Deserved. After years of trying to get back to the pokémon tcg but being unsure where to begin with I bought the battle academy and now it got me and three of my friends back into collecting cards and batteling each other.
@COVIDberry Im sure one football player makes way more money then an avarege EA employee. The company sure makes a lot of money but most of it goes to paychecks and stuff like that. I doubt that Zlatan has a whole company of people to feed.
@GameOtaku Everyone and their mums are well aware of this fact. They simply chose to call him Baby Yoda as it does have a better sound and feel to it than just "The Child".
@scoobdoo I for one am excited for this one. Played XIII way back when it released and loved it. Its kind of a forgotten hidden gem imho so Im glad more people will get to expirience it. I am a bit worried that it might not be attractive for newcomers tho as it often is with remakes of old games that only people with nostalgia for it can enjoy since they're overlooking the outdated mechanics
@Dang69 I quite frequently play squads with one of my friend on Xbox and other on PC (No fill, just the three of us) and we do manage to get a win every now and then and I haven't really struggeled in a team fights. If I did it certainly wasnt bad enough for me to even remember tbh
@Dang69 Gyro in fortnite before this update was acutally quite good once you got used to it. The performance also got a lot better then it was before, recently physics was enabled aswell so if your character has any "loose" parts like ponytail or pieces of cloth hanging around, it finally actually moves like it should instead of just lookin awkward so yes the performence is aslo a lot better than it used to be imo
I am all for this. Switch was my entry point to the nintendo family so I respect people loving nintendo for their inovations but if the next Nintendo console won't be a better version of the switch and will just try to tie me down to a couch in front of a tv again I don't think I'd buy it.
The Long Dark for me. Will buy Ori later on but I still havent got around to buy and finish the first one which I want to do before diving into the second one
@-Green- yup, but I've heard that this story takes place in a different time or something so not really related to the game as far as the cast goes. The Dragons itself isnt Grigori from the game
@RazumikhinPG yup, but we atleast get an idea of how far the developement has gone. I belive its unlikely to have it released this year but it could also be possible that it will be ubisofts holiday release.
@Spanish_Bread You should join the games discord server. There are often people putting a group together to have enough people to play with so instead of just waiting for an online game to pop up, you could just get a party together via the discord
I love how he owned it. Ngl I do kinda wanna buy this book now. Its been a while since I read one and it might be fun reading a book with unintended botw easter eggs.
@Benhop07 They both ripped from each other to be fair. Also Barik plays really differently from Torbjorn but I see what you mean. Also Paladins has a lot more depth and customization then ow. I mean, every Soldier 76 you meet will always be the same, every Viktor you'll meet wont, because people dont have to adjust their playstyle to a certain character, they can adjust the character to their playstyle.
@Ragdoll72 Bugs, yes. Paywalls? No, there is nothing in Paladins that you'd have to buy to have to full expirience or to gain an upper edge, its all simply cosmetics. Blizzard Polish is the only thing that Paladins is missing that overwatch has. I also am fine with a free to play game selling lootboxes rather then buy to play game selling them
@Ragdoll72 I'd say they are making better versions of the games they get inspired by. Paladins for example has so much more depth then OW will ever have
@JordonAM Don't know why anyone woul have to be joking about liking realm royale more. Some people just dont like the building aspect of fortnite. I do prefere fortnite over RR only because of its bigger player base, RR is quite abandoned now and its prime time is over but it is nice to play a game where once you'll take a shot, someone won't build a 5* hotel with a free wifi in a second
@playstation_king He said two times that they werent polished, not that they were bad. Which is true Bethesda is known for two things really: Always lying Todd Howards and their games being a bugfest. Those two things have been memed for ages now. This is a (g)old one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFcLyDb6niA
Their games used to be really fun but also incredibly bugged.
@Kalmaro I don't think "special item" confirms a pay-to-win model. It might just mean a special cosmetic item like in overwatch where the skins have rarity with legendary being the most expensive and having a lower chance to drop from a loot box. Let's just wait and see before jumping to conclusions.
@The-Chosen-one This year. We don't know any more details. They are often giving away alpha keys but only for PC, Xbox and PS tho. I believe Nintendo won't let you put a game in the store unless its released. Thats why we dont really have early access games.
@Kalmaro That is understandable. Hopefully Im not coming off as aggresive or anything, I was just really curious. It just kinda makes me sad for the devs when people don't want to try a game out because of its model but I do respect your opinion
@Kalmaro I still don't understand why that bothers people. I mean it is additional content that has no effect on the gameplay itself, completely optional. Splatoon is a Nintendo game, its not really a fair comparison because if Im not mistaken then Ninjala is made by an indie studio that if they'd release the game as buytoplay with no microtransaction, it might not generate enough money for them to be able to support it after release. Free2Play has few good things about it for the devs. No price to play means more people will try it and might actually end up playing regulary. More players = less waiting time for a match = better chance at fair matchmaking = more people playing regulary. Selling cosmetics for people that want to support the devs and look different in the game will generate money throughout the games lifetime thus providing a paycheck for the devs and gives them a reason to keep the updates rolling. I do understand why people are sceptical about F2P games as there is a chance they'll might end up pay2win, but I just don't understand why people are against F2P games in general.

@JellyPop the playing mat and the big flip coin included in it are worth it imo. Its the only mat me and my friends use now.

Re: Feature: Rogue Company Goes Free-To-Play - We Speak To The Devs About The Latest Update
The best competetive shooter on the switch. I mean, constant 60 FPS is just a huge flex by Firewatch games.

@Orangezap89 probably because people dont really care

It has changed a LOT from the "BOTW" version we saw before.
Re: Video: Meet The Characters In Netflix's Upcoming Dragon's Dogma Series
@ThatNyteDaez It should be a different dragon, not Grigori. My guess is we'll learn its name in the show

@-Green- yup, but I've heard that this story takes place in a different time or something so not really related to the game as far as the cast goes. The Dragons itself isnt Grigori from the game

Kinda mixed feelings about warhammer. I prefer fantasy warhammer to 40k but not age of sigmar so I'll wait for reviews and gameplay video.
Spellbreak is a nice surprise to launch in a couple of days. Its free so will definetly try that

Re: Ninjala Datamine Suggests A Sonic The Hedgehog Collab Might Be Happening
I really do appreciate this line: “Before buying Jala, be sure to get permission from your parents or buy it together!”
Tho its common sense, I don't really see that in game with micro transactions and it just might stop some kid from buying before asking.
Re: Ninjala Datamine Suggests A Sonic The Hedgehog Collab Might Be Happening
