Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong And Hollow Knight Switch 2 Physical Editions Announced, Pre-Orders Live

SilentHunter382

I was interested in buying both of them but the problem is that they won't let me pre-order both in the same order and since postage is €7 for each order I was already ehhh on getting both on one order but having to do 2 separate orders for additional €7 that killed it for me.

EDIT: Hmmm they must have updated it since then to allow you to preorder both in the same order.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Playing Final Fantasy XIV Online On Switch 2?

@Pak-Man Ya it does take time and that is the major problem with the game. As more expansions get added the earlier part of the game suffers more as they are trying to avoid burn out and alot of jobs rotation changes completely as you level.

They need to really work on the early game for new players and focus more on having I say about 80% of your rotation when you reach 50 and anything after that just is added.

Re: Review: Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - A Solid Port With Plenty Of Extra Content, And Bugs

@tourjeff Overall the lore part is minimal and there are small references to the older games but nothing that will impact the story. The only downside is that if you play the older games (3 and New Vegas) you will feel the clunklyness of them compared to 4.

If you want a shooter with light rpg elements then 4 is the best of the 3 but if you are looking for an RPG game with shooter elements then 4 is the weakest of the 3.

While I like both and do prefer the full art of the JP one but the US/EU one tells you what the game is about on the front cover without having to turn the case around.

very 50/50 for me but I would say the JP one for me. I originally voted for the US/EU because of what I said above but once you know what type of game it is then the JP one shines out more.

Look I am fine with them locking the system to the most expensive version. I would also be fine if you have to get the peripheral to take advantage of the VB gimmick.

But locking it so you have to have either of the peripherals to play them is a bad idea. Since the system was a flop and only had less then 20 games. If the system was a success and had released over 100 games. It would still be a bad idea to do this but atleast there would be some justification to get the peripheral on a very thin line.

Nintendo should really just really modify the games (or emulator) so that they are playable in 2D and have the peripheral to play it in 3D

Re: Review: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Switch 2) - A Welcome Reminder Of The Series' Glory Days

SilentHunter382

I was really looking forward to this collection because of THPS4 as that is when I started the series. I never played 1 - 3 so I don't have any preference to those titles.

My plan was to play 4 again and then play 3 to see what the 2 minute timer gameplay is like an if I did like it I would have picked up 1+2 also.

But now that 4 isn't 4 anymore I don't see myself pick this game up unless some modders come along and revert the changes back on PC to how they were on the PS2 when I played it is when I might pick it up when it is heavily discounted.

Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'

SilentHunter382

@sethfranum Sure the EULA states that but if this goes into effect then this will override what the EULA says.

@Ryu_Niiyama With anthems case it won't be effected. The reasons for that this petition is not expecting companies to retroactively these end of life plans to games. It will be for games going forward if this does go into effect and even then I would expect that if it does pass that they would have a clause that any game released after X date (maybe 2 years gase preiod) must have end of life plans included in their games. That way games that are in active development will have time to implement these.

Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'

SilentHunter382

@Oldstalk The lobby group missed the point on that. The Petition is not asking for games to run indefinitely by the game companies.

It is asking game companies to add an end of life plan to games when they want to stop supporting the game so that the paying customers can add the ability to have private servers to the game so the game can live on through the players rather then the company.

Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'

SilentHunter382

@sethfranum The games don't have to be always online. What the Petition is saying is for those Online only games to have an end of life plan in place so that when they game companies don't want to support then they need to implement a system that gives players the ability to play it offline or give them the ability for players to create private servers for the game. That way the game can live on.

If they do that then it is up to players if they want to continue to give the life to the game with those private servers or not. If this goes into effect and game companies do these implementations then they are in the clear.

Some games have done this already. One example is "The Avengers" game. They added P2P support to the game and made the game offline instead of online only and gave all the microtransations skins out to players for free (this is optional with the skins and companies don't have to do this). This is the perfect example of what the Petition wants companies to do.

Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy Devs Supposedly Hint At Another Nintendo Release

SilentHunter382

@nin10doom Yep. While I don't have the switch 2 yet and I already have Cyberpunk on PC (and to some extent steam deck). I may pick it up also just to have it physical as well as Mario Kart world. The zelda titles are expection as I have those physical already on the switch one and getting the switch 2 update is a bit different then having to rebuy them physical with the switch 2 version.

Re: Forget Switch 2 Game Key-Cards - "Full On-The-Cart Physical Releases" Are What People Want, Says Publisher Lost In Cult

SilentHunter382

@Yosher Spot on. This is why I hate them. Yes codes in the box were bad (and I really hated them also) at the very least they were a digital product.

These are also worse then the card having only part of the game on the cart and you have to download the rest. Atleast with those there is some data on the cart to save you space unlike these.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A's Switch 2 And Switch 1 Prices Have Been Revealed

SilentHunter382

@Yokaisou For me I will have to go for the Switch version then buy the upgrade later. Reason is that the only shop that sells games near me is selling Legends for €60.

Now they don't have the switch 2 version up but knowing them they will be selling it for €80 as that is what they are selling all the other switch 2 games that have the switch 1 cartridge with the upgrade code. The upgrade code shouldn't cost €20 and even if they do I will still have a cleaner looking box cover compared to the switch 2 one.
