I also like YU-NO but there's a lot of sexualization to stomach. That aside tho, the story is superb. Reminds me of Steins:Gate the way it handles multiple routes and endings.
I like the idea but I'm hesitant.
I want to know what the TOS says before a purchase.
Like, can I still play Control in two years?
How long are they garantueeing the servers will be up?
Without that knowlage I will never hit purchase.
I need some clearly defined terms here, not skimming through 28 pages of legal text.
What do I get for my money and specifically - for how long?
I think most people feel this is the biggest hurdle.
A good rule of thumb is not to pre-order Ubisoft open world games. It's expected at this point that it will have tons of bugs on release. Just a friendly heads up. Don't come crying when your save gets corrupted three days after launch.
Fast RMX is still quite remarkable for hitting 60 fps in splitscreen. There's not that many Switch games that can pull that off and still look THAT good. Bravo!
Seriously tho, does that mean all r34 art is technically illigal?
I mean where does porn fall under parody or satire?
Since the creator was distributing the game for free I don't think Nintendo had a case here?
If you're going to start reporting on games not coming to the Switch this site will be unreadable. GTA VI, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk, Monster Hunter World, Grounded, Call of Duty, Final Fantasy XV and XVI, Resident Evil Village, any Madden or NHL game apparently, Watchdogs Legions, World of Warcraft, Starcraft, I can go on...
The Escapists 2, Worms W.M.D., Thea 2 the Awakening , For the King, Banner Saga all have super small font as well. I think it would be easier to make a list of games with a comfortable font size on Switch tbh.
I'm surprised no one is shouting "Odyssey clone!", especially after all the comments on Fenyx Rising being a BotW clone. Am I the only one seeing Super Mario Odyssey gameplay here?
And it's not a jab at the game btw. Taking inspirations from good gmes is fine and the game looks unique enough.
Everytime I hear of this I think back to the Xbox 360. Imagine if Nintendo had the Red Ring of Death problem instead of the Xbox 360. Now we know their difference in policy.
Sure, you may argue that a bricked console is much worse than a drifting controller and of course you're right.
However, a faulty product is a faulty product. At least Microsoft did the right thing and owned their mistake. Not only did they offer free replacements GLOBALLY but also fixing the problem in newer versions of the console.
Nintendo US is, afaik, the only devision that offers free joycon replacements. And it's been three years and Nintendo is still selling not only the same joycons but a whole console (Switch Lite) with the same poor design choice. Truly showing that they don't give a f.
I bought Lapis X Labyrinth on the sale and it's pretty good! It reminds me of a 2D Diablo but with less intriguing levels.
You get better loot if you can play without getting hit. The higher the combo counter the more money and stuff you get. It's fun to see gems and coins flying all over the screen when you have a good run. It's very arcade-y feeling.
If you want a hectic hack'n'slash looter then it fits the bill.
Mercenaries Saga Chronicles are three good srpg's in the style of FFT but with poorer writing. (still a pretty interesting story). It's worth a buy if you like that type of gameplay. I still think Disgaea is better but Mercenaries is fine.
PAN-PAN was good too but very short. Like you can finish it in one hour. It has some good puzzles tho.
World Conqurer X is absolute trash! The presentation and muffled generic sound effects screams mobile game. All missions are ranked on a three star system just like all mobile f2p games.
The models and the backgrounds don't use the same art-style at all. Feels like you're moving around stickers more than actual military units. It's garbage! Buy Civ or Wargroove instead.
What irks me is that they are doing this during a pandemic.
I can understand them limiting physical supplies but removing the digital version is just ***** to people who are stuggling right now.
Also, I can easily see EA, Activision and Ubisoft taking notes. I hate FOMO tactics! I always have ever since store exclusive pre-orders was a thing.
They will never win me over as long as only the host gets story progression.
An option to start a caravan with your friends like in the original would be nice too! Make it like Stardew Valley where host starts a new savefile and then your friends can join that save file. At least you'd travel together then!
@Panopticon I'd say it's a little better than that. While you can't do the same thing at the same time. (you cannot both fish for instance) you can do different things.
One can cook up foods, plot a course, smelt some metal or water plants while the other fishes or talks to everyone.
There is one catch. Daffodil can not talk to other characters (because it's a cat). You can hug and give items tho but no dialogue for player 2. Other than that you can do the same thing.
It's slow in the beginning but after 5 hours you'll beg player 2 to help out because there is something to manage all the time. Daffodil can even rearrage the buildings.
And you have a shared inventory and money so it really encourages you to plan this boat ride together.
I'll say the same thing I said about Paper Mario Origami King.
An rpg without leveling is stupid and RNG grinding is only fun if there are lots of cosmetics to gather.
This is money Square Enix could have put on a FFXIV port.
80 games sounds impressive until you start to compare it with Wii, Wii U, New 3DS. 80 games in two years is about 3 games a month so I guess it could be worse but maan does it feel like a slow drip.
I'm kind of irritated that World of Fanil Fantasy is not on that list. That game is absolutely fantastic! And don't let the chibi artstyle fool you. The story gets REALLY dark towards the end.
What if Animal Crossing and Wind Waker had a 2D baby with Studio Ghibli atmosphere. I love this game!!! 😍💜 Also they snuck in couch co-op as a hidden feature. Try booting up a second controller in-game. 😂
Spiritfarer. I think this might be my GOTY. That's saying quite a bit considering I have 435 hours in ACNH. It's just so darn charming, atmospheric and EMOTIONAL! I love it!
I'm six hours in. It's really really really good! It feels like a Studio Ghibli movie with Animal Crossing, Wind Waker, Gris and Fallout Shelter gameplay mixed together. Supposedly it's between 25-55 hours long depending on if you want to find everything.

