Re: "It Will Have A Chilling Effect On Game Design" - EU Group Responds To 'Stop Killing Games'

Yalloo

@TheDragonDAFan It is childish because the T&Cs clearly detail exactly what those games are ... cashgrabs. Expecting anything else is imo naive and childish.

I'm not pushing back anything, people are free to have opinions, however childish these are. And instead of spending time making their own videogame exactly how they'd like it to be, investing in marketing campaigns to gather players and create communities to make their game popular, some childish people are wasting their time with such opinions and petitions.
The companies who make these games are businesses who do this for profit, they're not charity organizations. And demanding that such games should be made available whatever ways they are not made for is, again imo, absolutely childish.
That they got an answer is actually really nice of Nintendo, Sega and co. ... addressing the children saying "come on now, be reasonable, let me explain how the world really works".

Demanding more laws and regulations from useless politicians, that's another childish thing to do imo.

Finally, this is in no way "supposed to help me". I try as much as I can to see things for what they really are. And when I'm not, I like to be reminded/explained exactly what is what.

First time I read about this petition and it's been signed by over one million gamers? Wow!
I usually don't read terms and conditions but I can only imagine that for those online games T&Cs clearly detail that the game will only be provided for however long the company wants to. And whenever they pull the plug it's over. Now if you want to play those games in the first place, and furthermore throw money at them, well ... you know who you are XD
What a childish representation of gamers worlwide, I can't be surprised it's lead by a youtuber.

Having such a negative impact on their surroundings tells me to avoid giving money to MS as much as possible. Don't we all live on the same planet?? At the end of the day what happens when you're super rich, all alone and nobody left to play with ... what's the point ๐Ÿ˜ต What a sad bunch over there.

I hope all the people who lost their job will find better ones ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽฎ

  • Prince of Persia : The Lost Crown: I've started this during the week, and so far it is promising, maybe just a bit slow to get started. I've reached Artaban's practice/challenges.
  • Tetris Effect Connected: going to participate in the weekend ritual + full moon, as usual ..
  • Mario Kart World: just got my last gold trophy @ Knockout Tour, and will now try to reach 3 stars overall, while unlocking the costumes for all the guys.

Happy gaming! โœŒ๐Ÿป๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽฎ

@Friendly Oh man, reading you enjoying the game makes me want to dive right back in. But I've already played way too much of it and I think I should take a little break to make sure I enjoy the next one when it's coming out this winter. Have fun!

Re: Romero Games Hit With Layoffs Following Microsoft Xbox Cuts

Yalloo

@axelhander Well ... they have never got rid of thousands of employees, probably even alltogether. And not even when the company was doing bad. Even less when they're ultra profitable. In that sense they are not as bad.
Now, Nintendo is a company and they run a business. And they're no saint.

Re: Romero Games Hit With Layoffs Following Microsoft Xbox Cuts

Yalloo

@axelhander I get your point. But letting go of thousands of employees when your business makes more money than ever is not something I accept or support.

I never said Nintendo were saints. I merely refered to MS as a dumb and greedy bully that has a negative impact on their surroundings.

Re: Furukawa's Defence Of Game-Key Cards Ain't All That Convincing

Yalloo

Let me repeat this here in case some sharholders are wondering. I buy most of my games in a proper physical format. I'm not buying game-key cards or code-in-a-box. If a game is only available digitally and takes too much space, I'm not buying it.
I've already skipped a bunch of games on Switch and I have a huge backlog. In 2025 you can't make an effort for your customers? I won't play your game. To each their own.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (28th June)

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity: I've got two missions left in Apocalyptic mode which are The Siege of Fort Hateno and Survival of the Fittest. Before I go for these, I want to bring all my weapons to level 30 and I'm missing a Sheikah slate for Zelda and a soup ladle for Link, so I'm replaying through some missions to collect weapons for fusing.

Tetris 99: participating in the Maximus Cup even though I already have the 4 themes that are up for grabs. This game is so chill compared to how competitive Effect can get.

