If only BotW was available with consoles in a bundle at launch. It felt a bit empty without a game considering it was just the system. Good to see they're changing it though!
If Playstation is truly the best, then why not let them do crossplay? It's not like crossplaying with other systems will downgrade their version of Fortnite, right?
@Rontanamo_Bay Exactly what I thought! I've listened to a lot of the music and it's really good. I'm really surprised by the fact there's an actual sheet music booklet. Not a lot of game companies do that! I know he's a freelance game developer, but this is a huge unexplored area that companies could profit off of.
Online gaming just needs to be fixed with anti-cheat. I find little incentive to play a game where people could be cheating and winning against me. Mariokart 8 on the Wii U has already fallen to this and hackers are everywhere and now I can't play one of my favorite games on the Wii U in Online. ;(
I can see both sides of this argument but I will only look at the facts. People are cheating in game and this makes other people unhappy due to losing for unfair reasons. The real question: Is Nintendo here to make people happy, or make money before making its customers satisfied?
@Peterjr1 Personally the fact that Fire Emblem seems to concentrate on more "waifus" rather than actual concrete characters is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I can't take it seriously sometimes.
@Shade_Koopa I beg to differ. They can dodge roll. And it may seem like lowered attack speed but it's really not when they have more range than a splattershot pro. Maybe I'm just really bad at the game, but those and N-Zaps are the bane of my existence. And blasters. But I don't want to get into arguments about weapons in an adding more content to Splatoon 2. The point being, please no pay to win weapons.
Like what? More gear? More weapons? Duelie Squelchers are over-powered anyways. (Before people disagree me, the fact that they have more range than a splattershot and are basically the equivalent of the splattershot pro in terms of range but with rapid fire makes it too powerful) Singleplayer makes sense for paid because that's a whole new experience, but new gear? Weapons? That's just more of the same.
Going to get destroyed in Splatoon as either my team doesn't know what they're doing or I'm just really bad. And fight against people who have all perfect gear.
@Cobalt I feel ya. I feel the exact same way. Which is why I only have 5 games on my switch, none of which are ports. Well, except for Breath of the Wild
@Anti-Matter Ah, not exactly what I meant. If you want to introduce kids from shooters to Nintendo games, Splatoon can be a very nice introduction considering the genre is very similar.
@Bunkerneath 100% correct in my opinion. Kid nowadays go on their phones at the first sign of not having anything to do at all. Whatever happened to books? Or interacting with other people? Phones have become the default and I see people all the time on their phones, even when their friends are right next to them. And this is ok if you're looking something up, but if you're watching a movie with some friends and people are on their phones?
It all depends on how much free time really. Sometimes I am actually quite busy and others not so much. Although it is true that video games could suck people in, this is generally because a lot of people have a lack of strong self will and can't make themselves stop. But video games are not bad, I've met many a friend over my love of games and it's not something to be scoffed at. Video games can change lives for the better
