Re: A 'Pro' Switch With More Power Might Not Even Be Fully Utilised, Says Industry Veteran

@AG_Awesome I don’t think the article means stuff like performance enhancements like higher frame rates, that’s a given that a pro model will give those improvements. The article really means that we won’t see any games developed from the jump that truly take advantage of any beefy hardware that the original switch just wouldn’t be able to handle at all, take xenoblade chronicles 3d for a small example. Makes sense, as this is exactly what happened with the Xbox oneX

Re: Nintendo 3DS Outsold The Entire Xbox Family - Including Series X - In Japan Last Year

@Rhaoulos they had a decent amount of good Japanese games on the 360, idol master was huge for them and there were a couple of shmups and such that gave them a bit of footing in Japan. When the one came out they basically snuffed out all that work and stopped trying. But this is around the time when they had multiple bosses running everything bottlenecking the entire division so it’s not surprising they let Japan get away from them.

@Kienda baby shark shows that kids will enjoy damn near anything and only realize later it sucked. It still doesn’t change the fact that 3d shows are often lazily produced and a product no one actually asked for. Like I said before only the writing really saved sonic boom.

However, people have been asking for more 2d animated sonic since satAM.

@MimoDX2 ok if you want to go that route, the 2d games are rated higher than the 3D ones soooo.....

Anyway a game and a show are two different things. It takes a huge budget to make a good 3D anything and movies barely pull it off. A 3D tv show usually uses some lazy 3D animation and won’t do sonic any justice, Just look at sonic boom(only the writing saved it)

Like I said an expanded sonic mania anime would do sonic 100x’s more justice than a 3D show.

Re: Pokémon GO Strips Away Stay-At-Home Safety Features In The Middle Of A Pandemic

@JohnBlackstar getting covid is not the problem. The problem is when you get it and become a carrier that may kill others. When one person gets covid the entire family gets it. This is the reason people should not be going out if they don’t need to. This mostly is for the United States who is doing everything wrong. If you’re in some other better faring countries who are seeing a decline I can under but this is still a worldwide pandemic that is not ending any time soon. Niantic asking people to put themselves in a situation where they can not only spread the virus but also catch it is just tone deaf.

@JohnBlackstar you don’t understand how it really works and affects players. The only way to efficiently play is by finding nests and large groups of Pokémon and by being around gyms and/or cities. Being around All those things increases the likelihood of a covid infection. Just walking and “getting air”not going to do it for most players. These changes they are making are just alienating people who’s lives aren’t setup to be as active as they were. A lot of people are going to be screws come the next community day and that’s where I think the real complaints may start

@JohnBlackstar if you don’t know how Pokémon go really works don’t comment. Walking around your house or the block is not really a great way to play and the only way to really prosper in go is going places and being in crowded areas, which increases covid risk. A lot of people are working and schooling from home and rarely going out so getting rid of features that allow you to play from home are ludicrous. It’s like asking people to put themselves in a possibly bad situation. What makes it worse is that the features they are nerfing weren’t that great in the first place but the game is an absolute coaster if they’re gone

@rdrunner1178 although the SA2 demo that came with phantasy star online really got me hyped for it with the San fransico level, I never got the same awe I did from the original SA. I did appreciate a lot of the technical and graphical issues from SA being ironed out though.

Re: Scalpers Are Already Listing The "Limited" Switch Release Super Mario 3D All-Stars

@carlos82 yea there are still big retailers with stock but I can see those drying up soon. The way resellers work is they throw up sales for two reasons 1) get a leg up and have the auctions And sales up there the moment people start looking to the aftermarket, they get to be the first up. 2) pricing high or at weird pricing 1-8% of the time will actually get you a dumb sale from someone who doesn’t know any better, and they can always change the pricing once the aftermarket starts popping. It’s just taking advantage of opportunities
