@ObsidianEleven not everything has to be compared to the pandemic. Even without a pandemic there’s plenty of issues worth fighting about or caring about I’m this world more than anything ever will be in our small individual lives. That doesn’t make my point less valid. Insult, bad decision making, ignorance... tomato ”toe-mah-toe”. All the same. Eroded customer loyalty.
Pretty pissed off, myself. Along with the flood of complaints on the Kickstarter page for all those that backed it. And before you argue: There’s no reason you still can’t get the copies to your backers BEFORE retail outlets. You obviously have that control. There’s also no reason you have to give people that ordered the Switch or PS versions a STEAM code, when you could give them a code for the version they paid for.
IMO, it’s an insult to those that backed the project to get it off the ground. I’m not alone I’m my opinion, whether or not it’s the minority. I do feel though that for those that backed it, and those that don’t have/want to play it on PC, they have a right to be upset.
@javiboy2 game wasn’t very good. Pretty “meh”, which is sad because I really wanted to like it and love the design... ah well. Just saying you didn’t miss much is all.
Played one game at the start and went through all the customization and menus. It’s ok. The design and look is good. Customization is plentiful. The problem is the actual gameplay. Pretty boring and repetitive. Definitely doesn’t suck you in or leave you wanting more. Kinda like playing splatoon with only melee weapons (which is not a good thing). I’m gonna pass.
The current state of wrestling is so horrible and this game is a reflection of that. Characters are all too “real” and with gimmicks gone the whole pagentry of it makes the whole thing lose its appeal.
Just look at the trailer.... ugh.
Go back to the glory days of the 80s and 90s... which I guess is impossible due to licenses and character ownership...
It’s really too bad.
In terms of visuals, I also hate these realistic ones... I’d prefer going back to the retro nWo vs WCW or NoMercy ones....
They want people to buy 3 ports to see if they’ll do a new game? How about you not saturate the market with 3 TY games, which not a large enough number of people care about, and hope that they’ll then pay for a fourth?!?!
Make a new one if you want, make it good, and then you’ll get the 3 people that recognize your IP and the potential new fans buying your game.
The NA one for me is just too classic. I had to vote for it because it shows the roots of where that game came from and the total disconnect between whoever was designing the game and the box art illustrator. It’s total 80’s with the baggy sleeves and just total cheesyness.
Love it.
In this case, opposed to many in the NES era, the box art is misleading in a good way! The box sucks and the game is amazing! 👍🏻
It’s not like they excluded Pokémon and replaced them with nothing... I don’t get the problem. Who cares?!?! Was anyone main-ing Dewgong?!?!?! Was he even in their party ever????? Gimme a break. At some point as Pokemon continues to expand they will have to leave out some. Get over it.
I don’t know if the reviewers actually played the switch version. The graphics are just horrid with so much jagged edges and blending issues it takes you right out of what should be an immersive experience.
The follow up to Oxenfree is nothing like it should be.
The conversation mechanic is worse, in that you don’t interrupt people if you press a dialogue option early, which was a nice realistic approach Oxenfree took.
The story is also much slower and the levels are very isometric. No depth or even height to play with.
I don’t know what they did, but this follow up is a huge step backwards.
This game is perfection. So enjoyable in coop or vs. World maker is super fun and the worlds I’ve played have been perfectly balanced. I’m very surprised to see the negative comments. I can’t find any issue aside from the lag at times... but it’s forgivable and at times I think it helps me win, so I’ll take it! 😉
@RileyR your guess is as good as anyone’s! They ignored all the marvel ultimate alliance DLC releases and costume packs, choosing to put up 100 animal crossing articles.... They can’t cover everything, but they sure do skip some obvious stuff...
I was super hyped seeing this in the Direct a ways back, thinking it was a switch exclusive, but then realized this is a port and as others have said above, it’s received HORRIBLE reviews.
Not willing to throw away $20 so likely a pass for me unless some review comes out identifying huge improvements.
Love it. Already unlocked it and really like the look and clean colours. I have RFA so the music is familiar and seeing Kipp on the main board is awesome.
This all said, I feel that DRAGEAUX is a shoe in for being a new fighter in SMASH during this upcoming DLC PASS.
Look, people can only take so much news about death and corona and the inevitable apocalypse that is sure to come from all this... so let them report on stupid things like this. It’ll all be over soon anyways.
