@missingno_fgc @ArcticEcho I think that's a side effect of games coming from the Wii, a 480p console. If I remember correctly 1080 is around 16x more data than that so the average compromise seems to be cut the frames in half. I don't like it either but I don't have a solution, not a developer.

Honestly with Microsoft and Sony blowing their feet clean off after their new system releases Nintendo has probably started coasting to prepare for an upcoming crash.

I wanted one just for the Wii U pad style but I ultimately didn't when I realized what makes the Wii U pad/pro setup so comfortable is the buttons and sticks are still slanted like every other controller style. These are straight up and down so they would never be as comfortable. Glad I avoided them

AAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

@kendomustdie thanks for the update. I have to check now if any integral parts of Unreal 3 are tied to frame rounding. Might be why aiming feels worse if the frames drop like people have been saying.

@GOmar They may be talking about QOL things that should have happened like aiming being better or the puzzles being less monotonous. These were issues I had with the original while playing. Certain puzzles just needed one or two less steps cause they served no purpose story wise.

Played it during the 1.2 to 1.3 updates and it ran fine for me then. It was the first game in a while I 100% completed. I enjoyed it a ton and I'd love to try the new modes once all the updates are out. Also it seems weird to complain about the guy who helped pioneer the franchise and genre for bringing things with him from the games he's worked on. Guess you won't be trying that ReFantazio then since it has things from Persona.

@OorWullie If it is a 99 game I'd guess Zelda or Metroid. Those 2 would mesh well with that idea. And with my point I wanted to say with everything I've seen here like a Switchverse or the like, Nintendo has been very slow with Switch 2 things so maybe let's not get our hopes up here. A 99 game or something like that seems more plausible.

I hope no one is too bummed when it's just another 99 BR game with one of their IP. Don't have a lot of hope for Nintendo for this

@Gamergirl4 I feel very similar to you. I wish the Pokemon Company would add the finer details and buckle down on the performance, then go and add mechanics. Arceus was really close to how I've imagined the Pokemon games since the beginning. There are some things they need to add to make the worlds feel more alive besides just them not looking like polygonal garbage. I still want Pokemon getting into scuffles in the wild, flocks of flying pokemon overhead, and forests where the pokemon are in the trees. Nice things to show the world is "alive" and not just a game.

@gabrigoes Maybe Super robot wars? Or Custom Robo from the Gamecube?

@lovesushi Got Megaton on sale for half off and enjoyed the game until Megaton 2 difficulty. It was for the F2P part of the game and is stupidly brutal. Completely brought down my opinion of the game cause it highlights that Level 5 hasn't learned anything since LBX on the 3ds a decade ago. I SUPER enjoyed Gundam Breaker 3 and it had a way weaker "story mode" compared to Megaton Musashi. Its just cause you aren't locked into 4-5 mechs that are the only ones who can beat a level. GB4 has been very enjoyable so far.

@ArcadianLegend99 One day. ONE DAY!

I am actually watching a Alien: Isolation Let's Play right now and was thinking of playing the game again. This will be a great way of enjoying it since I love game guides especially the older ones where they'd have in-game style conversations or jokes.

I'm super excited for this game. Link's Awakening has always been one of my favorites and I loved the new art-style they used. This more than likely being the sequel fills me with such joy. Some of the comments here have me confused tho, why is the map being similar a issue?

Before the 1st Hyrule Warriors did the timeline fix. Also, sequel to Link's Awakening I'd bet.

I just want Xenoblade Chronicles X. Otherwise I'm indifferent until the next system is announced. I'd love to have more info on the next Pokemon Legends game but that's too far away.

@Anti-Matter Your situation is exactly what we want Nintendo to do. Instead of targeting people who are just making things for fun and trying to better what they can do, Nintendo needs to go after people like your San Andreas "dev." They are causing genuine harm to the IP, not something like a Godzilla in smash mod.
And then there's Bethesda who has been allowing modding on their PC games plus endorses it enough they tried to set up a system to get modders paid. It didn't work but they tried.
So yes, whomever made your "San Andreas" thing is terrible, but not all modders are. Some just want to have more fun with what they love and the technical know-how to make it happen.

