@KryptoniteKrunch Well in fairness Activision have very little to do with this game. They own Crash, but both N.Sane Trilogy and this were outsourced. Both devs seem real cool too.
@Petriebird It's hard to say, they're fundamentally very different. Mario Kart is easier to get into and is less complex so it's a better causal game to chill with. CTR has a lot more depth, is far less luck based and has the potential to be a lot more fun, but it'll take a bit to get the hang of and it's not great with friends if they're new to the game. I prefer CTR, but it really comes down to preference. Worth keeping in mind it's 20 bucks less though.
@EasyDaRon There's nothing superficial about it, new content is new content. No one said they needed this constant drip of content to stay interested in the game, it's just an amazing game that just so happens to be getting new content cause Beenox are cool dudes. Hell, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe hasn't gotten any substantial content added since launch, but people are still interested cause it's just fun. This free content is just a nice bonus along with some quality of life changes, there's absolutely zero downside.
I don't think it's fair to say that microtransactions are 'forced'. The microtransactions are not related to the Krypt which is where the issues lie. They're actually not very useful at all in fairness, almost like they're there out of obligation cause WB demanded it.
I'm really happy this game is still getting updated cause the lack of content was the one thing holding it back, but getting an opening cutscene only now seems a bit strange. That seems like the kinda thing you just have or you don't.
This is amazing, I'll definitely be double dipping on this, this was my favourite game of last year. Props to the devs for porting it despite all the pressure they got too.
The core gameplay is fun enough to keep me playing, but there are major issues that have been ignored that should've been patched by now. This is Nintendo's Street Fighter V currently, although unlike Capcom, I don't know if they're racing to fix these issues.
@Desa Thought that'd be the one that would set people off. 👏 we 👏can 👏love 👏whatever 👏we 👏want 👏and 👏not 👏be 👏under 👏any 👏obligation 👏to 👏do 👏anything 👏 It's pretty blunt, but he's completely right. If this was his first response to the matter, it could be seen as a bit dismissive, but considering this was after constant pressure from fans and 'fans', this is probably what they needed to hear.
Don't really see what's unprofessional here. People asked if it was happening and they said it wasn't. Seems like people are looking for things to fuss about cause they aren't being spoonfed games.
Meh, it's no PUBG, but either way more games like this on the Switch is good. Besides, while the game is nowhere near as good, the Fortnite devs are way nicer than the PUBG devs, so I'm happy to support them.
I'm fine with this, these are fads I'm glad Nintendo are bypassing. VR is cool, but unnecessary, and 4K should stay with PC with how hard it is to achieve.
@QwertyQwerty Of course, the Switch isn't going near 4k anytime soon, 4k on console is a bit daft if you ask me. Still shouldn't be much of a size difference, maybe 12GBs less total at least.
This actually looks really neat, and I'm not one for RPG's. Shame the comments on stream were mostly 'BOOOOORING WHERE'S SMASHHHH'. This is certainly worth keeping an eye on.

This is one of those things that kinda makes sense but is also terrible at the same time lmao

This is absolutely amazing support, Team Sonic Racing should be talking notes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 22nd)
@Aneira Don't blame you, they're really different mechanically and set out to achieve different things. I prefer CTR myself but it's very subjective.
Re: The Next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Update Will Be Released This Week
I'd hope for K.Rool buffs, but after he won that major in Australia I'm a lil unsure.
Re: Random: Evil Dead's Ash Will Not Be Appearing In Mortal Kombat 11 As A DLC Fighter
This is 100% damage control, Ash is pretty much confirmed, all his intro dialogue is in the game. That or it's just a different character called Ash.

Re: Kitana Graces Us With Her Presence In The Latest Mortal Kombat 11 Trailer
Kitana looks cool, but D'Vorah absolutely blew me away. Absolutely a character I'll try out, beyond excited for this game.
Re: Jet Set Radio Series Tops Sega AGES Poll As Most Wanted Retro Release
I'd take Daytona first if we could somehow get an arcade port, but this would be my next choice for sure.

Re: Soapbox: The Super Mario Movie Might Not Be All That Great
Giving the Mario Movie to Illuminaton is like putting a €300 steak in a manky McDonald's meat grinder.
Even if by some miracle the movie is good I'd sooner give EA money than Illumination.

Re: Nintendo Reiterates That It's Not Interested In Virtual Reality Or 4K Support
I'm fine with this, these are fads I'm glad Nintendo are bypassing. VR is cool, but unnecessary, and 4K should stay with PC with how hard it is to achieve.
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Ages of Pearl and Marina
They were probably gonna make them younger to deter a certain demographic of artists and such but then realized it wouldn't stop them.
Nothing will.

For the love of god anyone but Illumination there are diseases more enjoyable than their movies.
Re: A Sonic Mania Patch is Rolling Out, Includes Switch HOME Button Fix
The Super Sonic button is a godsend, makes such a huge difference honestly, I no longer have to be scared when I jump now.
I wonder if we'll ever get new content for this game.

Almost 100% sure it'll be nothing like that.
