Why can’t I get a (another) remake of 4 and 6? That being said I hope this has all the 3DS content because I didn’t finish that. Also has it not been long enough yet to redo 9?
Verdict: Buying. I own 2 versions of this game and still haven’t beat it. Chop Chop.
Animal Crossing meets Don’t Starve in Australia? I feel like a bunch of phobias will be unlocked. Hilarious premise though given Australia’s wildlife reputation.
@PJOReilly Haha, been a really good past few years for gaming but as a ninja and samurai fan, I have been eating well over past 11 or so months lol. Hope you survive silksong!
AC:Shadows has me in an open world headlock plus ghost of yotei on the way, but I am gonna get the new ninja gaiden game to tighten up gameplay experiences.
There was a bench in HK that was a trap bench as well (and it also gave hints that it is different). I didn’t even finish HK and I know about that. As an outsider, the hype gamers that are mad at this game are getting funny.
I love that I am so behind on Pokemon that all this is brand new to me.
Edit: looked this up. ok I am convinced GF has generational trauma and is making it everyone else’s problem. Also to you jaded Pokemon participants how tf are y'all making fun of the basketball player, iridescent, genius, psychic land walking/floating murder squid?! I’m going back to Nioh where it is safe.
@Jeronan I said likely and may not because I was speculating. I have no idea what may or may not have been signed between Nintendo and Genki. I thought that the language used made that clear but I will edit my post.
@Coxula It wasn’t a mistake. Genki literally advertised that they would discuss Switch 2 and accessories at CES. Which was before Nintendo’s announcement. And without Nintendo’s approval. (which was what the lawsuit was about.) Which means they had to set up a table and bring product. This was planned. They were banking on having the “inside scoop” to sell more product and boost recognition.
Edit: This is speculation because I don’t work at either company. They are likely still selling accessories because of the contract terms (which also might be part of why they settled. As it has not been proven in court that they breached contract so they can ride the contract out without paying Nintendo more money. ) They may not get a new/future contract though. Chances are they gambled and ended up burning bridges. Other accessory manufacturers will likely swoop in to pick up any slack. Companies do not like having their product details given away/accessed by outside companies without following their guidelines.
I have no hat in this race as I didn’t enjoy or beat Hollow Knight, however I wonder if some of the complaints are due to new players that bought the game due to hype, or people that beat HK years ago and have rose tinted things or simply folks being older now (and everything that can go with that). I would expect a difficulty spike in a sequel and probably be confused if there wasn’t one.
Edit: I am not a fan of difficulty options/nerfing after the fact (except fighting games) because unless the difficulty is purely hit and damage ratios, easy mode usually doesn’t address level design or enemy placement or damage frames.
I just hope this leans to more ports and same day multiplats. I’m pleased with what is here and on the way but also see a number of titles that I hope companies will find worth the port investment.
There is a lot of variety and when I add my switch backlog on top, welp tons to play. But I am enjoying the switch 2 exclusive/optimized games. Loving the 3rd party games. Wishlist is not getting smaller.
Absolutely no care for Silksong so personally I want to see reviews of Dark Deity 2. Been thinking about dusting off the 3ds and roasting my eye to replay the FE games there.
@Synecdoche Of everything? And with customer expectation that they must keep these things and make them available forever? I doubt that either industry you mentioned keeps everything nor intends to from the start (or even can depending on contract). The storage space costs and medium deterioration alone doesn’t allow for that. And those items that are kept are done so with the intent to reuse (to save or make money) or for contract usage and disposed of or auctioned when no longer of value to the company. Not what I am referring to in my comment. However I have edited my comment for clarity. It seems like you took my comment as being hyperbolic when it wasn’t.
@CaleBoi25 No interest in handing your mom a N64 controller and playing goldeneye on switch/2? Goldeneye was that must have game at the time but didn’t mean that a person would move onto other bond games.
I am very hopeful for this game. As I can’t really enjoy first person shooters (but grew up with goldeneye), the 3rd person bond games were pretty much the only shooters (well also gears of war) I played. (Everything or Nothing is still my favorite action game with guns.) So this plus the Hitman DNA means the game should be fun. Performance will decide if I buy it twice or not. Also, love M and Moneypenny.
Also hoping since this isn’t tied to an actor that they will make a few of these. I don’t like bond but I like his adventures/games.
