No thanks. Don't support any dev that uses actual ai in their development.

Lol. Think most people could tell this wasn't running on Switch 2 or else it would probably be quite the disappointment.

If true, this is just even more disappointing. Would love a Link To The Past remake with this engine. Can't believe this is the new Zelda content.

Haven't played this so I'm excited as hell for this!

Cover art look okay-ish, better than the actual game. Can't believe they didn't do something else than this.

This was without a doubt the biggest disappointment. A Zelda game without Link as the protagonist? Copy abilities instead of actual combat, no thank you. Would rather have a proper remaster than this.

So surprised everyone says Metroid Dread was so difficult. I've never been a Metroidvania-player but I found Dread to be super easy up until the last boss (so difficult I haven't finished it yet). One of my favorite games of all time, even tried to understand "sequence breaking" which was a completely new concept to me.

Trying to finish Persona 5 Royal (114 hours in). Oh my god! This game's story is so boring and long winded compared to Persona 4 Golden.

The first half is great (absolutely love it), but then somewhere during the summer months and leading up to most of october-half of november, is just so boring, it almost makes me resent the game. November 18 now - right before going up against a boss, and based on the story development - I think it's gonna pick up again (I hope so!).

Hopefully either Wind Waker & Twilight Princess Remaster/Remakes or Switch 2 announcement, or else I don't think I personally will care as much - as I doubt they will announce any proper new games for Switch 1.

It was pretty meh, but I don't expect much from indie developers, in every 100 indie game there might be like 3-6 of them that are actually good or excellent. The market is just way too saturated now with indie games.

No thanks. Just let them focus on creating the characters they want without this ridiculous pressure that they HAVE TO check boxes with the 'knife' of cancellation held against their throat if they don't.

Also, from my understanding of the Japanese text, "Vivian" is just a cross-dresser. Either way, it's kind of sad that the gender-discussion about a purple shadow seem to Trump the discourse about how great the game is, but I guess that's just gaming culture nowadays.

It's never gonna happen. Nintendo doesn't need it nor Game Awards. For ***** sake, Nintendo is the one that started the whole Direct standard, if they didn't need E3 what on earth would make Geoff think they need Summer Game Fest. Lol.

@Tupin Please give examples as all I am seeing are criticisms pointed towards either the game's gameplay, design, acts, flow and such. (:

@Jiggies Yeah, almost like the dev created a whole narrative to gain publicity without any ground or evidence. Not often we see that nowadays ... oh wait.

@KorenLesthe That's fine if you believe that. But several don't seem to share that sentiment, and couple that along with the extremely low player count on Steam, it's pretty obvious what's going on here. Instead of just admitting that the game didn't sell well, it's easier to create this whole narrative on the side to protect one's ego and hopefully getting publicity at the same time.

Lol. that hair is weirdly disproportionate to the rest of the body.

Fire Emblem Three Houses is my favorite, but please keep social sim at the minimum. Only reason I didn't get Engage is simply because of the ***** story and obnoxious 'anime-esque' melodrama, and the only reason I loved Three Houses is because the story was great and the low amount of social sim worked well with it.

@JokerCK What are you even on about? NintendoLife have always covered this type of news as long as there is even the faintest connection to a game or possible game on a Nintenedo console. Lol.

30 fps? Really? Come on, Nintendo.

Damn. Totally forgot this show existed after they decided to replace Cavill. Good riddance, couldn't care less about the show now.

Lol at the at the scale of the diver next to the whale.

I have been wondering, and maybe someone can answer this.

Is there a "environmentally conscious" argument to be made for going digital over physical or vice versa? Like, how much pollution is generated through the production of physical covers and cartridges contra the amount of electricity used to maintain servers, inc. the production of the actual servers themselves.

If I was conscious about something like that, would digital or physical be better (ofc, not the obvious that is "none")?

Only thing that could make me go 100 % over to digital, is if they gave me full ownership of the product (I actually own what I buy), and they can reassure it will always be downloadable regardless of what happens in the future. They could always do like GOG and let you download all the content needed to install and then keep it locally on a SD card or on the drive, if that isn't possible, then they would need some method where this is possible so that I am assured.

@garfreek You can disagree all you want with her, but she have every right. And seriously, when people send her death threats what do they expect? For her to be more mild in her position? Lol.

No thanks. The whole show have just become a conduit for political correctness and virtue signaling, the fact that Hogwarts wasn't in any of the nominations just goes to show what this show is about. Will watch the trailers the day after.

If it seriously lacks backwards compability then I definitely will wait with buying it, unless they release the next Mario Kart game on it or something that's really enticing, but still then it won't be an easy decision for me.

We already know it's most likely gonna be a portable hybrid so I am pretty sure they will opt for a cartridge format, hence I don't see much excuse for it not to support backwards compatibility.

@UltimateOtaku91 Lol, I've played through the game (approx. 80 - 90 hours) even I agree that it's not incorrect to deem it as a sort of "expansion" of the BoTW. For me though that is neither a criticism or a jab at the game, but just a accurate description of what you're getting in terms of game concept.

