I am really looking forward to the game as it is my hyped game this year so far.

I do hope it comes to europe. Even though I have everything that I wanted from the list above.

From what games that I have played and seen the only game that has done the season pass model correctly is "The Master Chief Collection". Every time you rank up you earn a token.

Then you can use that token on any of the season pass that have been released. Each season pass has a tier which contain 10 items and you can pick any item you want in that tier but you can only progress to the next tier until you got all the items in that tier.

Sure it isn't perfect but you gain experience by doing anything in the game either story or multiplayer and there are new challenges each week for both.

To me this is how you do a battle pass in a fully priced game. Oh and the battles passes are free in the game.

The issue I have with my switch is that handheld mode with joy-cons attached is unplayable as they disconnect. Not both at the same time but one would disconnect wile the other wouldn't. This happens with both joy-cons.

@patbacknitro18 I thought he said that because any time konami sells Pyramid merch he doesn't recieve any money.

@Snatcher Valve has made the system super easy to replace the parts with the teardown videos they have shown. The only part that is difficult to replace is the battery as it is glued to the system.

Now it is an issue that they are drifting so fast. The good thing is that valve has made it easy to replace the part but I would have expected the drifting issues to appear a few months down the line not in a few days.

I am still looking forward when I get mine (after 2Q but pre-ordered it around 2 weeks when they opened).

While I say it isn't too soon for a new generation as the average span between generations is 3-4 years and gen 8 was released in 2019 but I would have liked it if they waited till next year for a new generation just because we had the dp remakes last year
in November and legends in January.

I will be picking Sprigatito as I have always gone with the grass starters.

I don't have either so it tempting to get the bundle but I hope they do release it here in Ireland.

I have no problem with the subscription service but only alongside a purchase model.

Yes I understand that this is becoming the new norm as other companies are doing the sub model but here is the thing. They also offer the ability to allow you to purchase the game also. I think the only exception is Sony with PS3 games with their PSNow.

What they could do is they want people to be on the sub model but allow people to purchase the game is to allow a cool off period where it is only available on NSO for "X" amount of time before it becomes available to purchase.

This reminds me to pick up some GBA games from the Wii U shop before they disappear so I own them legally. I was going to get Sin And Punishment 2 a few months ago but was lucky to find a complete physical copy for €10 more.

While adding things is always good they do need to speed up the rate they are being released. Yes adding new DLC to the service is a big plus but they do need to add more to the N64 and Mega drive (Even more systems also). Also adding games on a Month to Month bases like what the other system do but I am not expecting the same amount they offer. 1 game a month would be fine (either Triple A or Indie) considering the systems Nintendo have for their Online. Allow us to keep the game as long as you have the sub but lose access to it when your sub runs out (but regain it again when you resub).

I can see them phasing out the cheaper plan and just go all in with the expansion pass also with their next system. When that times comes then they need to add at all the quality of life features that the other systems have and not through your phone.

Now I am not against having the phone app as a social hub for Nintendo games and using your phone to chat faster in animal crossing is a great way of using the systems as an extension

It still doesn't get me to buy the expansion pass but I would it is a step in the right direction for me to buy it.

I still hate the logo. While I understand a clean and simple design is now the way to go forward but you lose your identity and I now I won't be able to know if it is a Bandai Namco game right away.

TBH with the few hours I have had with the game (Been playing it in docked mode) the graphics aren't as bad as I thought they would be. Sure there is jank but it isn't that bad.

My issue is with the frame rate. I know that this can be fixed in Portable mode but I play my switch 99% of the time docked anyway.

But with the changes they have done with the game I am fine with the graphics as this is a great step as a sideline game. This is how I wanted an open-world (even though it is really more closed off open world) and I hope they expand on this but I would still like the main line games to play the same way (as in random encounters and gyms).

What? How long have you had your own shop. This is the first I have heard of it.

Anyway regarding the sale. I would love for Ultimate Alliance 3 Expansion Pass to go on sale (wishful thinking as it hasn't been on sale).

For some reason I am ok with it being a safe sequel. I have preordered the limited edition (I have a massive weakness when it comes to physical artbooks and cds) so I am looking forward to the game still.

The people who are saying that it will be a switch rival are just wishful thinking at this stage.

