Re: Review: Trollhunters: Defenders Of Arcadia - WayForward Take A Big Step WayBack

I just knew this was going to be poor the second the first trailer appeared and for some reason the CGI cutscene didn't match the CGI show.

Then the first gameplay appeared and it looked super bad but I saw wayforwards name, had a little hope that the full package might be something more but nope games still bad.

I don't get why though. The IP can certainly support a game, the studio isn't crap, and its not like this had to be rushed out the show its named after finished 2 years ago, and the games set up doesn't seem to tie into either of the other Arcadia shows, both of which are finished, or the upcoming movie.

@MrGawain In theory I agree but its not like the retail model hasn't stopped the annual recycle of CoD or sports games making stupid amounts of cash every year.

Plus if memory serves gamepass "pays" developers based on metrics like how often the game is installed and how long players "engage" with it. So if the game does poorly they earn less money and might not get invited back next time.

Re: Jump Force Deluxe Edition Brings Goku, Naruto And More To Nintendo Switch

Man, this game disappointed me at almost every turn. On paper it sounds like gold, Xenoverse but with lots of anime characters and you can different fighting styles.

The story was meh, the art style is bothersome, the AI is pants on head stupid, and is filled with annoying design choices like having a sword-fighting style and sword cosmetic items but your character only uses their weird not a sword spirit thing.

Re: Leading Smash Bros. Player Calls Out Nintendo For "Not Putting Resources Into The Scene"

before I clicked the article I decided I would tap out the second Melee was mentioned, 2nd sentence, later than I feared earlier than I hoped.

I used to care, okay care is too strong of a word, I paid attention to this sort of thing but it usually boils down to "but I want money for melee" you just don't get that sort of thing with the other eSports, you don't see people complaining Activision doesn't sponsor Modern Warfare 2 tournaments in 2020.

Re: Feature: So, Who's Next For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Characters I want...
Non triforce Legend of Zelda character.
Non sword Fire Emblem character.
Non clone Star Fox fighter.
Monster Hunter. (Multi weapon like Byleth)
Dragonborn (multi weapon)

And Geralt, I don't actually want him in but he might as well add smash to crossovers.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"

I think it's "fine", not bad or good.

The games I'm currently playing are at the forefront which means switching (between digital) games I'm actively playing is quick.

It's is a bugger if I'm going looking for something in particular. Of cause I'd like extra features but I can easily live with the current home UI

@fluggy Don't get me wrong I agree but Game Sharing (on both PS4 and X1) isn't really intentional it is just a loophole in the "play your games at your friends' house" account system not an official feature.

If MS or Sony decided to close it (like Nintendo) they need the other to do it too, I know more than a couple of gamesharers who'll happily jump ship if it means not having to buy "every game"

Re: Switch's NES And SNES Games Will No Longer Be Added Monthly

I'm sure this has to do with the classic issue of licencing and actually getting games on the service. Third parties don't want to launch their classic titles via Nintendo when they can do it themselves and make all the money. Alternatively, the game contains, or the game itself is an IP without a clear owner.

Do yourself a favour and only expect Nintendo made games on these things, that way the other games are a neat surprise.
