I really enjoyed the more linear style. I loved Breath Of The Wild, but there is nothing like scouring a dungeon for a relic to vanquish the foes in your path.. I did like the fact that you got all the gear at the beginning. I truly missed the hookshot!
I can't wait.. Actually I can. I was going to get it launch day, but my wife told me to wait as my son is getting it for me for Christmas. She didn't want to spoil his surprise for me, but she also knew how excited he was to get me something that I really want. I haven't played it in years, and even then it was on PS3. I never beat it on PS3.
@Agramonte I agree 100% if they want to add DLC for skins or outfits that's fine.... I personally only bought story DLC, and not much then. The Xenoblade DLC is outrageous! I would purchase story driven DLC, but the rest of the stuff I don't care about. Therefore I will not purchase any of it unless they separate the story DLC.
@Marios-love-child I missed that article. That sucks major. My favorite racing franchise. I do not game online so therefore GT Sport is a no go for me.. Oh well least thanks for the info.
Depending on how well the One X does will probably dictate when the PS5 drops. If it doesn't preform well then I can see Sony riding the PS4 for a while longer. If the One X starts capturing market share from Sony then I think Sony will release the PS5 ASAP. Although I do not see the X gaining any more momentum than the One has. Depending on the momentum that Nintendo has next year could also dictate the release of the PS5. I can see Sony doing that to widen the tech gap with Nintendo to try and make them obsolete to third party devs.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I was discussing this with my brother a couple of days ago. Most of the first generation of 3D gaming has aged very bad! SNES games like A Link To The Past have aged much better than anything on N64. I tried playing Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver, and while I enjoy the story the graphics and gameplay are horrible.
@Marios-love-child GT Sport isn't a mainline GT game from what I read, and wasn't meant to replace the numbered release. I'm hoping GT 7 is in the works for PS4.
@Amsterdamsters you are correct. Uncharted 4 took I think it was another 14 GB download on my PS4. I still think Nintendo should have gone with 64 or 128 internal storage.
@kobashi100 Nintendo could help offset the price of the carts. I don't know how much they are. What is going to happen when a dev puts a game on the Switch that is 40GB? They could use a 32GB card and still need additional download and SD card. Nintendo made a poor decision on the internal memory of the Switch.
Speaking as a Switch owner. Everybody is quick to crucify Rockstar.... Could they have used a 32GB card? Yes they could. It wasn't Rockstar who designed the console with a measly 32GB internal storage. At the quantity Nintendo would have been purchasing flash memory how much more would it have cost to go with 64 or 128? My phone has more storage than the Switch. Again Nintendo could help offset this cost by absorbing part of the cart costs. Yes Nintendo is out to make money, but they are going to need 3rd part support.
The way I play is largely dependent on which game it is. Zelda and Mario are primarily played docked. While Shovel Knight and Axiom Verge are played split but primarily in handheld mode. I guess you could say triple a games I play primarily in docked mode.
This game really is beautiful. I loved Dynasty Warriors 3 but didn't feel the need to play any of the others. I may pick this up later on down the road.
Never completed this on PS3.. Kind of broke the game with the armor and weapons that I created. Then my PS3 quit on me. Guess I will get back into it on The Switch!
I love mine! I feel satisfied with my purchase. This console has completely changed the way I game. No longer do I have to dedicate an hour or more to sitting in front of the TV.. I can play for 5 minutes or 1 hour wherever I am at. When I need to put it down I put it to sleep and do what I need to do. I split handheld and docked. My children usually watch my TV, so handheld is mostly what I use. Me and my buddies have Mario Kart tournaments at lunch break. The Switch is my go to system.
I hope they bring the first one to the Switch. I never played it. So I am not wanting to play this one until the first one. I hate to pay $50 for it used. I guess that will be my only option if I want to play this one when it comes out.
Well I guess that counts me out. Haven't played any of the others before. I can't start a game in the middle of a series. So here's to hoping they release the other 2 on the Switch.
Will wait to see some reviews. I want a good racer. I enjoy Mario Kart, but want something like this to play one player. I really want a new main line Gran Turismo. If I understand correctly Sport is online multiplayer built for esports not a main line game.
After playing PSVR I highly doubt the Switch will be capable of delivering a good experience, especially with a 720p screen resolution. I love the Switch, but PSVR could even use more horsepower.
I'd really be surprised if it didn't come to Switch. If it doesn't I don't think that Square said screw Nintendo. More like Sony not wanting it to release on Nintendo.
As soon as I saw the trailer for the pocket edition I though...... This would probably come to the Switch. I have it on PS4 and it is a very beautiful game. I don't know if the Switch could handle it even at 720p. It would be nice for people who have never played it. Maybe it could. If they could get the full version running on the Switch then there is no reason for any other AAA to not make it on there.
I wish they would just come on with the Virtual Console for the Switch. This is cool and all, but i don't want to buy a NES classic, SNES classic, and a N64 classic. I would love to have them all on one console I can take and play on the go!
The Joy Con controller is actually comfortable to me but I want to get another controller to play two player games with a full controller. I thought about another set of Joy Con just in case 4 player situations occurred. Is the Pro controller really worth $70? I don't mind the Joy Con for one player games, but using a single Joy Con for extended periods of time does cause some cramping.
Hopefully they are taking so long because they are going to release the whole catalog of games that are on the Wii U and some. But it will probably be after the subscription service launches.
Just curious. Is the gameplay for this better than the older ones? I have Freedom Unite on Vita and can't really get into it due to the controls. I may go back and try again. Again I know Freedom Unite is an older game. Never tried any others based on that one.
@BezBot I personally am going to buy two more for my two boys. That way they have their own and we can play games together without sacrificing screen real estate.
In my opinion this would be the perfect time to announce virtual console. If there is any surprises I doubt it will be any new Switch game announcements. I think they will save all that for E3. As the writer said Virtual Console E3 reveal would not be the in the best interest for Nintendo.
McMaster is a douchebag! He also said they were going to put a bullet in Google's head. Lol where are you now Kirt? Oh and where is Cyanogen?? Looks like you were told to stick it!
I do not really care for South Park but it is concerning to see all the "Game X is not coming to the Nintendo Switch" headlines. Been a bunch of that lately. I hope Nintendo will drop Virtual Console soon.
Looks like I will be calling Nintendo. Was waiting to see what they are going to do. Going to suck if I am without a way to play if I have to send mine in.
This is what is so infuriating about Nintendo! Either keeping quiet and and just acting like issues do not exist or "not right now". I understand that they want to announce services and such at their discretion. What I am taking about are the issues. Like the Joy Con issue. What are they going to do about that? Let me guess "nothing to announce at this time"
