I can't see more powerwash as a bad thing. Not with so many filthy game world's to clean up. Surely, Joel and the rest of the grimy bunch in TLOU world needs a wash next?
These is fantastic. Great way to unwind and detach without having to anything resembling going outside or exercising. Yeah, the aiming is a little stiff at times but, it's not like there are high stakes situations that need fast reflexes or precision shooting here. The filthy pond just sits there and takes it. The filthy, filthy pond.
I know it isn’t the most popular opinion but BOTW just did not do it for me. At all. The degrading weapons was a big part of it. I absolutely hated it, more passionately than I expected. I did not nearly finish the game and had little desire to return to it. This is a major personal disappointment as I usually love and actually finish Zelda games.
No Alien vs Predator for Jaguar? Or Defender, Doom or Wolfenstein? No California Games for Lynx? Or Blue Lightning, Rygar, Chips Challenge or S.T.U.N. Runner? Let alone Gauntlet, Electroscope or Gates of Zendocon.
Yeah, yeah I get it...licenses. But that Lynx list is mostly first party and probably more playable now than the early Atari 800 and 2600 games.
This is a tough one... The SNES was my entry drug into the world of Nintendo, largely thanks to SF 2. So many classic games. But, as a combo the N64 and GBC is hard to beat. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, all those...64 games (other than Superman, of course) a few ok Zelda and Marios too. That's not taking into account the great early Pokemon games and Tetris, portable, in color! Switch will eventually surpass all thanks to it's huge library of current and classic games. But for now, I'll stick with N64 and GBC. As I moved into the Sony-verse for the Wii and Wii-U generations I can scientifically remove those from my thoughts. It does hurt to abandon the 3DS though.
Man the breakable weapons... utterly killed the game for me. Never went back. Being playing Zelda games since SNES and am all up for reworking the formula but that I cannot think of a mechanic that has been responsible for me abandoning a game entirely like this. I know many others disagree and I'm not sure why I had such a strong reaction to it. After Skyrim I'm used to an open world with a little more... life... in it too. That would be nice. Sure people are on it. Not sure, but think the people that make and design these games may, sometimes, know a bit more than me.
Man this is depressing. Rare were great before Microsoft came calling. They were absorbed and essentially vanished soon after. Perfect Dark Zero isn't quite as fondly remembered as its predecessors! Dearly hope that won't happen to the others, but it easily could as they lose the ability to chose their own projects and direction. I could care less about CoD but I cannot see the Disney-fication of the gaming world as being a good thing for the wider community. I had hoped that we were beyond the idiocy of console wars and this attempt at a monopoly with the sole aim of forcing people's hand at hardware sales..
Not overly fussed about the game and ran out of interest in the new Who at the end of the Capaldi run, big fan of Chibnall's other work but the recent stories never quite gelled with me. But... that's not my reason for posting. It's the sub-heading. You crossed franchises! You never cross the franchises!!!
Kind of reminds me of the Nokia N-Gage. It must be better thought out than that was.
They thought it was a good idea to put the cartridge slot behind the phone battery. Meaning you had to switch the whole thing off and take the phone apart to change games. Shockingly it didn't take off. By the time they'd redesigned and relaunched the thing nobody cared.
Do like the look of the steam deck though. Between that, a switch and an iPad think I'll have all the portable gaming devices I could need.
Think I've quadruple-dipped with this. Best version I've played so far. Hope they follow it with KOTOR 2 and Jade Empire. Like others I've enjoyed the IOS versions but not the touch screen controls... The remaster will probably push me over the tipping point to finally getting a PS5.
I'm glad some people like it and find value in the product. But as an individual subscriber who no longer plays AC and already has the mega drive collection, I am struggling to justify what I'd be getting other than a dlc I wouldn't use and some not wonderfully emulated N64 games I'm not sure will survive the removal of my nostalgia specs.
I've had a lot of fun with this on PC and should be great on switch. Needs to be a lot cheaper though. I got it for about $10 on PC and the PS5 version was free on PS plus not long ago. Half the price and throw in the dlc and I could be tempted.
Surely cheesing is just being smarter way of finding legitimate ways to progress through a game? Good strategy is nothing to be ashamed of. Not really a big issue for me. I was just sucked in by the sub heading. I have a concern about how this would impact dairy intolerant gamers.
Not sure it's quite right that the premiere has been cancelled. I saw it in Shenzhen Friday night. Local audience didn't seem to notice the throwaway moment. Cancelling for not exactly being a good film and for Tony Jaa being the best actor (not fighter) on screen could be justifiable reasons for pulling it. Not bad dad jokes told in a bad dad joke way. Still, little silly to include it, knowing how touchy netizens are. Especially, if reports are accurate and they are relying on the Chinese box office for the film to make money.
Not sure how they can justify this price. Love the games. Played them to death back in 'the day'. Double dipped on steam and NWN2 on gog. Not going to pay nearly the same as I would on the latest DQ. Nostalgia does have limits. One for the watchlist.

No Detective Di on this list? And...and... isn't Overboard the exact opposite of a detective game? Even though is it rather good...

Oooooh... a switch version of Code Veronica would be something. Haven't played that since my DC days.
Then perhaps we can have Dino Crisis too???

Re: Feature: 14 Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Still Love To See
Sleeping Dogs would be amazing. But, Fallout is the franchise I really want to see on switch.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Open-World Games
No Lego City Undercover? Seems a bit of an oversight. Hyper Light Drifter is open world? Saints Row 4 over 3? So. Many. Questions.

@Stocksy If you get the trilogy set digitally it's only 44.99 for the 3. That's not a terrible price.

Real shame that. It looks good, think I'll wait for a few updates, fixes and price drops.
Still... daikatana is cheap on GoG at the moment.
Re: Review: Serious Sam Collection - Two-Thirds Enormous Fun, One-Third Crushing Disappointment
