@johnedwin Thank you for the PS2 fan view. Is that the only reason it sold more, i'm sure there must be more. And, of course, there are plenty more the other way too.
I could be wrong here (let me know if I am) but I guess they hacked the game in order to find this so called glitch. For me a glitch is something you find/stumble on when playing the game.
You just can't beat a bit of current gen modding!!!
Give it a short while and the switch is going to be in the same realms as the DS and the R4 cards soon. You'll be able to pick them up on ebay and car boot sales, there'll be everywhere.
Come on people if we just hack a bit more we will be there sooner.
@Hoshiko I have written a little above which applies, but also add that my feelings with regards to many of the ideas coming from people nowadays is that marketing is diluting creeative minds massively. Therefore I think it will be interesting to see where this all goes in the future, because like it or not business is going to use it.
@link3710 I guess it all depends on how the AI is taught, how it intreprupts what it's shown and how it invents. I will imagine that the AI side of the argument will push how innovative and free thinking it is, even if it's not true. But there also seems to me there is lots of self preservation going on in lots of the angst on the subject. I personally feel that images and ideas from creative minds will always be the best way forward. But I can assure everyone that's not the way it's going to go.
I am not 100% sure what the issue here is, it appears to me that a computer has been watching you tube videos in order to imagine and invent it's own depiction of somthing.
This is exactly what real artisits are doing.....
In fact judging from the amount of fan art I see, lots of real artisits don't even try and hide that fact.
I didn't think the questions were very good, and were not broad enough to give my opitnion.
I will buy a new Nintendo console on the day of release, as I always do. However no I do not have any desire for a new console, or for any upgrade it may offer. I am fine with how things are with the current switch, I do not blame the console for the poor performing games. And as far as backlog, I don't have one and never have. Are there many many games I would fancy playing then yes there is. But do I have any intention of buying and playing many of them, No I don't.
Stick and stones may brake my bones but names will never hurt me.
There are too many cases these days that reflect disparity in society. I respect this man has done wrong and some punishment is deserved but I do beleive there are many cases where people have been threatened or harrased in their lifes and only in exceptional curcumstances does literally anyhing happen at all.
I bought one of the older designs when I went to Japan earlier in the year. I found it hard to resist pretty much all the gashpon machines in Japan, but it was impossible to ignore an official Nintendo one in the official Nintendo store.
@DreamlandGem Hi, Sorry to be off subject but I had to mention to you after a small kirby conversation we had a long while back. Well I visited the Kirby Cafe in Tokyo this year with my family and we loved it, it was one of the highlights of our whole trip. The food and everything else were just spectacular and I really hope you have had, or get the chance to go. It was really that good!!
I don't mind a quick video to give you a jist of the strory, but I dind many games have this tutorial type section which I don't like. I nearly gave up on the recent Zelda before I got out of the sky island part.
@geshem I wouldn't say it's not worth playing, but not as good as history seems to make it. The insanity effects are very interesting, especially the first time you encounter some of them. They can really confuse you for a moment, but as you progressed through the game and they repeated I felt they just became more of an annoyance. I also think that the fact that at the time of release you didn't get to find out much about the games, and this hugeley added to the surprise of some of the instanity effects in the game. Unfortunatly I think the internet has pretty much killed that nowadays, therefore taking away the one good trick it had. But please don't let my narrow minded views change your thoughts, hopefully you will get a chance to play in the future.
I remember being drawn to the unique feature, but it reviewed as being pretty average at the time, so I never bothered getting it.
I often find it funny about which older games that now seem to get lorded like they are somthing special. Another example being Eternal Darkness, it's just another average game with a neat twst .
I play FC24 with my son, I say that because if it wasn't for him I wouldn't! However my take on the game is that it's a mess, and better played for the comical value. In a game at the weekend I called it Fall Guys Football. Players stumble around, bump into each other, players sometime ignore the direction you want them to go. PS2 pro evo was the golden age for football video games. Unfortunatley I will have a look at the new one bcause I will probably have to play it!
@Kyranosaurus I would suggest I am not , and I would also suggest that if you agree to somethinng and then expect more than that. then that is privelaged as you call it. And no I am not rich or lucky enough to be able to wait for the next great oppurtunity either. And over the years I have had to do many things that I didn't want to do. But, like I said, I am not privelaged and I sucked it up and took one for the team. Life sucks at times....
Sorry but I see this as a bitter individual, he was happy to agree terms at the outset. To complain after the fact it silly, complaint to yourself for taking it on in the first place!
There are basically more people playing games now so there is a chance that the next console could sell more. But I don't think they can do that with a simple upgrade, it hasn't worked for Sony or Microsoft. They need one of those magical Nintendo ideas to work, it's very unlikely they will get another pandemic to help them out this time.
@YunoboCo You know, they even do it in the general news too. I think they base it on a few people said the same thing so it must be the general opinion. Stupid logic , shows that people care more about the actual things they can see with their own eyes rather than thinking more deeply.
@nocdaes in one of your comments you compared gta6 and Metroid 4, saying that the two short videos of both games are evidence to gta being a leap forward for that series. You must be basing that all on graphics as I didn’t see anything in either trailer to show any new directions for either of them.
@120frames-please I tend to see what your referring to as 'gamers attacking Nintendo'. But I am well aware of both sides of this, so I refer to your last paragraph which I couldn't agree with more. Different opinions, so what!, let's us enjoy it the way that we want too.
@Maubari I don't see anyway back for sony or microsoft, corporations as so self serving nowadays. They merely paint a picture of care and concern for their customers in order to keep taking their money.
I do have a little concern with Nintendo as I feel the overall build quality with regard to switch and their own brand peripherols has been shaky this generation. I have had one issue with a joycon drfiting, one procontroller just stopped working, and also my day one switch console just got clunky and didn't run games properly. Previously I bought a gamecube, Wii, WiiU, Gameboy, 3DS, GBA, all on day one and never had the need to replace any of them. I am hoping they going to address this for the next console.
@120frames-please Really! do you think sony and nintendo attack the gaming industry. I see the PC as the one attacking gaming, trying to move in and take a piece of the pie.
I refuse to be entertained by a bunch of fat cats sitting together, back slapping each other and acting like kings of the world. While already being rich but putting the whole evening on a company card.

Re: Random: Tears Of The Kingdom's Unbreakable Master Sword Reclaimed With Very Complicated Glitch
