@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.
Im gonna get yakuza and FAST soon-ish. But right now I'm saving up for DK bananza. On the bigger picture side of things I'm saving up for a new car since my current one will soon need a new clutch and a few other things. Since the car is quite old its not worth it to fix so yeah.... but now I'm rambling. I wonder how they track key cards in all of this?🤔
If I do have sceatches, they are so light, that I dont notice them at all. I am however very careful. My launch switch has one noticable hick in the bezel area. Otherwise you could mistaken it for lightly used. I tend to be as cerful as can be with my stuff. Except smartphones which seem to leap out of my hands at any given moment.
Yay release now fix later 🥳. Should've added pal versions from the beginning. As for the switch 2 port I give em a break because apparently nobody got dev kits this time around (which if true is a big L on Nintendos part)
Ah yes because eveyone uses pokemon home a paid service..... what kinda response is that, if nintendo says all files will be transferred then I expect all files to be transferred... especially if there is no error message as claimed here. Then again how did his gba save files end up on switch without pokemon home? Something doesn't add up....
@Arawn93 yeah my psp Battery bloated after years of use and then after years of non use. I just noticed ot one day as I was movi g stuff that the battery cover came.off and the Battery was swollen. Nothing else happened and if I really needed I could get a replacement or perhaps play it while plugged in
Battery swelling has nothing to do with the device and wether it'll get a revision or not. These types of Battery can swell due to internal problems which can happen at any point in a charge cycle. From the outside you wouldn't see anything unusual until the fault happens. Fun fact: Your smartphone can do the same thing at any given moment. Now let's stop the fwarmongering and get back to more pressing matters: My Tea this morning was slightliy less hot than yesterday!
Ive been playing daily on various games, mostly BOTW(upgraded), no mans sky(upgraded) and Mario Kart World. From full charge down to around 5 to 10 percent. Then let it charge and then played down again. Not only does it seem that the Battery life has improved itself (could be placebo, I dont pay attentuon to the time as much). But ive never seen this error/warning popping up. Very interesting.
I think so far its an 8. But with DLC it can go way higher. Just imagine more courses both old and new similar to what mario kart 8 got. In general I find it hard to compare the two since 8 has had fantastic post launch support.
Haven't set my switch 2 up for gamechat and honestly not sure I will. Not becuase the feature is bad but I play mostly split screen coop with friends and if we do play online its via discord..... but hey having more features means more choice and that is a very good thing
I sit firmly in the camp of: the more choices the better. Now that the switch 2 isn't as woefully underpowered as the switch 1 was in comparison. This means more choices on more platforms. In my book thats a good thing. Now we just need to stip with the release broken games then fix later mentality and all will be good.
