@Senpai_Bruh yeah it makes sense and I think it's clever for the reasons I listed. Beats me, I guess.

Btw, quickest reply inbox lit up ever lol

@River3636 that's a good question, male suicide rates in particular seem really high. It's a more intimate issue than violent crime stats though, so it would take more digging to make a sensible statement about it.

@NIN10DOXD it's not a partisan thing. It's just that gun and violence statistics get messed up.

Oh yes been to the states multiple times, worked in American companies too. Lots of direct American co-workers... Lots of American stuff in my life. Got family in the states.

Btw, just a question: why'd you think my remark was partisan in intent? Because it's supposed to show the contrast: the correlation between violence in games and real life is almost non existent, as is the one based on policy flavors influencing violence or even gun culture and violent crime.

I think this is one of the many clever things trump did. Many people seem to just hate on the guy though.

Hmm, a quick search shows that if you eliminate the bigger cities ( top 3 or even 4) out of the gun crime numbers in the usa, you'll get a very low gun crime usa all of a sudden. Also, those cities tend to be left wing run. Sorry.

Seems an urban problem more than a gun problem, from my outsiders seat at least.

Also, everything influences you. Games are insanely insignificant, as we all know, yet if you're 99.9 percent of the way to insanity any trigger will do.

The clever thing about this session trump did: it makes video game companies a social pillar in society, instead of fringe hobby facilitators, it takes the focus to rating systems and retail facility, it generates a social valid platform for consumers instead of gaming being a hobby for outcast type people.

Clever play, this.

6.

I loved the first two, and this looks like more of the good stuff.

For all that worry about how it looks different, you've been sudatrolled. At the end it says you've got a new adventure mode. It's like a focus shift because Travis cares only about the video games.

This man is a legend.

Disagree. Switch needs no fragmentation without revision, however small. Plus, the arrow buttons really are just fine.

All digital all the time ever since the Wii u. Highly recommended.

Works for me.

Although, I've got coins from hundreds of euros spent in the eshop. I'd consider it fair game if the old ones were multiplied so it amounts to anything.

Anyway, this is what it's supposed to be. It should have been like this from the get go.

Great game, really enjoying it. I expect a later, different monster Hunter to show its face on switch though.

...too much crud, not enough star players. Nothing in there to make me consider splitting time between it and monster hunter.

I think we're in a low profile towards e3 the coming months.

This is corporate speak for definitely.

Which makes sense, by the way. Just not too early, and not without significant backwards compatibility for a while. Switch 2 will probably be 2 years into its lifespan, with improvedness, yet full compatibility everywhere.

3 may have some exclusiveness, otherwise 4. It's the path Iwata talked about when we didn't know what switch was yet.

@Ricube not Nintendo, they have a very different vision when it comes to product development and brand.

Others, however... I like Nintendo.

With the online component this looks really nice:)

Free on psn, so, nope. Doesn't seem too good either anyway.

Monster Hunter world is where it's at for a long while.

Switch will get lots of love with mario, fe, flame in the flood and maybe Celeste waiting for me. We'll see when, as monster Hunter is going to last me a long time across different games.

The moment pikmin hits switch I'm going to be all in, I imagine.

I got world on my shiny new ps4 and it's absolutely awesome.

It also probably wouldn't port well to switch. This thing must've taken a while to make! I wouldn't expect them to make another one like this within 1,5 years, it's simply an awful lot of work

Highly recommended, this game. Whatever new monster Hunter shows up on switch later, I'll be playing it to - for the next year, this one is where it's at.

Will probably buy it pvv a sale in the future. I wanted I am setsuna at some point but had to make a choice about which games to play at that moment.

Goes to show that if the crowd grows, so does the bar for excellence, I guess.

Think I'm gonna love this one:)

If I was Nintendo, I'd block xx in English at this point.

Why? Because next to world, it'll seem like switch is just an "inferior portable product".

It'll be world, a new one, or bust at this point.

Buy patterns - metal mold - durability+ perk acquired.

This would be tough on the Wii u because you'll need am install base, but the switch will take care of that.

I like cross platform online, but calling this a deal breaker is silly.

It's going to function like a board in a board game.

Anyway, that's my guess.

This... I like this.

It's definitely on my radar, it looks like it had a lot of love and attention. I'm going to follow it closely.

Plex would work for me. I'm not really into apps being available though. I'd prefer it to be cleanly about gaming.

Wait... Bayonetta is 30 euro?

If it's even remotely as good as it looks I'm buying it. This looks like a lot of love went into it.

I wouldn't patch it on switch to be honest. I'd make sure compiled games are checked to be properly sandboxed.

No big deal for them, really.

Look, someone somewhere judges you by arbitrary standards! Quickly comply!

Or, you know, use your head the same as almost all gamers.

What's with this regulator mind towards entertainment and expression?

@ThomasBW84 nice that makes me happy. All the best in your new job, hope to keep seeing you around

Hey Thomas thanks for making this place fun. Will you stick around in the community?

Merry Christmas all!

Stick around in the community Thomas. And of course, it's going to be a fun year:)

Thanks all that put up with my trolling and teasing too. All of you guys are awesome!

This game is better than smash 4.

I do like arms still being picked up. Very good game, that one

Didn't majora's mask release quite soon after ocarina of time? I'd expect something similar to happen. That engine is way too expensive not to.

Maybe a bit more time than a year will give it a density upgrade. Should be... wait for it... wild!

Anthill is a really good game on ipad. Actually one of those rare few that made me believe that, if the app store had better crud filtering mechanisms, the ios platform could have reshaped console gaming forever.

They never got around to making sure the quality games bubbled up though, so here we are gaming with the best once more:)

Upon the unveiling, I predicted as much.

Most of you laughed. Oh well, happy gaming

New monster Hunter.

And they should be fined for every rerelease of street fighter. Like, 40 million dollars or something.

Good. Score a bad release badly.

I'm getting fed up with later patch fixes. Patches should be for minor stuff, not anything major.

Lol at all the people being brand loyal too smash.

Honestly, this looks like a great clone concept that is well executed. This should be high up on anyone's list that was ever a smash fan.

Or does gameplay suddenly not matter at all? Is it all about bashing up picachu with mario instead?

Smash is overrated. I loved brawl, really did, but come on. It needs reinventing badly as the Wii u one had no soul at all and all of its fun stuff taken out, from the spike moves to the speed smashes.

Dethrone that thing and buy this if the game is really what you cared about.

"Like the inside of Ozzy Osborne's head, Slain is simultaneously gorgeous, intense, chaotic and deeply, deeply frustrating."

You win the internets for today.

I'm definitely buying nine parchments soon. Beautiful game with a lot of fun:)

This looks like fun. Does it have cross platform online?

Finished mario for a big part, so xenoblade it is.

See you in a couple of months!

so... how many hours did you play in order to beat the campaign? Is it in the same ballpark in terms of time played with X? Much more or much less?

This game is awesome.

I'm buying it, just not sure if I'll be doing so immediately.

Lol this one made me laugh:)

@ThomasBW84 it is, just without a digital soundtrack purchase it seems.

I'm gonna pre-order it in the eshop one of these days.

Is there a way to digital preorder this game and buy the soundtrack somewhere?
