@Rhum17 you can do this with any story and movie. Pick holes. Star Wars “fanbase” is bonkers especially on YouTube. I sit down: watch or play Star Wars content and do this crazy crazy thing….
Enjoy it. Just be entertained.
It’s cracking. Much better than Pulling it apart and saying it’s all rubbish.
Canon is whatever you want it to be. Star Wars has so many plot holes even in “canon” so just enjoy what you want. I love Star Wars and can’t wait to replay this game. Got it on steam deck for now. I’ll pick up physical if it gets one in the U.K.
I’m a big fan of keeping physical media alive. I own a lot of their early releases. Their pivot away from me being a customer to a “fan” and being asked to join a fan club just to get early information, felt greedy and frankly ridiculous. Which was a shame coz they were doing good things and avoiding some of the issues that plague LRG.
It’s a shame. I’m glad they are doing well and they have plenty of “fans”. They seem nice people and I wish them well.
I like Xbox. I own every gen of Xbox and multiple versions of a a few. 100s of digital games and well over 300 physical games.
The do half talk a lot of nonsense though. They have a cult like following now, that won’t have a bad word said about them.
Their exclusives haven’t been good enough for a while (the odd exception of course) even Forza MS they ruined. (An open goal).
Gamepass is not the charity gift to gamers many make out.
I understand why many like Gamepass. But for many it is overpriced and not suitable. Yet people are hammered and called “not real gamers” if they don’t like it.
I’d like Xbox to focus and make a few exclusives that were not live service games in disguise.
I’ve got something like 400 physical carts now. I honestly don’t know what I have anymore. I’ve slowed down. I still have all my games from right back to N64 days I wish I had further back tbh
@Serpenterror I never knew about the top one, I know I played the 2nd and 4th ones loads. I assume I played the sequel too but the cover isn’t ringing a bell. I’ll check out YouTube. Thanks for posting.
Goes to the room and the back of the house now dedicated for this and picks out the 11,197 journal I have started page 64th and adds Rockstar to the list of companies I’m told to boycott.
Sighs. Goes to sit on the floor. I’m in trouble if I’m told I have to boycott the company that makes the journals.
Comments are confusing me. People seem to think the FIFA license is a big deal. It’s losing the rights to a word and the use of the World Cup. That’s it. All the teams and leagues are still here. Anyone not buying on the loss of the fifa license is an idiot.
There are plenty of reasons not to buy that are legitimate however
These are cracking games and I’m glad they got an 8. Well deserved.
A lot of people didn’t play these and they should. A lot of people that did ignored the solo player content. Im all for games shunning the multiplayer aspect and giving us solid solo player content.
We are lucky to have so many experts in gaming code and how to build massive million copy selling games posting here on our little corner of the internet. We should all be thankful for their input. Like I always feel lucky on purexbox how many experts in multibillion dollar merger laws there are….
Sometimes we have to be thankful these people bless us with their time. They are not in their mums basement typing nonsense. No sir. They know best
I loved the sound of this until I realised that all of the cover and screen shot press release pics and blurb make no mention of drivers or real sponsors. So it’s tracks that are made to look nothing like their real versions and no actual nascar drivers or cars….. hmmmmmmm
The scoring thing always gets me. Also the fact “there are so many 9/10 games that people don’t bother with 7s shows where we have gone wrong. There are not a load of 9/10s that’s a fact.
There are games that reviewers score higher but in all reality there are very few 9/10 games.
I’d get rid of scores.
I want more facts in reviews and less opinions. Tell me about features, controls etc. give opinions briefly at the end.
Many times I come away from a review with my main questions about the game unanswered.
Also try and put a reviewer on the game that actually understand what the target market of the game actually wants from the game.
@Poodlestargenerica aye modern gamers don’t seem to be able to play a good solo player game and just throw money at disposable multiplayer games that will vanish forever after 1-2 years
@Wexter imho emulation doesn’t need a defence but some people will always want to make it more serious than it is. To act like anything involved with dolphin is “serious” to me with everything going on is ridiculous
@Dpishere aye. I was thinking who wouldn’t just use emudeck. Takes minutes to set and up and literally does everything and makes it easy to tinker.
Emudeck is the way to go.
I genuinely have a collection of way way over 1000 games on all platforms probably now close to 5000. I have no issue with emulating any of them or any old games I can’t now get. I put enough in the game industry eco system. Way more than these arm chair moralists.
@NatiaAdamo you seem to think laws in one country apply worldwide….. you American by any chance?
You mean In the “land of opportunity” there are so many laws to make sure the opportunity is for the rich and to keep the poor in check to just make them rich?!?
Like I tried to explain (obviously badly) that isn’t my understanding of what a speed run was. People were not speed running any games back in the day within 6 hours of the game coming out. It took time. It’s an art form.
This is playing a pirate version. Learning a speed run and uploading it for money.
That isn’t what speed running was back in the day.
Definitely not a first play through. Obviously played the leaked copy.
I always thought speed runners loved the game and played it front to back so many times that they’d learnt how to do it quickly. Which I admired. This is just the opposite. The game is lovingly crafted and a rich world. To not explore it and instead exploit it just seems strange. In a way it sums up the “influencer” culture. No patience, no culture, just want instant results and instant pay.
Anything for clicks and likes.
In other news for people that actually want to play the game it’s a pretty good game maybe spend some time playing it.

Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Red Dead Redemption On Switch
@DennisReynolds they are ridiculous claims. Everyone knows the BC version on the Xbox is amazing.
Any switch owners would be stupid to expect that. Comparing to the original 360 is sensible. Digital foundry are pretty decent at this sort of thing.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Red Dead Redemption On Switch
@Gumdrop people would still be confused.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Red Dead Redemption On Switch
People seem to not know the difference between a Port, a remaster and a remake….. they never claimed this was anything but a port.
So it’s ended up…..
A port.
It runs better than the original and people still call it a lazy port.
It might be a lazy release…. But it’s a port.
Nintendo have done the same.
I wish it was getting a steam port.

Re: Mailbox: Welcome To The Nintendo Life Letters Page!
@Lightsiyd tbh I agree it’s just I’m so tired of reading a positive review - 7/10 and seeing comments - “oh hard pass then. Expect it to be good”
Get rid of scores and it’ll force lazy fools to actually think for themselves. Also it’ll stop the trend of dishing out 9/10 like candy.
I saw a website give Redfall a 4/5 and then Zelda 5/5 ——— like if that doesn’t highlight we scores are meaningless nothing will.
If you didnt look elsewhere you’d think those two games are close in standards.
No one believes that surely.
