I guess I'm going to have to at some point in order to actually have weight to my critique...
But here's the thing... The trailer alone tells me that the characters aren't remotely like they should be. The feel and approach to the whole thing just is so off right within the trailer alone.
On top of that I have everyone else's critique.
I think I have good grounds not to bother but people will claim my arguement is invalid if I don't.
I really don't dislike engage at all. However, three houses is definitely my preferred. I prefer the more traditional style. I prefer the lengthy dialogue and interactions. I prefer the branching paths and complexity. Engage just felt like babies first Fire emblem in comparison... But I still liked it a lot 😂
Why would they not step up and simply tell people it was still in development? Why all this ridiculousness? It is in development hell clearly. What remains to be seen is whether or not it has been completely canned or will pick up again in the future...
Not even giving a minor payment for upgrade on the original game is inexcusable. They got feedback for doing it with Persona 5 and here they are doing it all over again. Makes me angry.
Really simple concise answer - Remaster = Cleaned up or totally facelifted visuals and audio. Quality of life additions and improvements. Remake = A complete reimagining of the original work from the ground up. Using only minimal original resources, if any, from the original.
I don't know why these "TotK haters" don't take up politics or something. You're ALL just flexing your ability to make an argument against someone... Go do debating for a job. TotK is quantifiably a way better title built on an amazing foundation.
Too many hipsters.
TotK is objectively a far better game.
More to see and do.
Far more involved and versatile set of abilities. (Abilities which work incredibly well ... Y'all are just too sore your deranged messes don't immediately work)
Literally everything, but the story, that the first game had.
COME ON PEOPLE!!
Utterly depressing that Potter still does so well despite how vile it's creator is... I don't think you people realise quite howuch it matters... Or perhaps you do... Which is even more depressing.
Digital foundry really don't bring anything positive to the table. If a game looks bad we don't need them to tell us. If we're enjoying a game, despite frame rates, who the hell cares? All they do is lionise games simply for functioning and demonise those that do not deserve it.
Why are you all so keen to shut amateurs and less able people out by making games harder? Have a tutorial on/off option, by all means, but don't revel in games being hard to grasp by not including guidance.
All digital. Can't get lost, stolen, destroyed or corroded. Sure I don't get to LOOK at it... But it also doesn't take up any physical space or require finding and inserting in order to play... Also... Since I'm terrible with money... It's rather useful in not being sellable. I sold so many games until the digital uprising.
Because the games industry has farmed a mentality of constant upgrade. So much so that people no EXPECT it before it's even been announced. What I mean is - they desperately want to part with half a grand to continue playing, despite swearing blind their system rocked months ago...
I've found a far better option. With cloud gaming the company pays for the upgrade. You just pay for the game. I'm done with chasing overpriced bricks. I can play my library anywhere with Stadia.
The Emperor Solus addition is a curve ball 👀
I would have ranked XIV at number 1 without a shadow of a doubt. Probably VI and IX next and after that I would struggle to choose the order.
@JayJ my whole point right here. People use the excuse of fiction to justify having their thirst for the abhorrent being sated... There's nothing positive about digesting horrendous acts in a fiction setting. Desensitizing yourself to it only widens your scope of accepting the intolerable.
I'll be honest I think the spirit of Australia's intentions is right. The nature of this kind of content is to shock. Over time all you can do is shock harder and harder... Until eventually you start overstepping the line of decency. We are already far far over that line in fiction today. We justify it by the very fact that it's fiction... I'm not so sure it hasn't rubbed off on people's attitudes in a big way.
@Dm9982 I honestly think GPU chip manufacturers are starting to panic... It's now no longer about simple power. It's resolution (so just more real estate to render) and branded lighting effects (woopee) ... There's little more they can give us. Their profit loop is coming to an end.
"If I keep guessing eventually I'll be right" Switch isn't broken. It doesn't need an upgrade. WE don't need an upgrade. How about you quit trying to encourage it with made up junk like this hmmm?
Oh god again!? Why are you all so desperate to part with cash simply to keep up with the Jones? Your stupid upgrade hype costs everyone else a fortune or, more often, just cuts us out if any further fun. Quit it! Switch is fine as is.
I'll be grabbing the PC version. I'm very concerned about Nintendo's direction. There is absolutely no way in hell the Monster Hunter Rise footage is on the current Switch. That means there's a "New" one on the way... And that SUCKS
The fact it's intentionally ugly is insidious as hell... As always the gaming industry exploits the gamer neat freak mentality. Buy Nintendo Online and it goes away... Evil
I'm calling a "New Switch" BS move in the near future. All these games we're excited for with be horribly choked on our existing devices and we'll all have to find £300 or more for the right to enjoy them properly.

Re: Silksong Is "Not In Dev Hell" According To Playtester

Why all this ridiculousness?
It is in development hell clearly. What remains to be seen is whether or not it has been completely canned or will pick up again in the future...

Re: Talking Point: 'Remake' Vs. 'Remaster' - What's Your Definition?
Really simple concise answer -
Remaster = Cleaned up or totally facelifted visuals and audio. Quality of life additions and improvements.
Remake = A complete reimagining of the original work from the ground up. Using only minimal original resources, if any, from the original.

This is prep for the successor.

If Nintendo genuinely have nothing for us on Switch 2 this year they face some very wobbly times in the coming months...
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Talks 8-Inch 'Switch 2' Screen, Joy-Con Compatibility
Digital foundry really don't bring anything positive to the table.

All they do is lionise games simply for functioning and demonise those that do not deserve it.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Store Your Games Collection?
All digital.
Can't get lost, stolen, destroyed or corroded.
Sure I don't get to LOOK at it... But it also doesn't take up any physical space or require finding and inserting in order to play...
Also... Since I'm terrible with money... It's rather useful in not being sellable.
I sold so many games until the digital uprising.

@Zimon These games are, by your likely accounts, a cell phone game. There's plenty for you on the way. Step aside.

Re: Video: This Is What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Running At 8K With Ray Tracing Enabled
@RainbowGazelle full agreement. No need for more cost for the sake of something as hollow as cooing over high power chips.
Re: Video: This Is What Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Looks Like Running At 8K With Ray Tracing Enabled
This does NOT look better.
The assumption that elements of more realism = better is so awful.
Just plays into GPU manufacturers hands 🤷♀️

Re: Capcom To Share "Brand-New Information" About Monster Hunter Rise This Month
Simultaneous release on other formats.
Drops mic and runs out the Nintendo Treehouse door terribly fast...
Re: Nintendo Is "Always Looking" At New Tech, But Refuses To Be Drawn On Switch Pro Rumours
It just isn't needed.
The constant push for tiny iteration of upgrades is unhealthy on all but business. Stop desiring it!
You're all getting excited for lighting... LIGHTING!?... It's insane.
Re: Nintendo Paid "Around $6 Million" For Monster Hunter Rise's Timed Exclusivity On Switch
I will be waiting for the PC version. There's no way it's going to look as good as they're showing.
Re: Persona 5 Strikers Switch eShop File Size Revealed
I'll be grabbing the PC version.
I'm very concerned about Nintendo's direction.
There is absolutely no way in hell the Monster Hunter Rise footage is on the current Switch.
That means there's a "New" one on the way... And that SUCKS
