Re: GTA Trilogy Dataminers Find Missing Music In Code As Problems Mount For 'Definitive' Release

@RupeeClock I sure hope that's sarcasm. Every game has cut content in it that just has access to it cut off. That's because there's likely a huge amount of code that references the cut content, and to remove all references to it would take a lot of work and QA testing to make sure it works afterwards. Removing the content completely can break the game or introduce more bugs.

Re: Uh-Oh, Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer' Is Generating A Lot Of Dislikes

Making the prices $29.99US and $49.99US for the single and family accounts respectively would have been a lot easier to swallow. The rumor is that much of this price increase will be going to Sega for licensing, and if that's true and that they can't reduce the price of the service, then they'll need to really ramp up the incentives. Like.... eshop discounts, exclusive gold point multiiers on purchases, or just SOMETHING. Not everyone wants the new Animal Crossing expansion, and that'd not a crime.

Re: Nintendo Asks That You Don't Co-Stream The E3 2021 Nintendo Direct, Thanks Very Much

@Razer the Switch has been out for 4 years, the PS4 has been out for 8. Additionally, the Switch has outsold the PS4 in their home market of Japan by several million units. The Switch is most likely to overtake the PS4 lifetime sales in 2 years, 3 max. If Nintendo launches a significant update to the Switch (you know like Sony did with their PS4 pro?), then they'll overtake the PS4 even sooner.

Re: Video: Do Faster Micro SD Cards Actually Improve Load Times On Switch?

The answer for these is always "it depends". The card reader and memory bus on the Switch is the max it'll ever get. So the super speed cards won't help. BUT, the cheap and unreliable cards can run much slower than the standard cards. I bought a cheap off-brand card for my 3DS and played Monster Hunter 4 from it, and when it would save my game, It would take 3 to 4 minutes. Replacing it with a more standard card solved it.

Re: Poll: DOOM Eternal Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?

I got it for PC to play on my new gaming laptop and it runs beautifully there, but doesn't take advantage of RTX like I hoped. The game requires me to remember many more buttons on my keyboard than Doom 2016, and in a slower game that might be fine, but kept getting me killed in a game like this. I got Doom Eternal on Switch and, aside from one section that was blurrier than the rest of the first level for some reason in handheld mode, this is a really impressive port.
