Re: People Order Switch Consoles From Amazon, Get Hilariously Random Items Instead

MarzipanD

Woman I work with has been getting amazon parcels for over a year now. Her address different name. It's a small village so she had asked around. No joy. Contacted Amazon they had no record of the delivery. They told her to keep the items a shower curtain and something else. Nothing that breaks the bank. Shes now up to 8-9 parcels everytime Amazon say just keep them. There was a set of kitchen scales run to 80 quid. Surely somebody is asking where their stuff is?

Re: The Original Rocket League DLC Packs Are Being Added To The Base Version For Free

I played this yonks ago when there was a free weekend on xbox. I smashed about 30 hours from the friday night till monday morning. Bought a couple the dlc packs as a way to support the developer as I wasnt going to buy the game and figured they deserved some money.

Year later bought the game. Never managed to get the dlc to sync to my game. Spent a bit of time trouble shooting and sent some emails. No work arounds worked so just gave up.

So be nice to use the dlc cars now....

If I buy it on switch that is.

Re: Asphalt 9: Legends Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch For Free

Played for about 6 hours (8% completion) now hitting a wall where I have to start grinding for coins to upgrade stuff. The coin reward has dropped off as the upgrade cost has went up. Theres plenty to do with challenge modes and online racing. The refuel issue isn't really one doing career as your reputation goes up it refuels all your Cars. Again depending on how you are playing the game gives out tokens. I'm up to about 400(these are the tokens you can buy with real money or by completing daily challenges) tokens, these too can be used to refuel your car. The cars also automatically refuel at the end of the day or rather when you load the game up next day.

Had fun with it, but I'm not likely to play much more.

Re: Reminder: Wireless SNES Controllers For Switch Online Can Now Be Purchased (North America)

MarzipanD

Why are they releasing this? Why isn't there an adaptor for that plastic piece of crap I paid silly money for so I can use that pad?

Nintendo isn't your friend. They like making money. It's not that complicated.

I'll be interested to see if the SNES pad is better than the joy cons and pro controller as I wasnt convinced with either when I had a few games of Mario kart and super tennis. Seemed off with Metroid as well. Just not as responsive as I'd have liked.

Re: Feature: Playtonic On Switch, Yooka-Laylee And Standing On Its Own Two Feet

@Majora101 the camera was awful in Donkey Kong 64. Which was released when? You making that arguement puts you on par with the folk who have written playtonic off after one game. Yooka Laylee had its flaws. However it was a small team. Of course the game wasnt going to fill that Banjo shaped hole in most folks lives. It's a big hole to fill.

I'll be looking at picking this up as it's looking pretty good.

Re: Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Busts Onto Switch Later This Year

MarzipanD

@KayFiOS I wasnt bothered either way when it was announced. The problem. Or rather the main problem is the original was a scripted comedy and the reboot was an ad lib free for all. Some of it works most doesn't. I do also have to say I really don't enjoy Melissa McCarthy.

Ghostbusters was really good. Best bit was it being a ps3 console exclusive outside the US so Microsoft made their US copies region free.
