While not perfect, this game has been really cool and has meant something to me. I’m disappointed that it didn’t sell as well as it did. Despite buying the full digital collection, I wanted and still want the toys so bad, but I’m just afraid they’ll take up space after awhile.
I do hope there has been enough support to see a sequel or successor in the future, even without the toys.
I've gotten 2nd quite a few times, but never 1st. You can BS your way to second as other people fight it out. But once there, I have to actually KO someone who is good.
I'd love some DLC for Mario Kart. I love the feel of 8 compared to previous ones, so I don't feel any need for a sequel but some more tracks as DLC would be quite appreciated.
Out of all the games that have a bunch of free and paid DLC I thought this would make the most sense. It's also what I would want DLC for the most since I feel we're lacking in some interesting boards this time around.
I'm kind of disappointed by the fact each character's story is so separate. The lack of progression towards an ultimate conclusion is unfortunate, but my main disappointment is that to me it defeats the purpose of having 8 fully fleshed out characters if they never interact in a meaningful way and develop off of each other. Having the characters join together in a party despite not interacting only highlights the shallowness of their connection, making it feel like a pure gameplay companionship and not a narrative one.
Perhaps this is a petty complaint, but the idea of 8 characters coming together was the most appealing idea of this sort of game to me and I sadly don't think I could get into it without that.
I'm sad to say this kind of diffuses my interest in the game. The idea of 8 distinct characters and storylines coming together
and intertwining was a tantalizing thought to me, but when I recruited my second party member in the demo with only a text box for interaction it seems like recruiting the other characters will only be an RPG feature rather than a story feature. I just don't understand the point of having the characters come together if the interactions will be that superficial.
@westman98 I can't believe that was such a talked about event as we got nothing but a title. No gameplay, no cutscene, not even a subtitle. Just "The Elder Scrolls IV".
I have really loved these games, but am just a tad disheartened to heart this one will be taking a drop in difficulty. I was never quite able to beat the final boss of the second game but I'm still determined, and love the difficulty and stress the game has.
This game is my favorite Zelda game. It's one that has many flaws but also many nuggets of pure genius not seen elsewhere in gaming. If there was someone who understood that genius and could preserve it as they ironed out the flaws, I would be all for it.
The 3DS has been my favorite console I have ever owned, and so I don't mind if it sticks around awhile longer. The Switch needs to be the main focus now, but I appreciate giving a little support to my favorite console.
I'm also one of the select few who LOVES the 3D effect.
I think there is still a lot to explore in this new form of Zelda; there are a lot of design elements in BotW that suffer from being too open, and a sequel to BotW could have an opportunity to pull some of the openness back so that there are more linear, tightly polished sections within a vast open world.
As great as Breath of the Wild is, and it is great, it didn't need to have EVERYTHING super open ended for open endedness's sake. The most glaring example for me were the dungeons. Did I really need to be able to solve the pieces of a dungeon in any order I choose? I just think it made the dungeon puzzles more disjointed.
Even the first game wasn't this open; while you didn't have to do the dungeons in order, there was still an order, allowing for a difficulty progression (even if they didn't exactly nail it). Breath of the Wild just got easier as I went through the game since I got stronger much faster than the world did, and I feel pulling the openness back a bit would help that.
HYPE! I definitely will buy the original trilogy just so my siblings can play them. I have 4, 5, 6, but I'm still considering it since I don't want to pass my 3DS around.
I LOVED this game on 3DS! I was already tempted to buy it again just to have it on switch and so my siblings can play it, but multiplayer too?! Now I really am unsure I can resist.
Well, I defiantly can't wait for the Switch version to come around, but if they go through with it afterwards I will rebuy the whole series again to have it all on Switch. That would be amazing.
No... please don't let this be the Switch Fire Emblem. Echoes being so great filled me with a lot of hope they could take from Echoes to improve on a lot of Fates flaw.
How would it compare to Battle Tanx (N64)? I loved that game as a kid and whenever I hear of another tank-based-game I always am hoping for a similar experience.
Fahrenheit is the correct way to measure temperature when speaking in regards to human tolerance; the extremes of which are 0 and 100 on the Fahrenheit scale.
Celsius is the correct way to measure temperature in regards to water. Freezing and boiling, I get it.
Kelvin's good for everything else. 0 is literally no heat, it makes the most sense.
I really haven't thought that $300 is too high at all; it's actually a bit cheaper than I expected. I will say that the accessories threw me for a loop. $80 for a controller, or a dock? Maybe it's fair, but it just felt a bit much.
Looks like my kind of game, which is good since there's nothing other than Zelda for me at launch. Maybe this and other close to launch eShop game will convince me not to buy Zelda and Wii U and just pick up the Switch later.
I was, and still am, eager to play Zelda on the Switch, but it's the only game for a while that catches my interest, and the others are mere ports.
I really don't understand Skyrim's delay. It's a fairly old game that's already received the port treatment, why would Bethesda be dragging their feet on this one?
While in a way I get the lack of backwards compatibility, the best thing about it is that it softens the blow of weak launch line ups.
If anything, I have a bit of a calm nervousness. I am enjoying the era of the 3DS and Wii U enough that I feel no rush for the NX to come out, so I've kind of likes the information blackout. Now that the time is approaching I am actually feeling a little nervous to finally know what it will be, in an excited kind of way.
The idea sounds pretty cool, thought the graphics look so rough that I'm inclined to believe it's just been thrown together with no thought. Hope to be proven wrong though.
The name of Type: Null made me think, and subsequently saddened upon the realization of the thought's impossibility, that it would be ??? type. But no, that type's gone for good.
