Re: Nintendo Download: 20th August (North America)

80 usd for an old game like Elden Ring, when its not even a physical release is a hard no! If the very least they managed to bump it to 40 FPS the very least! Its still an old ps4 game and we saw what was done with Cyberpunk! No effort porting it properly to a more modern Switch 2, and just saying it has a stable 30fps?! No thank you. Anyway the game has been delayed only because of people going crazy that Duskbloods has no single player so to shut peopleup they will release these two closer to each other. Lame effort, and Elden Ring is a cheap patch to defend even less development effort on Duskbloods which should have a proper singleplayer like Splatoon Raiders which has both! Huge disappointment FromSoft! Huge! And you used to be one of my top favorite studios!

Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time

Znake

Any rational being would put Prime 4 closer to Prime 1 remaster! Prime 4 is spiritual reimagining of the first game. There is not much new, but best gameplay, bosses and music. People should judge the game fairly without the silly YouTube opinion filters. The only thing missing in Prime games is the improvisation that Super taughts players through NPC’s. Not just getting an upgrade, but practice your native movements and use those skills differently like the wall jump. Wish Samus could have hidden moves that are there already without any tutorials, and getting better would enable us to sequence break. The only downside of Prime 4 was linearity, but all Primes have hints on the map, and the story was better presented with linear design. Prime 4 rules, even though I wish there were more unique weapons and skills and how we got them. Otherwise I would much rather keep replaying 4 than 2 or 3( love those as well beside the last collectathlons they have) I actually liked the desert-just the combat could be more interesting there on the bike. Its just a game with such great atmosphere and art! Too bad people listen more to online haters than their own opinions!

Re: Capcom Isn't Fussed About A Potential All-Digital Future

Znake

90 procent digital? Seriously? When they absolutely killed physicals? Only Key Cards? The statistics would be only fair if every gamer has an equal choice of buying both physical and digital! If there are almost no physical options, except for Xbox and ps5, then what value has the 90%? Its like I have 9 tshirts and only 1 pants for sale, and claiming that only 10 percent wanna buy pants. How ridiculous are those claims!

Re: Every Splatoon Game, Ranked

Znake

The gameplay is fun in Splatoon Raiders but its a far cry from Ratchet and Clank level of quality, which is funny considering Jet force Gemini was N64 game that inspired Ratchet and Clank. I expected more effort put into it like what DK Bananza or TOTK got. This is like a fun gameplay game with no soul, and the music is so uninspired and boring! 15-20h you listen to the same things- lets find a treasure! That’s the only story. Super boring! I wish they went the extra mile and created at least something like DK Tropical Freeze. A great simple main nemesis, great unique worlds, great platforming and action. Expected a little more. Its just a simple fun game, and the potential is there for it to be much more.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Splatoon Raiders?

Znake

I am between 8-9, but voted 8. Gameplay feels great but not sure if the game kicks in a fun story. The base and 3 characters only feels lazy. Its just arenas meshed together and the game is not as serious as I would expect for a singleplayer. Its still wont dethrone Ratchet and Clank for me. But its really fun experience. My biggest issue is the weird boring uninspired music.

Re: Final Fantasy Devs Think Other Remakes Would Probably Go Beyond A Trilogy

Znake

That’s such a greedy response! They just lazy to create original content and its much easier to stretch what’s already there and keep milking people t and add tons of meaningless filler! That’s the reason I never bought FF7 remake, because stretching/and changing the original from 1 to 3 games is just ridiculous and they made it into something you may play once but more likely wont replay it again! No Thanks! Keep your overstretched lazy designs. If you were good devs, you would squeeze as much as possible into o e game and offer a complete product.

Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Lies Of P On Switch 2

Znake

A day 1 patch for an older game that was not recently developed but was only supposed to be optimized for the platform and still there is a day 1 patch?! No Thank you! This has been a plague of gaming industry with lazy devs never releasing a finished product. Any company doing this is a NO GO! You show incompetence. Either change a release date and show you know what needs to be fixed or just delay! This game is not new and you had to be aware or the issues on other platforms. This has been killing physical media-overreliance on patches and laziness and lack of skill and organization to release full complete package. Keep your lazy efforts to yourselves and offer gamers your best work only! This is clearly not the case!

Re: Sony Ditches Physical Media - Suddenly Game-Key Cards Don't Look So Bad

Znake

Why wouldn’t gkc look bad? They are worse because they are a plastic waste that makes digital even more convenient! Digital: you downlod and play the game// Game Key Card: you need to download it, and even though its in the system memory, you always need to put the plastic there to play, which is ridiculous. GKC is still a waste and is no physical release! GKC is more inconvenient digital wrapped in extra plastic! Yes you can resell it, but its still dependent on servers, and now that people know what key cards are, who would honestly buy them? People stopped buying them and stores do not want to sell them.

