Nah, I have the Waterfield City Slicker case that put this to shame. Plus, K00P3R’s above comment explains perfectly why this product scream ‘bad idea’.
Right now, if your name isn’t MarioGolf, you don’t mean much to me. I might do Ender Lilies and Metal Unit, if they review well. Other than that, see you on the links.
Not seeing this or even hearing anything about it, made me so mad, I became sad. This bummed me out more than the fabled Switch Pro. These were the only two things missing from the show. I knew I wasn’t gonna get MP4, but I thought for sure Bayonetta and maybe a new Switch model. Dammit…
@jcvandan not that I’m aware of. Shooting diagonally should be a qol feature. Paying homage, to the detriment of gameplay, should have been reconsidered here.
I’m playing this now and I dig it. It desperately needs diagonal shooting though. So many times I tried (and assumed) that shooting at an angle was a given. Only to get blasted because I imagined my bullets would go where I wanted. The vehicles have 360 shooting. Which makes it that much more noticeable, when you’re on foot again and it’s taken away from you.
I’m hoping this style of animation is a small fad and just fades away. I was interested until I saw it in motion. I’m imagining that it’s the most cost effective way to get to the end result and it shows.
MarioGolf all the way. I’ve been counting the days since it’s announcement. And if I’m gonna do Ninja Gaiden, it’ll be for the SX. But, since there are no next gen enhancements, I’ll probably wait for a sale.
Edit: of yeah, Mighty Goose is out on the 5th. Can’t wait
Cool. I’m very close to wrapping up every single hub quest and doing the final battle as the very last thing. I have no problem with Capcom keeping me playing MHR post credits. Keep’em coming
Not feeling the graphics and the marionette style animation. Despite its cleanliness, it comes off as cheap and quick. Maybe for budget reasons this style is necessary..? But alas, as soon as I see it, I’m out. I do like it’s premise though.
@Savino No argument here. I’m getting the Switch version first. But, I’m a multi-console gamer. Always have been and will be. I won’t cross the pond over to pc gaming. I already spend too much on my affliction. Plus, I mostly play on the big screen. For the rare moments that I do play in handheld, I found this game to be a perfect fit. Now, if when playing/beating this game I find it awesome and long for it to look awesome, I’ll double dip for SX.
R-Type in handheld mode is excellent. On a 75” 4K? Not so much. I played the demo on my Switch and Pro. The Pro looked noticeably better/cleaner. The Switch was blurry and lacked an overall crispness. Since I now resent my PS4 (because I have a Series X) I might double dip on R-Type and get it on SX too, if I like it on Switch.
Now to address my PS4 resentment, I can’t find a damn PS5. If I could, that PS4 would be long gone. The SX, in terms of performance, puts it to shame. SHAME. 1st chance I get... bye!
Menu and eshop music to be sure. Custom backgrounds would be nice too. And for the love of god, if someone makes it on to my friends list, I should be able to message them.
I don’t know if it’s already in the game, but I’d like a way to change the skin color. I’m still gonna buy the game and I’m not going to hold it against the devs if it’s not included. I just want to make my guy brown to match me. Here’s hoping. Either way, the game looks great and it’s a day one for me.
@DK-Fan people are entitled to not like something and have their reasons for doing so. Let’s not sling names... AND, perhaps more importantly, this game sucks.
Got Fez last night and Rain On Your Parade I’m gonna do in Game Pass. I was about to do Godstrike, but that 4/10 from NL, brought that purchase to a screeching halt.
Bought Fez last night. Will be doing TMNT day one. Aztech I’ll do on Series X. Skul has promise and so does Getsu. Olli Olli looks like a winner and Ender Lilies is a definite maybe.
Edit: bummed there was no Mighty Goose info. Dying for that game
@GrailUK Yup. Series X (which I barely managed to get my hands on) or PS5 (if it’s even still possible buy one) for me. Unless there is, in fact a Switch Pro coming, this will run terribly on the current Switch. I’m fairly certain, and willing to bet, that trailer was not Switch footage.
After 52 hours of Rise... I’m mildly novice. The hardest part is keeping track of everything BESIDES the hunting. All the other stuff you have to manage, makes it a tad convoluted/confusing. YouTube has me seeing a lot of tutorials these days. And Rise could’ve left out the Rampage mode. Which is essentially a real-time tower defense game. I don’t like that I have to slog through that to progress in the campaign
@TryToBeHopeful I was about to say the same thing. I was debating getting this for my Switch and then I saw that it was coming to GP. Even though, I think this game is a better fit for the Switch, I’m already paying for GP. So, no need to pay twice... unless it’s that good
Yup. I tried every weapon extensively and this is what I landed on. I’m a first time MH addict, after many previous MH attempts throughout the years. Rise finally hooked me. I’m a big Bayonetta fan and I found that I needed something that gives me a “similar” play style, allows me to get out of my own way and look cool af when doing it. Thus, the Glaive. It has its quirks, but once you figure it out... it’s over.
It took a minute for me, but I’m glad I stuck with it. Super feeling the Insect Glaive. It does take a minute to get into, but once everything comes together... it’s too good to be real. I’m a new fan.

Re: Soapbox: The Insect Glaive Is Still Awesome In Monster Hunter Rise
