No. You did not say “all”. But you also didn’t say some or many or few. The literal construction of your sentence as written indicates that anyone who is a passionate gamer is opposed to game key cards. That is how the sentence reads Implementing proper English grammar. So you can’t be defensive about somebody calling you out on your poor sentence construction. Particular when it relates to an issue that has no data provided to support the supposition. The response you received seems pretty straightforward to me.
I’m just going to presume that all the comments on here about poor performance are from people’s personal experiences playing the game, and that my virtually issue free experience after 25+ hours on base PS5 & PS5 Pro are an anomaly. Surely people here wouldn’t just parrot “what they’ve heard” elsewhere.
The potential addition of cross save and further optimization for SW2 are more than adequate reasons for me to be OK with the delay. Pro at home and SW2 on the road with same saves? Yes please!!!
I’m kind of surprised by how many people here don’t have any idea how Borderlands games progress and evolve. You want every piece of content done before launch? Why? These games are literally supported for years after release. If they released every piece of content all at once and waited to do so until the game was “done”, you would be absolutely overwhelmed with how much content there is. In my opinion, they’re doing you a favor by stretching it out over time. I can’t abide this “the game is incomplete“ nonsense.
Thanks for the heads up and the very detailed explanation. I haven’t tried anything at 120 Hz with my Switch 2 yet, but you are correct in that it doesn’t seem to be a problem with my PS5 Pro. Very interesting. I will definitely be paying attention.
Makes sense. I would like to see any of the previous BL games get Switch 2 version upgrades. The older games could really use it. I am I interested to see what BL 4 looks like on switch 2, as it’s supposedly been tweaked for the switch 2 console. We will see.
To be fair, a lot of those other consoles had very limited supply at launch. Who knows what their sales numbers might’ve been had they had the stock that Nintendo prepared for the Switch 2 launch?
For what reason would they ban me? BTW - I'm not exclusively a Sony gamer - I love my Nintendo stuff too. It just never made sense to me to want external storage (game cartridges) for a mobile console. Too easy too lose or damage when on the go. Plus - people steal *****. My digital library is always accessible to me. And I know - I'm only buying licenses. I'm OK with that. If the "Servers" shut down in 20 years I probably wont be that upset that I can't play 20 YO games on my Switch 5.
What’s this about game key cards? What are they for? Sorry lads - I’ve been exclusively digital since PS3. Got tired of moving boxes and boxes of media of all kinds with each move. No regrets!
Anyone else read this and think the execs are going to run this thing into the ground for higher bonuses? “It's also implementing new HR initiatives, including the introduction of bonus funds directly linked to company performance”
IDC. The QoL implemented in the HD version makes THAT version worth waiting for. Here's hoping WWHD makes it to Switch 2. I will be waiting.
I mean it's nice that the GC version comes with NSO+, and I have that, but I'll be waiting to play WW until the HD version arrives. I hope it actually comes....someday........
I've enjoyed a lot of Ubisoft games over the years. It will make me sad if this actually happens. Oh well. I'll just have to wait every five years for SUCKERPUNCH to make a better Assassin's Creed game.
Right? Nothing like romanticizing a time that was utterly brutal, where humanity was wasted cheaply and where the only people who mattered were white men with lots of guns. Can’t wait for the games depicting the period in American history when European settlers “discovered” the continent and brought “civilization” to the native populations!
What an incredibly tone deaf piece for NL to publish.

Re: Talking Point: How Does Switch 2's Launch Price Compare To Past Nintendo Systems?

According to Digital Foundry, it's more akin to the standard PS4.
In addition, a lot of us live in the PS5 Pro world. That really should be the modern day standard, no?

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo's Thinking About Affordability With Switch 2 Pricing
@robotreptile $299 8 years ago is analogous to $385 today, not $499 - so I think $399 is probably where it lands. Maybe $449.
Also - too many of you thinking these are being bought by parents for kids. Some maybe - definitely not the majority.
