Re: Review: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - The Weirdest Entry In The Series Is Still Worth A Look On Switch

consolfreak1982

I adore FF8 - it’s wasn’t my first FF and I really loved 7 but 8 was so cool back then .. Edea gives me chills still ... and the Soundtrack ... it’s glorious ... surely one of the best jrpg soundtracks of all time! I LOVE the remastered character models - oh my god they look so good ... but seriously guys - those backgrounds !!! God damn !! My eyes start bleeding I mean seriously ? Washed out af!!! It looks so lowres Jesus ... the ps1 og looked better! Square - what the fish? How can they remaster the characters with so much detail and leave the backgrounds behind completely??? It’s immersion braking! Still , I love FF8. The soundtrack alone is a 10/10. Great review tho , the score is acceptable for this fanboy haha! Oh and this time I’ll beat Omega!!!

Re: Random: Ed Boon Finds Recent Mortal Kombat 11 Roster Leak Laughable

consolfreak1982

I expect the core roster to be somewhat equal to X , and I guess there will be dlc chars as well again .. a lot of characters were absent in X and I was hoping for a bigger roster this time - ideally the full cast like a current gen „mk Armageddon“ but with new chars as well - oh and a character editor ! Wishful thinking lol

Re: BlazBlue: Central Fiction Special Edition Has Been Revealed For Nintendo Switch

consolfreak1982

I already have this on the PS4 but if they bring back the English Orginal voiceover cast I’d be tempted to buy it again - the lack of English voices (Japanese only) was a huge letdown for me since ArcSys somewhat skipped on the English voices for CF .. I played every BB game and the voices of the characters just sticked on me and also fitted well - hearing them talk Japanese only with subtitles was a huge letdown for me since I love the story mode of BB.

Re: Nintendo Posts Job Listings For Switch User Interface Engineers

consolfreak1982

I would highly appreciate an overhaul of the switch interface! I think it lacks in design and structure and I also think it’s about time YouTube comes on the switch as well! The store needs a redesign and could be more accessible and appealing as well. Some more personalization options like themes for example are missing as well! But as it is it’s still functional although I think there’s much room for improvement! Maybe the new engineers will bring some new fresh spirit with them and we see some new features added soon - fingers crossed ^^

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Version 1.3.0 Will Go Live Next Week

consolfreak1982

After having spent almost 150 hours .. what hurts me the most is that you can now skip those core crystal opening animation .. in all honesty guys - I don’t know how much of my playtime I’ve spent enduring that overly long scenes... my stomach crumbles now lol anyways - I’m getting somewhat excited for the new game plus! Hell I want those Torna Blades and drivers !!! Gosh - when will I be able to play someting else again lol it’s also great that they still work on improving the map and sorting options!

Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty 2018 Could Be Black Ops 4, And It Might Be Headed To Switch

consolfreak1982

Hmmm interesting rumor .. i mean at some point a CoD just has to come out on the switch - I was guessing it will be „Modern Warfare Remastered“ since it’s one of the most beloved and famous in the serious and I think the Remaster would fit perfectly on the Switch without pushing the hardware too much! I would also appreciate the „BO3 zombie chronicles“ on the switch! Either way - it’s about time for CoD to come to the switch! Will be an instant buy and push the console even further (just imagine modern warfare remastered on the go !! Wouldn’t it be insane as to take that amazing title and multiplayer anywhere?)

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Service Will Go Live This September

consolfreak1982

Ugh .. right at my bday lol I guess this means that there won’t be a virtual console at all on Switch Like it was before .. shame , was hoping that I can play all my formerly buyed games on the Switch too but It’s Obvious that I’m dreaming of utopia ... still no Word on a browser or YouTube support as well .. oh my .. as much as i Love that Nintendo is so succesful - as much do i dislike what they are planning next - first those cardbox things (I still hope this is an early April joke) that made me rub my eyes , then Mario Kart for phones (wtf) and a Mario Movie (oh god no) - still no word on a new Smash bros (if we get one - it surely is just a „deluxe remaster“) as well (which would be a great title to start the paid online gaming service). My personal disappointment goes on and on - just glad I have Xenoblade and Mario Odyssey to keep me smiling still

Re: Capcom Sees 36.9% Operating Income Surge, Ultra Street Fighter II On Switch A "Smash Hit"

consolfreak1982

USF2 ? Even as a die hard SF nerd - it’s a no from me! It’s great tho that it has such a big success on the Switch. Most importantly- why is Capcom and/ or Nintendo holding back monster hunter XX ??? It’s about time I’d say - MH World is a huge success - seize that moment and release that game NOW when everyone is talking about MH !! I admit It would surely not get as much attention as „World“ but for Switch owners ? Bring it on already !!!! My expectations are low tho - I guess Nintendo and Capcom are too successful to care

Re: Everything You Need To Know About NBA Playgrounds' Complicated Enhanced Edition

consolfreak1982

I got the updated version and I’m a bit disappointed to be honest .. the graphics look dated and I miss a love of detail and smoother animations, also the gameplay and controls could have taken more time to be refined I think - the game never plays fluid enough and it really feels a bit too „arcade/Simple“ - but maybe that’s because I played so much NBA2k lol didn’t have a chance to test the multiplayer tho - my expactations are high tho because I can imagine that in multiplayer it is a lot of Fun!

