Re: Feature: How Nintendo And A Band Of Teenage High Score Obsessives Created The Idea Of The Pro Gamer

@SwitchVogel I can actually relate to that. When I first got FX2 on the Wii U I was obsessed with getting first place on every table. I enjoyed pinball so much and found out I was actually good at it so I started with my favorite tables and went from there. Took me about a year to get just over half of the first place scores but then I started to get burnt out. Checking daily to see if anyone had taken one of my scores and then having to get some back became a chore and not so fun.

It got to the point where I was nearly playing the tables to achieve high scores and not play the tables for fun. I would quickly learn what to do to score the highest I could and just continue to spam that over and over again and not play the table the way it was intended. I eventually burned out to the point I didn't want to play pinball for a good long while. Games would last 5 to 10 hours and it felt more like a job to me then a game.

Sorry for that rant as what you said made me think of my own experiences. At some point you lose what you loved about playing certain games just like you said.

Re: 2K Says It's Eager To Release More Games On The Nintendo Switch

I wish they would just go the full price and use a bigger cart for release. I would gladly pay $60 for any of these collections if all or most were on the cart. I'm still getting them all just not right away. No way I can justify spending $150 on games when some will just sit there till I get to them. They almost said we know you will pick up one of these and maybe the others down the road on a sale. If I'm not picking them up in a months time I'm for sure waiting on a sale.

Re: Still On The Fence About Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair? Now's The Time To Strike

@danemord First game was ok but it did not scratch that 3d platformer pitch for me. The world's were just too big and making them bigger didn't help. Not I'm not a fan of 2d Mario but this, DKC/R, and the last 2 Rayman games are totally my style of 2d games.

If the first level didn't win you over then there's really no point. I knew by the first level this game was far better then their last for me anyways.

@BenAV I saw your gates open yesterday and just missed coming by to BF you. I'll keep a look out for another opportunity in the future.

As for time traveling I would never do it unless I was just done with the game forever and just wanted to see a few things before putting the game down for good. Even then I probably wouldn't bother. I've been playing the game a ton since release and dont see that stopping anytime soon.
