Gross, now we have people wanting to print boxes just to put on a shelf?. What Are you gonna put in it? Just have an empty case on the shelf? I guess physical is a disease.
@Keywork dude it’s a hardware issue. It’s not a player issue. As I stated in a post above out of the 4 switches I’ve bought at launch 3 came with faulty controllers. Drifting is a real issue. It doesn’t affect everyone, but it’s a real thing.
@AlternateButtons What a disgusting personality you have. You must have tons of friends. Bottom line is that the hardware is faulty and I’m glad someone is calling them out on it.
I’ve bought 4 switches since launch. 2 for my business and 2 for home, 3 of those the switches came with faulty drifting cons. The cons in the store see lots of abuse by kids- yet only 1 of those pairs drifts. The second set of Switch consoles dont get handled play (docked only) in an adult house hold yet both of joy cons drift even though most of the time a pro controller is used. Yes, the issue is real and no it doesn’t affect everyone. I’m guessing it has to do when or where these were manufactured. Something, somewhere went wrong and I’m tired of having to pay for new cons when I had nothing to do with this.
@TeslaChippie @wildvine53 I don’t think you guys get it. It’s not the fact that animations being reused is an issue. We’re use to them reusing models- it’s been this way since the begging of the franchise. It’s the fact that it they’re excusing their lack of Pokemon/features/etc. because they had to create “higher quality animations” when they clearly didn’t. The animations and models are the same.
@Kinpatsu The problem with this strategy is that if they don’t sell enough, they will simply translate that as “it didn’t perform, let’s not make another one for a while”. They’re basically going to punish fans either way. Damned if u buy, damned if you don’t.
I agree with the majority of people, they didn’t do better with animations. It’s almost like they got used to the fan base buying their incomplete first iteration of the game, because they know we’re gonna buy their complete version a year or two later (ex yellow, crystal, emerald, black 2, etc.).
In a way we only have ourselves to blame. We’ve been buying all their “limitation” excuses since the beginning. Now they feel like they can keep using those excuses. We’re the ones that contributed to their laziness and possibly stunted their growth in design.
The other day my friends were trying to borrow my games (which I hate ). Luckly all my games are digital so I smiled and said, “sorry, all my games digital.” 😂😈
The whole- low tier/top tier thing in Melee is stupid. You’re stuck playing with 3-4 characters that are the only competitive ones. No thanks. Ultimate for the win.
Yet another reason to go digital and never look back. Now you have an unbalanced version sitting in a cart that has a broken and incomplete Version of the game. Digital is the future. The end.
This is why digital is better. In this day and age we shouldn’t have to be worried about media limitations. When the software starts to suffer because of media limitations, it’s time to move on from it and look to the future- which is digital! I’m going to blame this on the physical community. Y’all need to adapt, I’m not ok with being shorted because of your OCD ways of wanting boxes and cartridges for a mostly portable system.
@Bass_X0 well said. I completely agree. Change with the times, or face the fact that you’re turning into your grandparents and refuse change. The digital era is upon us!!!
Oh wait, I’m not one of those backward OCD people that need to have something to hold to enjoy a game and feel complete in their life. Digital all the way! Let’s go!
@mozzy1 speak for yourself. I want digital media. Some of use have moved into the future, while people like you, still live in the past with a plastic box and an incomplete game. I’ll take Convenience over a plastic box that will sit on a shelf and collect dust.
@Dirty0814 They must not be “gamers” then, they are just in it to collect boxes on a shelf so their non-existent friends can gawk at their marvelous, incomplete game collection. By incomplete I mean all the patches, dlc, and free context updates that aren’t on that cart.
Seems like the digital age is upon us. I love it! Either embrace it or don’t ever play games again. Physical users seem to be the minority more and more everyday. I give it 2 more years before everything goes digital! Whooo-hoo!
Good riddance! Everyone that failed to evolve with the times like Melee. It was good for it’s time, now shut it and move on. Time to get good on ultimate the best smash to date.
@Anti-Matter it will be a thing of the past. If you don’t adapt then you probably won’t be playing games 5-10 years from now. Why physical? Nowadays you aren’t event getting the full game. Any extra content, add-ons, or bug fixes are via digital download. Ya’ll buying an older version of the game before it’s even released.
@Level_Up lol! Go team digital! They want boxes well they got boxes. 😂 I mean they like to sit and look at their boxes and read them right? This should be considered bonus reading material.
@AxeltheBuizel Ha! We think alike. Gen 1 is overrated but Farfetch’d is my favorite Pokémon of that generation. I’d buy the Farfetch’d shirt in a heartbeat!