Zelda TOTK has a way broader and casual appeal, but it wouldn't surprise me if BG3 won the GOTY awards this year. The game, though, not as good as the previous 2, it is definitely the best game for the last 10 years.

Doubt it. But if it has the same lifespan, then I think it easily can at least top it by a little.

I haven't fully finished the game (approx 150 hours in). The game is good and I do love my time spent on it, but there is no doubt in my mind that the game is overrated.

The dungeons/temples are an improvement over the predecessor, but still very lacking.

The story is an improvement but yet very lacking, and they have lost quite a bit of that Zelda charm, except for a few NPC characters here and there. The "memory/tears" thing didn't really work for me, especially as I would never have them revealed to me in a consistent fashion, so it just got confusing and tiresome.

The gameplay is fun and can be compelling, but it is also filled to the brim with mindless quests and collectibles that give you pretty much the same task but with different contexts of why you do it, which gets repetitive and boring.

-I do love the fusion mechanic as it made the durability mechanic fairer and less obnoxious. The "building" mechanics I hope they leave behind in the next installment as it never really felt that necessary and when it did, it wasn't really that great, it has too many limitations to really be optimal or justify why it's there.

-The shrines (have 10 left) I am a bit back-and-forth with, as I don't know if I truly liked them this time around. I loved several of the ones with actual puzzles, but then the "exploration" ones, in hindsight weren't really that exciting to complete. Koroks are whatever, they're fine... I guess... at least they tried to give them more variations.

-Dungeons/temples were really great, but so damn short and the bosses were definitely an improvement over BoTW, but still not really that great. Wind temple I think might've been my favorite or the puzzle in the Lighting temple (probably the one that made me feel the most that this was a Zelda game).

-Difficulty is much like BoTW, it's all over the place. It has so many difficulty spikes that I just go from loving the difficulty to hating how fast it can get boring.

Music, it's between meh and great for me, I am just not that much of a fan of the minimalist approach, so it's more a matter of taste rather than if it's actually bad or not. Music itself is great, just hate the timing and length of it.

The game for me is much like The Depths, it's really excellent and fun the first half, and as the game's patterns unfold, you get more sick of it, but slowly and gradually so.

Can't decide between 7 or 8. Worth buying. Had fun. Good game, but still lacks a lot that is necessary for it to be a good 'Zelda' game. I do think the team deserves most of the praise it gets, even though I don't gush over it.

@Deviant-Dork
To be fair, if the user had said they spent only 30-40 hours on the game, mainly focusing on the main story. You most likely would tell them that their opinion don't matter because they didn't fully explore the game.

Couldn't care less about this game, I can never tell what this game is every time I hear another news story about it. My only actual annoyance with the game is more on how it (probably) has negatively shaped how game publishers/devs implement micro-transactions, and its success definitely is a good example of why a game should have micro-transactions from a business standpoint, which for gamers like me, sucks big time. I also find it disgusting how it appeals to children and at the same time offers so many ways to just continuously spend money, my sympathies go to the parents that have to deal with this *****.

Nintendo being Nintendo, shocking.

Was excited when I saw they are rebooting one of my favorited PC franchises, but after looking at that video, this seem so far from the actual Settlers concept. Hard pass.

@westman98 What?! How is that even possible?! Have we seen actual gameplay videos of that version?

@blindsquarel Yes. You can play on console and deal with the horrendous performance issues. Or... you can play it on an emulator at high performance with better FPS and resolution.

Was about to buy it, but hearing about the performance issues, I am definitely getting it "another" way, especially when that option can give me 60+ fps and better graphics settings.

Still doubt this will be on Switch, but I guess it'll be cloud version. Either way, I am getting this game and going to support 100% EVERYONE in involved. Super hyped!

Was fun! Great to see Destiny's Gigachad!

@anoyonmus Fair enough, next step is to wait for more info then and a actual video that shows the performance and graphical downgrade.

I wanna congratulate Nintendo Life on handling this better then most other outlets like KF, EZA and such. It's nice to see that along with LSM, Nintendo Life is approaching this rationally.

On another note, I am super hyped for this game, though I won't be playing on Switch, I assume it'll end up being a cloud version. If not, then I will wait until we know more about the performances before buying it.

How are people being harassed by the use of this character skin? :S Even the video doesn't really show it except for one example that seemed a bit vague.
Not difficult to imagine people being racist in online games, not sure how many times I've been called n***** and I am white, but I wish the author provided examples of it in the article to give a better understanding of what is going on.

Why are you even writing about this? Did anyone seriously think this would have been on the Switch? xD

Wait, you can pay monthly instead of annual? I couldn't find that option anywhere. Only option I see is to pay for the annual membership and no way is that happening with what they have to offer.

I guess she cheats at it.

@JDCII How on earth are those two thee same thing? One is a opportunistic a** and the other one is basically Robin Hood, unless it is bootlegging.

@Anti-Matter Male, based on the game mechanics it's pretty obvious.

Thank god we can still play as Link and no CO-OP nonsense. Great reveal, and the game looks gorgeous!! But I seriously hope that they do more than just use the old map and add a sky-map above that, and that's it They need to add things to the old map also to justify this, which I think personally they will, but it's a bit of a concern.