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate 'Patch 1' Out Now On Switch, Here Are The Full Details

Znake

This is so disappointing! All the “fixes” still dint fix the main issue of this game: dull and boring combat that requires zero skill, just patience to hold through. The only level that was somehow ok, was the cyberdine building with the robo turrets. Everywhere else its just walk, shoot walk, and enemies are zero threat! Really brain dead action. Visually it looks nice, but that’s about it. The enemies should have more animations and attacks to become a threat. The T808 are just robo zombies that die before I comfortably walks towards them “while holding the shoot” wow. The visual aspect is all that this game has, but gameplay wise, it should take lessons from Huntdown, Blazing Chrome, Valfaris, Wild Guns, and most recently- Neon Inferno. All those games are a few leagues higher, and that is sad because I was hyped for this!

Re: Star Fox 64 Art Director Says Remake's Visuals "Bring Tears To My Eyes"

Znake

There could still be more improvements! Better Voice Acting for ROB and the bosses-they lack creativity and any empathy for the original. The weapon effects are disappointing-weak effect, the final blue beam could use a different effect than just swapping collie palette to feel more powerful and the same for the Bomb and Charge shot! I also miss that in Zero, with a good timing of release, you could fire a more powerful shot, but I know they wanna keep the game the same, but could add some more advanced arcade mode with different enemies, patterns, and different weapons. This still feels a little cheap if its only 1:1 with 64. I hope we will at least have a campaign with Fox´s father, with new planets that would redeem some freshness to it, not just add cutscenes!

Re: Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition Will Finally Rise On Switch 2 This August

Znake

Another game I was hyped for and then hear its a Game Key Card. Go to hell with Key Cards! We have a digital already, we do t need a plastic waste that connects me to the digital version! Can you finally listen to your customers? Nobody who buys physical wants Key Cards! Who likes digital has the option, but we who don’t have space on the console are willing to spend more on physical version! Abolish the ridiculous waste as the Key Cards are, its unacceptable!!!

Re: Video: The Great Physical Vs. Digital Switch 2 Debate

Znake

Nobody talks about that game development also got cheaper! Studios today do not develop their own engine, the use of AI for general work boosts the development cycle dramatically but we only keep hearing one side-the corporate side. Physical has issues because corporates just want to make even more money that’s it.

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Want From A New Star Fox Game?

Znake

New Star Fox needs to shine new light on core on rail multi path roots and take examples from Sin and Punishment 2, Kid Icarus Uprising, SF64, assault and Zero and create an intense score arcade experience that focuses on hard core gamers. No mess up like the Boring Starlink that was a terrible game. Ubisoft was a bad choice. Platinum should continue with the series since they got a great first try with Zero, maybe the only flaw was how similar it was to 64, otherwise the controls were exciting and so fresh that after some patience and mastery of the controls, there was no game like it. I home it wont become a boring streamlined cheesy and easy boring experience that you play once and done. It needs to have deep gameplay formula that will age lime fine wine.

Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight

Znake

@DashKappei what a childish response:/ its funny how you claim you don’t excuse Capcom, but spend ages just cycling in your own defenses. Not once did you reflect what was said, not once did you try to understand. I don’t know how old you are, and I don’t mean to insult, but younger people have ego and argue for the sake of winning, older people know how to listen. You didn’t seem to listen at all, sorry:( You also should read between the lines. Sacrificing would need to be done but nobody could argue that it would be impossible. It could still go through the partial download which you yourself said-why didn’t they do this then? It runs at a low 640p or whatever resolution and upscales, and yes maybe they could lock just 50fps instead of targeting 60 which still is too high. And who knows the truth how fast the cartridges really are? Nobody tested it and just relies on corporate excuses. So who knows if they really are slow or if that is just an excuse so Capcom saves on physical media. Nintendo, if massproduced in millions could definitely drop the price below 15usd. Maybe 10bucks. And why not then? So we still could have 3options 1) slower cartridge with mandatory installation from the media itself 2) more expensive game with faster cartridge 3) lowering down the framerate to 40/50 so it could run within the speeds they claim.
Yes yes, Capcom always brags about their new engine, but its also extremely scalable and seeing the gameplay-corridor type game for the most part, there should be ways. My point is, people shouldn’t trust all information forced up our throats, because companies focus on profitability first not making players happy first. That’s why we get unfinished products on release days with day 1 patches so they save money on proper game testing and force more costs onto us, and so on. Not everything said to us is necessarily the truth, but a convenient manipulation.
To finish, I would rather pay more for full physical, and who doesn’t want, can just download it right? But Key Cards? That’s a confusing manipulation to people who don’t check properly and think its physical, and then they are lazy to return it and just painfully accept it. This is not transparent communication-not everyone watches directs. I don’t care, if they wont release physical I wont buy it. Whoever else, make your choices with your purchases.

Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight

Znake

@DashKappei is this an AI generated response? Because you cycle in your own arguments without really understanding what I said. Clearly you are the one who doesn’t understand current tech and game demands based on the type of game and CPU and GPU usage. I am a developer who also has had over 35years experience with gaming but based on your answer its pointless to continue. Don’t even bother responding LOL

Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight

Znake

@DashKappei so you aren’t excusing their approach, yet you spend the whole paragraph describing why they did it instead of the reasons why they shouldn’t.
Yes you are correct, there is no excuse! 1)Nintendo should have planned ahead with different types of cartridges!
2) if a small company can handle the cost of the cartridge that doesn’t even sell millions but they still release full physical, compared to Capcom that sells on multiple platforms, with multiple franchises and makes heavy loads more than small devs but decides not to do full physical-that’s called monetisation and focus on taking more of our money, not that its not possible. Capcom could easily do it.
3) don’t mention engines, we are not in the ps3 era. Nowadays all engines are designed to run on various hardware settings-moreso RE Engine so engine is not the issue this generation.
4) lets not dove into silly PR excuses that the cartridge isnnt fast enough. Cyberpunk is a great example because its a game that strains CPu and GPU more than Resident evil. Cyberpunk is an open world where that has far more NPC’s, structures, physics, action that can happen at the same time VS Resident- linear corridor style game that has slower NPC’s and you never experience so much processed data per second in RE. So Cyberpunk is significantly more demanding and it works fine from the cartridge-and RE cannot? That’s just a corporate excuse to shift attention from their greed. If we use common sense, the facts and truth are undeniable. So long story short, if Cyberpunk could do it, for Capcom it would have been FAR easier.
There is just no excuse for the KEY Cards, and if Nintendo wont change this, well me and most gamers I know who buy only physical will sell their Switches and start buying games on PS5 instead. If Nintendo and Capcom won’t find a way to be consumer friendly and jist focus on monetisation and profitability, people like us will just not give them any more money. Simple:)

Re: Review: Resident Evil Requiem (Switch 2) - Action And Horror Combine In A Series Highlight

@Moroboshi876 the same thoughts! But come on Capcom, Cyberpunk fit on a full physical( around 100gb game), Indiana Jones too will release a full physical (130gb game) so there is really no excuse! I will never buy a key card and knowing that the game has only 29.2GB, that is far below 64 gb card that Cyberpunk used so they could use even cheaper 32gb cards that Switch 1 had! Capcom really screwed us over, because this is mega cheap from them! Lame Capcom, LAME! And no Mercenary? Does Capcom take examples from GameFreak, fragmenting content so they can sell more down the line? Mercenary Mode has been a stable that used to be included as a part of the main game! Now these devs don’t think how to offer us the best product possible anymore, but they look for ways how to get as much cash as possible from us! Well they get none from me unless its a full physical with mercenary mode included! Shame on them! I am really disappointed in Capcom!

Re: Poll: Will You Be Getting Pokémon FireRed Or LeafGreen On Switch?

Znake

This is so cheap Gamefreak, we already got Lets Go Pikachu which is a remake of the original games! We should get a proper physical release of Gold in 2D HD or Black 2 remake! Giving us FireRed, LG is so cheap, you must be desperate to scrape the bottom of the barel through old content since you are unable to create a proper AAA title since Black 2. Also once you butchered Platinum on Switch, I lost all hope this studio could ever return to their old glory days-they were too dependent on Iwata it feels like. They recycle ages old programming without really creating anything new! Look at Zelda back and Zelda now! Gamefreak froze in the GameCube days. Nothing against Twilight Princess, but imagine if Nintendo released a brand new game, and it would be TP. Its a great classic but it would feel visually and gameplaywise very dated today as a brand new entry. That’s how their games are! Can’t believe that one of the wealthiest gaming IP’s in the World are lazy bums, that I would compare to 50 year old kids still depending on their parents and crying they have to work. Shame on Gamefreak! Shame! Shame! Shame! Like Cersei

Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 Switch And Switch 2 Physical Version Download Requirements Revealed

Znake

@batmanbud2 this doesn’t need to be a Key Card! The original Switch cartridges have 32 or 34gb of space so both games could easily fit! This is such a nonesense! Nintendo this is the greatest plague you have created! Games should be either only digital or only physical! Selling a useless plastic that just redirects you to download the full digital game is nonesense and a sneaky manipulation making many believe its a physical! So many e-shop and platforms don’t clearly define this and it creates a huge confusion! I have bought so many games for Switch and it was the same with the code in the box! So I had to return those games! Its ridiculous! Nintendo should let us know before we bought Switch that they will move away from physical games! Because I loved switch 1 for exceptions, so I stayed loyal to Nintendo for this? Nintendo released games like Cyberpunk full on Cartridge to makes us just believe-yeah even the biggest games will be full physical releases with all DLC! Now everything is a Key Card?! What a thrash! Nintendo needs to let us know if this is their new trend, because if yes, I will have to sell the Switch 2 and buy a ps5 instead.
