Re: Surprise! Switch Online's Battle Royale Tetris 99 Just Got A New Update

Pod

Nice with updates, as I still play this. Though what really has needed revision ever since it showed up are the unlock criteria for the the player icons pertaining to the Team Play.
No-one (at least I'd wager so) has managed to win ten games while playing for a team with ten or fewer players. Simply because the system assigns so many CPUs to teams that you are only ever less than 10 on the rare occasion that a lot of human players are present, AND your team color was picked by very few. And then you gotta win from that position as well. Ten times.

Rude. Roger Dead is still alive, and the logo is iconic.

Re: Players Need To Start "Feeling Comfortable" With Not Owning Games, Says Ubisoft Subs Boss

I own WAY more games than I'll play. Physically, and especially digitally.
For many, it would make no difference if I just had subscription access, and suddenly didn't have it anymore.

For the ones I'm actually playing though, it makes no sense to me that I'd have to keep paying every month, even when I WASN'T playing.

It's not that I really care about "owning" digital copies. Because I don't. I can't resell them. It's just that I don't want to have to think about not having access to my games if I stopped paying.

And if anyone at Ubi wants to talk about what "needs" to happen, then I'd suggest they start making interesting games again, and stop greenlighting projects they're going to cancel anyway.

I know a lot of people are more forgiving of the movie than I am, so maybe it wasn't all for naught, but as you say, I've ended up seeing the whole process as just another example of greed. Where some execs were straight up scared that their investsments wouldn't be returned, and had to react to secure the cash flow, rather than anybody wanting to make the best possible Sonic movie.

Re: Talking Point: What Will The 'Switch 2' Actually Be Called?

People said Nintendo would be stupid not to use the Wii name for the successor. But that turned out to be a HUGE mistake.

So let's be very mindful of that when we suggest that the follow-up to Switch would use the same name.

Nintendo might want to be deliberate about changing it.

While I do agree that it was good they changed it, what wasn't so good was that the rest of the film still was as poorly made as Ugly Sonic had implied, and that a lot of money ended up being spent pushing the release schedule, with made CG-people being overworked.
The story of them accepting the feedback meant nobody critiqued the still somewhat incorrect Sonic design, that they went iwth in the end, or the terrible story nearly as hard as could (and maybe SHOULD) have been the case.
