@larryisaman Oh, I'm aware it's not the hardware's fault. GF didn't optimize the game well at all. But we all know GF can just make a sub-par Pokemon game and it will sell like hotcakes. Hence, why I'm wishing luck the Switch 2 will be enough to RUN the future Pokemon game.
While true, here's to wish luck that the next Pokemon games have better performance. We know the Switch 2 will have upgraded hardware. Shouldn't be hard to get stable performance when the time comes.
Eh, Digital media for me. Physical media has too many pitfalls. They are easy to loose, easily damageable, not very portable, and takes up valuable physical storage place.
Digital media is easier to handle, usually cheaper, portable, and not very easy to loose. Digital only era will come. Maybe not next gen, but it'll come. It's only a matter of time. ^^
@Heartless666 No, not at all. I'm saying that it's a stupid excuse to sensor a videogame. Let people see what they want to see. They are going to see it one way or the other. There is not point in censoring it.
I hate censorship in video games. What parent complained about this? It's a made up Character in a video game. Does it matter what a gamer is looking at it? You see worst on porn sites.
@Corvus96 I don't believe I ever said they were friends. All I'm saying it's going to happen. Hell, it's already happening. PC is all digital, console WILL follow suit. It's just a matter of time.
People say they won't support company, but that only last for so long. Especially in the gaming industry where greed is king. Both for the corporations and for the gamers.
Feel free to screw them. There is never enough people screwing the corporations to matter.
Already an advocate for Digital games. Don't have to worry about losing them via pets or my younger siblings. Save me on space and storage when I have to travel.
Whether we like it or not, Physical media is slowly on it's way out. It happen to PC gaming, it will happen for console gaming. There is no avoiding it.
@Corvus96 PC gaming already does digital only and hardly anyone complains about it. Once console goes digital, we'll have some big complains for a few months, then everyone will get used to it.
Like or it not, it's gonna happen. There's nothing we can do about. Makes me wonder why complain about it in the first place. If you can't beat em, join em. Simple as that.
@Corvus96 Most gamers have short attentions spans. Once they beat a game, they rarely go back. So the fact that games won't be "owned" anymore is irrelevant.
Sides, digital only era is upon us. It will happen whether we like it or not.
@Markiemania95 heha! Woops! I reversed it! My bad!
Still, doesn't change the fact that digital only consoles will be a thing. A lot sooner then people would like to believe. It happened to PC, it will have to consoles.
@Markiemania95 Towards the end of it's life span. They released a Red Nintendo Wii without a disk reader or GameCube backwards compatibility. I think it may have been a mini version but not quite sure.
Sad but expected. Nothing last forever. 3DS was a very fun handheld but it's time to move on. Focus on the Switch (and the possible Switch Revision/2/Pro).
@IceEarthGuard It will happen in the next gen or so. Xbox and Sony already have Digital only version of their current consoles. Even Nintendo did one with their Nintendo Wii. As I said, it's coming a LOT sooner then you WANT to believe.
Doesn't surprise in the slightest. Haven't heard much from them in years. Let E3 die so we can all finally move on. Something else can take it's place.
I hate open world. It's confusing with no sense of direction. Yes, it works well for a sandbox game, but I prefer to have a linear path. Makes it easy to understand and play. Plus, makes story telling MUCH easier. ^^
Review is fair. Hard to ignore the performance issues. Story isn't anything too special but still nice to have. Overall, I'm enjoying the game. It's nice to play a monster collecting game that isn't pokemon.
Performance can always be optimized better via a patch or two. Not a deal breaker.
@dew12333 That doesn't bother me. Digital or cloud, I'm all for it. As the oldest of 5, I HATE dealing with the downsides of physical media.
@Anti-Matter Heha, keep dreaming. The gaming companies will do whatever it takes to save money. Not having to print out physical cartridges or disk will save them a ton. Simple facts.
@Ultimapunch All irrelevant. Digital only media IS coming whether you like it or not. Cheaper on companies and easier to manage by consumers as given by this article.
As for online stores shutting down, that business. We humans end up moving on to the next thing anyway. We don't have the attention span to even remember the old games. Humans are just THAT stupid.
Seeing as everything is on a streaming app these days, yes. Love using my Funimation, YouTube, and Hulu app. Wouldn't mind seeing a Paramount or HBC Max app.

@Frailbay30 Exactly. Couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you for understanding my point. ^^
Re: Talking Point: Do You Want To See Colourful Cartridges Return For 'Switch 2'?
While cool, having colored physical media isn't needed. Digital only era is on the horizon. No need for such an old school format.

Re: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Now Reportedly Has An "Actual Cartridge" Release
@Ogre84 Agreed. They are just wasting time, money, and effort on making physical releases at this point. Much cheaper to go pure digital.
Sides, the "collectors" only care about the box art anyways.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Go Another Year Without A Switch Successor?
No need to rush. The Switch console is still strong. It's the games that matter.
Re: New 3DS And Wii U Users Can No Longer Go Online In Games

Re: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Update Announced For Switch
No crashes or any game breaking bugs I've noticed. Some choppy frames but that's about it. Nothing that stops me from playing the game.
But nice to see the game getting some patches on the way. Looking forward to seeing if this game will get any more DLC. Heha, would love it. ^^

Re: Square Enix Asks Fans To Consider Dragon Quest Monsters eShop Version After Physical Release Sells Out
Damn, for a game that many gamers are writing off, it's sure seems to sell well. Kudos!
And Kudo to the push towards digital sales! ^^
Re: Square Enix Asks Dragon Quest Fans To Refrain From Posting 'Dark Prince' End Game Spoilers
@rotekps_aniger It can also have the opposite affect. If a play knows how the game ends, why play it at all?
Humans are stupid with short attention spans. They'll go back to playing updating competitive multiplayer game that is popular to play at the time.

Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Is In
This is famitsu. Doesn't surprise me they rate this game rather highly.
That being said, I enjoyed the demo. Currently playing the game now. If anything, the game is worth a solid 7/10.

Sounds right. Physical media is outdated for the more modern digital media. Let physical media die out so we can move on.
Re: Talking Point: If 'Switch 2' Is Backwards Compatible, What Will You Do With Your Switch?
Keep the console for awhile then sell it afterwards. Same with the docks if they don't work for the rumored "Switch 2."
Re: Digital Foundry Digs Into The Nvidia Chip Rumoured To Power 'Switch 2'
Nintendo has always target performance over graphics. I don't expect to see 4k resolution. Nor does it need it.
1080p 60fps is more then enough for a Nintendo console.
Re: Newly Discovered Nintendo Filing Shows Off "Dual-Screen, Detachable Device"
