@xiao7 amen to this. They are a horrible grubby little company. I suspect they send out a lot of freebies to keep all the media outlets onside. Most of their loyal customers and I was for years have jumped ship now and do try and warn others
@Grim my single ones arrived this week although I ordered them a year ago…. And so did the double packs…..that were much cheaper and two games on same cart. Literally double cost less than one….. LRG is a scam at this point. Save your money.
I received my limited run Star Wars games this week….. they were order months and months and months ago…. Like ages…. And also received the same games in a much cheaper double pack….. that were released after and half the price…. Just wait for the proper shop release
@JohnnyC lmao. “Rockstar games always drop in price” - based on what? We only had two games in just over generation and both held the value massively. RDR2 and GTA V.
@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.
@JayJ that’s ridiculous. The spin you have put on that. Games that are rushed out and buggy are not the consumer or the fault of the media else all games would be in the same state. They hyped Cyberpunk as being the best game ever; they made bold claims about the world and story…
@Flashlink99 what is everyone at Rockstar games doing? For a whole gen they released one game and supported a last gen game and now we are another gen on and they outsourced this….. haha. I wanna work there. Easy street.
They’ll milk the relatively low fan base (they only be interested in Pokémon numbers) and then they’ll ditch it just like they did Harry Potter. Don’t pay these guys a penny.
What a lame response. We enjoy scrutiny. Haha. What a joker. Also trying to claim this was on purpose. Likening those bugs to Han shot first. This guy.
Get out of town mate. You been smoking something mate.
@carlos82 they are Nintendo games…. “It’s fine” isn’t good enough. They should be perfect.
It Netflix had sound issues or sound and picture was out of sync or movies stuttered would people say “it’s not perfect but it’s fine” hell no….. gamers are a funny bunch.
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.
@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.
@Dr_Corndog what? Removing the files or not in this case is just lazy…. I’m pretty sure a executive didn’t insist the dev left the files in and skip them…. In fact I think going on past legal issues the executives will be most unhappy….
@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.
Second comment but I do feel, and I’m a massive fan of Nintendo but they do always seem to do the bare minimum. I feel now and then they could push the boat out - especially when some of the frustrations are things that would be minimal effort for what would be to the fans massive.
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
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….
@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.
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.
@Darkyoshi98 I’m not “running my mouth” don’t be so rude. I own all three consoles and services on all three and have plenty of money… just don’t want to pay Nintendo for the extra layer as it doesn’t offer value right now.
@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….

He says nothing here. Hollow words. I bet the emulation is never fixed.
They continue to offer as little as possible for maximum they think they can get away with.
The service is a shambles compared to any other sub service gaming or Movie/TV.
People who say otherwise don’t understand what other services do or don’t understand what we have are a few roms slung in a app.
