The only thing I was looking for in this review was how it ran on Switch. I've read and listened to enough reviews from other places to know that I'll probably enjoy it. Push Square gave it an 8, IGN a 7, Kinda Funny gave it 3 out of 5. I think I'll still get it but maybe not on Switch.
Push Square review is up and they gave it an 8 which is great news. Hopefully Switch performance can handle what this game throws at it and it reviews similarly.
Never finished Bayo 1. Bayo 2 I'm about a quarter the way through and enjoying it. I've no idea whats going on but it's great fun. Will likely play 3 someday but its not on my purchase radar anytime soon. Will wait for a sale sometime.
Hellena's trying to brush the story under the carpet now because more facts are coming out against her. For her behaviour in all of this I'm glad they dropped her. What a weird story.
@Dr_Luigi That might be your expereince but it's not everyones. I've been playing cloud games for almost 3 years now with no issues. Does that mean everyones experience will be good like mine? No.
If I didn't have access to it on Xbox I'd have no problem going for the cloud version. Have bought previous cloud versions of games on Switch and they've worked well.
Companies get in hot water all the time over much worse stuff than this and gamers come up with excuses to justify still buying the game they want to play. "I'm supporting the developers that work there" etc etc. No chance people will boycott over this.
Good luck getting gamers to boycott. The ones who do boycott are people who didn't plan on buying the game anyways and just like to look the hero online. And the ones that buy the game will use the excuses like "I'm supporting the game developers" spiel.
I'm on holidays at the moment so can't get good enough WiFi to jump into the Splatfest. So I'm jumping between a pirate life on Monkey Island and a classic I never got around to playing in Portal 2. Loving both.
Haven't played an NBA game in a few years, will likely wait for the big drop in price in the new year before I dive into this one, and probably not on Switch but another platform.
@DiamondJim I guess they're reviewing the game and not the filesize. I agree it would have been nice to mention it but at the end of it all it's the game experience thats being reviewed here.
People expect too much everytime there's a Direct. I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by a good few announcements. Well done Nintendo.
Is there irony in the fact the people who are gender fluid assumed this character's gender, but if I assume a gender fluid person's gender I get abuse?
Really looking forward to this. Put a lot of hours into the last game but probably haven't played it once in the last year or 2. Looking forward to jumping back in.
I'm a newbie. BOTW was my first. I've since played the remake of Links Awakening and didnt enjoy it, and currently playing Skyward Sword and really enjoying it.
It's been over 5 years since the last one. That's enough time to justify a sequel. Looking forward to jumping back in. Splatoon 2 is in my Top 5 favourite Switch games. I'm optimistic that 3 will be even better.
@UltimateOtaku91 I think most review sites regard 10 out of 10 as "A Masterpiece" or "Amazing", rather than claiming the game is perfect or flawless. A game can have some minor issues and still be regarded as amazing
Looks great but can't justify that price. I love the cheaper statues they make and have bought a few of them. They look great on display in the games room.
The game is great fun on local game nights. But none of my friends own a copy so I tend to not play too much. Dont have friends to start an online team and I'm not too bothered about teaming up with strangers. Its a pity, the gameplay is fun.
@tylerryan79 Ya I did a bit of research into them before as to why there was such a difference in price with some of them. I'm happy enough getting the cheaper versions. They look great up on the Game Room display shelf. Some of the F4F designs are great, just wish they made more at the cheaper end of the scale.

Just started this recently. Apart from all the pop-up tutorial stuff at the very start, it's a lot of fun.

Like most games these days, will be waiting for reviews.

Great that it's coming to the platform. Not something I'll be playing though.

Re: Surprise! A Free Mario Strikers Switch Demo Is Now Available On The eShop
It's a fun game for a few minutes if you've got friends over. But by no means a must have game. Online is dispointing.
Re: Review: Sifu - Sloclap's Kung-Fu Epic Revives Itself On Switch
Will pick it up at some point but not sure if I'll get it on Switch or PS5 yet.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Is Out Today On Switch, Are You Getting It?
If it runs well on Switch I'll get it there. If not, I'll get it somewhere else.
Re: Site News: So, Where's Our Sonic Frontiers Review?
@Snatcher And IGN gave it a 7 so all in all it's looking decent.

Re: Poll: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version Is Out Today On Switch, Will You Be Getting It?
@Dr_Luigi They've got it good enough that I dont notice it to be honest. I play on xCloud regularly with no issues.
Re: Poll: A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version Is Out Today On Switch, Will You Be Getting It?
@michaelf Stadia technology worked really well. It was Google themselves that was the problem there.

Enjoy it everyone. Not my kinda game so gonna pass on this one but sounds like it's gonna be a hit on Switch.

Looks good. Optimistic for a good movie here.
Re: UK Charts: FIFA 23 Knocks Splatoon 3 Off The Top Spot
@Anti-Matter Or, maybe just let people enjoy the games they like?

Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?
Still not signed up to this service as I think it's a tad on the pricey side. But maybe in the future I'll dip in to it for the odd month or 2.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
People expect too much everytime there's a Direct. I went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by a good few announcements. Well done Nintendo.

Guess I've been lucky so far, no connection issues for me. Never had any issues with Splatoon 2 either.

Picking it up today but won't get to play until tomorrow.

Has anything been mentioned about voice chat for this game? Is it through the app again?

It's too expensive for my collection. Looks cool but will have to pass.

Is there irony in the fact the people who are gender fluid assumed this character's gender, but if I assume a gender fluid person's gender I get abuse?

Really looking forward to this. Put a lot of hours into the last game but probably haven't played it once in the last year or 2. Looking forward to jumping back in.

@romanista @__jamiie yep, that was confirmed.
Re: Random: People Are Getting Pretty Worried About Splatoon 3
It's been over 5 years since the last one. That's enough time to justify a sequel. Looking forward to jumping back in. Splatoon 2 is in my Top 5 favourite Switch games. I'm optimistic that 3 will be even better.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
There's no one thing that stands out. I love the collection I have as a whole. It tells my video game history.

@Zverik where are you seeing €50? It's €40 in my local shop boxed copy.
Re: Random: Up Or Down The Stairs? Super Mario Illusion Confuses The Internet
You can tell by the positioning of his left foot, it has to be going up. No one would walk downstairs like that.

Looks great but can't justify that price. I love the cheaper statues they make and have bought a few of them. They look great on display in the games room.

Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
It was 1990 and the game was TMNT on MS DOS. Mind blowing to my 5 year old brain. First Nintendo game was Duckhunt at a friends house.