Tetris Effect Connected: participating in the weekly ritual & full moon.

Mario Kart World: still going for gold + 3 stars in all the cups. Man this game is still as unfair as it's always been! XD

Re: Drag X Drive Switch 2 eShop Price Revealed

Yalloo

I participated in a local multiplayer mode at the Switch 2 experience ... so that must be included in the game.

Mouse controls felt extremely satisfying in MP4, but in this one there was an input lag ... maybe just requires some time to get used to but it was obviously noticeable unfortunately.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (21st June)

Yalloo

Age of Calamity: doing the vicious monsters and side quests level 81+ in Apocalyptic difficulty.
I've skipped the Fort Hateno mission for now, I remember just how tight it was already in Very Hard. I think this will be my final challenge.

Mario Kart World: going for 3 stars in 150cc. Love the music, but somehow not a fan that they "re-assigned" old tunes to tracks, I thought they were playing randomly across the circuits.
Still having a lot of fun with the game.

Tetris Effect Connected: participating in the weekly ritual + full moon as usual.

Re: PS5 Hit 'Stellar Blade' Is Reportedly In Consideration For The Switch 2

Yalloo

@AstroTheGamosian Thanks for the detailed impressions. Too bad there's not more to the story or characters, but a nice hack'n'slash gameplay can make for a nice game, even more so if the soundtrack is that good.
I will keep an eye out for it, in case it comes to Switch 2. In the meantime I've got many other games to play.
The way you referenced Samus in Other M cracked me up btw!

Re: Third-Party Launch Games On Switch 2 Reportedly Sold "Very Low Numbers"

Yalloo

@TrueBlueYoshi Sure, that would be one thing. Another thing would be larger (affordable) game cards. I buy the "main" games I play physically. I'm fine with having one SD card in the system, but not multiple. If I get a Switch 2 upgrade or collector edition down the line, that will be 2 SD cards, but that's it. Archiving and re-downloading games is not something I want to bother with. I'm OK with downloading some of my games, but most of them I need physically.

@AstroTheGamosian @Ramen756 Thanks for your inputs! ๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽฎ

I loved many things in Nier Automata, but the gameplay was a bit too RPG for my taste.
I guess I'll have to watch a video or two before I buy the physical when and if it comes. Better I adjust my expectations ... Bayonetta is one of the best games I've ever played, so maybe that's setting the bar a bit too high to start with ๐Ÿ˜…

Re: Mario's Voice Actor Says It's "Unbelievable" To Hear His Voice In Mario Kart World

Yalloo

@N00BiSH Appreciate your comments here, and passion tbh. I hadn't noticed anything with Wonder, but there are a couple of sentences in World where I thought "hum ... couldn't you re-do this line?!"

I usually don't care for voice acting, even in Bayonetta the change was obvious but it didn't bother me. Here I just tick every time.

We'll get used to it I guess, there's no way around it.

Oh, and regarding the article, good for him, it must be wild to hear yourself voice a game you've been playing since childhood. That makes him sound a bit naive though saying something blunt like that.

Re: Nintendo Survey Asks Switch 2 Users About Their Experience So Far

Yalloo

@JohnnyMind Ah, ok. So the retailer's supplier sold pre-orders that they didn't have guaranteed. Too bad. And of course they can get you the bundle but not the console itself ...
Having Mario Kart digitally is something I needed despite usually getting my games physically, as it's a game I play in between others and I enjoy coming back to it a lot, so it's handy not having to switch cards all the time.
But anyways, I'm sure you will enjoy both your Switch 2 and MK World even more when you'll finally get them, due to the longer wait. I love my Switch 2 and MK World is super fun. I think you also never got the OLED, so it will be an even bigger leap for you.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)

Yalloo

Playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, doing the side quests level 61+ in Apocalyptic mode. It's very challenging to say the least.

Participating in the weekend ritual + full moon @ Tetris Effect Connected.

Discovering the new Mario Kart World. So far I really enjoy it. Just the fading out and switch of music tracks during races feels really off so far, need to get used to that.
