@D_Cybercherries Thanks for providing some extra information that the review (unfortunately) did not cover. It's always a good sign when the time is taken to address the community's concerns. I'm definitely interested in this game now and will probably pick it up soon! 😀
@Sean161 Well if you think that articles such as this one are pointless then simply don't read it or comment on it. You could instead just leave that to other people who are interested in discussing the possibilities of new hardware? That's an easy solution for you.
@Timppis Mate, it was simply a joke. And like others on here have already stated, I also do not believe that it was intended to be comprehended as the "racist bull" which you are vehemently claiming it to be. Quite frankly, your own aggressive and condescending comments are more offensive than a simple and light-hearted jest.
@Jojo2001 "So please, don't assume everything is meant to be racist, because it just isn't." Well said 👍
After reading multiple reviews and watching gameplay videos I feel that a more appropriate title for Death Stranding would have been Fetch Quest: The Game.
@Anti-Matter Hmm I don't think the white really makes it look any rarer or more expensive but if you mean innocent as in looking like a childs device then yeah, I can see that. Personally I think the white colouring makes it look too much like a toy... but I guess that's the effect you're going for. You could always just get one of those brightly coloured Switch Lites instead if you dislike the standard black model that much.
@Anti-Matter I doubt you'll see a white coloured Switch anytime soon. Plus the standard dark colour hardware makes the Switch look much more sleek and compact than a white version ever could 👍
@PickledKong64 Yes that is true though unfortunately Alzheimer's isn't just a psychological illness. What basically happens is that a form of protein builds up excessively in the brain which leads to neurons being destroyed. The psychological symptoms and memory loss etc. is a result of the cell damage. Research has shown that cannabis oil can slow down the production of this type of protein but it still isn't a cure.
@PickledKong64 Well I know that cannabis oil is thought to slow the progress of Alzheimer's but I think we are still a long way off from an actual cure, if there is one.
I may not like Just Dance games but I definitely appreciate what Ubisoft is trying to do here. My grandfather died from Alzheimer's and I currently have another 2 people in my family with the same problem... it's horrifying to just helplessly watch this condition slowly but surely destroy a person, knowing that it will eventually kill them.
@Silly_G Lol I'd love to see which other horrible games he would showcase on his YouTube channel if he had one. It seems that "looking cute" is the most important part of any game for him no matter how bad the game itself actually is.
4/10? That score seems to be at least 2 points too generous. I feel sorry for any clueless parents who simply don't realise how bad a game like this really is, then waste their money buying this garbage for their kids.
@Anti-Matter Lol... I'm surprised that you even play fighting games seeing as how they are based on violence and considering your obsessive hatred for games that have mature themes and/or mature content. Also, Smash is a great fighting game... you should give it a chance.
@LeatherCorpse Lol. Exactly what I was wondering about Anti's antics... but I suppose if you're avoiding any and all M Rated media like the plague, as he does, then you have to take whatever you can get.
What a shame. Now when it releases all the 12 year old kids who play it won't have the chance to be utterly blown away with this amazing news: that swimming mechanics are being added to a video game(!)
Sarcasm aside though, yeah he definitely screwed up on his end and now he'll have to deal with the consequences. It was quite a silly act on his part.
Although this title seems to look decent from what I have seen, not having played it personally, Brawhalla will likely remain as my go-to for a fun Smash alternative. I found myself enjoying that game a lot more than I initially thought I would.
@PhilKenSebben Yeah I agree, better off just forking out some cash for Skyrim instead of bothering with this trash F2P version. As much as I like the Eldar Scrolls series, the idea of turning these massive rpg games into a watered down F2P experience does not sit well with me at all. And I'll also add Paladins to your suggestions for decent free alternative games 👍
I found this game not too long ago, it's actually quite good! I'd probably even buy it for Switch if it ever got a console release though I don't see that happening.
If they can work out a solution to replace the lightguns with an acceptable alternative aiming scheme then I will be all over these games. Absolutely loved them back in the day.
@Tucker777 I have Bastion on ps4 and overall I quite enjoyed it. The narrator gives it some great atmosphere and while the combat can get a tad repetitive, the customisation options make up for that. The gameplay is fairly addictive and yes, personally, I would recommend it. Especially if it's going for a cheap price. I hope this helps you in making a decision ☺
Well right now I'm playing through A Link to the Past and will probably jump on Paladins for a while afterwards... but I am very tempted to double dip on Torchlight II.

@mr_eman I understand what you mean but for a fan production, which has limited resources, it is a good effort.

Re: The Outer Worlds Is Launching On Switch "Some Time" Before The End Of March 2020
Well I'm fine with that release date, I have plenty of new stuff to play while I'm waiting. I just hope they do a good job with the Switch version.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Its Best Black Friday Deals For 2019 (North America)
@Dman10 $20 off. I very much doubt that Nintendo would ever drop the price to just $20, even for the Black Friday sales.

@TurboTEF I very much doubt that will happen, there won't be an updated physical version with all the DLC bundled on it.
Re: Review: Ritual: Crown Of Horns - Brutal Yet Rewarding Horror Action
@suikoden Yeah have to agree with you there it definitely looks like a F2P mobile game...

Re: Balthazar's Dream Has You Playing As A Dog On A Mission To Save Its Owner
@KitsuneNight Yeah heard of it but have never played it, looks like a pretty relaxed game from what I've seen.
Re: Balthazar's Dream Has You Playing As A Dog On A Mission To Save Its Owner
Hmm looks interesting, will keep an eye on this one. Any game that lets you play as a dog should be good fun.

Re: Random: This Switch Game Manual Has Controls For The Wrong Platform
@blecch Agreed! The most shocking thing was indeed that the game box actually came with a manual. Ah how I miss those days.
