Good luck to you with Stadia. I have been dismissive of its chances in the past (still am to be honest) but I admire anyone willing to give it a crack and try out something new.
I will probably get the PS4 version to be honest as there is no way I am paying full price for a simple roster upgrade.
I do enjoy the faster gameplay of the Switch Fifa's but I worry about the strength of the online player base on Fifa 19 for Switch so will move over to PS4 this year.
Sales are a third lower for NBA 20 than 19 so that is something.
Although even I have my weakness for sports games that include microtransactions. Case in point being Fifa but I never go anywhere near FUT or spend a penny more than the original price of the game. I am happy just playing online seasons mode.
Grow up. I was just stating why Nintendo wouldn't release their games on Xbox not whether I want them to or not.
But just so you know I absolutley do not want them to and I don't think Microsoft should have either. Exclusives are extremely important for consoles and just look at the situation Microsoft have created because they release a few of their games on Switch. Everytime they release a new game people will ask why it isn't on Switch and will start yapping about it. Microsoft have created unneccessary confusion by using this startegy that was born out of pure desperation due to the poor performance of the Xbox One.
Nintendo don't have to give anything back. Xbox One was a disaster this gen (why have Microsoft never revealed hardware sales?) and they have been trying everything to claw themselves back.
Things like backwards compatability and Gamepass wouldn't have happened if they had Sony levels of success and putting games on Switch is just another attempt to recoup money. Microsoft were desperate. Nintendo always sticks to its guns and even when they have a disaster like Wii U they never forget the importance of their first, second and third party exclusives.
Agreed, they suck. At least Nintendo have described it as "Free to Start" so there is no doubt but I would rather this monetisation system just didn't exist.
Unfortunately clearly there is a lot of people who are happy with it and happy to keep paying.
I consider DLC as content that properly expands the game like the extra tracks in MK8 or extra story DLC with hours of content.
I consider microtransactions as buying horse armour or costumes or whatever rubbish currency a game has given itself to pay for lootboxes or costumes etc. I despise the practise of microtransactions and will never support it.
DLC and season passes aren't microtransactions and only a fool would think they were.
Nintendo embracing the mobile free to play mechanics on their mobile games is awful and I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. If they show their face on full priced Nintendo console games I am done.
You are yet again trying to spin a narrative that isn't there for the vast majority of people.
MK8 DLC was worth the money in my opinion but the day microtransactions start showing up in mainline Nintendo console games is the day I stop buying games.
On this website maybe not but with a lot of Nintendo releases it says on the eshop that it does not support cloud saves only to be changed closer to release.
Luigi's Mansion 3 was the last one people were worrying about it on reddit but it now states it supports cloud saves.
No problem with that. Exclusives sell consoles. Microsofts problem had been it had hardly any worthwhile exclusives this gen but now they are working on that they want to keep their future exlcusives on their own console, same as Nintendo and Sony.
This review is overly harsh, an easy 8 for me. I am loving the game but wish the framerate was a bit more consistent, still lightyears better than the original's framerate though!
Also there is an issue when you turn quickly the walls pop in from a white background which can be an immersion breaker. Hopefully it gets fixed in a patch.

I have the Chromecast Ultra, it is great for streaming movies/3pm football games etc. so I can certainly recommend that.
Re: UK Charts: Astral Chain Loses Its Number One Spot As NBA And Spyro Take Charge
@Pigeon
That is a poor comparison.
Smash released with a tonne of fighters and the extra paid content is DLC not microtransaction lootbox gambling scummery.

Re: Iron Galaxy Helped Bring Overwatch To Switch, Nintendo Version Runs At 30fps
Have to say I can't see it being that much of a seller.
The game has already had its day in the sun and the likes of Fortnite have taken over .
This is just an observation as I have no interest in any game like this.

Re: '90s Super GP Is Still Alive, And Will Now Include Online Play

I am happy you are getting enjoyment out of it but the damage has been done for me. Maybe if it drops below a tenner but not before then.
Re: '90s Super GP Is Still Alive, And Will Now Include Online Play
I would still buy it.
Also that Wii U footage still looks leagues better than Xenon Racer on Switch. What a dumpster fire of a game that turned out to be.

Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
Cool, glad we reached some kind of agreement at least!
We may not agree on the value of DLC, I agree microtransactions are pure evil, but we can agree on who really is to blame!
Have a good one.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
They can't buy it if it doesn't exist.
No this all started with the game makers, make no mistake about that. They are the ones who betrayed the gamers.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
You are saying how it is all related. It all stems from the people who make the games, seems a natural extension.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
Yes they are all related to games and all game makers so if your stance is this strong you may wish to quit gaming altogether.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
Well suck it up as I will support DLC if it is done right.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right

I said MK8 not MK8 Deluxe I wasn't trying to trick you.
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Agramonte
Unless it is story DLC?
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
I don't know what that is. Only played an hour of Oblivion. Any examples from the last decade?
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Agramonte
Did you buy the MK8 DLC?
Re: Soapbox: Mario Kart Tour Looks Lousy With F2P Trappings, But That’s All Right
@Crono1973
I didn't buy that because I am not an idiot.
I understand how we got here but DLC and season passes for DLC is not the same as microtransactions. It just isn't.

And that is the obvious tip of the iceberg. I mean come on.
Re: Review: Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - A Painfully Incomplete Version Of An N64 Classic
This review is overly harsh, an easy 8 for me. I am loving the game but wish the framerate was a bit more consistent, still lightyears better than the original's framerate though!
Also there is an issue when you turn quickly the walls pop in from a white background which can be an immersion breaker. Hopefully it gets fixed in a patch.