@Royalblues I will agree on what some people are saying that maybe in their country games are more expensive. I lived in Mexico for 6 months but I was never able to check out their e-shop. I always assumed it was the same as ours. For anyone else tho, if you feel like a you have to own the whole product including the box, you need to stop kidding yourself. You aren’t getting the entire game, nowadays DLC/Updates (paid or free) is just around the corner and that physical copy you have there is only some of the game- the rest is sitting in your digital library. Many times a broken and unplayable game becomes playable again thanks to digital downloads and game updates.
In regards to BC. Why bother preserving games or adding BC when people will eat up all the lazy ports and re-re-re-re-re-leases every time. Milk the cow until they stop buyin’ it, nothing wrong there.
@Royalblues Seriously! Just go digital. Invest in a decently priced SD card and you’re good to go. You don’t ever need to swap out memory cards. Most of the people that want to “show off” their collection or “want to see it on a shelf” don’t even have real human friends to show it off to. Digital is the future. Usually the ones that want physical games are the old school gamers that don’t embrace evolving and changing times of the industry and format- that my friends, is how you become your grandparents....
I’d buy them. It’s unfortunate that Mario party and Pokémon let’s go force you to use a horrible control scheme instead of allowing use of the pro controller. These are made for this type of game.
@Scottwood101 playing with the uncomfortable joy cons is a valid reason. It’s a terrible controller for adults. Maybe you have small hands so it’s not an issue for you- everyone else that has regular sized hands has an issue with this.
The one thing that bother me to no end is the fact that there’s no pro controller support. Maybe for Japanese players the controllers are idea for gameplay but my hands aren’t tiny. I just had to buy some joycon grips to make this playable. My partner wants to play this game and I don’t really want to say no because I love Pokémon, but I am honestly not looking forward to playing this. It looks like a dumbed down version of what I used to love.
Omg!!!! Could be another sub-par Sonic title no has been asking for?!?! Oh the excitement!!! Or is it something completely new that no one cares about because their reputation for making anything, but good 2-D side scrollers is in shambles?!?!
Mr. blame it all needs a crutch so that he feels like he’s doing something. I can’t belive everything that’s happening in my country. Disgusting doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Did anyone else find this game too difficult? I love FE warriors because the difficulty is just right. I remember that this game was super hard even when I had my characters at LVL 120+ I couldn’t even get past half of the twilight map
I’ve embraced digital since the launch of the 3DS. Ever since then I had nothing but digital and have never looked back. It’s wonderful having all my games at a touch of a button everywhere I go. Less space wasted and less clutter. I’m ready for an all digital age!!!!
I see a lot of people are against digital but I’m pretty sure it’s mostly the older crowd. Even tho im an 80’s kid, I’m glad I’ve been able to adjust and embrace digital games.
Incredibly disappointing. In reality digital games should be cheaper and/or have higher reward percentages. This whole reward system just gets worse and worse. I honestly rather have nothing than to have something so paltry that it actually hurts. A better amount should have been 3% physical and 10% digital.
At this point all the recent games have been mostly terrible that Sonic’s image has been destroyed. It’s time Sonic is put out to rest. I don’t mean to be negative but hopefully this will be the movie that will retire him for good.
In Regina George voice (mean girls)
Stop trying to make Sonic happen! It’s never gonna happen!
I kickstarted this and after who knows how many years its finally out. Unlike other Duds I’ve backed, this one is actually fun. I love the defense tower sections. I’m gonna recommend this one for sure.
Is it just me or was this game incredibly difficult? I'm not talking about the main game, I'm refering to the DLC. I felt like it was too brutal so I gave up. All my characters were level 100-110 and I still couldn't get through it. I couldn't get past more than 3 majoras mask missions. I felt like Fire Emblem Warriors was better balanced on the difficulty.
@the8thark I agree with you on the scores that are given on this website are not what they used to be. I used to love coming to a place where reviews felt honest and scores not inflated as they seem nowadays. I’ve been having to compare with other sites before making an educated decision. Usually a 9 from NL really means a 6 or 7. Score don’t mean anything anymore. I truly believe that pay for scores is at play here. They just should just be honest about it.
I’m just laughing at all the people who still have hopes and dreams of a good Sonic game after 8 hideous games. At this point it seems that colors and generations ended up being unintentionally good lol. Retire sonic already. Remove him from Smash Bros. He doesn’t even deserve to be there. Way more worthy characters with better games.
