Re: Nikkei Report Says No New Nintendo Hardware Is Coming This Fiscal Year

SteamEngenius

Well duh, anyone with the slightest bit of sense can take a look at the state of things in the world and tell you there wasn't going to be a switch 2 or "pro" this year, and almost certainly not next either.

If China moves on Taiwan, might be a few more years since they make 60% of semiconductors in the entire world.

Has been cracking me up at the oblivious ones spouting "we need Switch 2!!" in the comments when it's just not feasible with the way the world is going (to hell, in a hand basket).

Re: Backlog Club: Have You Seriously Not Played Portal Yet?

Played them both to death on Xbox360 back in the day, some of the finest gaming experiences out there. So I have no need to rebuy them although if they do go to $9.99 some day I might pick them up again just to try with gyro but I doubt it.

@mariomaster96 That's not the Switches fault, that's just how the game loads. It does use a really really old engine.

Re: Backlog Club: Hollow Knight Does Things That Other Games Wouldn't. That's Why It's So Good

SteamEngenius

Really love Hollow Knight but all it's little things put in it for the sole purpose of cheap shots and to piss you off makes it hard to want to hop back in, even if I must be getting be getting near the end. Very frustrating game with too much aimed at being annoying to make it seem harder than it is, compared to Celeste, where everything there is no fault but your own.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?

SteamEngenius

Well I was around before digital only titles, I was blowing in original Nintendo carts as a kid...but I guess I'm not a real gamer because I don't collect pieces of plastic in varying degrees of overpriced splendor to show that I am in fact a gamer.

I'm in the minority of people who just enjoy the actual, you know, experiences and memories made from playing them, not spending 3x-10x (for special shiny limited ultra mega supreme rare "collectors" editions) the price to stick on a shelf and maybe perhaps look at once every 5 years after the initial playing is done.

Digital is amazing.

Re: Nintendo Launches Huge Switch eShop Multiplayer Sale With Up To 80% Off (North America)

Finally picked up Doom Eternal since the Deluxe edition went on sale for under $25, which was my target. I refuse to pay Nintendough for their 15 year old online "service" though so couldn't care less about MP.

@Sonos Wrong, Apple is considered peasant phone for anyone with half a working brain. Only 13 year olds and their "I NEED one or I won't be cool" mentality actually think apple products are superior in any way. Also I think Monster Hunter Rise is one of the most boring experiences I've had on my switch after 2 hours of the free trial, so no, we can't be friends it seems.

Re: Random: GQ Calls Video Game Patches "Laziness", And People Are Not Impressed

SteamEngenius

I mean...they're not wrong. The guy can complain about "impossible schedule" all he wants but EVERY game gets delayed multiple times now and somehow still ships needing fixes.

Then there are games like Mario Strikers where they sell you half a game at full price and promise to add stuff later (but it's FREE!!!).

Maybe I just miss buying fully finished, completed games? How silly of me.

Re: Disney Wants Its New Kart Racer To Provide A "Fair" Free-To-Play Experience

SteamEngenius

Sounds good, will be my first racing game since Mario Kart Wii. Can't beat the price and I don't mind actually (gasp) playing games to unlock things, it's part of the fun for me so I won't mind the paid aspects. If they were smart they'd structure the season pass to give you your in-game currency back like Fortnite, but it's Disney so I doubt that'll be the case. Either way I'll at least be trying it since you can't get buyers remorse with free.

If they have a good art design team, and an actual fun game, they can amass a lot of money just from skins alone if reasonably priced, but again..Disney...so..

Re: Hideki Kamiya: Nintendo Hasn't Ever Asked Platinum To Cover Up Bayonetta

SteamEngenius

@Bablommebite I mean it's the same with films. Kill a million people violently on screen in very realistic ways....That's fine! Show a nip? OH MY GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN! People are very strange creatures.

@Truegamer79 The leaders of religions who wanted more power/control decided being nekkid is a no-no, and it just kind of absorbed itself into government.

Also I had no idea there was a Link costume in Bayonetta 2! Looks like I'm going to have to redownload it now. Wouldn't hurt to get practice in for 3 too even though I'll wait for a sale on it in the future.
