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.

@Nintatious No, you didn't.

A, here we are again, cultural appropriation that is accepted because apparently you can't be racist against white people. :S

Oh, well, still excited for season 2 though.

@everynowandben No it doesn't, XP is not what dictates if something is an RPG, it is a common trait of the genre but it is not the essence. RPG is about roleplaying, hence the name R-P-G = Role Playing Game. >.>, so no matter how much you want to, you're not right.

By your logic, almost EVERY game is an RPG then, because the XP system has become a common trait in games because it is a way for publishers/devs to more easily monetize their games.

@everynowandben XP has nothing really to do with it, RPG per definition is first of all about roleplaying as someone (not just playing a character), which is why the only actual RPGs you have are those of BG1 and BG2, Icewind Dale, Tides of Numunera, Pillars of Eternity and etc...

Zelda is as much of an RPG as Fifa is a strategy/tactics game, it isn't. End of story.

Woho! Awesome! You wasted your time doing that so we don't have to. Thanks.

BOTW does not have dungeons.

@Zuljaras Be careful, this writer constantly posts the responses of her articles on her Twitter just to ridicule them.

Eew the dougnut spitter.

@BradT Is it really so difficult providing links to support what you're saying? So in other words it's just *****. Well nice try dude.

@BradT If you have accusations like these, at least provide some source that can undersupport your statement. "Trusting" random accusations on an Internet comment section is one of the worse ideas ever.

Considering how serious of a crime this is, I don't give a damn about how bad Cyberpunk was, this is not deserved on anyone. We can't let morals or emotions dictate what's right and what's wrong from a judicial perspective.

Also, most ppl got their refunds that were unhappy with it after the launch, if you bought it after the reviews and opinions were out there on the Internet, that is not on CDPR, that is on you, so stop complaining about this, it has become pathetic at this point.

@FroZtedFlakerZz I would ignore and not let it get to me. Rude comments and tweets is not something exclusive to those that are working publicly, e.g. journalists.

This happens to most people, what you do is simple, you ignore it and move on. Giving it oxygen will just keep it alive longer and keep people coming back.

@FroZtedFlakerZz What are you on about? No one here is being rude or even mean. :S

This article is just complete nonsense, this isn't even game related. This is something I expect to find in Cosmopolitan or TMZ, not NL. Christ... try to have some quality. :S

@Damo Then the red should be a lot darker. Odd, it looks much more like the Norwegian flag with the contrast they used in the picture. They're also missing the obvious symbols, but I guess this being a 2020 game there is no way they have the balls to do that.

Eh...know nothing about this game, came only to ask why the fudge is the anime girl holding a Norwegian flag in the thumbnail for this article. o.O
