Re: Video: Overclocked Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Smooths Out Performance On Switch

@Link-Hero Performance issues are never the result of the system being too weak, but of developers making games that are too much to handle for the system they develop for. But yes, Switch games with bad performance will play flawlessly on more powerful hardware. But Nintendo's next, more powerful, system will have as many bad running games as the Switch, because developers will always bite off more than they can chew.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon

I see there are some comments here suggesting other people are wrong to like something the commenter doesn't like. That's a moronic stance to take. To me, Platinum makes probably the best games around these days, but it's fine if other people don't like them. A whole other, and more interesting, discussion is what makes Platinum games special and why they are good and/or bad. As for this game, I wasn't completely sold on the demo, but haven't played the full game yet.

Re: Poll: Six Years On, Which Was Nintendo Switch's Best Year So Far?

It was difficult to choose between 2021:s No More Heroes 3, Monster Hunter Rise, Shin Megami Tensei V, Metroid Dread and Warioware, and 2022:s Bayonetta 3, Kirby, Nier and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Had to go with 2021 in the end, but man, those two years have been fantastic!

In total, I'd rank them 2021, 2022, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2023 (so far), 2020.

Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"

@AtlanteanMan To me, the large investment I put into games is time rather than money. I am full-time employed, so I earn more money in an hour than what I pay for a video game. So I see the 300+ hours I put into a game like Monster Hunter as a negative. Of course, the experience I get from the game is totally worth that investment. But it also means I see a shorter game like Bayonetta 3 as giving a much better return for the investment, so to speak.

@Warioware When it comes to combat, I definitely preferred B3 over B2, and I really liked the Jeanne levels and the variation they brought. But yes, there are quite a few things in the game that could have been better given just a little more time and thought. I think there have been some problems during development in that they bit off a little more than they could chew. But ultimately, most of the game was pure joy to play through, and it's definitely among my top five games on the platform.
