@Nep-Nep-Freak nobody said there were no nice use cases for AI. The problem is that most of the scenarios so far were immoral, lazy and sh*tty in other ways.
"Reportedly aware"? I hate it when people doubt if the company is aware of a problem entire internet is talking about. Like how could they possibly be unaware of this? They probably get hundreds of emails, DMs and social media comments about it daily too. So yeah, let's be real.
@xmkbest I think that Wii and Wii U era was when Nintendo was the least popular in Poland. But before that, GameBoys, Nintendo 64 and GameCube were a thing in Poland. For rich kids, yes, but still.
> Nintendo was basically unknown in Poland some 10-15 years ago, but these days it's quite popular!
What? This is not true. Nintendo was always popular in Poland. Yes, we used to have a dupe of NES called Pegazus, but people knew it's Nintendo's dupe even back then. I'd say that Nintendo's products used to be too expensive in Poland for most people and that's why they didn't sell as much as in some other countries. But saying that Nintendo wasn't popular is not true.
@Hwatt I'm Polish and lektor is natural for me. It's actually a good concept. Lektor's voice needs to be neutral and it serves as translation, while original track is means to show you actor's emotions. You focus on the lektor, but you also hear if the actor speaks quietly or shouts etc. I think it's much better than the cheap dubbing that TV stations do in other countries. In Poland we love lektors' voices, they are also old school when it comes to their work ethic. Lektors have perfect enunciation.
The delay is crazy, but I must say that Croc is probably the smoothest 3D game I've played on the Switch. Literally zero frame drops, croc-solid (sorry) 60 fps.
Do you guys think there's a correlation between liking DK Bananza and liking Luigi's Mansion? I didn't like neither of them, but i feel like perhaps they deliver the same kind of experience of exploration for people who are into these things. For me personally, both of these are a really, really boring chore.
I'm always a bit suspicious about these online achievements. Is this protected from cheating in any way? They could always prerecord and edit the gameplay.
@molkom yeah, I'm pretty sure they introduced some interesting concepts that have been done better later by other games. I'll give them another go at some point though.
@kal_el_07241 perhaps it's about the time like you said. I was late to the party when it comes Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World. I grew up playing Super Mario Bros and Super Mario 64. I like the simplicity of these games and I also love the newer Mario games, like Super Mario Odyssey or Super Mario Wonder. The thing I don't like about World or 3 is that it's neither simple or complex enough to be fun for me. These games are too random and I also don't like the art style in them.
Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros 3 are almost always concluded to be the best Mario games, while they are some of my least favorite Mario games. I just don't get the hype about them.
Used to be I played NES games when I was kid, despite by using pirated cartridge with 100 games in 1 including the bootlegs like Kungfu Mario.
But I have no longer interest with NES games anymore.
I have no longer interest with retro 8 bit games.
My biggest issue with Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the 30 FPS, so I'm happy it's finally fixed. 3D platformers really should run at 60 fps at least, it's completely different experience.
Side note, I still remember my evil laughter about all these reviewers calling this game easy. You can tell they haven't 100%-ed it.
This article actually made me sad. It's the price we pay for insanely easy access to information, which is relatively new for humanity. The magic is gone, everything is awaiting to be spoiled just around the corner. And like someone said above - yes, we don't need to look. But knowing it's there doesn't come for free, mentally.
We should really destroy the culture of this sick inequality ASAP. I understand giving someone more, but not THAT MUCH. We should respect all people who work on company's success. CEO is important, but not 1000 times more than the others.
@Mattock1987 I'm somewhere between a casual player and a pro player - I race on 200cc in MK8 easily, but I usually don't win online, because I'm not THAT dedicated to the game and I don't know all the shortcuts etc. That being said, there are many people who play Mario Kart a lot and we should let them speak. If they don't like the change, they know what they're saying. If I don't eat pickles, I don't go and tell pickle lovers to shut up when the biggest pickle brand changes the recipe for worse.
@undeadly can you please explain your thought process when you say "Nobody is forcing you to buy it"? I can't get my head around folks who think this fixes anything about the problems people complain about. Like for example, there's an influencer who's considered a bad example for children and then some people think it fixes the problem when they say "but nobody's forced to watch". Like WTF?
I usually play in handheld mode and just from time to time docked. My Switch OLED is 3 and a half years old, not a single scratch. I don't use screen protectors, because I don't like them. How do people scratch these screens?
I can't wait to play PAL version of Gex: Enter the Gecko. His voice was hypnotizing. I was really surprised to find out that American version had completely different voice used, so much less unique.
@RogerFederer to be fair, I've never played online. But as for the tracks, keep in mind that only the best ones made it through to MK8 Deluxe and even those were slightly improved.
@RogerFederer actually the first Mario Kart I experienced was Mario Kart 64 (absolutely unplayable for me today). Then GBA (boring today) and SNES (boring too). Then 7 - I liked it when I played it for the first time, but I tried it again like a year ago. I was susprised to find out that driving was so dull. Wide and empty tracks. You keep pushing forward, you are perfectly first all the time and then randomly get hit by a blue shell and lose. It happens in 8 Deluxe too, of course, but it's less common and there's more skill involved in the driving in 8 Deluxe, as there is much more going on.
@RogerFederer I disagree with 7 being the best, let alone by far. I think 8 Deluxe is the best by very far, followed by World. Older Mario Kart instances suffer from boring driving mechanics and too much randomness.
It's a solid game, but it's nowhere near as great as MK8 Deluxe. MK World reminds me of the older Mario Kart games, but with improved graphics. It's just missing something.
