@GogGogGogGog The problem is that the Stamp was like the Kraken initially until we all found the weak points. The Kraken just seems invincible (edit a la Dragnoran).
I am not worried about missing out on this game. I am sure Nintendo will HD it for the next Gen Switch like Miitopia at full price when they run out of games to remaster š
@Anti-Matter ARMS has some awesome design and would make for a great theme park. Just not sure if the IP is dead for now from Nintendoās viewpoint. Not sure if there will be an ARMS 2.
The artbooks are amazing. But since Splatoon 2, it looks like their artbooks will be missing any expansion content. Wish they would either release them separately or an updated version.
@KalamStrifeVII If TOTK is really 90 CAD, I hope this is a one-off cause itās BOTWās sequel. But if Nintendo apply the increased price tag to every upcoming major new game, I am certain software sales will go down across the board.
I was considering but didnāt get any Mario sports game, and I am glad given how lacking they are. If they were launched with the increased price, they would be DOA for me. I just donāt like Mario that much. šš
@SlowPokemon Congrats! Yes you have. But for majority of players, it was about rushing to gain millions of bells through the online turnip market, completing their catalogue with Nookazon and time travel just so they can design their dream islands.
If it isnāt for that, not as many would have gotten bored even with the 2.0 update and moan about the lack of furnitures and stuff to do. Everyone rushed to the end and forgot ACNH is much about the journey.
With the rise of Treasure Islands, the content creation community tried modding as a way to keep making content to only get the Big N after some of them. With the āhardā more, they have found a new way to create a continuous stream of new content⦠when they could have just played the game as it was designed from the get go.
But then how would one create all those design videos to showcase all the themes everyone was making? š
Nuke those damn paint brushes. Connection speed can be awful sometime. There is no way to out ink attack the opposing team if theyāre keep swiping you with their paint brushes knowing you can response fast enough.
Whatās with the venom some have for Kit and Krysta?
Or YouTubers you may not follow in general? Seems like some are still stuck in the Gamergate era or something.
Just as there are as many YouTube channels, there are as many different Nintendo focused YouTubers catering to different segments of the gaming community. Just because some didnāt resonate with you does not mean they didnāt with others. There are definitely some YouTubers I never got the appeal of with huge followings, and there are those I have been a loyal fan since I first came across of them even if they have only thousands of followers.
We are all speculating here why Nintendo decided to shelf some of the Nintendo Minute videos. Who knows? It could purely be about how the company didnāt like something an interviewee said, or a game they want to erase from public consciousness.
Trashing anyone just cause only shows who you really are.
And please update any localization errorsā¦there are some wrong colors names in the clothings shops making it hard to shop considering previews arenāt load a lot of times.
@alexybubble I wouldnāt say Best Family represents the best Nintendo/Nintendo related game, as XC3, and Bayonetta arenāt on the list for being too mature š
Here is hoping XC3 win the Best RPG award of the year at least, especially when Live A Live is a remake, Triangle Strategy is a little too niche, LOA as being half baked, and Elden Ring for being too ābigā for the category.
But then they may have slotted Elden Ring for Best RPG as a consolation award for not winning Best GOTY, which will go to God of War or Horizons.
@fenlix It is likely money, and more importantly power, control and influence. Having made Disco Elysium, the creators now earned their badge as bonifide top tier game developers in their own right with, or without the company. This sort of thing often lead to conflicts with employers, pay and ownership of the game and intellectual property etc.
Hope this will sort out without too much bad blood being spilled all around. The courts will deal with it.
*****
As an aside, I would like to be informed of these issues. As a gamer, I would like to know my monetary support to a game isnāt being abused and going to assist deserving game creators and developers.
What really baffles me is how people are so easily to dismiss a VA because they arenāt their āA-Tierā as to believe a journalist based solely on reputation.
Until we get the actual facts, and not just hearsay āreceiptsā from both parities, we donāt know what really went on. And as I said above, neither sides will hold up in court.
@Tangerine Actually, we still donāt know the facts. What Jennifer Hale stated (and now supported by Platinum) speaks nothing of the actual situation.