Re: Feature: Best Visual Novels For Nintendo Switch
To the Moon should be on this list.

Re: Immortals Fenyx Rising Switch eShop File Size Revealed, Switch Gameplay Shown Off
I hold off on open world Ubisoft games because they are usually really buggy on launch but I'm looking forward to play it a few weeks later.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity's Free Demo Is Available Now
Weird headline. Name one Switch demo that isn't free. 🤔
Re: Don't Worry, Immortals Fenyx Rising Will Make It To Switch In Time For Christmas
A good rule of thumb is not to pre-order Ubisoft open world games.
It's expected at this point that it will have tons of bugs on release.
Just a friendly heads up.
Don't come crying when your save gets corrupted three days after launch.
Re: Poll: Do You Play Your Switch More In Docked Or Handheld Mode?
Before corona it was split 50/50 but now that I work a lot from home it's 90% docked.
Re: Poll: What Was The Best Switch Launch Game (That Wasn't Zelda: Breath Of The Wild)?
Fast RMX is still quite remarkable for hitting 60 fps in splitscreen. There's not that many Switch games that can pull that off and still look THAT good.
Bravo!

Hahahaha!! Omg how did no one on the dev team notice that?
Re: Nintendo Reportedly Arguing Switch Joy-Con Drift "Isn't A Real Problem"
During these past years since launch I've had 6 joycons and three of those started to drift within a year of use.
So 50% of my joycons.

I know it sounds impossible but you can actually do that nowadays.

Re: Rumour: New Monster Hunter Game For Switch Supposedly 'Leaked' Ahead Of Nintendo Direct

I hope the sequel can realize the games potential.

Re: Jump Force Deluxe Edition Launches Today With A Day-One Patch On Switch
I'd be super hype but half of internet says this game is trash so I'm afraid to waste money.
Wish there was a trial period or demo.

Re: Review: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition - A Weak RPG Enlivened By Nostalgia
I'll say the same thing I said about Paper Mario Origami King.
An rpg without leveling is stupid and RNG grinding is only fun if there are lots of cosmetics to gather.
This is money Square Enix could have put on a FFXIV port.
Re: Warframe's Heart Of Deimos Expansion To Launch A Little Later Than Planned On Switch

It will remove DNA destabilizing.
Re: Warframe's Heart Of Deimos Expansion To Launch A Little Later Than Planned On Switch
At 455 hours this is my most played game on Switch.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game On Nintendo Consoles?

Re: Spiritfarer Was Thunder Lotus' "Most Ambitious Launch" Ever, And There's More Work To Be Done
What if Animal Crossing and Wind Waker had a 2D baby with Studio Ghibli atmosphere.
I love this game!!! 😍💜
Also they snuck in couch co-op as a hidden feature. Try booting up a second controller in-game. 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 22nd)
Spiritfarer. I think this might be my GOTY. That's saying quite a bit considering I have 435 hours in ACNH. It's just so darn charming, atmospheric and EMOTIONAL! I love it!
Re: Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Multiplayer Is Region-Locked
At this point I'm expecting a NordVPN ad to show up on the start-up screen like on youtube.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th August (Europe)
I bought Spiritfarer. Animal Crossing meets Gris and Wind Waker with Studio Ghibli atmosphere. I love this game so much!!
Re: Surprise! Spiritfarer Launches On Nintendo Switch Today
I'm six hours in. It's really really really good!
It feels like a Studio Ghibli movie with Animal Crossing, Wind Waker, Gris and Fallout Shelter gameplay mixed together.
Supposedly it's between 25-55 hours long depending on if you want to find everything.
Yeah, I'd say this is a GOTY contender for sure!
