Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

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...

Re: Talking Point: Six Months Since Launch, How Would You Rate Switch 2?

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.

@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...

Re: "These Shouldn't Be The Only Games Being Made" - Keiji Inafune Critical Of Reliance On Big IPs

jojobar

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.
