@Grumblevolcano fair point. I doubt there's a big gap between those that want to play online versus those that are open to paying for the service. I could be proven wrong by years end though
Disagree. I fell in love the moment tri came to the west.
World has everything done better - and it's more challenging too, with the tempered beasts roaming. It only kicks off the real challenge after level 50 or so, which is way late for a monster hunter.
There's nothing about the old style monster hunter I really miss, other than the non-social construction that disbands your party instead of sticking together in the hub.
Really, world is a class game. Gen ultimate is awesome, world is just better...
It's late, quite ugly, full of awesome monsters and a dated gameplay mechanic. I'm torn on it - I want to like it, but world was so, so good... I think I'll play other games and buy a new one on switch that uses the world foundations, if it releases at some point.
Cloud saves are a must - I want my games to be ready to go always. Also, I'm amazed they don't go the fortnite route on voice chat - it works great, without any hassle.
He's right. The market is being saturated, meaning that there's an opportunity for disruption.
I value quality game experiences yet can't find them without paying upfront for them. There's more content now than hours in a day - the opposite of the brilliant n64 for instance.
As I said before, increasingly, games aren't just questioned if they're worth my money - there's a lot of good quality stuff out there - it's more a question of whether they're worth my time. This is relative to all the options out there. Multiple different, great experiences, and I have to choose as a consumer before knowing.
Music was flooded, and therefore disrupted. Any market works like that. I won't make assumptions on how it's executed, like online and yada yada. The disruption will happen, the way in which? Right now it seems to be a subscription model. Stream could be something, if it's feasible. A hybrid one, to offset volume and responsiveness calculations perhaps.
Who knows. But it will be disrupted. Nintendo is right to do it themselves and could pioneer it. We'll see if they do and in what form, though.
Thinking of picking this one up. It's a totally different experience to the rpg that octopath is which in playing now. Between those and fortnite there's your summer of gaming.
Nine parchments inbound. Was eyeing that one for a later date, but won't shed a tear if it ends up a coin cheaper later. Octopath is where most of it is now though.
It's a lot of fun to play. So more power to them I guess.
Also, it has attracted a great scene of tournament and stream players. This one will last a long time, and evolve beyond what we currently know it to be.
It needs to be killer good at discoverability. Right now that discoverability is non existent. The eshop needs a big overhaul for the healthy future of switch.
Fortnite for me. Must admit, thinking about paladins, ys and octopath. The latter two are just daunting me from a time investment perspective right now.
I've still got horizon zero dawn to start up sometime soon, as it's one of those I missed out on.
Another one that looks great:) i need to find a way to keep myself posted on all the gaming stuff that interests me. I've lost count on what to keep an eye on!
Smart timing. Microsoft has backpedaled a bit and has too few unique characteristics. If they pull this off, the gaming landscape will definitely change.
@impurekind actually, you may be right. I did love that hub too.
And good point about the vehicle types. They made each type take a different route and still make it a fair game. That was one of those fun aspects I really loved.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Says There’s A Possibility The Next Zelda Title Will Be On Switch
I hope it'll hit soon. Use the foundations of breath of the wild, and make a new experience out of that, like they did with majora's mask.

I wish the people of japan the best.
We are please understanding!

Creates sequel: "manager summoned overtime!"

Re: Victor Vran: Overkill Edition Is The Perfect Diablo III Appetiser On Switch
Didn't know it was out yet! I think I'll buy it this week, gonna check out some of the gameplay but it looks like soooo much fun.

Re: Switch Has Been The Best-Selling Console In Japan For Six Months, Almost 5 Million Units Sold
Good. I always like sales numbers that are great. It assures me there are people online to play with, and many great games released on the systems
Re: Soapbox: Why I Prefer Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate To World

Re: Video: 13 Nintendo Switch Games You Should Look Out For In September
Original xenoblade 2 was awesome. I'm thinking about getting the dlc, and after that it's Diablo and maybe some smash, don't know yet.
The PlayStation will get some love too as the backlog still has some great games I haven't gotten around to playing yet.
Re: Nintendo's Japan Twitter Account Clarifies When Switch Online Service Will Begin
I'm buying this anyways. Cloud saves for me, online diablo also for me.
Re: Review: The Messenger (Switch eShop)
I really wish some of this quality game stuff would be non-pixel graphics, actual high quality visuals.
It's cute and all, but the retro pixel art rarely works for me.
Re: Players Have Had Enough Of Fortnite's "Unplayable" State On Switch, Send Plea To Epic Games
It's off putting. I don't like how the low poly buildings ruin the game. It's a lot of fun, but needs to be dealt with soon.

