Re: PUBG Owner Krafton To Acquire Subnautica Studio Unknown Worlds

Sam_Loser2

@Munchlax With all the patches I'd say "rare crashes". Most crashes I got were when base-building, so I learned to be extra careful saving when doing that.

For me I feel it runs pretty well nearly all the time, to the point I'd definitely still encourage people to go ahead with the Switch version.

Re: Nintendo's Record On Conflict Minerals Is Praised, But With An Important Catch

Sam_Loser2

I think "important catch" is ridiculous. Nintendo is taking the most efficient approach to avoid contributing to a horrible problem. Nintendo has no responsibility to improve this issue in other countries. Not sure how buying from others in the same country would help anyway; a lack of sale is a lack of a sale, whether they bought from the competitor down the street or from one across the world. The "ideal" approach would be for a country's own people and government to crack down on such activities.

Re: Talking Point: The Problem With The X Button

I don't really interact with Xbox, and all Playstation controlers have been pretty much the same, so it is with a lot of ease that my mind goes from X&O on a Playstation to b&a on anything else I have, which is basically always a Nintendo.

Re: Monster Hunter Movie Director And Star Apologise To Chinese Viewers For "Racist" Joke

@RandomAfricanGamer
That is kind of a silly assumption. What is the more likely scienero?
1) That the actor who improvised it purposely improvised a joke to bring down his own ethnicity, and then the movie studio purposely included it to bring down the group that makes up a huge portion of their market?
2) Or that a shallow action movie added in a stupid pun, just like all the other stupid puns in all the other shallow action movies?

Maybe you can't bring yourself to think the odds of #1 is 0%, but surely it is far lower than #2?

Re: Video: Genshin Impact Gets A New, Gorgeously Animated Story Trailer

This game looked really promising. Exploration, combat, world, story, characters, it had it all. A potential meaty experience, but then I learned it was free-to-play, and I can't imagine how it is actually going to be good.

I hope to be wrong, since it's free it is worth a try, but I can't imagine how a Breath-of-the-Wild-experiance could work with ANY amount of microtransactions muddling the experience. I'd rather just buy the game so the monetization doesn't interfere with the gameplay.

Re: Poll: Did The Nintendo Direct Mini: Partners Showcase Meet Your Expectations?

Sam_Loser2

As it has been 3 months from the last mini, 10 months from the full direct, and there is approximately 0 offerings from Nintendo for the rest of the year and no big holiday title, I can't say this was all that exciting, though just having nothing I am personally interested in of course contributes to that.

At this point I just have that disheartening feeling that Nintendo truly has nothing else for 2020 or early 2021, which is not a good position to be in.

Re: Poll: Is It Cool To Time Travel In Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

Sam_Loser2

I can understand the sentiment "Let others play the way they want to", though I have the same opinion here as I do in Pokemon. For a game that involves trading amongst players, cheating in any way undermines the game for everyone. Everything in the "Animal Crossing economy" has completely artificial value, but that is undermined if someone plays several weeks of the stalk market in a day, or dups a rare item, or fast forwards for golden tools. That person really shouldn't participate in community economic events with those advantages.
