Honestly, it looks like a renter for me...that is unless my 7yr okd suddenly gets the urge to see this in theaters. Either way, I hope it succeeds.

Have I ever wanted a Sonic duck? No, but I'd take a Sonic screwdriver though.

Can we all agree that loot boxes, Mtx, wouldn't be a problem if these companies hadn't gotten the idea of artificially creating a problem and selling the solution back to us? Pay to win mechanics and the like rely on the developers creating an advantage for one player over the other. Cosmetics used to be unlockable via certain actions/achievements. Now it's to nickel and dime you into submission. The whole logic of "player choice" is a fallacy in the industry now.
So in regards to addiction, how would you know if you were one unless you tried it and didn't realize it until it affected your life? A car accident victim who shattered their leg and had to take pain killers to ease the pain didn't know he was an addict until well after the leg healed and he was still taking them. If he was never in the accident we would have been just fine without the meds. Same with a gamer if the game dev never decided to implement those loot boxes and such. I will agree their is some personal responsibility in getting help. However what should have been a light hearted entertaining hobby has morphed into something more sinister nowadays. It's a lot to take in when you think about it.

Remember the Ebola outbreak that had 1 nurse transferred to NIH in the US and the sensational journalism behind that moment in time? Even less infectious but the media didn't care. I hope everyone affected by this coronavirus makes a speedy recovery

Switch 2 in 2023 it seems to me cuz switch development ain't going anywhere

Wonderful Won oh Won. #3 and W's. There.

For cloud gaming to truly take off, data caps need to be removed by ISPs, server farms need to be established all around the country (at least in US) to minimize input latency, owner ship rights and processes clearly defined and are consumer friendly. Lastly, infrastructure needs to be in place to get this experience to homes in rural places not just the urban/suburban/metropolitan areas. So I give it another 30 years at least for the states.

@GetShulked it makes sense. The game didn't go into full production until late 2017. That means between that time and it's release November 15th they didn't even have 2 years of full development. Anthem, a technically more demanding game on more powerful hardware was rushed at 18 months of dev time and launch was dismal to say the least. You can't launch a game that quickly without taking shortcuts and maybe even pushing your employees hard...

@Pirlo_ze_sniper not at all. It's a good idea to diversify, seeing as how their golden goose is Pokemon and it would be nice to be known for something more than simply Pokemon. However, just like Nintendo had a warchest to weather any financial storms, I'm sure game freak has one now with a chunk of the 2 billion they received from PGO up until now. Heck, Niantic made 60ish million this year. While I didn't see any figures for gamefreak, with that kind of cash more of it could have easily been dedicated to development efforts. I feel they were being a little too fiscally conservative with this effort. Again,I'm enjoying the game, they can develop other IPs, but if you have the financial resources for the biggest media franchise in history, why not try making it the best it can be?

Saw video, agreed with it. I find it hard to believe that with the revenue stream that is Pokemon go, they couldn't afford to hire another 100 devs than their current 200 ish employees. They said 1000 people were involved at one point or another. If half of those were devs the game wouldn't have received the cuts that it did. More if it could have been polished, optimized, etc. Maybe even more Pokemon could have been included. That is not the case with a large majority of that 1k being other groups like marketing, PR, and so on. Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying the game but I can't help but feel they it's a missed opportunity to really make Pokemon franchise shine on a very capable system. They phoned it in after the let's go series.

Market rights being violated? Well you reached out to the right guy. Nobody knows violations like Trump does.

Alright... I'll bite. The kids and I will give it a shot now.

Ahahaha. Sandaconda 🤣🤣🤣

Call him overrated, or whatever. He has to be worth something to be asked to compose for a game or two by a famous company. Music featured in smash Bros. It's all subjective, and the overall consensus by professionals with years, even decades of experience in that field, is that he's good. Good enough to be featured at least.

The game has gotten so much better in terms of features, events, design, gameplay, etc. You can get by entirely without spending any money.

@sleepinglion Makes it more whimsical to me. Adding some more charm. But I see what you mean if they wanted authentic, go with an actual old guy. It's not also guaranteed the old guy will actually sound, well, old.

Cute video. My son is going to love this game.

@farcry007 you seem to have a grudge for Outer worlds. Most publications have high praises for the game. You seem to be part of the minority. I dunno. Maybe everyone's level of expertise in game development sucks so bad that obsidians entry looks good. Whatever the case may be, I'd rather play OW, vs the smoldering dumpster fire remains of what was Fallout 76.

The guy in the video always gave me the creeps. His expression throughout the video screamed serial killer lol. On topic: I do plan on getting it eventually but with holidays and such around the corner, I'm not in any hurry.

So they used Pikachu's original design from the 90s games/TCG and made it gigantamax. Guess that's a nice nod to us Gen 1 folks lol

Fair enough. I have Witcher 3 on PS4, haven't gotten around to it as I'm currently on a MHW Iceborne binge. Still need to buy links awakening and a few other switch games. A backlog is starting to form for me haha. I hope those who get this game on switch, thoroughly enjoy it 😁

The wider joycon has the room to house a sturdier solution to the drifting problem

I would have preferred the title be something like "Going Honkers", or "Ryan Gooseling: webbed avenger"

The new clips that have surfaced seem to confirm my worst fears. Guess Ill just invest in another regular switch instead. Nintendo is still getting my money lol

Borderlands handsome collection would be nice. Don't port 3 until they work out the embarrassing bugs they let slip including the terrible performance on even the higher end consoles.

