I wish I could get into system shock but I just can't. I get past the intro and then get lost immediately and then die. Early on an alarm goes of because of pressure or something and I cannot deal with time sensitive spikes like these when I have no layout of the map. So I just get lost, run in circles and then die. Everything looks the same. I get its a classic but having never played the originals and now coming back it just is so unclear where to go and what to do. It just confuses me. Interestingly enough no issues liem.that with bioshock or prey so.... it a me problem but not one I can do much about. Other than playing with a walkthrough at which point I might just watch a lets play. Glad about the physical for those that want it. Hopefully LGR delivers (heard many bad stories about them)
Unreal Engine 5 is the culprit. I have a pretty beefy pc but every game running on UE5 struggles. Whether its performance or glitches galore. Everyone hopping on it in Order to make it industry standard, yet it's still un unomptimezed mess that NEEDS upscaling amd AI tricks to run normally. Its a wonder this runs on switch 1 at all.
@SalvorHardin yeah i guess the implementation is what makes it so unappealing. Also not having a good way to track your progress and having a near useless Map also makes it less of a joy. Exploring is something they got right with the zeldas but MKW just doesnt have that same appeal. The map itself just doesnt grab me as much as Hyrule did. It feels like an afterthought.
Idk but MKW is just so boring for me. Most other Mario Karts have more for singpleplaayer people like me. But the open world is just not fun to drive around in. they are tooo slow imo and the wordl.to big and empty. Got all the costumes but now I dont feel like continuing. The track themselves are fine but needing them to be part of an open world seem to have put a leash on creativity. Im glad I got in in the Bundle. Its not a bad game but it's just......barebones I guess.
I'll catch the round up und summaries. But I'm looking forward to it. Mario Kart World ran out of steam for me very very quickly. Hopefully this will have more stuff for us single player folks
Herdling is the only one im even vaguely imterested....so this has been a nothingburger for me. Yeah it's indie games but man all big console launches have been....underwhelming.... imo.
Havent finished the base game so might aswell to that first. Though I gotta say for as charming as it is. I couldn't stick with it for long. Idk why but i just fall off very quickly.
I've already gotten rid of nintendo today or whatever it was called. I have too many apps for all sorts of nonsense that get used maybe once or twice. I'm trying to digitally declutter
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.
