I feel equally excited and terrified about this game. I can't tell if I'll love it or hate it. Gameplay looks like it'll be amazing, but I worry about how it runs and if it will have an actually decent story. I hear that sword/shield's story got very stale, and that kept me from getting it.

@Octane Can you blame them? It's not a good game, and honestly very forgettable. I forgot it existed until you mentioned it.

@liljmoore A Startrek and Lord of the Rings fan apparently.

Pokemon, Blackwind, and Astroneer are the only ones that interest me. I'll wait for reviews though.

Oh stop! No one understands what the hell is going in this game.

@Giggler Went on sale 3 days ago if you haven't bought it yet.

Disco Elysium is finally on sale, no need for new games when it has yet to be played.

@twztid13 I'm curious how isn't QA a part of the development team? QA is a part of the development, some would argue a huge part. QA's job is literally to make sure the game's quality is up to par, which usually leads directly to the improvment of the product. Development doesn't directly translate to "coder", it is an all encompasing term. Writers, artists, mo cap specialists, voice acting are all a part of the development team.

Beta Testers I'll agree that they aren't, as the trend lately is to push it on the players themselves.

Subnautica literally has me hooked. I can't think of a game that has grabbed my attention this much.

I picked it up as it's loads of fun. Basically matrix the game, there are some loading screen glitches. I heard most can be prevented by either redownloading or saving the game to the console's memory. Save often if you like longer play sessions, just in case.

Character creation infinite load: just select a preset character then change it later.

The alien firefight that leads to ship cutscene: don't use the alien handgun the cutscene only recognizes when you have the rifle.

Escape the ship's infinite load: turn off wifi and spam barrel roll on the last tunnel on the way out.

@Felixfromdownunder Choose one of the preset characters then change it later.

7/10 definitely a few misses this year 3 ports and 2 remakes, really been Metroid and MHR and MHS2 carrying all the weight, though the latter two being only exclusive for a year.

If I'm counting 3rd party games then I can bump it up to 8/10....maybe 9/10 if I squint.

2022, will be a completely different story.

@nessisonett A Nintendo site leaning heavily towards Nintendo!? I, for one, am shocked!

@anoyonmus You can get deluxe edition for $20 right now on the eshop. It performs very well, and no you don't need toys to play.

Wild how a few years ago people wanted Nintendo to do the same thing with Mario. Sonic has been reduced to mostly terrible games since Sega went with the "lease a character" model.

Hold up! There is a cloud version of Odyssey on switch? Dare I ask...is it any good?

Just discovered Subnautica. I'm taking a deep dive (no pun intended) into this amazing looking game.

Cook, Serve, Delicious 2

Haven't played since blue, going to wait for Arceus to get back into it methinks.

Guess Arceus will be worth the wait.

@Jemusu Strange? This isn't the Monster Hunter's first collab. They did it in MH4U as well.

@CheekyZelda dekudeals is your friend.

@Tasuki PC is where Microsoft still wins

@Splodge To be fair these are the same dev studio that presented a very lackluster port of the same trilogy, then proceeded to use that same port and introduce bugs that never previously existed.

@RetroOutcast Truer words were never spoken! Lazy devs/publishers still, very much, exist and this game is the epitome of that.

@KillerBOB I probably would have been fine with the game had it been just the original games ported, but be real, its not. The originals didn't not at all play like this, pop in was there, but nothing like this and nothing that would interrupt game play. The fps was 25 so that's a non issue.

However, they not only managed include new bugs that never previously existed, but the models are a hack job, and there are random crashes. These and other problems are present across all platforms, to the point that simple rerelease, no modifications would have been better than this.

@Bizzyb Don’t get me wrong. It’s unacceptable for a company to put out such shotty work. It runs terribly on every single platform, which goes far beyond the “lazy devs” this is just blatantly having money as their end goal, not putting out a decent remaster for games that redefined the gaming industry.

I don't mind the 25 fps, that's what it was originally running on the PS2 when the games were first released, so I'm not surprised by that. It's the overall poorer quality when compared to those same originals is what gets me. Pop in happened on the PS2 as well, graphical glitches, however did not. Even for a remaster it shouldn't be worse than the originals in this regard.

We’ve played these games 20 years ago on an air fryer and people are complaining. Did did you expect it to look like GTA V? Having played the originals they look way better, still has the same baked in bugs and hand, but just as fun.

For English speakers channel SK OgoD 205 is streaming San Andreas as well.

Being streamed now by Kafé Gaming Flo & Emago, looks ok. 30 fps, shadows look good. It's still early though.

The review embargo is worrisome.

Caleb approved

@NintendoByNature I was just having this same conversation. Even physical only purists can concede that cloud is terrible. If having to download doesn't mean you don't own it, what does cloud mean?

I'm all for physical but at least at the very least I can back up the actual download and store it should servers go dark.

@Arehexes I learned this all too well when I tried playing my disc version of RoN only to find out it either couldn't do it or had to jump through some hoops that still wouldn't guarantee success. But surprise, surprise it's available digitally for me to purchase again, which works on the latest software.

I went to a dream island a few moments again and I was just humbled. It just oozed charm, from the island's layout itself to the owner's home, and this is before the DLC updated items. I can't wait to see what some people are inspired to do.

@Yosher This is what, honestly, has been keeping me from buying any Dragonball game no matter how much they've gone on discount. The sheer volume of non-cosmetic DLC just has me longing for a complete game, not a shell that will someday have content provided customers pay for each trickle.

@Harmonie The writing was on the wall after Sims 2, which was the last Sims game I purchased. I recently checked on the subsequent follow-ups and couldn't believe all the DLC it had. It's hard not to worry that someday every gaming company will follow that model.

@SpaceboyScreams They'll still have access to all the unlocks, just won't be able to visit the archipelago any longer, but your right in year two it doubles and becomes nearly the same.

Yea....no. Seems best to just buy the expansion and just keep my normal NSO family subscription.

@Jeronan I'm really not sure why 2k even bothers with a physical storage at all. Damn game is 40+ gb download. Just go full digital 2k no need to waste the plastic.

If I hadn't gotten an e-mail about getting points I never would have forgotten its existence.

@victordamazio Or worst of all you buy a physical single player game that requires an "online check-in" before ypu can play.

I like when conservatives attack shows and movies because it brings it to everyone's attention. It happened with Married with Children, and all the GTA games. Everyone wanted to see what the fuss was about and ended up liking it. Married with Children went on for 10 years after almost being canceled in the first couple of seasons, and GTA now being an over 20 year franchise that makes billions.

@GannonBanned The FCC would like a word.

@Lordplops Really nothing to spoil here, Nintendo already showed 80-90% of the game off already.

If we're talking games with no replay value, then 15-20 hours is short. However if a game has a high replay value, or a stellar story then it being that short can be excused to a degree, sadly those games are few and far between.

RPGs are one genre that tend to be 40+ hours, as they should be, as its the story that is the main driver of these games.

No love for Disco Elysium makes me sad.

Silksong, Disco Elysium, and Cuphead DLC that's all I want to see, everything else we've already heard about.

Look at that they did to my boy, Guile.

Already preloaded and ready to go soon as it's playable.

@Tandy255 Definitely going to take advantage of the E3 discounts, $50 can get a lot of games atm.