Guess that means I won't buy it for myself or my kids. Ill stick to getting another pro controller instead. All we need to do is wait until about March when tons of them start failing and the nrgativet press will force Nintendo to do something

Missed opportunity if they don't include the Canadian variation. Fun fact, they're just as annoying as the one you see in the game. They also have a penchant for hissing and violence. That's here in Maryland at least.

I will be using snooze whenever it pops up. Any support skills like acceleratle or psych up will be used if I'm in the lead. The spells will be used to supplement your situation at that moment.

I dont feel slighted if the other consoles are in the same boat.

Honestly I wasnt even aware a sequel was in the making until this review. Must of missed that boat.

Splatoon 2, BotW, and MK8D, murdered all 3 sets. Specifically the left one for single player and the right ones for multiplayer. Hands down the worst flaw of the switch are those joyco. Sticks. They clearly werent tested thoroughly and if they were, I bet some internal documents would say they shipped them anyway with the flaws.

@Chibi_Manny actually no. I've had to take apart my Wii u gamepad a few times to replace the joysticks because after 3 years they finally started wearing out and were filthy. 3 years. The build quality and size of components are night and day between joycons and the Wii u gamepad. I've gone through 3 sets. All it took was 6 months of continuous use before the drifting started. I no longer own my launch day joy cons. I now have to use the pro controller for any serious gaming.

Super exact with 2 seconds to spare. It's all or nothing.😑

Wife and I still play actively.

They can take as much time as needed. This unique type of game demands you work slow and steady. No crunch time, no rushing. This should be the norm but this only applies to stand alone studios and not corporate slaves sadly.

If I could, I would spoof my location to get the region exclusives only. I am not spending money to travel to other countries just to get a pokemon here or there. I understand that they occasionally have events where region specific pokemon change regions for a few days/week a but that all depends on whether or not you happen to be playing at the time and/or paying attention to PGO news. Everything about cheating can burn though 👍

@graysoncharles its possible, Nintendo had HD issues during the Wii U era. Good management would have the foresight to seek assistance/guidance, even Nintendo devs to help in those 3 years. Not saying they didn't but they knew of Nintendos struggles to bring their games into the HD era while developing for the Wii u. It's quite possible the let's go games were their Guinea pigs.

@Yorumi fair enough. I'd be more willing to accept utter incompetence. They were probably sitting on their laurels after the success of their 3DS entries and the money brought in from PGO that now they have serious growing pains and problems developing. Maybe management is stunting developer growth and creativity.

@Yorumi yes, not all of us are are programmers but unless you know their complete workload, personnel setup, business processes, deadlines, and other business related obligations, NONE of us can claim to know their justification is BS. You as a programmer are one small piece of the pie. This generation could very well be the teething stage of their switch development. Maybe future generations will better optimized and potentially expanded upon from a technical standpoint. WE DONT KNOW. So while we appreciate your insight, let's not call them liars, or lazy or whatever. 😎

The market runs on feelings and the next shiny new thing it sees

Pokegenic makes me think Photogenic. New pokemon snap confirmed.

Not surprised he left gearbox after a year, when the CEO is a terrible person. Pretty sure any interactions with the CEO were alarm bells for him

Wish him the best. It would be neat if he ended up at retro just to see how he'll contribute to the company

Birb used charm. It's super effective! 😍

@Agent721 you know it's only been like this for the last 40 years in general. Greed has out right replaced respect for the employee, dignity, common sense. Why do you assume its whining? Isn't it simply bringing it to our attention? Whining is complaining in a petulant way. Petulant being childishly sulky and bad tempered. Are you telling us to simply accept it and move on to next equally terrible employer? You may have done fine in that kind of environment and that's pretty neat dude, but high finance isn't programming.

@Yorumi look, there's always 2 sides to the story. The reason most people dont report this stuff, is the industry can blackball you easily. Nobody wants to hire somebody who essentially "tattles" on you to the gov't or some other authority. They easily see you as a "problem child". Its that fear of never being hired again that scares everyone. You want to work in industry you studied for, that you're passionate about. To have years go down the drain over a complaint you filed is devastating to say the least. So you'd be naive to think the industry doesn't try to steer the culture in that direction. Now that it's set and with social media everywhere, you can find it out these things, but so can corporations and hr managers and recruiters. Sure they could find programming work outside the industry but the whole point you got into programming was to make games. It's your passion your career. To me that's like trying to get into law enforcement and having to settle for mall security. It's not the same so you keep your head down until it's done and complain anonymously because you've signed NDAs which carry over even after you've left.

Just Dance movie? Just No.

If you've ever seen that smash bros documentary. I believe It does mention he is a bit of a party animal. So to me, passing out during a stream does seem to be in the realm of possibility

I love the fantasy/medieval spin to the classic AW formula. Day 1 buy for me now that they've fleshed it out a bit more and shown a larger variety of units.

Edit: yes I know Fire Emblem is essentially the better one but I'm stuck waiting for the switch one and this one will do nicely.

The plot thickens!
