I finished botw on the switch but it wasn't that enjoyable imo. The performance was a huge part of that. Totk was so inconsistent in my experienced that I stopped playing it. Now on switch 2 I can finally see why they are praised as much as they are. This are definitely the way these games are meant to be played.
Not inly does it cost soemthing on the switch but the "DLC" is even more expensive than the base game. Well done TPC. Your pricing is insane. Oh and the game.itself looks.like shovelware too so nice bonus
@Nightcrawler71 If you have a big Switch 1 Backlog you may wanna add those to the List too. If you dont wanna play switch 1 games on Switch 2 then I'd say it depends on how excited you are for MKW and DKB.
Edit: oh and your personal Budget ist important aswell.....
Games are both imo. Some games like Okami are absolutely works of Art for example. But they are first and foremost (for the most part) entertainment Products.
Remember concord? How long did that game last? Oh and what about all those pvp only games like brink for example? You can still make those. Also the point is that online games need to be playable after sunsetting. So lets say a LAN mode or AI opponents or maybe private server compatability you know. I came up with these 3 solutions in less than a minute. But game companies dont just want money. They want ALL the money forever. If the product no longer sells then we arent allowed to enjoy it apparently. This industry is starting to make me sicker by the minute. Thank you greedy corporations for ruining one of my favorite hobbies...
@Oldstalk the poor execs wont get their bonus because of this tiny studio. Especially after buying activision blizzard and doing pretty much nothing of note with it. So shed a tear for the poor poor bigwigs. Ok sarcasm off, I can't keep this up, my stomach is saying hello🤢
The more choices we have the better. So even if I don't have a personal interest in this, I say bring it on. Helldivers 2 for switch!... something something democracy and liberty (idk thats all I know about this game)
@Michael0916 I'm not a retailer nor do I work in retail. I just find this obsession with sales charts these days kinda weird. Also I am fully digital on PC since god knows how long.....so yeah.....it was more a shower thought than anything 😊
We need review bombers to review bomb the review bombers. And then we need review bombers for those review mombers that review bomb the review bombers. And then my masterplan wil have succeeded and I, Dr. Downvote will have world domination at last. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA MUAHAHAHAHA coughcoughwheezecough
@Michael0916 I could be wrong but I think Digital sales are practically never accounted for in these charts. They are more meant as a way for retailer to gauge how many units are sold for which console. They dont tell much about whether the games sell well or not. They can be an indicator but until the publishers themselves are talking numbers these charts are pretty much kinda useless imo.
@sethfranum I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. The unprofessional statements came from Dbrand... I think Dbramd is an unserious und childish company that is all. Also I already agreed with you that Death threats are never ok. Idk what you want from me therefore I will no longer respond. Good day
@sethfranum death threats are never an acceptable answer! But then again I never saw anyone trmhreating them. They only say so in their statement which in itself was once again unprofessional. With that I wish you a good day
@sethfranum Do you think insulting your prospective customers is a good Idea? Noted. The way you say things is just as important as what you are saying. I'll leave it at that
I've received 1 week after launch and what can I say? I'm satisfied. Could it be better? Sure (which console couldn't be better?) Is it better than launch switch 1? 100% Am I regretting my purchase? Nope. Should we be able to replace the Battery with a bigger one? Absolutely. Hotel? Trivago
They way they reacted to the criticism and the way they worded their apology, made sure I won't even consider them. Dropping an excessive amount of F-bombs makes you seem less than serious about your business. I'm all for less PR speak, but even if you go the less informal route, you have to treat your customers with respect. Swearing like a sailor makes you seem childish and immature. Just my 2 cents.
AI upscaling would've been fine Imo. But this....this is just....no. Nope. Was considerignnit but this is so blatant that I will not support it. Not when there are so many willing talents out there. You can use generetive AI for ideas or examples imo. But then you get an Artist to create a final Artwork....
Reminder about game patents. Remember shadow of Mordor and shadow of war? The really cool nemesis system? Yep patented by Warner bros so nobody else is allowed to do it. That is all have a nice day😊
@BlaizeV I can kinda see that, but if this is just a spinoff and the open world is the main focus, then why. Why, is the map so barren and feels so tacked on? Why is the ungame map so useless? Why cant I track stuff ingame and is tead need to use 3rd party websites? Why is the minimap so zoomed in and I cant change its zoom level? There are soooooo many weird and flatout baffling or terrible design choices that it makes me wo der if the team that made this game were 1st year interns (ok not THAT bad but you get what I mean).
@Mr_Zurkon yeah free roam feels tacked on. It looks great dont get me wro g but how you unlock the costumes and all that is just so....obtuse?.....padded out?.....unfinished? Idk. It just feels liek an after thought. The game itself is great but like Mario tennis or golf at launch there are just so many baffling design decisions.....
In my Opinion. If you're not gonna tellwhat the issues where, then why even do patch notes? For all the crap I give to ubisoft, but their patchnotes are fantastic. Listing the issues and even if they dont have a fix they thell you what solutions are planned. Nintendos patchnotes are practically useless..... But that's just my 2 cents. Atleast their games are fun (which is all that matters)
Well done insect. You have crippled one of my prductions facilities. However since you were wasting you fruitless live crippling an insignificant part of my plans. I have alrwady started severeal other production facilities. So thank you insect. I will reserve a special place amongst my servants for you -Shodan (probably, idk I havent played system shock yet but will do so on pc)
It looms a bit blurry handheld imo. It's not gamebreaking. Performance is fine 30 at worst but mostly sitting a bit higher. HDR in Handheld is rubbish. Turn it off and enjoy incredible color work. Game is well suited to Handheld play since the missions arent overly long. Oh and the screenshots in this article seem a tad bit too dim/dark.
Weren't kit and krysta marketing people? That have left/ been let go years ago? This whole article feels incredibly misleading and clickbaity. Like why are these two still relevant? Idk. But hey I'm here so I guess it worked......
Nah, I have no use for it as I play mostly local coop on switch 2. If I play online with friends it's on pc via discord. That being said its good to see nintendo joining the modern times..... kinda
@flighty I hope this is the case. Ofc rmeasters of prime 2 and 3 would be incredible but atleast ports or maybe nso gamecube releases shiuld be a no brainer. But then again we're talking about nintendo who seem to be allergic to money. Cough twilight princess port on switch cough
@Tayrailbridge Hard disagree. There where too many moons iirc there were 900 but many of them were just out in the open or you needed to ground pound specific spots which were also easy to get. Also soooo many challenges were just repeated ad nauseum. Quality over quantity, that should be the the guiding thought. Watch joseph amderson vid abot odyssey. He breaks it down way better than I could in a comment. (Or dont idc, but not everyone sees odyssey as this flawless masterpiece)
DK new design has grown on me and the direct has me actually looking forward to it. I just hope they dont overdo it with the bananas loke they did the moons in Odyssey.
