Re: Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes Receives Another Switch Update, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Sakaixx

I almost bought the game on Switch as I been playing PS5 non stop for half the year due to the insane high quality jrpg/ asia based releases but seems I dodged a bullet. I have the game in my backlog for PS5 but havent started due to waiting for complete dlc.

Monster year for jrpg especially if you on PS5. First half was just incredible and we going into next half with Trails to Daybreak, YS X and Methapor refantazio. Hope these devs think about Switch 2 ports for those missing out/dont have PS5.

Re: UK Charts: Unicorn Overlord Plummets As Familiar Faces Return To The Top

@Mgalens it will be on PC after at least 3 month. Needs clarification on the exclusivity as even FF7R never gone anywhere besides PS/PC.

Square is a very weird company, sometimes they do exclusive for nintendo such as Harvestella and Triangle Strategy, for Sony like FF7 series & FF16. One thing for sure they never port their recent games to other consoles unless cases like Xbox paying for octopath traveller gamepass appearance or pushed by internal team like yoko taro always wishing he could port nier to Vita.... he got a nier port on switch.

Re: Digital Foundry Digs Into The Nvidia Chip Rumoured To Power 'Switch 2'

Sakaixx

The actual issue is how much nintendo willing to spen on the chip. Nintendo operates on profit and a $399 is likely the limit for the Switch 2 and not to mention console gaming is such a miniscule and stagnating economy for nvidia as it only supply those chips to nintendo. Would be a really interesting deep dive when we get to the specs on what kind of magic we will see to bridge the gap!

Re: Monster Hunter Rise Sales Surpass 12 Million Units Worldwide

I like MHR its combat mechanics is really good probably the best in MH and I enjoy the sunbreak expansion it address a lot of problem with MHR and improves the combat mechanics.

But I really do hope the next game return to MHW for designs of other things other than combat. Playing Rise and Sunbreak made me appreciates World so much I thought I just want a classic MH where u drop in kill monster and repeat but World's incredible details made hunts just that more fun and memorable. Not to mention the quality of events in World I absolutely adored the Behemoth fight it was probably the best event MH team ever developed even its gameplay so different from every other quest yet works in MH.

Re: Monster Hunter Rise Sales Surpass 12 Million Units Worldwide

@Dom_31 happily disagree. Base rise is fun for around 70 ish hours which is for many people is great but it really lacks endgame grind. Sure it should not have since sunbreak is the true end game but waiting for over a year for sunbreak was painful. At Least in base world u actually see tangible returns for hard work like those deco drops and the events were pretty spectacular like the FF14, Witcher 3 and some few other events.

World quest/event design pretty much destroy rise/sunbreak. Its far more engaging and keeps players invested. My fav quest in MH the MHW FF14 one is really cool like u fight a big ass powered up kulu ya ku using FF crystal and then leads to the fight vs Behemoth. Its those kind of quests that kept people playing longer than Rise.

Re: Microsoft Buys Activision Blizzard, Now Owns Call Of Duty And Crash Bandicoot

Sakaixx

Its a crazy purchase too. Now Xbox is the third largest video game publisher by revenue just behind Sony and Tencent. What a crazy audacious purchase, I personally hope it somehow hit an anti trust suit as I am very against market monopoly. Games (ex. Crash, Tony Hawk, Spyro) from activision regardless of what Nintendo fans think of them, potentially not ever coming to Nintendo platform.

Re: Review: Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom - A Sublime Port Of An Awesome Adventure

Sakaixx

Personally the review score is way too generous. I played the PS4 ver and would not rate it more than 7/10. Love the 1st game but the sequel is not the game. Take the positive in the review and add negative as below:

  • Button mash combat. Literally beat last boss by button mash, no other button combo at all other than when using special skill. No lie here, its one of the easiest way to max lvl to get the max lvl trophy on PS4 so everyone who chase platinum experienced this.
  • building uses time in game. Wasting your time, cant save and change time in setting. if you not aim for platinum or I guess on switch 100% its very stupid mechanic. Hopefully switch sleep function allows for time flow in game.
  • recruitment of over 40 char gets bit boring due to the amount of fetch quests related to it.
  • almost no voiced dialogue. Its stupidly jarring.

Re: Japanese Charts: NEO: The World Ends With You Gets Debut Number One, Ace Attorney Takes Third

Sakaixx

The original TWEWY did not make a splash in west but NEO charted top 10 in UK and in some European nations. Hope it also charts in NPD chart next. Hopefully with PC and PS4 release, new series for them alongside Switch the game can sells well. Just shows how 3rd party japan devs need world market more now.

Also seems like switch is finally slowing down, looks like everyone waiting for OLED.
