@Tasuki Ditto. My son is pissed at me - another collection I let go. Had them all from that same issue 1 forward.

I happened to be there inside the Louver this spring a few days before the S2 hands on event down the street at the Petit Palais (if memory serves) . The Louver was crawling with folks wearing N shirts, ID cards, and 3DS around their necks. Because my son and I are super fans we surmised they were the event staff for the hands on. We were mega hyped because we (like everyone else) had just watched the N Sdirect S2 reveal. TLDR: My son spent his entire Louver visit begging me to try and mooch a couple of invites to the S2 event off these folks - as if my wife would have even let us waste a vacation day on that boondoggle haha. I think we were at Disney Paris that day anyway lol. Anyway, now I get why N assigned all these folks a loaner 3DS rather than get a legit tour guide for their group.

@Elektrogeist1287 +300 hrs to 100% 1st playthrough and now directly into 2nd playthrough as female V. Its sooooo damn good.

@Jarodlaraus 100% the GCK crying is so disingenuous, hyperbolic, and contrived. In a world where Walmart is carrying fewer and fewer physical games (because the lion's are digital sales) we're supposed to be mad at Nintendo for giving publishers (yes, its a PUBLISHING decision) a low-cost option? Please spare me.

@Shepdawg1 I am so over the faux GKC dramz. Buy them or boycott - do you. But can we stop the clearly pointless crying about it already?

@Metazoxan Occam's razor is real. However, I don't think it takes a 4D level brain power calculation. It's a crescendo on purpose. That's all. Strategic dev kit allocation is part of it. Not their first rodeo.

@LazyDaisy Because it reneges on previously committed date, which could have been/should have been part of the buyer's purchase decision, thereby making the buyer consciously re up and accept the new terms (updated release date) i.e. re pre ordering. Its a very simple/smart liability play on Nintendo's part.

Translation:
It's all hands on deck fixing the broken game we shipped on all other platforms, and the resulting PR nightmare, and we don't have the bandwidth to do anything that would add to the cluster.

Fine by me. "AAA Day-and-date" mean nothing if we get the garbage the "AAA consoles" get. Give me Cyberpunk 2025, not Cyberpunk 2020 - all day every day. Happy to wait .

@Waxifari PS - Dont sleep on the anime on Netflix - but only after about 10-20 hours of game because there are a lot of inside lingo and lore that wont make sense otherwise.

@abbyhitter Bought at launch on a whim (support game on cart, not ga ga for MK) have not PUT IT DOWN since. +170 hours in still new missions, mission types, and tons to do. Totally scratched by Bethesda itch and surpassed anything ive ever played from said studio. Point being - a) your in for a treat and likely a new top 5 game for you, b) get on it

Onn Walmart cards are by far the best value - if you can find them. Why not mentioned here?!?!?!

Loved 64 but also the GC version was fantastic. Really miss the series and MC World is a bit of a not so subtle tease. Kinda doubt we'll ever see one again as the novelty of jet skis kind went the way of inline skates.

The subtitle gave me thoughts of a two-player game. Don't think that's accurate however - only wishful thinking.

100% plausible

@UpToFourPlayers lol 100%

Part of the letdown was a result of the unfounded rumor hype for sure. But even on its own merit, it was very underwhelming for console that we want to see gaining steam not coasting.

I think Nintendo strategy may be intentionally treading water up to holiday, targeting/exhausting primarily early adopter loyalists. Then pivot to full tilt normie blitz with the heavy hitters. At least that's how it feels and makes sense from a supply chain perspective.

@Rice Agree, unfortunately (meaning there weren't many highlights/low bar lol)

@OldGamer999

Seriously. This is pure spin. Anyone would talke 60fps >>>>> cross platform.

@Audiogore0733
Putting how they run on S2 aside...

Both ports were buggy on S1. BL3 in particular constantly crashed on my S1 OLED and/or bounced me from online matches. This seemed to be less frequent on my OG launch S1 but still happened time to time.

So from my perspective/experience BL3 was a broken port from day 1. Doubt this will ever get addressed especially since Gearbox doesn't own the port. But its a total tease to see BL3 running at 60fps super smooth on S2 until it flickers/screen tears into oblivion and also eventually crashes out.

Cautiously optimistic. BL fan since day 1 on XB360 but the ports to S1 were garbage. If GB deliver a solid version with good controls/motion, a la Cyberpunk, I am in.

TLDR: Duh

In other news the sky is blue.

Get a screen protector on that thing ASAP, you're playing with fire. Highly malleable soft plastic fire.

It's a great version of the game. I feel like S2 owners just slid in at the apex of this games renaissance, side stepping all the launch drama and struggles, getting straight to the good stuff and with a very capable version. Lucky us.
