Re: Square Enix Reports $33 Million Loss After New Studio Shifts Focus

Peterjr1

@ThomasS Shadow of the Tomb Raider is fantastic and my game of the year but unfortunately it released quite close to Spider-Man and it got some bashing for Lara being a ‘white savior’ which kinda diminished some of its media coverage.

But the artcle does state that the losses are likely becuase of them investing in a new studio so I don’t think either Tomb Raider or Octopath are responsible.

Re: Video: Fortnite's Second Real-Time Event Just Warped Players To A New Dimension

Im really impressed at their ability to pull off real-time, map changing events like this. Watched the rocket launch with my sister and then watched this with my partner and was blown away both times. We were both very confused when everyone was floating and we were suddenly nowhere near each other. Then when all is said and done, there’s ANOTHER free item for doing challenges just after we got a lot of free stuff for Fortnitemares. I love this game.

Re: Fortnite Has Been Downloaded To Nearly Half Of All Nintendo Switch Systems Worldwide

How brave of all these commenters to say they’re proud they don’t have it installed and never will. The whole ‘I played 2 games so I know what I’m talking about’ is ridiculous. You don’t play 1 match of Counter Strike and expect to be amazing and you can’t spout about how you don’t understand the phenomenon because you aren’t good at it.

It’s just ridiculous to feel proud you don’t enjoy something that many others do.

Re: Random: Super Mario Party Shows That Nintendo Still Can't Decide Birdo's Gender

@jhewitt3476 how is one character being trans ‘active propagation’? Referring to being gay as an ‘alternative lifestyle’ that doesn’t deserve representation speaks very clearly to your bias against any sort of representation. Your straw man arguments that gender ‘just doesn’t mstter’ are completely disproven when the franchise history of Bowsers love for Peach and Mario’s love for her are taken into account as well as the base fact that Mario is always a ‘he’ and Peach and Rosalina etc. are always ‘she’. We have RPGs in this franchise that fully flesh out a lot of characters but Birdo can’t have a 1 sentence long description that matters?

If gender and such truly don’t matter to you in video games then you wouldn’t be here arguing so fervently against anything other than straight, CIS characters being presented in the game. You’re clearly bothered and so it clearly matters.

Re: Random: Super Mario Party Shows That Nintendo Still Can't Decide Birdo's Gender

The comments on here are gross. Why, whenever a character is possibly LGBT do people suddenly decide that characters shouldn’t have genders or sexualities?

Are you people seriously going to now say that Mario isn’t male? That he isn’t straight? That Luigi isn’t male? That peach isn’t female? These characteristics obviously matter to their character and it’s an idiotic straw man to throw out ‘why does gender matter? Why do they have genders?’.

If the manual from ages ago said that she identifies as a she then THAT IS HER CHARACTER. The pronoun confusion is obviously a miscommunication and that’s it. You shouldn’t jump on the opportunity to try and act like people are irrational for liking the character as stated at her inception.

Im freaking sick of people just saying ‘gender doesn’t matter and sexuality doesn’t matter, it’s a video game’ when that only comes up if a character slightly deviates from the norm. Sexuality and gender don’t matter? Tell that to all the romance and role playing video games that exist and the forced straight romances in every game ever. Mario and Bowser both love Peach for Christ’s sake.

Re: Epic Reveals All About Fortnite's Game-Changing High Stakes Limited Time Event

@Vepra yeah I think he’ll be 1500 as he has a backbling and selectable styles like Tomatohead who was also 1500 but Tomatohead has a more expansive change in his style so I really can’t see Wildcard costing more than that. Also, with blues getting backblings, purples getting backblings and styles and golds now having contrails included too; the fact his contrail is free should mean he can’t be 2000. I’m kinda really hoping he’s 1500 as I’ve spent a lot on this game and want to chill it on the spending now I have STW and currently have enough aside for the next battlepass and a 1500 skin.

Yeah payday looks very expensive on switch so I probably won’t get it as I have so many other games on pre-order right now (Tomb Raider, Smash, Odyssey etc) haha

Re: Epic Reveals All About Fortnite's Game-Changing High Stakes Limited Time Event

Really like that there’s free rewards as everything having a price tag can put off even paying players (like myself) and the new mode looks great so I can’t wait.

Also the new skin looks great, I really like my John Wick skin and was saying the other day that I want more suited male characters as they usually just shove those really baggy joggers on the male characters and call it a day (even for their wetsuit guy) and this white suit looks slick.

Re: Players Have Had Enough Of Fortnite's "Unplayable" State On Switch, Send Plea To Epic Games

Peterjr1

Yeah all of this plus the lowered resolution in the latest patch is awful. I can’t believe people who are honestly trying to say they never encountered anything listed here (especially the resolution and framerate issues) as the difference in resolution between this patch and the last patch are night and day

Ive played 180 hours since the Switch release and 100 before it since I started around when it launched. This is the worst state it’s ever been in

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (Switch)

Peterjr1

I find it kinda funny that people are in here saying it’s not worth the price when this game has 200-600 (or more) hours of content to be played if that doesn’t make a game worth £40-50 then I don’t know what does. Yes the graphics aren’t as nice as world but they’re still nice and the sheer amount of content and play styles more than justifies the price. No one should feel bad for buying this game and the idea that you’re betraying your fellow gamer by buying this is pathetic
