinking though.

Re: Rumours Of New Switch Models Cause Nintendo's Share Price To Significantly Rise

MaSSiVeRiCaN

I'd be all over an enhanced "pro" model They're due for an upgrade anyway we're two years into the consoles life and it's surely lacking some necessary features.

@Spoony_Tech why would you be upset? I bought another one recently, the smash version. If they came out with a pro version I’d be mega hype. I would just sell my smash switch with normal joycons from my hacked switch keep the smash ones and sell it for $200 bucks. Offset the cost of the new one by nearly 2/3. If it’s a little more than $300 that’s still a nice savings off the new one.

Re: Review: Fimbul - An Atmospheric But Unforgivably Flaky Norse Adventure

MaSSiVeRiCaN

A review isn't the end all be all, one person's opinion shouldn't be the only deciding factor. I personally read at the very least 5 reviews on the game I'm interested in, see the similarities in what they claim are pros and cons and go from there.

You'll see the differences in the experience that the reviewers had from there and then can make a more comfortable and informed decision. For some the bugs won’t be as egregious or if your a music fan the repetition won’t be a bother, those kinds of things.

Re: Attack On Titan 2: Final Battle Officially Confirmed For Nintendo Switch

@Majora101 I have nothing against the employees at GameStop, far from it I've had good friends over the years that have worked there.

However I can't begin to explain the seething loathing I feel for GameStop as a corporate entity. It's disgusting how they treat they're employees let alone customers. I can't wait till the executives see this business model fail for they're anti consumer practices and greed. They're all around just scum of the earth, again not most employees.

Re: VR Developer Defends Labo VR, Predicts This Might Only Be The Start For Nintendo

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@Agramonte bro even in the Wii U days they had enough cash in reserves to run the company at a loss for something like 80 years. They were losing money but were still sitting on a ton of cash.

Again sounds like Nintendo to take old tech and put they're own spin on it. Look at the classic systems, not the first to do it but the first to do it well. Even the Gameboy when released was pretty archaic tech spec wise, and the tech in the switch while no slouch is also fairly outdated.

Besides this venture is clearly aimed for kids and family and will probably perform well enough to entertain for a while which is all that should be expected of this. This isn't Nintendo's attempt at competing with PSVR, Valve or Occulus so expectations really should be toned down heavily.

Re: VR Developer Defends Labo VR, Predicts This Might Only Be The Start For Nintendo

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@Agramonte I'm not sure if your aware but since it's inception along with Gunpei Yokoi they're all about using older tech in fun and new ways, which is also highly profitable another reason they're sitting on heaploads of cash.

It's probably against company principles at this point and highly doubtful they'll ever be on the bleeding edge of tech lol.

They're whole way of developing is thinking how old tech can be used in fresh and innovative ways, so nintendo will never be another XBOX or PS hardware, spec, competitive contender. They've never pushed the limits of new tech but rather old tech. Just wanted to throw it out there in case that's what your looking for from Ninty cuz then you're going to continue to be disappointed

Re: Here Are The Top 20 Best-Selling Switch Retail Games In Japan (As Of February 2019)

MaSSiVeRiCaN

I know Xenoblade 2 hit the million mark worldwide thank goodness cuz that game is beautiful. Even though I bought the season pass I even got Torna physically just cuz.

So 200K over there seems to be pretty good. Just glad to see it in the top 20 even if it's last place. Hope it keeps selling as one of the best RPG'S for the switch although DQ11 and Persona 5 will be obliterating it in sales lol.

Re: Devil May Cry 5 Will Be Considered For Switch If Dragon's Dogma Sells Enough

MaSSiVeRiCaN

And it's only a "might consider it" lol. I'm going to buy the game because I want it, not because I hope DMC5 comes to switch.

I suggest most people do the same. I wouldn't hold my breath for the game to come, besides the fact that it'll receive a major downgrade in the graphics/performance department I don't like these kind of statements. Plus I'm not waiting that long.

I wouldn't purchase a game I'm not interested in in hopes it's brings another when they're not even the same kind of game, so I don't understand how sales for Dragon's Dogma gauges interest for DMC5.

Re: Guide: The Best Value amiibo For Your Nintendo Switch

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@MoonKnight7 appreciate the feedback, very true I should just be happy for others I guess lol.

@darthstuey Gotcha and yes I could see how that could become addictive for the obsessive collector completionist in all of us.

@bleedinmagic81 my bad if I came across as hostile, I joke when I say it's gross, (although some of the character designs are freaky) just hard for me to grasp why there's so much hype for a relatively dull game imo. I was probably more curious as to what it is that people like about the game and chose to drive feedback through sarcasm and thanks to a few other users i understand a bit more. At the end of the day though I'd beat the franchise with a stick on fire šŸ˜‹ (Now that's hostile) haha

Re: Guide: The Best Value amiibo For Your Nintendo Switch

MaSSiVeRiCaN

Started with a few Smash ones on Wii U.. now I have them all 😭 (except for animal crossing cuz that series is gross.. don't understand the appeal of the game or characters at all, bores me to death whenever I try it out.)

I do mean ALL of them. Every smash series, Kirby series, Fire Emblem
series, Super Mario series, Splatoon series, Odyssey series etc.. just please keep animal crossing away from me.

It's sad that AC is one of the titles people are looking forward to the most this year. You literally do nothing but walk around talk to boring characters, play dull minigames, grab collectibles and decorate stuff.. it's so freaking boring I don't understand why people want the game. Drives me nuts.

Re: Talking Point: Capcom’s Resident Evil Switch Pricing Is Nothing New

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@UnbreakableAlex @graysoncharles The reason to get it on switch is to be able to play it anywhere not just at home. Most games I get on switch. Exclusives and multiplats I can't play on Switch I get on my PS4. Also I think most people that have a switch have a PC or PS4, people that own a switch only are in the minority.

For example I've held off on buying DQ 11 cuz it's coming to switch with a definite version no less however DMC5 obviously I'll be getting on PS4.

Re: Talking Point: Capcom’s Resident Evil Switch Pricing Is Nothing New

MaSSiVeRiCaN

It's going to be the same for me. I love these games, but I'm waiting for a sale both physically and digitally for 4. This price gouging Nintendo Switch games is an outrageous practice and I wish people would just outright not buy them to send a clear message they need to have price parity or just be plain fair with their pricing. Greedy ass mother**** make me sick.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Average Salary, Age And More Of Its Employees In Japan

MaSSiVeRiCaN

@impurekind what iwata and miyamoto make is peanuts compared to ceo's of say Activision and EA at around $30,000,000 USD. I'd say they're wage is much more reasonable and humble.

Activision's new CFO gets a $15 million sign on bonus as they make record earnings in company history yet layoff 800 employees.

I think it's fair to say that Nintendo's top executives and working conditions are both reasonable and fair regardless of how they want to calculate average wage.

Edit: oh and good on you citing sources and educating people about the pay gap and salary misconception. I don't know about Japan as much though so I have no contructive information or discussion to give.

Re: Epic Doesn't Plan To Improve The Frame Rate In The Switch Version Of Fortnite

MaSSiVeRiCaN

Always funny to see all the fortnite haters on here. Game is fun, I don't play much cuz I have a lot of games currently backlogged and running g through them but it's a fun and good game.

Gotta love the crowd that's hating on it just cuz it's popular or just cuz they suck at it. By no means is it a bad game and to be good it takes quite a bit of skill.

These are probably the same people that hate on Apex Legends because it's a Battle Royale game but my goodness did Respawn make a marvel of a game with that. Too bad it's published by EA.
