I passed on Knock 'Em Down Bowling after hearing about how the motion controls lacked any real finesse. I hope there's a review of this one coming as I would love a good motion bowling game on my Switch.
@MisterKorman Exactly. Knives Out was super fun and has garnered almost universal acclaim from non star wars edgelords, but you wouldn't know it because every time Rian Johnson's name is even mentioned in passing, any reasonable conversation is drowned out by the tantrums of manbabies.
I just finished yet another rewatch of the original trilogy over the weekend. They were just as magical and enjoyable as ever.
Which is weird because everyone is bleating about how these movies were "ruined"? They played fine, and I was as captivated and entertained by them as I always have been.
There have been Star Wars movies I haven't enjoyed as much, but to say that a movie you didn't like "ruined" the others is just ridiculous and hyperbolic.
Maybe some people just need to get a grip and stop acting like hysterical spoiled, over-entitled children.
It's fine to not like things, but wow. If you were wondering just how toxic the fanbases of Star Wars and Pokemon really are, look no further than these comments.
So there was a game/movie you didn't like. It happens. Grow up, move on with your life and let other people enjoy the things they enjoy.
Wow, dude, is this really the hill you want to die on? Internet nerd pedantry at its worst.
Whether you want to call it racist, stereotyping, or culturally insensitive (and unless you're south American indian or pacific Islander, you really have no business in telling anyone else how they should feel about it anyway), content like this has no place on the eShop.
@GameOtaku Just because you enjoyed racist cartoons when you were a kid doesn't mean they weren't racist (nor does it make you a bad person, as you likely didn't know any better). Even Warner Bros acknowledges that those cartoons were racist and has added contextual disclaimers to them on the DVD sets (which I think is a much better idea than banning/vaulting them. We need to own the ugliness of our past culture)
I think some of you are missing the point of why people are disgusted by this. It's not the over the top violence/cannibalism and gallows humor so much as the blatant racism.
I'm really amazed this game was approved for the eShop at all.
A lot of you guys need to learn that porting a game, even one that has been out for a while, to new hardware costs time and money, and so it doesn't always make sense to charge the same rate on other platforms where they have already made their investment back.
@kepsux Have you checked out the 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ ? I like it better than the Pro Controller (which has a decent enough dpad, at least ) - particularly for dpad focused games.
I mean if you don't want to play it then don't buy it. The reason it's so cheap on other platforms is because the development and porting to those platforms was done long ago and they've already made back their investment. But they have now spent more money and time to port it to Switch hardware, so they are going to have to make that money back now. Selling it on Switch at the prices on Steam and other consoles would mean a huge loss at this point.
@RazumikhinPG Hopefully you learned to actually read the articles, or understand the context of them before commenting, then. Whatever your intent was, it matters less than the effect.
@DinnerAndWine Yes it's almost as if the people responsible for porting the game and all of its DLC to new hardware deserve compensation.
Feel free to buy it on another platform where the work was already done and the costs recouped already, thereby allowing them to lower the price, though.
@DinnerAndWine As opposed to people who start arguments and denigrate total strangers in the comment section of a videogame fan/news site?
Just... stop for a minute and take a look in the mirror, dude. Think about all of the time you have now spent behaving like an arrogant fool here and how that relates to the insults you've been hurling at the rest of us, particularly about "having no life".
The reboot movie was fine. It wasn't a travesty, nothing was ruined, and the original movie is still a classic and the sequel is still... okay. It was a fun movie that had flaws but got way too much flak for the fun popcorn action-comedy that it was. I would honestly love to see a sequel with more of Kate McKinnon's Holtzmann but that's unfortunately not going to happen thanks to angry nerds on the internet who just can't let other people enjoy things.
But I'm super excited for this game. As well as the new movie. More Ghostbusters is always a good thing!
People need to calm the hell down. The paid DLC was mostly completed before launch as it was part of the development cycle. And resources are not being diverted away from performance updates and bug fixes for this. This was pre-planned for years, while bug fixes and development updates need to be addressed as these issues pop up, and have a completely separate team that specializes in these kinds of issues working on it.
It's amazing to me how entitled people who have no clue about game development can be.
@Itzdmo Or maybe it's just a style you don't care for. Which is a fine and valid opinion to have but there's no need to wrap it up in some declaration as if you're some kind of revered authority on the subject. You clearly don't understand the context of this game, why people are excited about it, or the appeal of the style for many people.
I will grant you that there are a lot of mediocre games on the eShop that seem to have simply jumped on the pixel art bandwagon that don't use the art style well or in any meaningful way. This isn't one of them. Maybe you're still sick of seeing pixel art altogether - which, again, is fine for you - but maybe get over yourself and let other people enjoy things, or at least provide a take with something of substance.
Rng- Random Number Generation. And it's true that it relies on RNG a lot... Because it's supposed to be a tabletop gaming experience. It's by design. If that sort of thing is not your cup of tea, then games like this aren't going to be your cup of tea. Not sure what people expected as all of the reviews bill this as a tabletop board game/ "D&D lite" experience.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's played this co-op. My partner and I enjoy playing cooperative tabletop games and I feel like this might be a good introduction to D&D type games. How is the learning curve for someone with no experience with RPGs or JRPGs?
The CRT effect is definitely a bit off brand if they're going for a Game Boy vibe, but it's still preferable to the original Game Boy's poor LCD refresh rate and subsequent motion blur.
So, what are the chances that at some point in the future, we might eventually see updates that optimize the game enough to display on the Switch in 1080p, or at least allow for antialiasing?
@Tsurii Different strokes, I guess. I found the GC controllers to be some of the best designed and most comfortable controllers I've ever used - particularly the Wavebirds.
