Re: China Bans Sales Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons In Suspected Censorship Scuffle

@JR150 yeah, right, we know how they enforce their policies that don't involve freedom restrictions:

"One seller of CFC-11 estimated that 70% of China's domestic sales used the illegal gas. The reason is quite simple - CFC-11 is better quality and much cheaper than the alternatives.
The authorities have banned CFC-11 but enforcement of the regulation is poor.
"We were absolutely gobsmacked to find that companies very openly confirmed using CFC-11 while acknowledging it was illegal," Avipsa Mahapatra from EIA told BBC News."

Also, CCP encourages TCM, which leads to poaching of endangered species and is the first reason we've got C-19. So, good luck believing.

Re: Nintendo And Cygames Detect "Improper Use" Of Dragalia Lost, Warn Players Not To Violate User Agreement

@Mince don't play free-to-play games if you don't like spending money. as for me - i'm ok with spending some money on in-game purchases if i really like a game (you know, developers, designers and all other people involved should be rewarded for entertaining you). also i will never cheat in a game i don't like - it's like cheating in casino and then try to write it off as "because it's gambling it's ok".

Re: Analysts Agree That Switch Will Be King In 2020, Less Sure About The Switch Pro

monterxz

there will be no switch pro, like there wasn't in 2019. nintendo is not competing with sony or microsoft, like it wasn't with gameboy and ds (sony tried to compete with nintendo and we all know how "well" it went). most of the people had forgoten, that nintendo started with handheld games (game&watch), than they moved into home console market when others crashed it in us (in europe nintendo had hard time competing with pc gaming and sega). when new players emerged in home console market (sony and microsoft) nintendo lost it's position and went back to where they started and excelled - handheld gaming.
who would by switch pro for $400 if new xbox and playstations cost the same and are more "pro"? i'd buy switch pro even for $1000 just because i can and i spend this much about twice a year on phones (don't like cases and screen protectors but drop phones a lot), but who else will?

@Nintyfan "Not really. I have 2 day 1 models, one of which is frequently used by kids, and have absolutely zero Joycon drift." - if you don't encounter any issues does not mean no one has them - you are just lucky. for example: i had no issues with windows phone, windows 8 and microsoft edge web browser (original) - we all know how well it played out

Re: Video: Digital Foundry Gives Its Technical Analysis Of Astral Chain On Switch

@60frames-please, you are mistaken, because for "performance mode" games use reduced textures, lightning and effects along with reduced resolution to jump from 30fps to 60fps. I'm glad this game has a very stable fps, even if it's 30 - don't like games that has variable fps and jump +/-10 or more frames. at least here we have smooth "cinematic" experience.

Re: Soapbox: The Nintendo Switch Lite Has The One Thing I've Been Waiting For All This Time

I never use d-pad for movement even in platformers (not a fan of fighting games) and will never exchange dock mode for d-pad.
I'm not sure why they removed dock support. If they wanted to make it cheaper, they could make it an optional buy. I never disconnect joy-cons from my switch, because I have a pro controller and couple of xbox controllers with 8bitdo bluetooth adapter to play on TV.

Re: Bethesda's Pete Hines Says "It's Clear" The Studio Is Bringing New Players To Switch

I'm the one, because I've decided to buy switch when I saw it has Doom and Wolfenstein. Breath of the Wild is the only Nintendo game I have in my library of 50+ games and not because I'm a Zelda fan but because I like open world games.
I bought Doom on Switch but continued to play it on Steam for some time, because Doom on switch runs 30fps and on my laptop it runs 60fps with better graphics. Haven't gone too far though because my xbox elite controller died and I'm waiting for the new one to come out this November. Meanwhile playing lot's of indie stuff on my Switch.
