Re: Soapbox: Fortnite On Switch Is Five Years Old, And I Have No Idea What It Is Anymore

I played a bit around season 2, couldn't get into it (found it dreadfully boring). Then my daughter expressed interest with season 3, so I jumped back in, set up the battle pass for both of us, we played for a few months before she lost interest in which I canceled the passes and haven't looked back. The game itself is ok, but like most fremium games it's mainly just a cash grab.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series Launches On Switch Later This Month

The only one of these I was ever interested in was 3 and that was only because it was the first time it got a proper 2D remake. However with the experience multiplier I might be worth it to also check out 2 so it won't be as much of a slog. However that pricing hurts a lot. Even for the 2 games you're looking at $30 ($11.99 for 2 and $17.99 for 3) so you might as well drop the $79.99 for the bundle. Honestly that pricing doesn't justify the bundle when outside of the graphics and sound being updated, it's a really bare bones package that lacks so much of the added content in previous ports. $30 - $40 is reasonable for this collection, but Squarenix knows that people will drop $80 for the whole set at launch. I'll probably wait until it goes on sale in a few months, since more than likely it will.

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection Launches On Switch Spring 2023

Scposteel

Considering that these remasters don't add anything of note outside of updated graphics and sound, there really isn't anything worth noting here, especially since there are other editions out there that aren't this bare bones. I get these are just the pixel remasters, but the bonus content added to 1 & 2 in previous editions, IV the After years, and even some of the added job classes to V would have been more than welcomed. I can't justify the price for a bare bones collection. The only one I'll probably grab is 3 simply because this is the only way to play it in classic 2D that isn't pirated.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?

I have a few that come to mind, the first being Rambo on the NES. Gameplay is standard, the animations for the cutscenes are cringe worthy, but damn it if it doesn't have a great great score at points, and I always had a good time with it.

The second is Battle Arena Toshinden for PSX. For a fighting game the characters aren't the most memorable, had your typical tropes, graphically has aged badly, but it had a killer score, and it was the game that won me over on the PlayStation.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Three More Titles

Scposteel

So a batch of games that no one asked for, and they probably licensed on the cheap. It's cool that they keep adding to the service but if they want to keep people interested they have drop games people actually care about, and if that means forking over the money to do so, than so be it. This crop of games is as generic as it gets, and all it does is drive people away from the service.
