While I love the series, I won't be buying it a second time. If it was announced for switch earlier I'd get it for switch. So, while good news in general, to me it is little bit disappointing
While Switch Pro would be neat, I do not see VR Labo indicating Pro coming. I think it's more like Nintendo tries to get more customers into Labo. I, for one, never considered Labo before, and now I already preordered VR. I also think that Nintendo may use the statistics to gauge the interest in more mainstream VR, so that when Pro does eventually come, there might be a more high-tech VR googles accessory or even VR dedicated console based on Switch.
I don't mind this. Quite contrary - more people play OT, more money devs get, more games they can release. And that's great. I wish, however, that they do not abandon Switch, and, hopefully, games from the series, will have Switch exclusivity period.
The game was fun, I'll give it that. It was not groundbreaking, however. I played it with no regrets and sold it with no regrets once I was done with MQ and do not care about extra content anymore.
With game being that long I really am trying to keep the hope up for switch port, and fight myself not to buy ps4 version. As a parent I have little time to play video games outside the commute, so Switch is a saviour for me
I never understood why people of western culture have little problem with violence (event most kid shows have it, and I hope that everyone will agree with me that violence is generally bad and rarely justified), while nudity is considered wrong (while all of us are born naked, we are naked under our clothes, and more or less half the population has boobs* (*-replace with any other sex-related body part)). What is more, the art (and I consider games art no less than any other art form) often depicts nudity/eroticism and video games are the most censored form when it comes to this.
I do not think it's viable. I mean, switch has been released after current gen consoles (PS4, XBONE), and now, this iteration would be released before next gen? That being said, I would love to have bluetooth headphone support
While I understand that Borderlands2 is bit easier than 1, because it has already been released on PS Vita, I think it'd be better if they released all 3 games instead
I will consider this. I liked the 2 previous games from the series. I also begun this game soon before selling my PS Vita, so that may be a chance to start over. However, so far this year will provide other games I may be looking forward to more (Daemon X Machina, Pokemon, Legend of Zelda Awakening and few others).
While this ain't my kind of shoes (I tend to enjoy the game the way it is meant to be enjoyed), I still find it impressive people keep discovering these kind of things.
I highly doubt Witcher 3 is coming. It is a great game (and kinda national pride here ), however i'm not sure that there's satisfying middlepoint between graphical fidelity and performance. 1 & 2 would be great, although, since 3 would not come, they are not very likely IMO.
@Retupmocnin development of new game takes many years. In order to fill the gaps between new releases remakes are made. They require much less work as many of the assets can be reused or improved upon without working from scratch. So it doesn't really hinder development of new releases. Also it allows new players to experience older games
To me switch is a curious machine. When I browse the eshop I find less than 50 games that interest me, and I do not own even half of that yet. Been sinking hours into some amazing games (looking at you BotW) that call me time and time again. So, while I'm guessing that 90% of those games are not even slightly within my interest, I am far from telling anyone that there are no games for me to play there.
Gosh, I forgot this game existed. Been playing this when I was 7yo Not sure this game is going to do much more than bring few adults to buy it out of nostalgia.
Reveals of new hardware are big things and, obviously, Nintendo is going to do that on their own terms. So I wouldn't expect anything else other than avoiding the answer or denying the rumors.
I honestly have mixed feelings about this. I am a fan of the series. Played GE1 on PSP, then GE2 and GER (re-relase of GE1) on PS Vita. And now, when GE3 is almost out they mention a "possibility" for GE3 on Switch, while I already preordered it for PS4. I would strongly prefer to play on switch and if they announced the game earlier, I'd be ready to wait longer to get portability. But now, I don't know if i'd rebuy it.
I understand an appeal of mini switch sold without a dock but being able to be docked. I'd ask for clamshell though for more durability. However, I still would not get it since I already do have a switch. And what I'd consider a worthy upgrade would be a possibility of using wireless headset via Bluetooth.
I've played this game 27 years ago, and then recently on vita. While certainly a good piece of gaming history I just cannot find a reason to spend more than 10 EUR/USD on this game. Alright, give that another 10 for collector's goodies, for 20 total.
That's quite surprising indeed. Especially since, if I understand things correctly, other devs can use similar style, and just won't be able to use the name. The name, which does not really describe the art style.
Physicals are cheaper where I live. Also I can sell them after I'm done playing. However, with games I expect to enjoy much which I will not sell I buy collectors editions and keep them (octopath, botw, xc2)
@The_Pixel_King Don't know enough to judge whether it's worth it or not yet. If it's 10-20h long or the story won't seem engaging, than most likely not, if it gives you30+ hours of fun than it might just be worth it. Still, what I see so far does make me to bookmark it and want to learn bit more.
Even though the game was widely praised, and I liked the art direction I did not find this game that enjoyable, even though I consider myself JRPG fan. Battles were dragging and the game looked bit sub-standard. I give it 5/10
Really cool game, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Using physical ships is extremely uncomfortable, however and the game itself is too short. Still, I have no regrets over having played it. Strong 8/10 from me
I did get it during black friday sale in one of the local stores for more or less 50usd (about 33% off normal price), and I am not regretting it, although I do not enjoy prospect of not being able to sell it for decent price when I'm done with it. Anyways, it's really enjoyable game. Too bad it's not received better. But I understand people are bit put off by the fact they feel they need to buy extra elements to get weapons and ships
I played literally thousands of hours on PSV and loved that platform. However, at the beginning of this year i decided to cave in and get Switch. Still, I used to be biased towards Sony. Still, I do not understand the decisions of that company. They had plenty opportunities to make Vita viable. Eventually, they stopped pretending to even try and decided to exit the handheld market. Still, as a customer I am happy as without those decision I wouldn't give Nintendo a chance and would not try gems such as BotW, XC2 or Octopath Traveler
Been keeping tabs on Atelier series since Sophie, and after the financial strategy of Lydie and Suelle (check the price of the season pass for it!!!) and substandard/overpriced collector's edition of Nelke I won't be holding my breath here
I was not planning on buying pokeball, however, that does seem unfair, considering the fact that you cannot backup Let's Go saves, since the cloud backup is disabled here. So, if something ever goes wrong, and you bought the accessory wanting to get Mew, you're out of luck...
I do not live in USA, but c'mon. This post is alright, and applies pretty much to everyone living in a democratic country. If NL was trying to push his view onto us, that would be very wrong. But just reminding people that they should vote is OK imho.
I own PS4 and PSV, and I'll be buying switch not to play all those multiplatform titles, because we all can play them by different means. This is more true as both PS4 and XBox have more powerful hardware. I am buying Switch now, however, to play all those exclusives and that is, I believe, the major strength of Nintendo. I am overly excited to get my hands of BotW, I always wanted to try Pokemon and that's just the beginning of the list. No other platform can provide those (I know, emulators, however, I try to play legally and support the manufacturers)