Re: Video: Did You Know Gaming Covers the Bayonetta Games

consolfreak1982

Love the first game ever since its first release on PS3/360, the second one although is so much better than the first in every way imaginable - i was just surprised on how PlatinumGames was able to get every aspect of the first game as close to perfection as possible - and by the way: the anime movie is highly recommended - its as brilliant as the games, very detailed, beautifully animated, very close to the games storyline.
Cant wait for a brand new title in this universe, id take it on whatever stationary console, NX, PS4, whatever ^^

Re: Talking Point: Learning Lessons From the Past Can Define Nintendo's NX Launch

consolfreak1982

Im gonna buy it no matter what - I just dont want to miss out on any awesome game Nintendo throws at me I just love that company ^^
I wish for that the console is fully backwards compatible with all of my WiiU and Virtual Console games and the game saves (!!!), a much much MUCH faster system/downloads (!!!), improved overal online gaming experience (just like on PS4/One), and - of course - games games games
I want a new Metroid, a "real" Pokemon RPG (!!!), of course a brand new Mario Kart and Smash bros, and hopefully FINALLY some JRPGs - Braverly Default/Second HD or a new one, a new GOLDEN SUN, and so on and so on
yeah sure - NX needs exclusives and third parties surely - but idk and highly dounbt if they will ever again be able to catch up to Sony again

Re: Review: Yoshi's Woolly World (Wii U)

consolfreak1982

for me - this is a 10/10
the game sure is not that easy as so many people say on the internet - its not as tough as donkey kong but if you want to collect everything for the unlockables it gets tough believe me
also hardly ever had that much fun in coop when playin a jump and run
maybe the best coop plattformer up to date
graphics, music, gameplay - everything is just stellar
you cant help but fall in love with this from the start
a wiiu masterpiece and must have!

Re: Review: Runbow (Wii U eShop)

consolfreak1982

Im a bit disappointed tbh
the game sure is great - design/sound/gameplay all awesome
havent tried out multiplayer yet but im sure it rocks too
BUT
frequent (minor) slow downs/hiccups and the loading times (though short but very frequent) are HUGELY annoying - at least to me
the games pure fun, flashy and makes you smile all throughout because of its humor and design, but as long as they dont fix those issues (when???) its rather a 8/10
sorry
still love this game though ^^

Re: Review: Super Mario Maker (Wii U)

consolfreak1982

the games amazing
but - please dont bash me lol - i think its lacking some content
I really miss some enemies/stage designs and hope this will be added in future updates
I want Shy Guys!
And I want a desert and snow level!
Now!

Re: Review: Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water (Wii U)

consolfreak1982

after completing the trial version - i need this game ^^
the controls are - hmm - fiddly, unprecise/annoying, but: the atmosphere and graphics are amazing - the setting is great and very intriguing - im def adding this to my collection at some point, havent played a "FF/PZ" game before though I consider in getting part 2 Wii Version also

Re: Review: Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)

consolfreak1982

this was my most wanted for 2015 and one of the best games last year, one of the overall best wiiu games ever made - besides some minor flaws after countless hours (screen text is too small, overwhelmingly complex character management, a bit too much exhausting grinding necessary in the end) a real showcase, brilliant follow up and overall amazing rpg masterpiece that will keep me busy for even more than my already countless hours of gameplay.
Im lookin forward to the next installment on the new nintendo plattform ^^

Re: Plague of Shadows Catching on All Systems Next Week

consolfreak1982

I cant stress enough how much praise that developer deserves - not only for creating one of the most polished and fun Indie Games of all time, but a definitive instant-classic that will surely be known in years to come from now on - its in one league as SuperMarioWorld imo
and the fact that this major DLC is totally for free is simply put nearly unbelievable compared to others in the industry

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X

consolfreak1982

I also CANT WAIT for it - the battle for "game of the year" is extremely tough this year - but Im sure its the best the WiiU has to offer - not just this year Im asured, the predecessor is one of the best JRPGs Ive ever played (and I have played A LOT of JRPGs)

Re: Review: Devil's Third (Wii U)

consolfreak1982

as a huge Fan of NinjaGaiden I was really lookin forward to the release - such a shame it got so many bad reviews/scores around the net - Im gonna get this once it is a little bit cheaper- got so many other games to finish first that I seriously have no time for it right now.
All in all I dont care about the reviews, I always take them just to gather some overall info, and by now I am aware of what I can expect with that game - it surely is a solid Action Game, no doubt about it. The outcome of this was to be expected after that long development circle tbh
