Re: Video: Watch The Moment PlatinumGames Saw The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter Reach 100 Million Yen

@nessisonett I didn’t say it’s a conspiracy. I said it reeks of the awful business practices Platinum has always been a part of. They’ve long been rumored to take funds meant for one project and use it to help fund other games. They literally just got an investment and they’re asking you to pay for a game that’s FINISHED. If it wasn’t finished, it wouldn’t be coming in April. Wonderful 101 has been being worked on for some time now. They finished the game and they want outside funding and they knew that there was such a demand for this game to come to switch they could EASILY get people to give them money.

Re: Erotic Horror Lust For Darkness Might Be The Most Risqué Game On Switch, And It's Out Today

@SleeplessKnight I agree it’s not a bad for sure. I just meant like feeling it doesn’t belong there. That’s the exact reason why Nintendo found themselves in a position where only diehard fans were buying their stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love my switch, but Nintendo really does need to embrace everything they can because between the console being underpowered despite being 4 years late to the party that’s just going to get worse unless strong indie titles can bolster the consoles portfolio. Playstation seemed to stop caring about indies and that’s where Nintendo can benefit

@Silly_G since you want to get deep, id say that the reason suicide is so prevalent in society is in large part due to poor people skills and younger generations inability to handle things that don’t go there way. Instead of picking themselves up and trying again, young people are emotionally crippled when things don’t go there way. A large part of that again is due to social skills. Kids get depressed and feed that cycle by staying in their homes, not going out just hanging out in their rooms feeling sorry for themselves

Re: Former Epic Games Director Says He Tried To Axe Fortnite

@graysoncharles well first, that’s literally what it is. BR started off as a mod of a game. Even PUBG in its design feels very much like a clone of the Day Z mod everyone was playing. Fortnite took their failing game and made it into a battle Royale, then just started throwing dances and skins in it. They are filling the game to make it a playground of dances, cosmetic items and mediocre gunplay. That’s the problem with fortnite. The building is a great element that makes it stand out from others, but most of all the entire element of 3rd person shooting just feels lackluster. It feels exactly what it is. Something that was molded into something else. I’m not opposed to battle royale. My personal opinion is that as far as gameplay goes, Apex Legends is the king of BR. This is the first BR that plays like it was built from the ground up by a AAA studio, and not just a rip-off of something else or a last minute change. My main problem with apex legends is the fact that like fortnite, it’s one mode. It’s just like if all of a sudden, next years COD was free, but the only thing you could play was TDM

Re: Former Epic Games Director Says He Tried To Axe Fortnite

jly1987

@graysoncharles nope, it’s just a mode. The sooner that people realize that and expect more out of their games, the sooner you will get fully fleshed games and not one multiplayer mode marketed as a game. COD made a battle Royale mode, so did battlefield. That’s what I want to see out of battle Royale. Same as shooters have a suite of modes including TDM, capture the flag, control point matches. Expect more from a game, not less

@HobbitGamer didn’t say they had a phone. I said they are lost in space doing fortnite dances and pretending to play fortnite instead of paying attention to the game or their coaches. It was a response to the gentleman who tried to say that Pokemon gen1 and Minecraft were bigger fads than fortnite. With the annecdotal evidence I’ve seen raising a child, talking with other parents and being an involved parent, and when taking my own childhood into accoun, I don’t believe that to be true at all. Kids talked about Pokémon back then. They traded when they could they played the cards when they could, but Pokemon didn’t consume every aspect of kids lives back then

Re: Former Epic Games Director Says He Tried To Axe Fortnite

jly1987

@NIN10DOXD no, they weren’t. I was a kid when gen 1 came out. Kids played Pokémon in free time and I’m the school yard. They weren’t standing aloof as baseballs flew by their head because they were dancing over by 3rd base. They were messing up simple wrestling moves because they were trade Pokémon instead of listening to the coach. I was there from the ground up when that happened. Having a child myself, I’m witnessing all these things that most definitely weren’t happening back when Pokémon came out in the states

Re: Former Epic Games Director Says He Tried To Axe Fortnite

jly1987

@graysoncharles the problem lies in thinking of it as a genre. It should be a mode that’s included in full fledged titles. Just like a death match or capture the flag. The problem is this free to play crap where they just keep pumping out junk to buy for their mediocre game.

Re: Former Epic Games Director Says He Tried To Axe Fortnite

jly1987

@thesilverbrick when I see 8 year old kids who can’t even pay attention to their coaches at sporting games and practices, then yeah it’s ok for me to wish it didn’t exist. I’ve never seen such a fad like this just consume the lives of kids the way this has. Ive played tons of games growing up, so I’m not the person to go and say games are bad for kids, but I will say I’ve been a gamer since the NES and never has there been a time where a game, or games in general have taken up so much of the mind share of kids as this game has

Re: The Entirety Of Witcher III Will Be Squeezed Onto A Single Switch Cartridge

jly1987

@Bizzyb that’s my exact point. People are so starved for AAA experiences that other consoles are getting that they will take a garbage port of a game and be glad “because it’s portable”. Nintendo didn’t sell you a tablet. They sold you a console you can take with you. Until people stop getting excited for garbage you’re going to get garbage. How about make a witcher title FOR switch, instead of a bad port of a good game

Re: The Entirety Of Witcher III Will Be Squeezed Onto A Single Switch Cartridge

jly1987

@Fazermint because if switch fans were context with garbage we might receive better. They’re putting out a game with PSvita resolution, that is likely going to run like garbage and people are praising them because they are putting it on the cartridge. If this was EA doing this people would be talking crap, but since it’s not people are praising what’s going to be a horrible port just because it’s witcher on the go

Re: The Entirety Of Witcher III Will Be Squeezed Onto A Single Switch Cartridge

jly1987

@Realnoize I’ll have to respectfully disagree with you. Combat is a big part of the Witcher 3. The game needs to run smoothly. If it’s smoothly at 30 FPS that’s fine with me but it needs to be smooth. And again, I don’t think resolution is just topping. 4K is topping. In 2019 720p isn’t acceptable. Certainly, my switch shouldn’t be running a game at the ps vita resolution. I love my switch but it’s doomed the same way a lot of Nintendo consoles are. As soon as ps5 and Scarlett are out all we will get are indie titles and Nintendo first party stuff

Re: The Entirety Of Witcher III Will Be Squeezed Onto A Single Switch Cartridge

jly1987

You guys are all commending then before it’s even out. They’re taking a game that sold like gangbusters and eating the cost first off, because they’ve made money by the boat load. Second off, you’ve got a game with like ps2 level resolution. It’s 2019. Idc if it’s handheld, the resolution is comparable to PlayStation vita
