Re: A Limited Edition Fortnite Nintendo Switch Bundle Has Been Announced For Europe

Supadav03

Im not a huge fan of Fortnite (my kids are) but this is actually pretty damn nice.

Still hope we eventually get a Zelda edition. We at least got a Pokemon Switch Lite & Mario & Luigi themed joy-cons. Zelda gas got zero love. Maybe the give us BotW2 & Zelda themed Switch when the “Switch 2/Pro/4K-ready” version comes out?

Side note: The best themed Switch/Bundle is the Dragon Quest one. Absolutely beautiful 😍

This looks amazing. Can’t wait! I love that they kept the art style of BotW but also incorporated gameplay elements too. I’m guessing there will be multiplayer (based on past games) but I hope online or wireless co-op is an option & not just split screen. Better yet, maybe 4-player co-op?! Guess I’ll have to wait to the end of the month to find out.

@SaveDinos I don't agree. I feel men are very often stereotyped & portrayed in a specific way & I’ve seen handicapped people (wheelchair or otherwise) portrayed in many ways from geniuses, to villains, to cool kids, to heroes, to leaders, etc.

Feels like you are making a lot of assumptions.

Is it important people of all races, creeds, ages, abilities, etc are shown in ways that they can be positive influences on individuals & society? Of course! Does that mean people can never be shown otherwise? No.

Maybe a handicapped person saw this and thought “oh, I’ve felt like that. Kinda nice to know I’m not the only one struggling with these feelings. Maybe there is someone out there that can relate to me & help me through this”.

We NEED ALL aspects of all people to be on display - “good and/or bad”

We don’t all interpret the same character, story, game, etc the same way.

@SaveDinos to often we conflate the opinion or experiences of one person to a whole group.

This is one of those instances.

I am going to write the makers of God of War. I don’t like the way they depict fathers as stoic, cold, heavy handed, etc. As a father, it offends me and perpetuates a stereo type of toxic masculinity...or it’s just simply how Kratos is as a father & isn’t mean to represent all fathers.

Just like this character.

Re: Thunder Lotus Apologises For Ableist Storyline In Spiritfarer, Pledges To "Correct The Mistake"

Don’t think there needs to be an apology. If that’s how the character feels, that’s how the character feels.

My father lost his leg almost a year ago in a car accident that nearly took his life. He was in a dark place and said some similar things while in the hospital.

One character or person sharing their feelings doesn’t always have to represent everyone in that group.

(Side note: my wife is a pediatric rehab nurse for the last 15 years, so I have heard many positive AND negative mindsets from her patients - vast majority are positive & upbeat)

Re: Ubisoft Game Rating In Taiwan May Have Revealed God & Monsters' New Name

Supadav03

I’m REALLY looking forward to this game (optimistically hopefull). Need another open world action-adventure game to scratch my itch on Switch until BotW2 releases.

On the name change, it’s whatever. Wasn’t like Gods & Monsters wasn’t pretty generic sounding itself. I’d assume Fenyx is the name of the main character, hence the spelling stylization.

Re: Review: Nexomon: Extinction - An Interesting Pokémon Clone That Doesn't Quite Stick The Landing

Supadav03

The price is right to give this a go. Think it’s only $17.99 right now. Do I think it will be better than Pokemon? No. I’ve played Nexomon on iOS and it very much feels like a mobile game. I’m expecting this to feel similar. Anyone curious about the series, you can try it out there first.

Side note: I bet many of the “Pokemon sucks” crowd still don't buy this even though they’ll post on message boards how much better it will be than SwSh. 🙄

Re: Sword And Shield Are Now The Best-Selling Pokémon Games Since Gold And Silver

Supadav03

Im happy the games sold well as I found SwSh to be really fun. It’s currently my second most played game on Switch (behind only BotW). I’ve really enjoyed co-op max raids, the main adventure, & roaming the Wild Area trying to complete my Pokedex. I recently purchased the DLC & that has pulled me back in again.

Is the game perfect? No. I’m not a fan of experience share, being able to swap Pokemon away from the PC and the animations/graphics could be better but none of those things detracted from the FUN of the game...and that’s WHY I play games, to have fun.

So people can say what they want about the sales figures & those who bought these games: “they are sheep, blind followers, uneducated/uncultured masses” but Pokemon SwSh EARNED it’s 18+ million in sales by being a FUN game.
