Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?

Warioware

@Aiodensghost yeah I guess it depends on the games really. Some of them like the MK games, X Com, Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, Doom, Wolfenstein and oddly the Final Fantasy X collection take up tons of space. I probably wasted far too much cash on games pre covid when my business was booming! But I have filled two 1TB cards and have an old 500GB card catching overspill. Games are generally getting bigger and whilst some of the compression on Switch has been impressive, if it goes to PS4 levels for the next console then I can see games heading up to 100GB in download size like on other consoles, so only ten big games per card. I realise this is very much an unimportant problem but like I said I travel around a fair bit and don't always have great internet so constantly downloading large files can be a problem for time and bandwidth. But I think it's a good few years before 2TB cards are affordable (incidentally 1TB cards can be had for about 70 quid these days if you shop around a bit).

Whilst I'm ranting though, I really hope that Nintendo fix their awful save data deletion system in the next model - no idea how much of my system memory is being wasted by demo saves, finished games and the like because after six years it can take five minutes to delete one 8MB save! Please let us delete multiple saves!!

Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?

When it comes to the Switch 2 the conversations usually gravitate towards frame rates, processing power and resolution. But for me storage is one of my biggest issues. My life at present involves a fair bit of moving around and I can't really lug a ton of disks, cards and cases with me, nor do I have a permanent "base" to store them in so digital is the best option for me, something pushed further by the fact that you generally only get a portion of the game files these days, with all the patches, DLC and even full-installation (surely many physical games will be unplayable too in the future when essential files can no longer be diwnloaded?). The problem is that the Switch's entire life-cycle seems to have almost passed and the largest capacity storage card it supports hasn't even been released. So game sizes seem to be growing quicker and larger than the storage needed to support them.

Re: Batman Arkham Trilogy For Switch Has Been Delayed Until December

Warioware

I am interested in this despite buying them all (especially City) before. But because of that I was going to wait for a decent sale. Also, since we are here I think it's a shame that tbey didn't take some of the criticisms of Knight on board and rework it a bit. The excessive and annoying tank sections really pulled me out of what was otherwise a pretty decent Bat tale.

Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility

Warioware

Really needs it in my opinion. And I hope it continues going forward too. Hardware, even well made stuff, generally doesn't last forever and it becomes harder and harder to find repair shops and parts as time passes. Backwards compatability, at the least digital backwards compatability, can help to alleviate this.

Re: Review: Mortal Kombat 1 - A Superb Fighter, But Severely Kompromised On Switch

Warioware

I suspect that this will improve over time and I do want this game on some system or another, preferably Switch, but the last game had so much DLC and even a whole massive expansion with new story and character stuff. I suspect that will be the same here so I think I will wait a year or so on this one when it is the complete edition. Also, at least in Europe, WB games are always doing sales, so...

Re: Beyond Good And Evil 20th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch

Warioware

I still remember buying this when it came out in a Game store in the UK. The cashier told me I was the first person to buy a copy, implying that it was great but selling badly. Loved it though, one of my favourites back in the day. As for the sequel..... well, it was a PS3 game at one point as I recall. Maybe it will get a 20th anniversary release date for twenty years of development at this point.

Re: Taito Milestones 3 Revives More Retro Classics In 2024

Warioware

@gcunit there were loads of good collections at reasonable prices back then. I know nothing about emulation quality but prwtty sure Digital Eclipse were active then too. This is also ININ games sl there is every chance that some expanded or consolidated version of these collections will surface later. The new shady scam some of these companies like to do these days

Re: Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Confirmed For Nintendo Switch

Warioware

Remember when Rigue One came out and some of tge Dusney reps were saying that the story of how the rebels stole the Death Star plans had never been told?? Guess they never played this.....

I had fun with this long ago but I suspect age has probably not been kind here. But I will still jump if it's a good port, nostalgia and all that. And if it is then I hope they put the sequel (s??) on there since I never got to play it (them??). Also, as others are saying how about the X Wing games? And Heir to the Empire and Rogue Squadron games. And since I can't stop talking if anybody from Aspyr (Iknow this oneis Night Dive) is reading where is tge KOTOR 2 DLC??

Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 And 3 Will Have Lower Frame Rates On Switch, Konami Confirms

Warioware

I am not really sensitive to frame rates and probably wouldn't have noticed without the coverage. The sound issue Alex mentioned though..... no. Going 20 odd years here but I am pretty sure all of the Codec lines were voiced so this must be to mask the voiced Playstation buttons. But just to cut the sound? Rather than put a radio distortion sound or even a Kojima-style comedy sound effect? That is really lazy. Atmosphere is a big thing in these games and the voice acting is both famous and infamous. Surely this must of occurred to somebody there?

Re: Hands On: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 Could Be So Much More, But Isn't

Warioware

I thought the Vita collection was great and was impressed by how they compressed it all down into about 3GB. If that's what we are getting here then OK. I might wait a bit to puck it up given that I have bought all the main games at least twice already at this point!

So, what for Volume 2?? Twin Snakes.and MGS 4 perhaps? I remember back in the day that 4 was a huge game (GB wise) for the time.

Hey guys, I know it's much more efficient to update and repost but you might want to check your TWEWY Final Remix post which seems to suggest the end of the series despite the sequel having launched since