Re: The Switch's Home Menu Uses Less Than 200 KB Of Resources For Super-Fast Load Times
It's absolutely awesome. One of the great things about switch is how instant on, direct play it is.
They've hit a homerun with this.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 18th)
Octopath and fortnite. I'm skipping monster hunter on switch because world was sooo good.
I'll be playing other stuff now.

Re: Get Up To 60% Off Lots Of Fantastic Games In The Euro Nintendo Switch Summer Sale
Nine parchments inbound. Was eyeing that one for a later date, but won't shed a tear if it ends up a coin cheaper later. Octopath is where most of it is now though.
Gonna be fun
Re: Epic Games Could Soon Be Worth A Staggering $8 Billion Thanks To Fortnite's Success
It's a lot of fun to play. So more power to them I guess.
Also, it has attracted a great scene of tournament and stream players. This one will last a long time, and evolve beyond what we currently know it to be.
Re: Guide: New Nintendo Switch Games Releasing In 2018
Not on the list but on my radar, viktor vran. August 28th I think.
Re: Octopath Traveler Shifted 90 Percent Of Its Initial Stock In Japan
Trying the demo. It oozes quality, yet has a sense of... sluggish battling it seems. And being interrupted by two eggs every spot second sucks.
Does this change later on?
Re: Dutch Developer Ronimo Releasing Swords & Soldiers II Shawarmageddon On Switch
I might buy this one again because of the online. That was missing in the Wii u version which I otherwise loved.

Nothing more fun than shooting the one trying to get this challenge done.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Says That Super Smash Bros. Ultimate "Could Ruin" Future Games
This game is a better fighter because of all the ways it isn't a fighting game.
There's many more ways for it not to be a traditional fighting game.
Re: Nindies Respond To Nintendo Releasing High Volume Of Games On Switch eShop
It needs to be killer good at discoverability. Right now that discoverability is non existent. The eshop needs a big overhaul for the healthy future of switch.

Fortnite for me. Must admit, thinking about paladins, ys and octopath. The latter two are just daunting me from a time investment perspective right now.

So many great games!

Re: Rumour: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Will Soon Allow Players To Fully Customise Difficulty Parameters
This sounds like developer calibration to me. It's a strange thing to offer to players.
"Hey look, you can adjust parameters!" "This probably means that a new update allows manmade rockets to land on the moon!" "Yeah, that must be it!"
Talk about silly conclusions based off technical references.
Re: New Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa Receives 96.51% Approval Rating From Shareholders
@NEStalgia ha! We just elude ourselves to know. That way, we can talk about it while not thinking of ourselves as ridiculous lol
Re: New Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa Receives 96.51% Approval Rating From Shareholders
Those are spectacular approval ratings. I wonder how much the honorable culture of Japan influences this.
These are very good numbers.
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Successor To The 3DS According To Its New President
@electrolite77 you're probably right:)
Re: Nintendo Is Considering A Successor To The 3DS According To Its New President
The one thing I miss on the switch is that gorgeous 3d.
I'd be happy to try a newer generation of it.

Re: Rumour: Was Monster Games Working On A Sequel To Diddy Kong Racing?
@impurekind actually, you may be right. I did love that hub too.

Re: Fortnite Tells Players To "Look To The Sky" This Saturday For A One-Off 'Blast Off' Event

Re: Barack Fu Is A Free Bonus Game For Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn Physical Owners
This sounds awesome!
Lol at the political stomping
Re: Rumour: Was Monster Games Working On A Sequel To Diddy Kong Racing?
It was an awesome game that I very much enjoyed. That octopus inn the picture was really tough to beat!
I've got to admit, mk8 is where it's at. If diddy kong racing ever got a sequel, it would need a differentiator.
