Re: Nintendo Hosts Huge 'Go Digital' Sale, Up To 90% Off More Than 130 Switch Games (Europe)

PlayedNSlayed

@Dellybelly I'm not doubting what you're saying regarding exclusives as it's the reason Nintendo consoles sell, but there are plenty of indie games that deserve attention. And a lot of them, the really good ones,have generally sold the best on the Switch. For example, Dead Cells and Hollow Knight have been some of the best games I've played over the last couple of years, Hollow Knight especially, and I can't wait for the sequel that's coming. More great games is only a good thing in my opinion regardless whether they're mainstream or Indies and with the sale at the moment it certainly encourages impulse buys of games I've glossed over previously. The problem I have is finding time to play them πŸ˜†

@Dellybelly Well then i guess you've bought everything by the sound of it. I on the other hand haven't picked loads of these games as i think the base prices are too high. Just got all the Steamworld games for ridiculous prices and Celeste is looking tempting along with The Messenger and Bastion. I'm sure there are others that I've overlooked before and are now in this sale. Each to their own though i guess

Re: Mortal Kombat 11 Patches Are Imminent, All Players To Receive In-Game Currency

@Medic_alert But the hundreds of hours you mention isn't based on content ,it's based around a ridiculous intentional grind to push you to spending money to bypass the grind. why is there 6 different currencies in the game? sounds like mobile game design more than ever. if these publishers continue to go down this road then I hope it fails. continually trying to fleece consumers shouldn't be in any way supported. Amiibos I've never bothered with so I'm with you on that one

And cue the incoming articles from various gaming 'journalists' about toxic masculinity and sexism being rife in the gaming community. You know its going to happen This will all blow over before long and its only happened because its a new feature that people are going to initially do silly things like this. Give it few weeks and these stupid stages will be replaced and vastly outnumbered by people using it to make great ones. Honestly the whole being offended culture is the reason censorship is going to become more prevalent and that's the real problem that no one with common sense wants

Re: Warframe Gets A Huge Graphical Overhaul In The Plains of Eidolon Remaster Update

PlayedNSlayed

@Zach777 Yes completely agree. I want to like it more than I do and would probably play more of it but I feel like I'm banging my head against wall at times as its too complicated to even understand what's going on or what you're supposed to do. I've done a fair few hours on it and it's still too confusing. The menus etc are a complete mess. Real shame that after so many years of it being out ,it's still the core problem issue that hasnt been addressed

Re: Video: Here's Your First Look At Mortal Kombat 11 Running On The Nintendo Switch

So whats in the 16gb mandatory day one patch i wonder? Can you even boot the game direct from the cartridge? Maybe someone should try it in flight mode and see what happens. This cheap copout out by publishers/developers is getting a little ridiculous now. I could stomach it with DOOM because it only pertained to the multiplayer,but when 60% of a game is not available on the cartridge you get out of the box,then its effectively taking the piss

Re: Super Mario Party Finally Gets Its First Update, But It's Far From Exciting

PlayedNSlayed

@Matthew010 my point is that when you look what has been released so far this year on other platforms,what have Nintendo offered amongst those?a rehashed 2d Mario game. A Yoshi game is what's coming next week and that's it for this year so far. In comparison it just highlights still the lack of third party options again on the Switch,which is still what's holding it back and that's a shame as it could be so much more and MORE people would have one which is only good for the Switch

Re: Want Resident Evil On Your Switch? You'd Better Have Deep Pockets

PlayedNSlayed

Capcom are doing this price hike with Switch only gamers in mind. With the recent success of RE2 remake(well deserved as its fantastic)and with it in no way coming to the Switch, they're hoping to play to those people desperate to get some resident evil action on Switch and will pay more to have that.Especially with 4 as its more comparable to RE2 remake. Just my opinion of course, and I'll be skipping these until they're priced at least to around 40% less than the current mark up. Unless Capcom wise up these games are going to sell terribly

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Coming To Nintendo Switch As A Console Exclusive

PlayedNSlayed

WHEN WHEN WHEN can i buy it?? Looks and sounds great just like the first. I still have to go back and do the last released dlc of Hollow Knight and defeat the 'true' final boss as i just couldn't do it at the time. Maybe time to go back and try again. Hornet is a great character too,so can't wait for this. I hope there are some quality of life improvements over the first though,generally with the mapping system

Re: Video: 10 Exciting Games Coming To Switch In The Month Of February

PlayedNSlayed

Is that it again for the Switch for the next month? 2 months into the year, and nearing 2 years since the Switch came out,and the best offering so far has been a port of a sub par mario platformer. It says everything when Nintendo gaming sites are having to imply and fake excitement around another cluster of forgetful indie games. Maybe it's just me but I expect better from Nintendo and feel they're getting complacent.