Done. Wish there was a spot to note that you need to diversify your switch coverage. Way too much animal crossing vs 0 marvel ultimate alliance DLC coverage. Keep it balanced!
I have a few Qubic games and love em. Mana Spark is great fun and really loved the quality of it. That said, some games are not great, so you do have to be careful... I’ll keep my eye on DEX for sure, and will likely wait for a crazy sale as Qubic very regularly has good sales.
I remember as a kid always hating how the wanted poster for bowser was “hidden” in the NA version. Seeing it so clearly in the JAP cover makes me even more sad! It’s so cool. JAP by a mile.
Heard about this last week in the NVC podcast and was like “what game?” because the guy was saying how great it was and none of the other hosts seemed to have heard of it before either! So I looked it up and was interested... and now this 9/10 review!?
@datamonkey I wanted to love Mario+Rabbids but I missed the diversity of characters to play with and the cosmetic options that XCOM allows. If they could just add a bunch of characters to M+R and some character customization options I’d buy that instead!!!
@setezerocinco The box is nice for display purposes, and as long as there’s a cartridge at all (unlike Overwatch), the at least you can sell/trade the game if you choose. For this reason I’ll buy physical regardless of the download required.
They would have been smarter to make it a display piece as others have said. I’ll admit I did buy this tipis set, but really I think I just want the Mario figure to display and the rest I’ll dump/give away.
@SwitchForce MUA3 had very good sales, and more importantly it’s not like this website has a LIMIT on how many stories they can write, THAT’S my point. It was great info coming out of the marvel Twitter daily for a week will the DLC dropped, and the costumes were plentiful and well done! For those that don’t already own the game, this is the kinda thing that could interest people in purchasing it! It’s got tons of content and perhaps worth considering if you have nothing really to play during quarantine.
They put up this article, yet Marvel Ultimate Alliance had a huge DLC drop and tons of awesome alternate costumes released with not a peep... Not everything has to be AC related, you know?!?!
Another problem with this mass release of all the borderlands is that you effectively split the online community into three different pools... so we have a smaller group to play each one with... Unlike if you released one at a time spread out, much of the community could pass on to the newest game as they came out... even if you did it quarterly it would be something... Just another thought.
Wish they had just made borderlands 3... downgrade it, do whatever... but for me to play these grinding games again is a bit much for me... I’ll grind something NEW, but won’t bother here...
Never played. COM 2 and always wanted to though, so I’m in for that for sure.
The Xbox brand has just gone absolutely downhill for me since Xbox one. Their redesign of the interface over the years with 360 just got worse and worse, showing they had no idea what customers wanted. Now it’s a hardware race that leaves quality games as an afterthought... Nintendo has the chance to just destroy the competition if only they could maintain a solid flow of AAA first party titles. If they can get BOTW2 out, and a Metroid, and maybe even another Mario Odyssey out, it could really be a funeral for Xbox. Sony will stay around due to Asian markets and their history, but XBOX won’t survive.
If COVID19 lasts as well, a lot of people with financial constraints will also be limited from purchasing any new $500+ system...
Wish they had just made it a normal LEGO creation.... don’t like this giant figure... it’s like a Weeble... seems overly childish. LEGO knows it’s gone be a bunch of adults buying this right?!?!
@Kochambra It was free. Micro transactions doesn’t change that. There was nothing you needed to pay for to beat that game or enjoy it to the fullest. If you wanted things faster, sure, but wasn’t necessary. It’s not a PVP game where you’d be at a disadvantage....
This game is/was free on iOS and I played it a ton. Very hard in later parts but great fun. That said, it’s FREE. To pay over $10 is pretty crazy... can’t see that it’s worth that.

Re: Reminder: Ninjala's Open Beta Starts Today, Join In On Switch For Free
Tetris has a physical release.
So if this game ends up releasing some dlc and I can instead get it in a cartridge, I’d do that.
Re: Indivisible Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch, But The Developer Isn't Happy
Really too bad.
And I’ll probably never know if this game gets patched or received the dlc, so I’ll likely never buy it.... shame.

Re: Dandy Dungeon Gets Free DLC Which Doubles The Size Of The Game

It was free. Micro transactions doesn’t change that.

It’s not a PVP game where you’d be at a disadvantage....
