Re: Talking Point: Remember When People Thought Switch Would Fail?

To be honest I thought too it was going to fail, not because I didn't like the Switch, in fact I loved the concept, but I thought not many people would like a hybrid console like this. Moreover after the flop of the Wii U many experts were sure Nintendo was going to lose the "console war" definitively (of course there was always the 3DS and its potential successor). I'm glad I was wrong, all things considered.

@Baker1000 I don't know how many times I disagreed with NintendoLife's reviews...not that this is a masterpiece or anything like that, but don't always trust reviews blindly, you have to play a game to be sure it's decent or not. For me, without the bugs, this is a 6/10 game. It could have been a 8/10 game, if only the developers gave you more hints on where to go and what to do, and if the map was a bit more useful.

@Matt_Barber You can clearly tell this game was meticously crafted, because the more I play it the more I'm enjoying, even if sometimes I have almost no clue where to go and what to do next (and this isn't great for many players). I mean: there are some puzzles where you pull a lever here and it opens a passage in another place in the city you don't even know where, you have to explore all the city to know that (or watch a walkthrough). It's not impossible, but it's exhausting. Some important keys are hidden in the dirt like they were random coins, there are no hints where something important could be, so if you miss that you're stuck forever, unless you go back and search everywhere (or you ask online, if you have luck a random kind stranger can help you, maybe). Also the bugs: yesterday the game crashed on me and I lost (again) money and souls...more than 500 coins gone...

@Onett they don't make terrible games either...also this game is not that bad as this review could make you think. Sure, the cons are real, but once you understand how to fight and that you have to check literally under every rock to find secret passages or even hidden keys, you're going to enjoy this game a lot more! But you have to be careful, look carefully at the environment, explore and explore, talk with NPC and pay attention to what they say, because in some cases they give you important clues!
