Want so much

been playing some Drive Club VR lately, and its so great to race in VR. Mario Kart would be amazing

I liked this ok on PS4, but I didn't really get why everyone was raving about it. I found the gameplay very trial and error and the only real difficulty I had was when solutions or items were hidden, usually by the gloomy environments. I remember this one bit that baffled me, until I realised there was a lever that i was simply running past repeatedly without seeing it. Its a good enough game, with great art direction. But I always see massive praise with little counter argument.

I saw it through to the end, but I'd never touch it again.

I was so excited to try this, and downloaded the demo on PS4. But I found the first 10min so repellent that I deleted it immediately.

"It’s guilty of being rather tasteless at times, looking for cheap shocks " is an important part of this review to bare in mind.

@Silly_G You make some really good points.

While I'm not trying to invalidate any of your points, I want to offer some totally subjective counterpoints.

Regarding quality and whether vinyl should exist (not that I buy vinyl myself): I like pixel art. But I really like pixel art with scan line filters and blur that look like games used to look on a CRT tv. Its less crisp and precise, even more so if you add curvature, but I really like it. Others like to see pixel perfect. To each their own and both have a right to exist because there is a market.

When it comes to music I often find a lossless format available for albums I buy on Bandcamp, for example. But I take the MP3s anyway, becasue they're small and convenient and I just don't care that much.

On the digital versus physical issue, I think that physical is going no where, probably ever. Because some people like it, like vinyls. But a digital only future is also quite appealing from a convenience point of view. And then each physical game comes with multiple updates etc that mean your game was not on the cart / disc in the first place. So I don't really know why anyone is worried about this. Analyst and business will make statements and decisions and they will learn what the market wants.

And vinyls will continue to be sold everywhere.

@MegaTen precisely

@BruMeister They do.

@darthstuey not so much sarcastic. Ironic. Real world evidence shows that the analogue / digital / download shakedown that happened and continues to happen in music ended up that whatever medium you want is still pretty widely available. And that you should not take what analysts say too seriously.

@Sakura Bingo!

Vinyl is dead. It's a completely worthless medium in the face of new technologies. You'll never see it for sale in stores again.

And unlike Yoku's Island and Celeste , it launched at the right price!

I never know about Ys. I tried one of the Vita ones, and liked it for a few hours and then get really bored, especially found it repetitive, and many of the characters annoyed me.

But I want to like it. It feels like I should like it. tempted to try again.

@Shiryu I'd not worked far enough back in your discography to find that yet. Looking forward to it this evening.

I'll accept that you may be AS big a fan as me.

Most anticipated game of the year for me a this point. The first is probably my favorite PS3 game.

Although I can't tell if you're being serious about "stumbled upon a rather odd Disney movie called TRON" - was it possible to avoid Tron when it was released? It was huge! And has been pretty huge and influential since then.

... or am I just a huge obsessive TRON geek?

I've been playing this almost exclusively since taking a chance on it on release Day. Its absolutely fantastic. The pacing is perfect with each run remaining incredibly thrilling and satisfying.

Most disappointing Nintendo E3 in many years. After not really touching PS4 in a year and a half, I came away from E3 with a list of 6 exciting PS4 games and 0 Switch games.

haven't actually bought Splatoon 2, since I tired of the first rather fast, even though I liked it a fair bit.

But I kind of wish I could buy this as stand alone! Its more appealing to me than the main game.

I find rotating pixels in pixel art incredibly sad to look at.

I was happily surprised by Oxenfree. Was not convinced enough by reviews until it went on a sale. Ended up entirely engrossed in it. Absolutely loved everything except the loading times.

Definitely will try this one.

Honestly - will only try Fornite on Switch if I do not need to hear other players. Voice chat is a hard no fro me.

I remember really enjoying the first couple of hours of this, all those years ago. Problem was that I could stop. And quickly, it got boring pretty fast.

No music ever please.

I enjoyed it in PS4 for a bit but after a couple of hours I found it pretty dull and repetitive.

Looking forward to it. Unfortunately it will be missing my favourite thing about transformed on Wii U - local 2 player with 2 screens.

I don't normally play fighting games, but tha looks amazing

I love the simplicity of the store, so I'm not really keen on much of this.

The one thing I really want is a cart so I can pile in a whole lot of stuff and then discard til I'm happy with the price. I actually feel like Nintendo has missed a lot of sales form me becasue of this.

Load times seem to be a very common issue on Switch. Painful on Oxenfree, load times have basically stopped my enjoyment of Night in the Woods. And several reviews have mentioned them lately.

I have to admit that I was disappointed by this. Just finished it 2 days ago. Its beautiful, but there's so many irritations in the gameplay I found myself often wondering how it was released without more refinement. Example - enemies you run straight into as the screen moves to the next area. Or that jump/fly/stop flying are on one button, but flying can also be initiated by pressing up while jumping just leads to endless accidental falls.

Still, good for them and I'm still glad I played it. But I wanted to LOVE it, and just couldn't

It's just so ugly.

This is incredibly impressive. And totally wonderful.

I was so excited for this on Wii U, but my goodness did I find a dull time.

first looks weird because its Mario in green.

Then look super weird 'cos he's wearing Broodal bits! yuck.

This looks absolutely awesome.

this looks like it could end my social life and possibly my career.

I've always been interested in these, but don't know Naruto at all. Cheap in one package, I might jump in

In what way is this Fear Effect?Name and character only?

OMG, I had missed that this was coming to Switch! I'm so happy. I loved the first one (2nd was OK, but so gimped by being on PSP). Had been wondering how I would ever find time to play it on PS4.

Not since the PS4? You make me feel old, it's as though that was just a few years ago!

So intrigued by this. But I don't like rogue likes or rhythm games especially. So will likely wait for a sale before risking it. But it sure looks great

nope

I won't be double dipping, but I absolutely adored it on Vita. Highly recommend it.

Their entire approach to Nindies says otherwise. It’s not a bad thing, but they market them this way, give them space in presentations under this banner etc etc.

Wouldn't it be great if they got rid of the carts and just let them run

I probably own more versions of Magical Drop 3 than any other game.

And I will get it again. These Hamster ports are fantastic.

I'm so glad I didn't buy this yet.

In my opinion if there was any more to it it would be hard to recommend. Its short length and lack of padding make it a pleasure to play. It respects your time.

A steel book! What a treat!

(Not a treat. No that special edition seems hugely overpriced and totally pointless. For awesome special edition, see Xenoblade 2. I really wanted to be excited for this, the rerelease of my favourite action game, but I'm really disappointed)

I really enjoyed it on Vita. No reason to get it again, but fun little game.

Time to buy a second Switch!

@QwertyQwerty Exactly the track!

Missing Hellfire. Inexcusable, especially for its music.
