Re: Stonks-9800: Stock Market Simulator Launches On Nintendo Switch In 2022

@Maxz it’s not guaranteed but if you aren’t greedy you can almost certainly protect yourself from any loses (certainly big ones) you need to be calm. You need to not ever panic. Don’t ever invest money you need for something else and you need to pay attention. Having a set of your own rules and sticking to them is the way forward. Don’t get caught up in hype and break your own rules.

Re: Review: STAR WARS: Knights Of The Old Republic - Still Strong With The Force Despite Dated Design

Completed this on Xbox many Death Stars ago (that’s no moon) - 30hours and a bit and I regret not exploring more or indulging in side games and quests as much as I could. I tried replaying on Xbox BC and struggled but I think I’m handheld mode I’ll over come the struggles I had and get back into this world. I’ll pay £11 digital and hope this and KOTOR 2 end up in a physical double pack like the upcoming ones.

It really is a great game.

Re: GTA Trilogy Dataminers Find Missing Music In Code As Problems Mount For 'Definitive' Release

@themightyant I think it’s naive to think devs aren’t lazy. Police people are lazy at times, Doctors, Refuge collectors, Teachers, Shop workers…..

Everyone is lazy at times and some people are just lazy at work and have bad work ethic and just coast… dunno why the word lazy triggers so many people…. Loads of stuff is lazy…. People don’t have often the highest standards in their own work. They’ll do just enough. It’s a fact of life.

@ModdedInkling well that too but I meant more when they release an item like this or the N64 expansion online - it’s the bare minimum…. You know…. I feel they could have with little effort thrown in another few roms and versions on this and it cost them next to nothing…. I don’t believe it takes lots of people months to add and test roms on a machine like this. Most of us have done similar at home.

They could have thrown in the extras suggested in the review.

Also on the online n64…. The Nintendo owned exclusives should have been the bare minimum for launch imho. Again this would have broken the bank and many more of us would have signed up.

It’s about creating goodwill for me… I love Nintendo and when the n64 controller is back in stock I’ll will trump up for the expansion… just feel it’s always bare minimum.

Mine arrived today with bonus cloth and going under the tree for Christmas for me, gone all out this year… Xbox series x, extra controller, 1tb expansion too… and some boba Fett adidas stuff… I might be too old for “big present” but who cares

Re: GTA Trilogy Fans Aren't Happy With Some Of The Changes In The 'Definitive' Remaster

Stocksy

I’m gonna wait until I see more of the game in action before I believe the unwashed masses online. The agenda to hate on these games was clear from the start.

Will they be perfect no. Is it the absolute disaster people are saying. Clearly not. Like most things rockstar these days…. They’ll be decent but overpriced.

But the over blown comments here will at least entertain….

Re: GTA Trilogy Remaster Music Tracks Confirmed By Rockstar

@BongoBongo the gaming industry is terribly naive. Just look at Forza - a big exclusive by MS - the financial whack they have and the legal teams and they can license the game so they don’t have to delist in 6 years time….. they are either naive or want to actively not preserve games and force you to play new versions.

Like you say movies don’t have this problem and games shouldn’t too.

Re: Soapbox: Can We Please Retire The Phrase 'Lazy Devs' Already?

Stocksy

This is illogical. You get lazy Policepeople… lazy Doctors, lazy everything… you get people in all walks of life that don’t have pride in what they do… hide behind excuses and you have people that under ridiculous conditions deliver…..

So everyone saying “it shows a lack of how developers work”…..

You don’t understand how the human mind works and how some people do “phone it in”….

I think 9 times out of 10 it’s lazy greedy CEOs and leads for the project… if that’s at an umbrella company, the Dev or the publisher…

The gaming industry makes me laugh… if a TV show launched with glitches, and unfinished end, with issues with lighting and acting and half a script…. It would be called out…. But oh no we must gatekeep devs and defend them at all costs.

Re: Switch Online Surpasses 32 Million Subs, Nintendo Says It Will Continue To "Improve And Expand" Expansion Pack Tier

Stocksy

@Gwynbleidd it makes me chuckle people on here say it’s good value and the same people say PS Now isnt… PSnow has the same thing with BC… PS3 and ps2 games…. But then loads of ps4 games too. Massive titles and paid £30 a year so cheaper than this…. I think it has 600 games on it. This has under a hundred…. But it’s “just the price of a coffee” and that means “who cares” I wanna be these guys accountant….