For me I main on PC and I am getting then Steam Deck but I am seeing it as an extension to play most of my PC games in a portable fashion. Not all games will run optimal and later down the line (a few years) the steam deck will suffer just like the switch.

My only concern is Valve's track record with hardware. They have released many hardwares overs the years but their support hasn't been the best. The steam machines are really a grey area as those were licensed out rather then Valve doing it themselfs. The Index is really their first hardware that they showed support for. If the steam deck sells really well then we might see a update in hardware for it in the future.

@UltimateOtaku91 There is going to be a dock sold for it but not sure if that will be sold at launch or later.

Can't wait for mine to arrive. I think I am in the second batch since mine is to dispatch in the second quarter.

@SuperZeldaFun I am not going to lie and say I not used that site or even abandonedware cause I have for many games (until they re-released the game again or add it to GOG for which I will buy them so that I own them legit) but I will only do this for games when there is no means for me to buy a game that will lead to the owners of said product to receive money.

Still how many ordinary people who aren't as tech savvy know about these sights and will try and look on more established sites like Youtube or Spotify to find the songs they are looking for.

@Dr_Lugae Oh don't get me wrong. I am not saying that uploading it to youtube is right but I would be far more incline to side with Nintendo if they themself uploaded their collection to Spotify or youtube. As it stands right now I am in the middle of the two.

@Faruko It is stated in the artical that they doesn't monetize the videos with the songs. If there were ads on the videos then it wouldn't have been them that would be receiving the money but youtube and the IP holder of said song would.

@SuperZeldaFun I understand how you feel but it is clear that people want to listen to the songs in the games they provide but Nintendo aren't offering a way for people to easily access them.

I am split in the middle as Nintendo needs to do this if they want to keep their rights to the Copyright.

BUT the problem is that Nintendo doesn't offer a way for people to easily access these songs/music. Same goes for their old games that they own the IP's too.

So if people want to access these by other means then I feel that they should be allowed too as Nintendo themself aren't going to bother too.

While I am somewhat fine with jank graphics as long as it has a solid framerate at all times. 60 fps is what I always want but I will take a 30 fps if it is solid.

I don't mind dips here and there but if it is unable to keep a solid 30 fps (minimum) and has jank graphics then that is a problem for me.

For the people who are still saying that Nintendo are still going to send a C&D. The only way for them to do that is if the code they are providing contains any code that belongs to Nintendo.

Back on the NES. Tengen reversed engineered the lockout chip and were able to sell games themself on the NES without having to go through Nintendo.

Now how they did was they illegal obtained the lockout chip code and reversed engineered that way. By doing it this way they had unused Nintendo code in their RE code so that is how Nintendo were able to get them in court.

If these guys are able to do this without using any shenanigans above and is 100% their code then there is nothing Nintendo co do about it. If Tengen RE the lockout chip themself and was 100% their code then Nintendo wouldn't be able to sue them.

@technotreegrass I think he was more referring that he can't be sued.

@Troll_Decimator I didn't mention anything about the story. I was talking about the people in the comment section regarding mods.

@RR529
I am certain they don't monetizes the DBZA videos (Though I am not sure about the 3D shorts) as they have a disclaimer at the beginning of each video that this is an non-profit (Even though they have a patreon but that is a grey area as they do other stuff that isn't DBZ related but you can argue they are profiting from it). If they have ads on the videos then it wouldn't have been TFS themself as TOEI could claim the videos but leave them up with ads on which the money from those ads would go to them.

I find it hilarious that the people saying that mods are illegal when some of the biggest games and franchises that have came out started off as mods.

I am someone who will always sacrifice graphics for performance as I rather my games to run at a solid 60 fps. But I am not too bother with them in games like SMT as they are turn based games. So while I rather have a solid fps it not that much of a deal breaker for games like these for me.

@AugustusOxy "That's nice, xenoverse 2 is like 5 years old and it's still getting dlc. At this rate the power rangers fighting game has had more DLC fighters added to it than smash has. Sakurai should be embarrassed."

There is a difference between the way Smash released their fighters compared to others. With others you might get maybe a handful of new stages with other fighting games while with smash you got a new stage for every fighter that got added.

Ok even though I am not getting the expansion until I feel there is enough games to justify the price. But adding 5 games is more then I expected. If they added 2 games a month for each system each month then they are heading in the right direction.

