Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download A Demo Of Immortals Fenyx Rising From The Switch eShop

ROBLOGNICK

I downloaded it and tried it. It was ... OK. The story was good and delivered in a fun way I've not really seen before in a game. The world was quite nice looking and seemed a little busier than Hyrule so that was good. The water is terrible. The climbing is not as good as BotW. The controls are overly complicated and not at all intuitive. I kept forgetting the countless number of combinations by the time any enemy of significance was on screen. Flying felt nice and so did the bow and arrow (the one that you can fly through those hoops to get the bonus chest was awesome!).

Re: Looks Like Nintendo Accidentally Used A Fan-Made Mario Render On Its Website

ROBLOGNICK

So the way you can tell is the texture on the moustache and the awful colouring around the eyes? Otherwise it's a direct copy.

What I find hilarious about this is that Nintendo (and other companies that have also done this) don't have a local server with all their images on. They just go on Google images and go, 'yeah I'll use that one' and not even care where it comes from. I guess it's their copyright really so there's not much artist can do I'd imagine.

It smarts a little though when you consider Nintendo take down all the fan created games and then go 'we'll take that and use it on our website thank you very much'.

Re: Mini Review: Picross S5 - You Know The Drill By Now, Surely?

ROBLOGNICK

I think these Picross S games are really sterile feel. They have no personality to them. I'm still on Picross S 1 and I don't think I'll bother with any others. I remember when they images you'd uncover would animate. The 3D version (first, not second) also had a good feel about it. Shame these don't recreate that magic.

Re: Abzu Is Just $1.99 On The Switch eShop, That's 90% Off

ROBLOGNICK

I bought it last year when it was like £7 or something but didn't actually play it until last week. It was nice. But I played it in one and the exploration elements were a little boring. The set pieces the game takes you through though were wonderful. I'd say it was absolutely worth it at 90% off!

Re: Random: Atari Shows Off Concept Art For Its New Hotels, And It All Looks Insane

ROBLOGNICK

I can't say it doesn't look cool to me, a kid that grew up in the mid-80s and early 90s. I, and older people, are probably the target market. But we all know it's not going to look anything like that right? They'll run out of money.

Did they console they were touting launch yet?

I find it funny that Atari are going backwards. Soon they'll be selling playing cards and mahjong tables.
