Re: Surprise! Sports Story Finally Swings Onto Switch Today

icebear80

@bozz Have played a few hours so far and there are indeed quite a few bugs, but I have yet to discover any game breaking ones. Though there is noticable lag sometimes and it can be annoying when it happens and you are using your shoot meter. Made me miss the target a few times in golf. Outside the story mode you can play courses, I tried that and got an error at hole 7 of 9 and it kicked me out. So far for me, it is a quite fun and a worthy follow up on golf story, but it will need some patches before I can fully recommend it.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 27th)

Playing through Xenoblade Chronicles again. Played it on the 3DS before and playing it on the tv and even handheld on the Switch feels like a massive upgrade in graphics. Love all the other improvements they have made and the game is even more awsome now. Looking forward to start Future Connected when I'm done with the main story during the summer!

Re: All Three BioShock Games Are Coming To Switch

icebear80

Just got the bioshock collection free on ps plus last month, otherwise I would have bought them. But Borderlands and Xcom is tempting... although they have to wait a 100 hours of playtime for me to play through Xenoblade Chronicles again!

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct Mini?

icebear80

29th of May gonna be an expensive day! And the Ring fit update is a nice addition. Hope they extend that game even more and get more of it shipped out. Hope Burnout Paradise is a good port and I'll be interested. All in all, a totallt fine Direct. Just one big Nintendo reveal would have made it a great one imo. Surely there will be one big Direct before the summer...

Re: Feature: The Most Jaw-Dropping Nintendo Switch Ports Of 2019

icebear80

So many awsome ports these days, something for everyone is so good to see and that its not only Panic Button, but Feral, Saber and many others that manage to make great ports! The top 3 games are all worthy of the podium and games I recommend trying out in handheld form, especially if you haven't played them before. I'm almost done with The Witcher III, so now Rockstar, when is that GTA V port coming??

Re: Free GRID Autosport Updates Will Add Split-Screen And Online Multiplayer On Switch

icebear80

Been fine playing this solo, but looking forward to the online multiplayer. Hope it will be close to the other versions as it has a lot of cool features (garage with upgrades and customization), weekly challenges and lobby options. Lobbies should maybe be a bit simplified depending on the size of the userbase. But we here on NL should be able to have some good races. Will make a forum thread for it when it releases!

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - September 2019

icebear80

Defenitely Grid Autosport as no.1 for me. Although the game is a few years old, the port is outstanding and really tailord for the Switch. All the control methods implemented, even the Gamecube controller with analog triggers, shows how much love and care Feral interactive put into this port. On second place the goose game and third is most likely Ori, though I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Re: Review: FIFA 20 - A Shamelessly Cynical Attempt To Swindle Switch-Owning Footy Fans

icebear80

I like to play football games and I bought both FIFA18 and FIFA19 on the Switch and felt the core gameplay was alright. Put in a few hundred hours in them and had some fun, even with the poorly featured UT (without spending money), but I'm not getting FIFA20! Had they just put in a tiny, tiny effort and added Volta, I would have bought it, but this legacy bulls*** stinks! A FIFA Street game for the Switch would be perfect, but I know I'm just dreaming

Re: Review: GRID Autosport - Finally, Switch Gets The Serious Racing Game It Deserves

icebear80

Played a couple of hours in the morning before work just now and it's awsome. Get the settings to your likings and even with digital triggers it plays fine. Can't say I miss multiplayer at the start of this game. Online leaderboards would have been welcome to get to know how you compare, but I think it's a good thing to let people practice in single player first and then we'll hopefully see each other on the track soon enough

Re: GRID Autosport Speeds Onto Switch On September 19th

icebear80

A few more gameplay videos from youtubers who got review copies are out now. This really looks like one of the best optimized ports we have seen on the Switch in any genre. The choice of performance, graphics or battery saving mode, highly customizable controls, HD rumble strenght options ++ Can't wait to play it. Really 'well done' to Feral interactive!

Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?

icebear80

I'm now on my third pair of joy-con and had drifting issues on the two previous left ones. Both have been lasting around a year before they got the issue, which is scaringly short for something that should be a quality product :/ The left grey launch joy-con started acting all weird quite suddenly, but the left red joy-con on my second pair has been developing a drift up on its own over a longer period. Will be interesting to see what issue my new yellow ones will get...

Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Has Already Received Its First Update

icebear80

Just booted it up this morning and going through the story mode. Think I'll finish that and get all the new inspiration I can before starting to create. Spent a good few hundred hours creating on WiiU, so I wonder if I'll actually bother creating much this time :/ Right now I only feel like playing, but maybe the inspiration will come... I got that nice stylus in the mail today, so got to try it out at least