I've said for years if Nintendo really wanted to use Amiibo they should make a Diablo style game in the Subspace Emissary plot.
You have a team of characters and the amiibo can hold their equipment and move choices.
Then, they have a feature like the pawn system from Dragon's Dogma where you can send someone your amiibo data and they could load it on their amiibo and use your character. Then you get rewards for helping.
It lets friends play together even if they can't actually play at the same time, people still need amiibo to buy and now there is a reason for multiple copies, plus both parties benefit from the process. Also I just think that kind of game would be fun.

It's hard to for me to want it when "What did this happen?" is in their official PR blurb.

@TheMainMii @dr_Corndog There was a server boss as well that would respawn like in Dragon's Dogma. Co-op missions and the boss gave tickets that could be traded in for useful materials, Skells, or equipment. It's a really good addition to single player games when it's done right, and it added to the overall story in this game.

Is the online system better than Xenoverse 2 at least? I want to co-op with my brother and having the maximum amount of steps for the least amount of play time isn't fun.

Much happier with the remake looking at them side by side. The original has everything looking like high quality PNGs. The remake makes everything have a physical space and I enjoy the "weight" it creates with that. I think I'll have an easier time with timing thanks to that.

Just gonna put this down now to date my idea. What if it's a marketing ploy for the next Switch? Play your favorite switch games in higher detail than ever before, that sort of thing. They chose graphical fidelity for these last few games and have the next Switch patch them to run smoothly. Just a thought I've been having since Violet/Scarlet.

@EarthboundBenjy Actually the button on another controller makes tons of sense as an older sibling. On the 64 & GC if you weren't sure player 2 would actually mess with something you'd plug the controller into slot 3 so your sibling could "join in" without messing anything up, tell them slot 2 was bugged so leave it for guests, and if you put it in slot 4 they knew they weren't really playing.

I love that they keep discovering old game secrets as well. The Punch-Out secret knock-out frames are my favorite so far. Single frame blinks of audience members for instant kos. HOW would you find that out back in the day? What person could have looked at someone blinking in the audience and thought "I need to punch right now." Its incredible.

Interesting thought. And it's definitely something that's crossed my mind on purchases. I haven't gotten that new Yu-Gi-Oh game cause I feel like I'll be outpaced just starting the game. The title shows it's the umpteenth game and that there is so much there that you might not be able to keep up depending on how it's dished out to you. I also haven't gotten the "longest titled game" for the other reason. If that's all you have to your game, that the title is longer than any other game, what does that say about the quality of the game? It looks like you put the most work into the title and that might turn off potential buyers...it did, I haven't bought that game and it's one I would normally try.

Hadn't even heard of BAFTA before since I'm american but seeing the list tho is funny. This was the equivalent of asking for a "grand/parents react video." Everything seems to be judged on Britishness and it kinda feels like Laura won cause she'd point at you whenever you had her look at the screen...with no hands ;-D

What's the over/under on it being a man-child who didn't make it even to qualifiers?

It really goes to show you that customer service is the most important part of retail. My GameStop employees are amazing and we even became actual friends. I even worked part-time at their store to help them out during a christmas season. They know it's corporate ruining things so they just want to run their game store as best they can and it shows.

@Astral-Grain I forget the internet scoring system has changed for people. 5/10 just means it's an average run of the mill game of that genre for me. Not good, not bad, just something I'd play to beat. It sucks but not every game can be a banger, you need some mediocre ones and some bad ones to really appreciate the good ones. And I'm not saying this game is bad, just seems pretty average for farming/community sim games. I just like the support they're putting in and that's why I'll buy it.

@Astral-Grain I'm guessing with review sites it more than likely comes down to who is the most available for a review, since there are a lot of games they have to play, with the occasional "I've played this series before, let me see how they've upgraded/butchered this release." Each of whom require different things to make a great score.

For the series/genre veteran, the newest addition or latest farming sim in this case, has to improve upon the older titles, still maintain the feel of the games, and give reasons for newcomers to join in.

For those with less experience in a series or genre, the gameplay has to be grabbing, the graphics have to interest them, or the game has to have good pacing, these are what keep them interested.

If this game was as buggy as they say it was, it's possible the gameplay loops were tedious, which is the worst thing for any game but it really hurts sim games by stifling your creativity because it messes with your pace.

I am glad they're still working on it and I might buy it soon, I can appreciate when the devs care about the game and keep it going for a long time.

