Link's Awakening on Gameboy, played it in German, didn't understand a thing, and quickly dropped it. Years later got the DX version and to this day it is the only Zelda game that I played from start to finish.
While it is a well made beat-em up, when all is said and done, it is still a beat-em up, and with that comes all the cons of the genre. Fun for one playthrough but not enough variety to come back to it.
This happens all the time and people are still doing it. Make something original and you won't have copyright problems. Do I agree with Nintendo? No. Do they have every right to do this? Yes.
Just because game is 9/10, that does not mean that one negative point affected the score. The score is about overall fell, not the sum of positives and negatives to get an average score.
Releasing free content every now and then is what keeps people talking about the game for a longer period of time, and the game is getting mentioned more often on websites such as this one, which is one way to promote the game and make more sales. And here I am reading complaints from people who will get content for free. Just imagine when they release Daisy, all the youtubers who cried over her not being included will make videos about the game yet again just to say "finally, nintendo listened to us, bla bla bla", giving the game more exposure. Nintendo knows what they are doing with this one.
@CharlieGirl That is exactly what you will be getting. These free updates are just a bonus. The game is complete and playable from start to finish from the get go.
Yeah, but there is no Daisy, and that makes it a bad game, or at least that is what internet is telling me. Seriously though, I am pumped for this one. Loved the one on the Wii.
Sure, it is an improvement, but did it affect the gamepaly?
Of course not. Let's not lose our minds over nitpicks like grass texture and start enjoying games for what they are.
"I bet I'd have some takers here today if I wanted to sell my Animal Crossing island." Yes, because he is Reggie and he can sell this virtual island to someone based on his name. Others wouldn't be so lucky. What exactly would be the point of buying something like that anyway? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of playing a game? What is next? Selling save stats?
As someone who hasn't played Pokemon since Pokemon Yellow, I am getting this for one simple reason - all monsters will be available. I absolutely hate the fact that every Pokemon game comes in two versions and both of those offer incomplete Pokedex.
@DM7Dust If I remember correctly CTR used Wumpa Fruit as currency for their season passes, and it required grinding to unlock bonuses like new characters and costumes. However, those characters would become available later for free. Maybe they will do something similar here, make those characters available at a later date for free. Now, it has been a while since I played CTR so I might be remembering all this wrongly.
The fact Batman on NES is number 2 on the lost speaks volumes about how good this game still holds up. It plays like it was released yesterday. Highly recommend it.
After watching the whole season with that unnecessary cliffhanger, I have no interest in season 2. I love the game, but the show dropped the ball hard. Great animation, no question about that, but the story is so... kid-ish. And that is fine, I guess. The show is clearly made for kids, but considering themes that the game deals with, I was expecting something for younger AND older demographic.
Maybe we should stop crying about this and just play games we already own. It is not like we are lacking good content on every console available, as well as PC.
This will boost sales of Deluxe, as if it isn't selling enough already. I haven't played it yet, still playing the original on Wii U, but damn it, 48 remade tracks... I can't say no to that.
Pass. Doesn't really rock my boat, but I am happy for the fans that are finally getting open-world Pokemon. Only 25 more years and we should get MMORPG Pokemon.
I would love to see some kind of story mode in mario kart, like CTR and Diddy Kong, but I bet you Nintendo is looking at sales figures and thinking " we don't need story mode for this to sell".
@Yorumi Ah, okay, that makes much more sense. Thank you. I do think NFTs will come to video games more and more. There was much fuss when microtransactions were introduced, everyone was against it, and yet a good chunk of people are paying in microtransactions, and they will pay with NFTs as well. Is it baffling anyone would buy NFT? Yes, but the fact is, it is a growing business, so it makes sense for video games to dip their toe in that pond. Do I agree with them introducing NFTs in video games? Hell no.
@Einherjar Wait, so, you will have to buy NFTs to access things like additional content in the game? I thought NFTs are just a code for a digital picture. I don't really get the feeling of missing out if NFT is, in fact, a code for a digital picture... or am I missing something?
@link3710 Form of microtransaction? How? I thought microtransactions are used for buying additional content and passes for games, not to gain a code for a picture.
@GannonBanned I'm sure they have enough men to handle both the development of video games and NFT side of the job. I like the way you used the Mona Lisa example, and it is how I understood what NFT is about, but I still don't see how it affect actual video games.
@Yorumi So NFT is a form of microtransaction?
Thank you all for jumping in and explaining some things to me. However, I might be even more confused when all is said and done. From what I read in the comments, NFT is a form of microtransaction. But, what I understood from the article, they will sell NFT of videos, photos and sounds. I might be tooootally wrong on this, but I haven't seen anywhere that they plan to implement NFT as a way to pay for additional content in video games. Therefore, it doesn't affect the game, nor does that affect the gamers that are, obviously, not willing to pay for NFT, so it is not money out of their pocket.
Basically, I am told NFT is form of microtransaction, but from my of research, it is a token/code to make you "the owner" of a visual medium on the internet (even though anyone can copy it). I doubt the visuals matter that much, it is more about the code, but that is a whole other thing that I don't have enough knowledge to go into.
Can someone explain to me what is the negative impact of video game publishers introducing their NFTs? How does it affect the actual games? All I see is complaining from people that they are all money-grabbers, yet I dont see anyone here interested in making a NFT purchase. So, how does it affect us, gamers, exactly? I am not trying to act as a smart ass here, I am really asking how does this affect both games and gamers? My knowledge of NFTs is minimal, so if someone could give me an explanation, I would greatly appreciate it
Everyone is a critic and nobody wants to get criticized. When did people forget to ignore idiots and concentrate on constructive criticism? Dangerous times ahead.
@wuntyme8 Still better than a previous game. I am still baffled that they only offered 4 boards in the last game. But I am positive there will be one secret board if not two.
