@NotTelevision I love my switch but I don’t think anyone that owns an XBOX One regrets the purchase as it’s currently the best way to experience multiplat games. Nothing to feel sorry for. Witcher 3 amongst many others are examples of the finest way to play those games on console period. Well in terms of performance and graphics.
I downloaded the demo but haven't had a chance to play it yet, But my Lord if this is anything to go by, we’re talking about sub native resolution, below 30 FPS performance and input lag!? Man that’s awful considering post long-term support plans Ubi has for the game.
I was genuinely excited for this and I understand if cuts need to be made but looking at those stills this isn’t cut back it’s a major overhaul and removal of entire game assets, and that fog!? I mean Jesus it’s God awful.
@Kriven damn that is so well put it's shocking. You really need to put this in a Reddit or something for discussion. It's gold man.
@Superzone13 @NImH @Donutman It's funny cuz I just tend to enjoy games for what they are. Without labels and too much expectations whatever direction Nintendo decides to take a franchise I don't sit, moan, judge and label anything with expectations. I play it and see if it's fun and enjoyable first and foremost. Then complain if it's not.
It's why I was able to enjoy Other M as well as Star Fox Zero. Other M was one of my fave games for the Wii and I couldn't put it down from beginning to end. Ran through it and loved every second of it. I was also blown away by how unique and cool it was to be able to have a cockpit view and and third person view in SF Zero, it looked stunning and was a lot of fun especially in co-op. I think most people just ride the train of expectations and don't give new things a chance because it's not like what came before.
However the magic of Nintendo comes from embracing change and evolution and the fun that comes from that. I feel if people were more open minded, when Nintendo decides to change aspects of gameplay or narrative within franchises, things would go much better. However when people just expect more of the same with new graphics, we're not getting anything new and that's only going to please a certain mindset rather than get people to play for a fun new experience.
Really excited when this game was announced and released but at $40 I'm not pulling the trigger. Anything $30 or below I'm ok with and really can't wait to play it.
@Tirza Most comments on here are positive and worthy of a purchase for those that didn't buy it on Wii U. I already have it, but if it re-releases on Switch, if it has enough new content.
If you didn't like the game then it's not for you and I hear that, but don't think your opinion of it is mandatory for everyone else.
Bought the physical edition but my backlog and the news of a this potential update has held me from playing. So glad it's coming soon so I can sink my teeth into this.
One of my top 10 games on Switch. Bought it digital, will get it physical just cuz it's so damn good. The path of Pain getting completed was one of my all time fave moments that year lol!!
@pitchblack @Snakesglowcaps At 18Gigs they'd need to shell out quite the expense for the 32GB cartridge.
Unless they optimize and compress the game without sacrificing anymore visual/audio fidelity I doubt it'll come physical although I myself would be interested. Already bought digital though so not missing out.
@Hobbesyall @WebHead not sure if you guys know that Ninty is still in Quarter 4 (Jan - Mar) so Quarter 1 2019 starts in April. So they haven't started or done anything yet.
I know people are always tripping about the review scores here but imo the review definitely doesn't read like a 5 or 6.
I like to use opencritic as an aggregate and have read 5 other reviews besides this one and countless summaries as there are 76 reviews on opencritic in total.
The top critic average is a 78 where 65% of critics recommend the game. Also many user reviews speak very highly of the game. So it seems like a legit score and a downright good game, where the technical issues don't deter from the enjoyment of the game.
Regardless I really enjoyed Layers of Fear so it's a must buy for me.
Reasonable price especially if they deliver the robust performance they claim. If so this will be a great addition to the library and another game to be proud of and showcase.
I bought One Strike and Robonauts and one strike is definitely my favorite of the bunch. It's great for co-op laughs and someone always yells out or gets that "one more match" feeling (usually whomever just lost lol)
For a buck this is a solid runner and it's been on my wishlist. The art style looks crazy and seems funny in short bursts.
I mean it's a reimagining if yellow with a spin-off format for battles. I would think they should have tempered they're expectations. I'm glad it's hot even 10 million+ copies sold.
Well this makes no difference, I'd say the game is all the better for it, English dubs are disappointing 95% of the time anyway and the original voice acting is far superior regardless. Most VO work in English is quite cringe worthy really.
Yes I most definitely will be enjoying this since I missed it the first time around and the last tales games I played was Tales of Symphonia 1/2 back on GC & Wii.
Honestly they should have though Of their loyal customer fan base and provided some type of discount or bonus for those of us who already bought it on Wii U. I’m not double dipping for full price on this. Not for double gold points and certainly not for $60. However for those of you that never played it, good for you. The game is great espececially the Luigi levels.
Too bad not like I didn’t know it wasn’t going to happen, but she’s definitely one of my favorite things to come out of 2018. So much fun was had with this character. Hope the fan art and fanfic community keeps her around for years to come.
@sbandy I don't like his extreme views either and had him on my ignore list as well, but yea, never really threw insults at the guy.
U sound really upset i just ask that you chill a bit, I'm not sure if your aware but I believe it's been mentioned in the past he's somewhat autistic, or diagnosed with some kind of handicap, forgive me if I'm wrong by the way. I've been here a long time and remember reading that here somewhere which explains a lot of his comments and makes it easier to digest.
Regardless though it did sound like u were overreacting, u sure you didn't have a bad day?
Good I mean we're talking games during the PS 2/3 era. Who cares I want to play something new. Those games were played to death back then and regardless don't want to waste resources on games most people won't play again.
@Ralizah Comixology isn't subscription based though. I've bought a few comics on there and they're all sold individually. I like the subscription service model. I'll prob read a lot more.
Can't hurt to try it out especially at that price. If it's not up to par I'll cancel the subscription. Easy as that. Wasn't there another comic subscription service coming as well?
@Ralizah I have Comixology on my phone did they say they're going to add support for the Switch?
Desert Child looks so rad and although it doesn't have a full review I'm very glad it got the round up treatment. Adding it to the collection as I type. Was sold on it the moment it gave me the Cowboy Bebop feels off the trailer.
Regardless of any major games which come out at the same time as smaller titles, I appreciate that you guys do this. Tidbits of info sometimes is all I need to make that decision to purchase something that I may be on the fence about. Love the “Thumbs Up, Maybe, Thumbs Down”, along with a couple of paragraphs. Keep it up I hope to see more of these for games that are worthy and should get some much needed attention.
