I said it all this time that it was a misprint, given the game’s file-size. Though so many people jumped the gun and were adamant they would no longer get the game.
@Mince My “problem” is that it helps to do your research. Your initial comment was ignorant to the possibilities if it being a mistake when others had already brought it up before you.
And I’m very sure that I am older than you already, so the condescending tone and life lecture about what being mad truly looks like is pointless.
As for everyone else in the comments still overlooking/unaware; The game is listed as 13.5GB in the eshop.
Digital version aside, even IF MHS2 was on an 8GB cartridge, I have a very hard time believing an extra download of 15GB is necessary. That would make it a total of 24GB. 10.5GB bigger than the size stated for the digital download
Even with a Day 1 Patch. Seems to me this is likely just a printing error/typo.
@Nintendo4Sonic So you played it once and didn’t like it, then upon realising it’s a F2P game, decided to trash it because of the game genre because it “wasn’t for you”.
@SortingHat
“You get things for free by your parents once you earn or save your own money you'll soon understand what we go thru.“
I’m not exactly sure I understand why you even needed to assume something like that in the first place.
I’m in my mid-twenties with my own flat, paying my own bills and purchasing my own luxuries. I think I’m more than qualified to throw my hat in the ring.
And being skeptical is fine wen it comes to making purchases.You evaluate all the pros and cons of something before biting the bullet on getting it.
That said, this was a 90 second trailer and people are already calling it disappointing when they barely know anything.
Seems like a rather trivial thing for people to get bent out of shape over honestly. And that’s coming from someone fully supportive of reaction videos/channels.
That’s incredibly harsh and if I’m honest, probably stems from the reviewers bias of it being a F2P game offering micro-transactions.
People who purchase the premium pass have no advantage whatsoever over those who don’t. It get’s you all the locked characters sure, but that doesn’t mean they’ll instantly win every game when it basically boils down to luck, skill and timing.
As others have echoed, white bomber is OP and he’s a standard character everyone can use.
As for the long loading times to find a match, I’ve not once been put off or tempted to stop playing because of it.
What’s more, the time spent waiting for a match is easily overshadowed by how long you can actually be playing in one.
I’m currently level 11 and rank 12 on both the passes, played well over 50 games and even came 2nd in one match. (Lost due to placing a bomb in the wrong spot). And all of that was with the white bomber character.
I’m in agreement that the loading times need to be improved and it seems a fix is on the way. It all comes down to an individual's patience.
The ONLY negative I have, is that creating private rooms to play with friends is locked behind the premium pass. It’s a bummer, but not a deal breaker.
The main draw to play this game is the battle royale mode anyway.
If I’m honest, the review is way too harsh. That said, the person reviewing it clearly has their own criteria and if they didn’t enjoy it that much, that’s fine.
@neufel
I’m not saying that the people who managed to grab it won’t have it removed or the licence revoked.
But that it’s a possibility they may get to keep it.
We have to remember here that while it happened on the PSN store several times, that’s a different company entirely. There’s also a fact that that this slip-up seems to be entirely EU server-side related. Different countries and regions have different laws, policies and clauses.
It’ll be interesting for sure to see what happens from here.
@Ulysses I purchased the SWSH dual-pack on Amazon for £94.99. Each of the games were £49.99 at the time of release, so I saved £5 by grabbing the dual-pack instead.
Not a huge saving, but it’s money that stayed in my bank.