The fact that the story is simpler is a huge bonus to me, not a con. I'm so tired of all the existential stuff in my games. Sometimes I just want a save the world quest with no "why do we exist" or "multiverse deus ex machina." The fact that this is a classic good guys v bad guys makes me more excited for it.

Pidgeot? Yes. Mega Pidgeot? YAAAAS! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LET MEGA PIDGEOT COME BACK!

@electrolite77 We have a ignore button under people's posts. I use it quite a bit cause the people online just get worse and worse as time goes on.

So try just to Ignore those who you won't get along with and enjoy the site more. I know I have.

This fills me with pure joy. Love the breaker series (sans New) and it being on Switch with no importing is wonderful.

Finally a Wii U config controller. The fact that it doubles as a dock is a sweet bonus. I've found the Wii U style to be the most comfortable for 3D games.

People are going to go crazy here if it's Let's Go Wooper.

@Not_Soos Some people made an internet system for DS games that's still running. You can find it online and I used it for Digimon World Dusk. Someone might have made a 3DS server for it or maybe there's already a 3DS network alternative available

Honestly, not that crazy of a metric here. Several of the content creators I watch have or are still playing the games. While their Twitch subs are 2k+ their YouTube channels reach millions each with one having 20 million subscribers. Looking at it that way, 25% of their subs enjoyed the content enough to buy or play it on GamePass. That's it. Its just word of mouth is at the speed of light now because that's how the internet works.
The bigger question is; will they be able to keep them? If they just leave the game as-is, it'll be dead in month. If they actually update and support it the game has staying power even if you don't understand why. It at least has a functioning gameplay loop that satisfies what people have been wanting, that's the easiest way to look at it.

@-wc- When we had ours we had a 2k game, Slave Zero, Guts Beserk's Rage, the jewel game that came with the system I think, and one more crazy game. Thinking back now, the 1st party games being broken (wheeeeeeeew Sonic) and the 3rd party games being non-existent or just plain bizarre makes me think the Dreamcast was never going to make it. How sad.

@-wc-
A)THAT IS CORREEEECT!
B)Played Slave Zero on the dreamcast. Weirdly enough, it was pretty fun from what I remember.

Mischief Makers and Silicon Valley are 2 brilliant gems hidden on the N64. Most people I knew passed them over for better looking games but I had more fun in those than Goldeneye. Goldeneye is still amazing I was just surprised at how good they were then. Haven't played either in a while but I know MM still holds up.

CS:GO has had a functioning "NFT" market for a decade with their skins and somehow NO ONE used them as a baseline for their new "ecosystems." That was clue number one this whole NFT thing was cool only in idea but never would be properly used.

@PinderSchloss Oh what joy that would bring me if they announced a sequel to one of my favorite games on the new hardware. Just, be a direct sequel in some way please. I want some answers and "it's just cause it's Traverse Town" ain't cutting it anymore (my personal ending explanation.)

@Classic603 Oh very much so. It also finishes and fully explains the story of the first game.

@yokokazua Even without flying the Skells just made exploring so much fun. Trying to figure out the right combination of maneuvers to get where you shouldn't be, just wonderful. My favorite thing still, was getting the disk launchers with extra mags and freezing my Wii U.

Zelda A Link to the Past for classics and XCX for modern games. Both games just made me feel giddy when exploring the worlds and always stick in my head.

@__Link__ The article title says it's a new co-op game so the question is; Will there be local co-op or online only? That and is it PVE or PVP? If it's waves/tower defense I'm all in, if it's another BR or adjacent game, I'm just tired of them so I'll pass.

I wonder if Jirard had his dad manage his finances and now he's in the terrible place of do I choose my family or decency? He's stated many times his dad's idea of fun was making money and never cared for Jirard's career choice. Would definitely make the court case super awkward if that were to be true.

No matter what, everyone loses something here though. Even if it's not Jirard's fault no one will trust him again, the devs get the wrong kind of publicity, and we just get bummed more and more that people just keep sucking.

@FlashFan207 I'm a Barry guy myself but Wally is awesome, hands down. The 2000s DC animated stuff is what I wish was the standard for DC content instead of the outlier. The shows did a great job a making the heroes real people and didn't need the giga-brooding that covers everything nowadays, even for Batman.
