Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

SMJ

@tseliot Agreed back. It will never match those two franchises in sales but I love the Metroid games more than any other Nintendo series. I just wish the rest of the world agreed and backed it up with purchases. Hopefully the popularity of Switch will kickstart a Metroid revival with Dread.

Re: Talking Point: With Sony And Microsoft In Next-Gen Limbo, E3 Is Nintendo's For The Taking

I own a Switch, PS4 Pro and an Xbox One X. I haven't bought a PS5 or Series X because I literally have no reason to. Everything that interests me on those systems I can play on the consoles I currently own. Why would I shell out £500 on a PS5 when Horizon and GoW will be available on my PS4. Faster loading, better lighting and 'moss and facial hair' does not impress me. At least MS were honest about not having any truly next gen games ready. Sony lied. Mocked the competition. Then backtracked. Their first party titles are not truly next gen because they've been designed with PS4 in mind.

Re: It Seems Game Builder Garage Will Only Be Available On The eShop In Europe

@CactusMan But only in Europe??? I'd understand if it was digital everywhere but there's no excuse to avoid physical solely in Europe. Anyone who wants a physical cartridge will have to import. A game like this seems like it's destined for paid DLC unfortunately and so those importers would need to set up a non EU account for the privilege or miss out entirely. It doesn't seem right considering its a first party game.

@Mr-Fuggles777 Well done for nearly turning 40. I'm a couple of weeks away myself. I have games from 30 years ago that still work. The fact that modern games need a patch to work isn't a good thing and I don't know why you use that to argue your point. A game you buy should work out of the box. I've never bought a film that required me to download a patch to watch the ending. A game shouldn't be a transient thing like hearing a song on the radio. If I pay full price it should be mine to do as I please with for as long as I want.