Re: Nintendo Reminds Us Splatoon 3 Is Still On The Way
Lot of people complaining Splatoon 3 is unneeded or not worth it. We have very little to go on aside from the reveal trailer.
People need to learn not to jump the gun.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD - A Remaster That Truly Soars
Bit of a tangent comment, so forgive me.
So Skyward Sword loses points for a traversal feature being locked by an Amiibo? Okay, that’s actual sound reasoning for a deduction.
But Monster Hunter Stories 2 loses points for being too “grindy” when it’s an RPG? I’m sorry but what….?
I’m aware the reviewers for the two games in question are different, but I’m sure the review policy/structure is the same for all reviewers.
And I think it needs a review itself.
Re: Square Enix Reveals New Bravely Default Game, But It's Only Launching On Mobile
Uh oh, two trigger phrases.
“Gacha” and “Mobile Games”
Time for people in the comments to express their disgust at the genres like usual. /s
Anyways, sign me up! Love the Bravely Default series and I’m excited to try this out.
Re: The Physical Copy Of Monster Hunter Stories 2 May Not Require A Download After All
@Liam_Doolan
You’re welcome for the update NL.
I said it all this time that it was a misprint, given the game’s file-size. Though so many people jumped the gun and were adamant they would no longer get the game.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - A Franchise Riding High
Someone from NL needs to update the article regarding the game not being fully on the cart.
As it turns out, it is indeed a printing error;

Re: Review: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - A Franchise Riding High
@Lyricana
Couldn’t of put it better myself.
Saying that a universally accepted part of ANY JRPG is now a negative is just silly..
Re: Review: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin - A Franchise Riding High
An RPG falling into “grindy territory” is now a negative for an RPG…?
Should of been a 9/10 with the only issues being performance. Which I’m fairly sure will get some sort of optimisation through updates/patches.

Even with both mine and your comments, people are still clearly jumping the gun and wishing ill on Capcom because of it.

Re: Roundup: Here's What Was Revealed In Nintendo Direct E3 2021
BotW2 and SMTV won it for me.
Don't care for the Metroid series at all so it's a pass for me.
Re: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2 Footage Shown, Aiming For A 2022 Switch Release
Guessing BoTW2 doesn't live up to the hype, going by how so many people are whining and disappointed.
Glad that's not me, thankfully.
This looks fantastic and I can't wait till it comes out next year (fingers crossed).

@Mr-Fuggles777
Oh for sure, even before all of this the TCG had it’s own inflation cor various cards, boosters and everything else.
But ever since it became a main-stream thing just because, it’s spiralled out of control.
Re: The Pokémon Company Sold A Staggering 3.7 Billion Pokémon Cards Last Year
Logan Paul really messed the TCG up for the worse.
Opened the floodgates to scalpers and people buying the cards en-masse just for a profit.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Release Date Seemingly Leaked Ahead Of Nintendo's E3 Direct

It doesn’t matter if there’s no direct competition or if they’re different demographics.
Sales for either game can still be affected by the other. That’s just basic business if two products are in the same market.

It seems you don’t have any idea just what goes into developing games.
Re: Minecraft's Caves & Cliffs Part One Update Arrives Next Week
I’m beyond amped that the update is coming next week.
Now if only we could get the bugs ironed out that still plague the Switch version.
Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Is Running On Unreal Engine 5
@Sparrowhawk
Considering the Switch fully supports UE5, it’s practically confirmed to be on Switch/Switch Pro.
Not to mention DQXI sold far better on Switch than it did on PS4.
Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Is Running On Unreal Engine 5
Would this be the first game confirmed for Switch to run in Unreal Engine 5?

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Appears For Free, Thanks To An eShop Exploit
@neufel
I’m not saying that the people who managed to grab it won’t have it removed or the licence revoked.
But that it’s a possibility they may get to keep it.
We have to remember here that while it happened on the PSN store several times, that’s a different company entirely. There’s also a fact that that this slip-up seems to be entirely EU server-side related. Different countries and regions have different laws, policies and clauses.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Appears For Free, Thanks To An eShop Exploit
@carlos82
I wouldn’t blame Nintendo for doing just that.
However the exploit is entirely their fault, so they can’t really blame people for grabbing it.
Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Expansion Pass Appears For Free, Thanks To An eShop Exploit
I live in the UK with a UK/EU account.
Just tried to get it and it’s says the purchase bonus is listed as “not available for purchase”
Think it’s been fixed now.
