@Lordplops What an absolutely idiotic comment. Work place stress is a serious thing and people shouldn't just deal with it. Enforcing a culture or working yourself in to the ground only benefits a corporation with profits and productivity. If you're willing to do that, more fool you, but it's a practice that needs stamping out.
@mariomaster96 I'm still surprised that a game that's combined second and third place is an indication that the Japanese buying public are not in to the game.....
It's more people playing games. Yeah 99% of them don't interest me, but people should just get off their high horse and just enjoy the games they enjoy. This isn't a death knell for traditional console and PC gaming.
As an environmental issue, I welcome digital. The carbon footprint of physical media must be huge. My concern is, games just disappearing without care to archive them, but then again there's thousands of home computer games gone, unless you find a physical copy (good luck with that) or someone emulates them.
@diwdiws just to echo your comment. Wah wah modders! Why don't they use their skills to do something original. Also whiney NDF, that's so cool, I need it!
Just downloaded BotW in the sale to give it a second chance, as I sold my copy ages ago.
Yeah it's a great game, not the heaven sent masterpiece that people claim. Weapon durability is still a massive issue for me. I hope Nintendo learn from their first proper attempt at an open world and BotW2 can fix some of the issues I have. Then it might be a masterpiece.
I love the man, he's a legend; but once he's gone and his presence is not so big, perhaps some of the younger staff will shine and rise to the top with new and fresh ideas.

Picked up Dead Effect 2 in the Xbox sale.

Elden Ring all the way.

Switch will be collecting dust for a while....
Re: Zelda: BotW, Super Mario 64 And Pokémon GO Shortlisted For The Golden Joystick 'Ultimate Game Of All Time' Award
I wish people would stop circle jerking about BoTW.
It's a good game, but you're pretty inexperienced in open world games if you think it's that good.
Re: Sir Trevor McDonald Will Be The GamesMaster In Revived Show
Good choice. But imagine it was Stephen Fry, and he does have a link with games as the narrator of Little Big Planet.
Re: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Gets Confirmed Release Date, First Trailer And Screenshots
That price. Yeah, you can do one. Not for me.

@mariomaster96 well it's at number 2 🙄
Re: Feature: Steven Spohn On Strides In Accessibility For Gaming, And Nintendo's Room For Improvement
@NTELLIGENTMAN 10 points for being the most ignorant and dismissive comment.
Golf clap.
Re: Apple Made More Profit From Games In 2019 Than Nintendo, Sony And Microsoft Combined
Why are people complaining?
It's more people playing games. Yeah 99% of them don't interest me, but people should just get off their high horse and just enjoy the games they enjoy.
This isn't a death knell for traditional console and PC gaming.
Sheesh 🤷

Re: Random: The Song In This Metroid Dread Japanese Commercial Is A Certified Banger
Banger it ain't.

Pound shop Mario Kart with FF characters.
Re: Bayonetta 3 Finally Gets A New Trailer, Out In 2022
And I'm here waiting for an article on KOTOR coming to Switch.
You lot are in for a treat. But don't Google the plot or you'll ruin the best reveal in gaming history.
Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis Expansion Pack Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October
Wow! At last I can play Mario 64.......
Re: Hands On: We Created A GameCube Pad In Minecraft-Style Farm Sim 'Staxel'
Wasn't interested in this game, then went and watched a few reviews.
All pretty positive, so took the plunge and pre ordered with the discount.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The Top 15 Most-Downloaded Switch Games In August 2021 (Europe)
Wouldn't mind being a quid behind Concerned Ape.
Stardew Valley just keeps selling.
Re: Super Arcade Football Launches On Switch Today, And It's Currently Half Price

Great little game for short bursts.

Neck deep in Littlewood.

By time I get around to it, hopefully it'll be patched up.
Re: Talking Point: Just How 'Finished' Is Your Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Save File?
Played enough to enjoy but nowhere near complete as it's a pretty bland world to traverse.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Sound In Video Games?
That sound in Eternal Darkness when you discover something.
The sound of a Grunt, running away, in Halo.
Re: Get Up To 75% Off Switch Games In Humble Games' Publisher Sale
Forager is a great little game.

Re: Random: Modder Adds Mario Kart 8 Tracks To Microsoft Flight Simulator

Wah wah modders! Why don't they use their skills to do something original.
Also whiney NDF, that's so cool, I need it!
Re: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild PC Mod Makes The Game Look Better Than Ever
Shame it doesn't fill up the sparse world and make weapons stronger than wet cardboard.
Re: Retro's Cancelled Zelda Game Starring Sheik Resurfaces In Nintendo Gigaleak
It's about time we had some games set in the Zelda universe that don't feature Link.
As a protagonist, he's bland and paper thin.
Re: Share Your Zelda Memories And Win This Amazing Skyward Sword HD Bundle (UK)
Never completed a Zelda game as I tend to get bored towards the end.
Do I win?
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) In All Its Glory
Pointless.
But it does look nice.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 12.1.0 Is Now Live
Are they just withholding folders as some sick joke.
Come on, Nintendo...
Re: UK Charts: Mario Golf Holds Onto First Place While Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Returns To The Top Ten
Just downloaded BotW in the sale to give it a second chance, as I sold my copy ages ago.
Yeah it's a great game, not the heaven sent masterpiece that people claim.
Weapon durability is still a massive issue for me.
I hope Nintendo learn from their first proper attempt at an open world and BotW2 can fix some of the issues I have. Then it might be a masterpiece.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st July (Europe)
Might have a punt on Mythic Ocean.
Re: Review: Mario Golf: Super Rush - A Solid Swing, But Par For The Course

Re: Video: Are People Still Playing Wii U Games Online? Let's Find Out
I loved my Wii U
But I feel like it's the room full of botched Ripley's and the Switch is full Ripley.
Re: Miyamoto "Not Concerned" About Who Will Replace Him At Nintendo
I love the man, he's a legend; but once he's gone and his presence is not so big, perhaps some of the younger staff will shine and rise to the top with new and fresh ideas.
Re: Nintendo Of America's President Doug Bowser Talks About Switch Joy-Con Issues
I have no issues, therefore there is no issue.
Is that correct response??

Re: Switch Becomes The Best-Selling Console For 24 Consecutive Months Despite PS5, Xbox Series Launches (US)
The first time I'm not interested in a new gen.
My Switch and Xbox one S have me covered until I care, which I can see being a few years yet.
