@FrenchVaniIIuxe this is a total bs take... ai sucks in many ways if you think AI is the future than you haven't digged deeper into it. And no it's not compareable to cars and horses...
For my personal taste there are two reasons for this. A) no heavy hitter games out nor on the horizon. the upcoming line up is mainly known and it's okish but boring. B) game key cards I usually buy about 20+ physical games per year... I bought 5 on switch 2 and it's a new system...
they should not listen too much to every nonsens online. it's like people complaining about breakable weapons in Zelda without understanding the base game design loops
@JohnnyMind I think it's less a censorship problem and more a society problem. But I'm afraid right now america is more likely to change to the opposite, more censorship. It already started on all fronts, I'm very sorry for all the americans right now.
@Yoshi3 Imagine what would happen if kids see that naked skin O_O... They might be traumatized... Guns on the other hand are totally harmless and I'm pretty sure no one ever was traumatized by any event in which guns were part of.
A much as I love nintendo games and systems, they are currently a bit too much on a high horse. Gotten beaten by the ps5 which is more expensive(?) and older should send a sign...
I know I know people are going to hate me for mentioning it but they are all will be game key cards and that sucks. not going to buy any of those even though I like some of them
I think the situation could be better but also lot worse. MK world is sadly a bit disappointing and now we won't get a new one for the next 10 years. DK Bananza lacked charm and was a bit too repetitive. Age of Imprisonment, drag x drive and Pkm are more of a disappointment for me... so just air riders and metroid are left. especially Metroid saves the day for me...
Also not to forget that game key cards ruin the whole generation for me.
I'm scared of square enix remaking this game... how could it live up to the expectation? Also hd 2d style would completeley devalue a remake... If they do it AAA and stick to the original game (not like ff7) then there is a tiny chance it could be good.
I do not expect a lot of this game. it already looks worse than octopath 1 and 2 visually... the repeating textures, for example, are far more noticeable. It just looks a bit rough.
cool, maybe it runs now as good as the ps1 version . Man I wish square enix would always also pack the original game into their remasters... most of the time their remasters are worse than the original...
@AlonditeFE Actually the exact same thing happened with Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. When the game came out it got ok reviews but after the game makers toolkit video all the journalists deciced this is the best 2d platformer... rayman legenda got the far better review scores but no one would ever call this the best platformer, even worse no one cares about it anymore...
@progx sure some people don't care and simply buy a game key card but many people won't. I can at least say that I buy usually about 20-30 game per year physicaly and I won't buy any GKC, so its very likely I just buy less games... I actually have just 3 Switch 2 games yet and for me thats not a lot since launch of a new system
zelda looks awesome but link looks a bit to feminin for my taste. It's incredibly hard for me, to imagine a Zelda movie that is good and has real actors. I'd prefered an animated wind waker style movie.
@Lizuka But that NPC was not even a full hour there. I would expect the game to be 20h long on the first playthrough. We don't know anything about the game and some people think the games dead already thats so incredibly stupid
@ShadLink I often complain about things but the reviewers played about an hour and in that hour that npc was just there for a certain part, I'm pretty sure the game is going to be fantastic... Even Metal Gear has this sort of stupid humor...
it's a problem not only for games, it's even worse in film. But I agree it's a problem. There won't be a new star wars, harry potter, final fantasy etc if there is no chance given to new ideas and concepts.

Re: "I'll Get In Trouble" - Yuji Horii "Can't Talk About" Future Chrono Trigger Developments
@UltimateOtaku91 just play the original one, it aged very well and a remake would likely not make it any better.

Re: Review: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (Switch 2) - Samus Returns In Prime Form
@Pat_trick most critics gave it an 8 or higher.
you can even see this on the metacritic side
only 16% gave it lower than an 8.
and tropical freeze also just got a metascore of 83 and its the best side scrolling platformer of all time...
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Just keep in mind that tropical freezes metascore was also just 83 and it is now considered the best side scrolling platformer ever made.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Port Technical Rundown Detailed By Ubisoft
sounds good and after playing the demo of SW outlaws, I'm very confident the game will run and look fantastic on switch 2.
and since this game is bigger than 64gb anyways, I'm also not having a problem with a game key card release, but not at launch.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Switch 2 Physical Release Includes A Lenticular Edition
@progx sure some people don't care and simply buy a game key card but many people won't.

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@ShadLink I'm worried about that too.

Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@Bolt_Strike comon the previewers played like 60 minutes of the game, we still don't know anything about it. give it a chance.
Re: Preview: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Is Great, But I Want To Kill One Of Its Characters
@Suketoudara I think your take on millenials is just extremely subjective and in my eyes wrong.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Compatibility Update Released
For a moment I thought this means a switch 2 edition but nah... From all Nintendo games this would be the best fit to give it a 60fps 4k boost.

Re: "These Shouldn't Be The Only Games Being Made" - Keiji Inafune Critical Of Reliance On Big IPs
it's a problem not only for games, it's even worse in film.
But I agree it's a problem.
There won't be a new star wars, harry potter, final fantasy etc if there is no chance given to new ideas and concepts.
Look at the variety and quality of SquareEnix games, for example, on Ps1 and compare it to today...
On Ps1/n64 in general the variety of games in the AAA market was insane. Now you only get the same IPs...
Long story short, give more unknown games a chance. There are dozens that are worth it.
