Amen. The Switch still has plenty of life in it, it's just up to the developers to care about what they're doing enough to give ports the attention they need.
Such a shame, he was Geralt. But alas, greed wins out and making a 29th or whatever Superman film is more important (aka $$$) than something with heart we haven't seen a billion times over.
I, for one, cannot wait for the superhero trend to end.
What's the point of reviewing cloud games if they're all going to run poorly? It's going to be the same crappy experience no matter which title you pick.
While it was a decent game, it never grabbed me like Final Fantasy Tactics did. Adding a few more pixels to make it "prettier" (still looks the same to me) won't make up for the so-so rest of the game.
I wouldn't mind a CoD on Switch just to try it with the gyro controls.
Last one I bought was Black Ops 2 on Xbox 360. Haven't really seen any reason to continue with the sameness of them yet, and now they've reverted to just redoing games. Although MW2 is the pinnacle of the franchise.
I'm sure it could be done since Overwatch 2 runs a stable 30fps and it has a whole bunch more going on at any given time than any CoD match. Although CoD maps are much more detailed.
Either way it would be a super low priority game for me since it's been downhill to me for 15 years.
I couldn't care less about skins I don't even get to see while playing but man, when you find a good balanced match, its extremely fun on the Switch in handheld.
@RichyM Disappointing to hear. Was rather interested in this when I first heard about it but removing half of the battle for fps is a hard pass for me then.
@Dezzy70 I guess I'll say it for the umpteenth time..it's not feasible to do a Switch Pro with China constantly threatening Taiwan, which makes 60% of the worlds semiconductors. They'd have to dramatically increase the price and still have a mass shortage. Ah why bother, I don't think anybody here understands video game world doesn't exist solely by itself out of real world conflict.
Too bad I spent all my saved up free V-bucks on the two new Halloween people, the demonish chick and the dude with a hand for a head though, so no Ashley Williams for me.
Really wanted to hear Charlie Day stub his toe or something and start cursing like crazy as Luigi (obvious /s because duh it is PG, but I do love Charlie).
I don't use Tracer. Nor do I eat McDonald's very often.
They should of picked a fatty for the promotion like Roadhog though.
@Friendly Lol what? I play like 5 different f2p games all the time and I've yet to see an ad in one. Unless you mean shop promotions? Takes all of 1/5th of a second to dismiss those.
@LittIeZ It's very free to play without the sarcasm quotes as the cosmetics are overpriced and the battle pass is bad, thus making me not want to spend a penny while still enjoying playing it and I've already unlocked everyone except the new character. Doesn't get more f2p than that.
@KnightsTemplar Me. I think you'll find the vast majority of people won't boycott companies or not play their games due to unpleasant behavior by a few employees of a MASSIVE faceless corporation, that's the very loud vocal minority who thrive on likes and thumbs up. Plus it's free and not $60 + continued NSO subscription if you want to play online.
The $30 price point is nice but I have no interest in Dragon my BallZ in a DBD type game.
@Bizzyb I don't know about that. Half life/TFC had asymmetrical game modes in 2000 and I'm sure it was done way before that as well. Doubt a 2003 pacman game invented anything.
Very well put by her! Trying to make it a one woman show all about Helena is just lame when so many other people worked hard on it too. Can't wait to hear Jennifer's version.
It's cute you keep Advanced Wars on the list. Guess you guys don't watch the actual news...the little war that got the game withheld is soon going nuclear WW3 sooo don't expect Nintendo to reverse that decision anytime in this decade.
Hahaha no. I'm not depriving myself of something in this short life because someone else feels entitled to something.
There were MANY ways for her to have gone about this (DiMaggio holding out on Futurama to get the entire VA cast more pay recently comes to mind) but waiting two weeks before the game comes out and going on a social media rant is NOT the right way to go about it.
I'm sure they could have come to an agreement, there's no way $4k was their bottom line offer. Seems she got offended and self important, said no, they replaced her and now she's crying for us to boycott?
God I hate social media. Also don't forget that $4k is for about 20 hours of work. Total. $200 an hour (most likely more) to talk seems pretty sweet to me.
Maybe might get it for a future sale but probably not as overly anime stuff isn't my thing generally. $60 for a brand old new game is a big pass as well (thanks NieR for spoiling us).
Metroid or Zelda would probably be the only ones I'd be interested in.
The Bayonetta movie was pretty good if it looked like every other anime ever though. Hmm I wonder how much they paid her for that compared to the $4k offering for Bayo 3...
@duffmmann I bet they have something like that planned if the Mario movie does well enough, which I'm sure it will since people will even watch those horrible Sonic movies.
Hey I called it when it was first announced. Figured they tried to be cheap and she said no. She should have grouped with the other VAs and not sign until they got better pay like DiMaggio did with Futurama.
That said, I couldn't care less if she's involved or what crimes the company behind the game has committed (you can bet they've almost all done their share, most worse than a little sexy harassment).
Boycott a game because she didn't get paid enough?! Haha...yeah not gonna happen. I'll continue to enjoy Blizzard games as well because I don't care about the nonsense behind the doors because SPOILER: every large company is going to do evil and have bad people there.
It's been quite a fun experience and runs remarkably well on the Switch even with all the chaos going on. A great addition to it's library that will still be relevant in years most likely. Only had some weird experiences lately after the wreck of a launch as well.
If they improve the BP in the future to make it return your in-game currency (or just make the free pass not so horrible) I may get it but not with how bad it is now.
Still trying to get 50 wins to unlock competitive mode so I'll at least get some more focused and balanced matches.
2 years later and it seems the crashing was never fixed. About 5 freezes so far, had to fill on restart, and that was from a crash that happened as soon as I started and loaded my save file...
I've always loved Rube Goldberg machines. This is a bit simple but very clean looking. Pretty cool stuff!
Reminds me of this Wintergaten guy who made a whole crazy piano thing to play music with 2000 ball bearings/marbles and levers and such, although not really a Rube Goldberg machine.