This isnāt cancel culture. And to assume that one side is ārightā at this time is just as biased. Neither side has provided evidence to support their claims. They will both loose in court.
The most recent NMS update just came out yesterday. It has resolved some of the graphic issues I had since launch. I am sure DF was analyzing an earlier build given the timing.
The developers have been very responsive to Switch issues I have reported. I hope they continue to work out the kinks. Perhaps DF can do another analysis further down.
@WallyWest I have been to many stations, just couldnāt talk to those people for some strange reasons in the stands. Haha
@5th313ment haha I guess I have been trying to find a paradise planet for my first base that I havenāt really followed the story yet š but I guess I will do that now.
@Draxa The textures donāt bother me really. It just shocks me once in a while when I get to see the full textures pop up. Handheld has been a great experience. I do feel like I am playing Star Trek jumping from one system to another. I have quite a collection of exotic companions now. I wish there will be cross-saves at some point. These are the few times I really can see how a Switch 2/pro can further enhance a really good game.
Am I the only one finding that texture details rarely render at 100%?
Itās a great game so far. Actually, I would put this right up there with Animal Crossing for those who like ācozy gamesā if you played in creative mode or āvery chilledā settings.
@WallyWest Thanks for the reminder. Thatās true of the exosuit. I donāt suppose my squadron and ships are immune too? Though I may not die, I wouldnāt want to be too slow and weak during fights.
I havenāt seen those stands with the maps you mentioned by the Portals. Are there conditions I have to meet? Thanks!
So could someone tell me what just happened? I purchased the launch version and updated to 4.02 yesterday, and now hell broke loose.
Most of my exosuit upgrades are removed to only 14 of them. Are we supposed to update our exosuit every time there is a change in weather or environmental change?
Thatās not exactly what I want to be doing when I play creativeā¦
When Animal Crossing added crops, I was worried it would become a farming sim and nothing more. How was I wrong after seeing all these other farming games. Have fun farming! (Just not more in AC).
@ModdedInkling They HAVE to be āall hands on deckā here as you said they seem to be. Splatoon is one of their most successful new IPs in the last decade. Just look at its sales and popularity. They canāt afford to upset the community.
Nintendo have no other choice but to be forthright. Silence will only hurt the game and brand. There are already a wealth of pressing issues for them to update. I hope they get the disconnecting situation sorted out quickly.
@ModdedInkling I am not sure if itās new. Splatoon has always been a āwork in progressā sort of game. They already promised 2 years of āupdatesā and DLCs, same as Splatoon 2. Thatās the nature of a multiplayer shooter, balancing weapons etc like Smash. It would be nice if they were as honest about all their Switch sports titles though.
@Lizuka Speaking of Isurd, he does the same animated hand gesture all the time as well. It drove me crazy. Either the devs forgot about him or he is really supposed to be more mellow or monotone. He never really get out right emotional even in his dialogue. He is a fairly quiet spoken and reserved character.
As for Alexandria⦠well she HAS to keep her composure all the time based on the story.
@Lizuka Strange. I have found my healers are very good at concentrating their efforts at attackers and at least one always follow me fairly quickly when I goes off to do side and back attacks.
But then I have more healers than defenders usually on my team. Just happened that way with the classes I like.
Donāt know if Sakurai was throwing shade. But I DO know, he was probably thinking how ***** Pokemon asset artists and art direction was when Sword and Shield came out.
What he is talking about here is very fundamental in graphics.
Always great to have different explanations of the new game mechanics, even as a Xenoblade veteran. Quick note: picture #3 contains a spoiler⦠may wanna change that š
Edit: just read your response on top about the brief spoiler warning etc.
@russell-marlow Not to jump into your conversationsā¦but gore isnāt edgy at all. Or rather, gore doesnāt make it automatically edgy. Itās quite pedestrian in film for example. Another example is a game with a walking duck frustrating people is more āedgyā than a lot of games with gore.
At this point, they are making it very easy for me to just ignore them and their games completely from now on. And Iāve got much of their games on 3DS and Switch.
