@AJWolfTill You’ve proved my point. Andor was something completely different. It worked. As did Rogue One. All new actors in the same universe. They were their own stories. It was the attempt to replace Han, Luke, and Leia with Temu versions of those characters is what failed. Same reasons why Marvel phase 4 and 5 failed. Replacing well established characters with knock-offs.

We don’t need a female James Bond, or a different ethnicity James Bond, we ALL know who James Bond is, and what he looks like. They want to try to make Jane Bond, or Jerome Bond, or Jian Bond, as a new 00#, I’m cool with it, but please don’t replace James.

@mlt But did they though? When’s the last time we got some interesting updates to that?

@Ryu_Niiyama Careful what you wish for. We got Star Wars without Han, Luke, and Leia, and look how that turned out. 😖

@WhiteTrashGuy Could have gotten it on PS5 but I preordered the S2 version. Figured doing it that way if the game is, how do they say in the world of Bond, *****, I can cancel my preorder. 😉

@splinters Correct, that’s an old post.

@trobby Tried getting back in to it with 3 but my team always gets destroyed. I’m usually #2 or #3 in the group, I don’t do bad relatively compared to the other team, but man I can’t get on a winning team to save my life.

@larryisaman Agree. It feels as if the sequel is already in the original release. I feel like I’m 90% through the game, I just completed the sunken ship mission, but I felt like I was 90% many hours ago.

@Trmn8r You are a lord, gentleman, and a scholar. 😉

@Smerd I put over 100 hours in to it since the update, started from scratch. I have no issues with it. Is it perfect? Not by their standards, but it’s a great game for my 50 year old eyes. As the kids like to say, the 60FPS is bang’n! 😄

@Mgalens I’m playing X now and on chapter 12. You’re spot on. Exploring the planet is a lot of fun. Amazing to think this was all originally on the Wii U. That was a vastly underrated system.

@jsty3105 “Complain more, get a Cloud-version” Hell on earth. 😄

I’d go for no release at that point.

There may be more content in this patch note than what Nintendo has provided in the entirety of the Switch. 😄

@Bunkerneath I did the same thing! Now I just need to make some room for it. I’m completely sucked in to Xenoblade Chronicles X at the moment.

Do these work in PowerWash Simulator 2, or are they only for the original?

😂 Ironically just bought Treasure Tracker and it arrived today.

Question, what do people do with these pins? You’re not going to use them as a tie pin, or lapel pin on your jacket. They’re hard to display. What do you do with them?

Please remove the cloud versions and do a proper release.

@Quarbit The cumulative rate of inflation over the last 17 years is 51.8%. https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

@DanijoEX I get not wanting to spend $80, but $60 isn’t that far off. The difference we’re talking about is practically lunch at McDonald’s in today’s money. Bring your significant other, and you’re over that difference.

Leisure activities have gotten out of control. I use to be in to motorcycles, big time. I stepped away when my son was born. Seventeen years later I’m starting to get the itch again. A BMW GS has increased 100% in that amount of time.

I don’t get it. All these “Pro” controllers are within $10-$20 of the real thing, but often lack important features such as wake. For that small difference why not just get the real thing? Especially when it’s regarded as one of the all-time best controllers on the market.

For me to consider anything else it would need to be in the $29.99-$39.99 USD range.

@Cakefish I’m willing to bet the design was locked in by the time the law was passed and all challenges to it were resolved.

@molkom I’m older now too. Everything I do now “lags.” 😄

Shame on Nintendo for not calling this “Turbo” mode.

Anyone using a PC in the 90’s gets it. 😉

I don’t get it. I have to side with Capcom on this.

If Capcom wanted to use AI couldn’t they just have gone on without him in the first place? I’m sure whatever deal there was in place did not include AI as I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a thing when the last deal was made. Sounds like he shot himself in the foot on this one.

@RudyC3 That’s not how it works. Otherwise McDonald’s coffee lady would have never been a thing or the other similar tens of thousands of cases where people sue big corporations and win big money.

