The original edges it for me, I have fond memories playing it, more so than OOT, even, but I enjoyed the Remake also. I wasn’t immediately a fan of the graphical style they chose, but it really grows on you.
Good, New Horizons is actually a great game. Couldn't care less about the dex cut fiasco, but Sword and Shield are just straight up bad games honestly.
@mikegamer on the level though, my issue with this is that McDonald’s is disgusting (even if I am hypocrite and do eat it from time to time), but 90’s McDonald’s was even worse. And they are giving away plastic junk with them. So called “Happy Meals” are just straight up bad news and always have been.
The Switch is amazing and has some truly awesome games, but pound for pound next to the PS4s catalogue it’s lacking - although it took 2 years for PS4 to really get going.
@carlos82 I think it’s a case of people enjoying the one they played first the most, since they are actually pretty different. This remake does look very nice though.
@AlexSora89 I guess it’s a similar concept as not negotiating with terrorists. It sucks for the hostages but if you don’t take a hard line you’re gunna have a lot more hostages!
@AlexSora89 sorry I’m on lunch hence the fast responses . The point is the fine is as a result of when they were not stating they were not related to Nintendo. The subsequent increased fine is as a result of the appeal of the original decision. It has nothing to do with everything they did after they stopped using the brand.
@AlexSora89 ahh we’re on to nazis already are we 😂 it’s just business, Nintendo don’t have the time or inclination to write individual rules for everyone while worrying about precedents being set that will undermine future arguments. It’s not their problem.
@AlexSora89 sure, but it’s as simple as they were ripping off Nintendo’s brand to make a profit. They rightly got taken to task for it, and charged £92k. They then stopped using the brand, and appealed the £92k and lost. So everything bad that’s happened to them was as a result of when they were abusing the brand, it sucks that they can’t continue to operate moving forward but that’s the way she goes I guess.
I’m sure it’ll be back in some capacity, or someone else will fill the gap.
@BenAV if it’s your only course of action of course it is. Cases are appealed and then lost all the time. If it’s going to finish them either way it makes sense to stay running for as long as you can, even if you’re effectively winding the company down in the process. And you never know, they could have won it and saved a massive 90k. I have no idea if the debt is still payable in Japan if the company folds.
@AlexSora89 what are they buying? A bunch of old carts and dirty outfits?
Does seem odd that the company can’t carry on with all of the non-Nintendo branding. But if I read it correctly, the initial damages were for what they were doing in 2018 before the changes and the 450k is as a result of the appeal. I guess they just don’t have the money for that.
Yes!!! The first one is one of my favourite games of this generation. The original did come along at the right time in PS4s life cycle for me, or I probably wouldn’t have given it a fair go. I’m really chuffed he feels like he has another one in him. Switch exclusive?
@John_Koshiro I’m not one of these IGN hating bandwagon jumpers, I actually quite like the video reviews they do, but that review is straight up BS. Legendary levels of BS, frankly.
As for the game, it’s one of the finest games of this generation. Often a game comes out (Resident Evil, Pokemon or whatever) and the fans might say “How did they get this so wrong?! Give me a budget and I’ll make an AMAZING game!” Well this is basically what the devs did here - they made the Alien game a true fan of the movie would have made. Bravo!
(I will say, there is a wee difficulty hump near the start, as you deal with the first real human threat. Just knuckle down and push through it.)

@carlos82 I played all of second and half of first. Second is way better IMO.
Gunna be getting this, though. Opinion might change.

@AlexSora89 you can’t really pick and choose what you go after, you just go after everything - then everyone gets the message.

Re: Nintendo To Be Awarded Over $450,000 In Court Win Against Unofficial Mario Kart Service
@BenAV a lot of companies don’t just have 92k sitting around. They might not have had a choice.
Re: Nintendo To Be Awarded Over $450,000 In Court Win Against Unofficial Mario Kart Service
@nathatruc they probably couldn’t cover the initial 90, either.