@UltimateOtaku91 Well yes and no. It flop hard because I say the tech was not there yet and only had a handful of noteworthy games but financial it was a success for microsoft.

The only thing from the list that I am interested in is no more heroes (and I assume 2 will be on sale also). I have the Wii versions but getting both at €10 each is a price I am good with. I will see what else is on sale when I get home tonight.

@Gamer_Zeus The problem with putting a price on the games is that it will very from person to person it value if it is worth €50 or not. Just saying that it has a value of €270 really means nothing to some who may only like 1 game from service.

I am on Humble bundle monthly and I don't look at what the games are valued at as I won't be playing all of the games I just see what the games I am interested in are worth the sub cost for that month. If there is only 1 game I am interested in but it cost lest then the sub price then I don't care if the whole package value is €120 for €15 a month if the game I am interested in I can get for €9.

@Gamer_Zeus While I understand why you think that but you really should compare them since they are close in price now.

When it was €20 for a year then you couldn't really compare them because of the big price difference.

With NSO expansion price there are now into the comparing zone. If you could only sub to 1 service if you own a switch and a ps4/5 or an xbox. Most people will pick the later as it offers far more features then what the switch offers. Like not needing an external device to take with people on the same console as you. Extra discount of games from time to time.

Now there is 1 benefit the switch has with them offering their games vs xbox live and ps+ is that you don't have that FOMA issue. It doesn't matter when you join NSO you have access to all game at launch while with the others you missed out on games that you could have gotten for free if you were subbed at the time.

The reason you have to compare them is to see what is offering better value. Same goes for video streaming services. You have to compare them to see which one is offering the better value as many can't sub to all of them.

They need to add more. The way I see it is that with the price of the expansion now they need to atleast off 1 game to each system. Now I can understand the Mega Drive may miss some months as it isn't their system But for the others it is a must.

What they should do is get the third party ones in first when they can secure the license for it to be on their. If they are unable to get a third party game for the system then they can fall back to one of their first party games.

@themightyant Well I can understand why you think that with the term unplayable. I think a better term might be unenjoyable. But put it in a sentence like " The game can become unenjoyable with the inconsistent frame drops"

For me when a game requires fast movement, aiming or platform jumping then those games need to have a stable 60fps option at the cost of graphics.

When it is a menu based game like a turn based game then I am not so picky on the frame rate but that depends on the type of turnbased though. If it Final Fantasy games then it needs to be atleast a stable 30fps with the exception of 1-3 and 10 where I don't mind it as much as you can take your time with your actions.

TBH I have no problem with the this game having MC but only if they released this game as a standalone game also and not be only included with the other 3 games.

I have play the 3 games (plus UDG) and they are fantastic games (UDG was meh) on the vita and I would still recommend the game if you love visual novels games

The castlevania games are fantastic. I hope that they do a DS collection at some point. Sure it might need some reworking but I would buy them as they are stupidly priced on the second hand market.

I would have gotten it for PC but with the Epic Store exclusive deal I didn't bother to get it. Going to wait till the game gets released on steam but that depends on what else is releasing at the time.

I will wait and see if his voice for Mario will be good. Though since he is an energetic person and Mario has the voice of one he may be good.

Garfield on the other hand is way more of a stranger casting choice then his Mario one given Garfield's personality.

It is going to need alot more fixes before I even consider getting the switch version (which is the only version of this "definitive edition" I will get.)

@Curator While there are better games then Sun and Moon the problem is that they came out less then a year later. There wasn't a massive amount of changes done to the game and the retold story is worst then S/M in some aspects. I think the major problems with those games was that they were enhanced versions but were sold as 2 games rather then 1 like all other enhanced versions.

@somnambulance I main problem with the Let's Go series is the way they made you catch pokemon. If you love that idea then that is fantastic and I am glad that you were able to enjoy the series where I wasn't able too.

@JayJ I never understood until a friend of mine who made a good point. He keeps one version as his main game and to catch all the pokemon. Then uses the other version to replay the story without having to do it on his main version.

@johnvboy Just on the side of patching a game it can be a double edge sword. Yes it is a good thing that devs can easily patch out bugs or add real dlc to extend a game but it can also allow for lazy development and have the attitude of "eh we can just released it now and patch it in a month". But it is far more of a pro then a con even though the con has been showing up alot more lately with big AAA games.
