Still don't understand all the hate this game gets. Some of the most beautiful art and music I have ever experienced in a video game. I love the multiple story arcs and the battle system too. One of my favorite Switch games.
This game looks absolutely awesome! I printed the PDF rules for free from their website and it looks engaging and complex. 45 minutes per player, fully cooperative, a lot to manage as a team. I'm sure my girlfriend and I will really enjoy playing this together!!
Hot take incoming. I have to be honest, I've seen so much praise about this game, and have tried to play it seriously on THREE separate occasions. Plugged 20 or so hours into it and could never get into it. I love RPGs and other Tales games, but man, I have nothing good to say about this game. I think it's wildly overrated.
Most exciting character reveal for me yet. And they did it perfect by keeping Rex out. Feel like I finally had my own personal YouTube-worthy reaction. New main, can't wait to play them!!!
That initial sketch art looks just like the stuff from Octopath Traveler. Like you mentioned, the game's art style just doesn't do it for me like Octopath did.
Just because you don't like it doesn't make it poor gameplay. As others have said, it is gameplay dependent--some games have fun grinding and others have not fun grinding.
Parts of this game are really appealing, but other things like combat and voice acting seem a bit rough around the edges. Will have to wait and see more!
Yeah, I feel sorry for the Geno fanbase. But at the same time, Sephiroth is freaking awesome and if I could choose a Square character between the two it would be no contest.
Not! The Switch is awesome and I have a backlog the size of a mountain. Sure, it wasn't a jaw-dropping year for Nintendo, but these are strange times and the Big N brought some timely help with ACNH. I'll be looking forward to 2021!
There are always new things being discovered about this game years later, and I have a feeling there are still other things we have yet to discover. Truly a masterpiece.
The world of LoL actually has really rich lore and I'm glad Riot is capitalizing on it. Their card game was super fun, looking forward to how this next project turns out.
For myself: couldn't care less.
For others: happy for Minecraft fans and it is a deserving character.
For future: very, very concerned this means Fortnite actually has a chance to be in this Fighters Pass if it's all about game sales now.
I thought the main game was alright (not as abysmal as most people make it out to be). I thought the first DLC was fantastic, so I'm excited for this one as well!
I said this in the live chat, but you all at NintendoLife should be really proud of the show you put together. I know I give you a tough time when I feel that certain articles are click-baity or misleading, but this was very well done. Cheers!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The February 2021 Nintendo Direct, Then?
This was one of my all-time favorite directs. 10/10 for me personally, and the only reason I'm announcing this is to balance out all the hate.

Re: Reminder: You Can Now Download A Demo Of Immortals Fenyx Rising From The Switch eShop
Grabbed it for $30 and absolutely love it. I think in some ways it falls short of BOTW, but in other ways it far surpasses it.

Ubisoft played their Reverse card.

Re: Nintendo Has Nothing To Share About Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3 And Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Right Now
Nintendo is DOOMED...
Not! The Switch is awesome and I have a backlog the size of a mountain. Sure, it wasn't a jaw-dropping year for Nintendo, but these are strange times and the Big N brought some timely help with ACNH. I'll be looking forward to 2021!