Nintendo needs to add a “Slop” category. 😄

@Lizuka Strong accusation. I had to look it up. Is this what’s got you all worked up? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ivzeOhLk2NU&pp=ygUXYW5kcmV3IHNjaHVseiByYWNlIGpva2U%3D

@tourjeff Maybe they didn’t get developer consoles? 🤷‍♂️

/s 😄

@Blueyesowl83 I did. For real. I’m having a blast with my “broken” upgrade.

And just so you know, all that stuff in the code didn’t magically happen. Someone out in the work to get it there. Is it perfect? No. Whether there will be additional updates? Who knows. If so it wouldn’t be the first time a patch was released for a game.

@Samalik Fixed it just for you. Everything a business does has a budget attached to it. Some projects go over it, some under. Rarely do we know which does what.

I want games to be their best and for developers to improve their work whenever possible. If it means they need to collect additional funds to cover costs then so be it. If they have money left over in the budget to cover it, all the better. Ultimately consumers get to decide whether the investment was worth it.

Enough business 101 for you, I have some Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Upgrade to play.

@Dpullam Funny you should say that, I completely missed X during the Wii U days. Didn’t know it was a thing. I bought this thinking it was the original and it caught me off guard. I didn’t like it either at first, but it has grown on me.

@Samalik Yup. Bought it for the Switch. Awesome thing is that it works fine on the S2 and didn’t have to spend a dime! What’s cool was Monoliftsoft commissioned a team to make a new version of the game and only charge $5 for it, if you want it.

Nintendo isn’t a charity. They take calculated risks to provide a service they believe their customers are looking for. If they do a good job and people like it, they make money and the people remain customers.

They aren’t releasing these new projects out of the kindness of their hearts or to lose money. Only government can get away with taking someone else’s money to give you things for free.

@StorminNorman 😂 The only thing I found is that you feel everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as long as it aligns with yours.

I bought a copy in your honor. 👍

@StorminNorman Oh boy, another intellectual to provide a distinction without a difference.

Blow has been vocal on freedom of choice, and freedom of consequence from choice. He’s not a collective kind of guy.

You’ve made several responses to my post and have yet added anything to the conversation. Why do so many see him as a bad guy? Help us understand.

@Samalik I’d argue Nintendo is a a business and not a charity. Unless it’s a promotion, why would they give anything away?

@BLK_4EVER You are still able to play the original version. You are not forced to upgrade. That said resources were used to make the improvements and to test them. Those people did not work for free and are entitled to receive financial compensation for their time. Would you work for free?

@StorminNorman You couldn’t be any more vague. Where am I wrong?

How is EA Sports NHL 26 considered “new” when it’s been out for months?

@AgentGuapo From what I’ve been learing he’s not a communist or socialist and the hive mentality doesn’t like that.

@Deltarogue 😄 Identical situation. We must have bought it in the same deal. Mine is still sealed.

This looks terrible. I’m not a frame rate nerd, but what is it here? 10, 15 FPS?

Sony, just give us Hell Divers II.

@storyofalex That’s what I did. Although I have such a backlog that if there are any other bugs they’ll be fixed by the time I get to it. 😄

@MattmanForever ah, so he was shilling for those experimental jabs and breathing in your own spittle over and over? Yuck.🤮

@AussieMcBucket That one over there, next to those two.

@storyofalex I had this on my list but waited because of the issues. It’s also now on sale until the first of March. Have you played the update?

@FishyS No pain, no gain. 😉

@Fishmasterflex96 Correct, I was responding to your, “they could make playable games on disc if they wanted to.”

We might be saying the same thing. They could fit the entire game on a disc if they wanted to, but you would still have to install it on to your SSD. They chose not to do that at all for X-Box and only partially for PS5.

@Fishmasterflex96 The transfer speed of a S2 cartridge is roughly 4x (400MB/s) faster than the optical drives of the PS5 and X-Box whatever. Even if that were fast enough, toss in seek times, and it wouldn’t be playable from a disc. Now selling it on a disc and making it download to your SSD is another topic.

@jsty3105 😂 I had to look up “Loaded.” I obviously missed the news CDKeys is no more.
