Re: Soapbox: If You Thought Last Year Was "Sad" For Switch, 2023 Might Be Hard To Handle

muscpt

Enjoyed XB 3, Kirby, MHR expansion and Violet. Outside of those my Switch was essentially a console for Indie games and MK8. I would not sell my Switch. However, I would not be surprised if devs reach a point sooner rather then later of watering down their product for a port. Which I think may be healthy to stimulate Nintendo to update hardware past a beautiful screen.

As one that keeps staying into MHR at least weekly for a good hunt, I want to say hats off to Capcom for keeping the content coming. I love how they are not shelving this game after they made their money. Based upon MHR and Stories 2 sales I am looking forward to Nintendo making MH more of a permanent seat at the gaming-cycle table.

Re: Video: Comparing The OLED, Switch, And Switch Lite Screens

muscpt

I owned my OLED less than 15 minutes and could already appreciate the more rich colors on screen and more expansive viewing environment. Seems, just like viewing customer pics of TV screens, it does not capture well to show in film/picture medium. Hopefully some will be on display in store.

Re: Video: Here's How To Change The Screen Settings On Your Nintendo Switch OLED

I would think there would be some "click ok" warning message to release them of liability of usage habits (lesson learned from joycons) if burn-in was that sensitive of a potential event. Reading some professional tech websites it seems the platform manufactures have modified light distribution patterns to avoid burn-in much like LCD has modified itself to avoid Dirty Screen Effect.

Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On The Switch OLED As Pre-Orders Go Live In The US

Rather than do online button pushing, I went into my local GameStop and placed my order for me and SO for a White model with no drama at all. Took about 5 minutes. While there another person did the same. They had their master list out and total my GameStop had round 20 they could sale in store yesterday. All my friends that went into GameStop yesterday had success that took about as long as it takes to fill up a car's tank of gas.

Re: UK Charts: Animal Crossing Returns To Number One, Surpasses One Million Physical Copies Sold

I think ACNH will be in the top for a while for sales, but hours played this year will start to really drop off. I know plenty of players of the game that have said this past event that they could care less as they did it last year, and at this point they play 15-30 minutes every 3 days or so and that is it. So sales yes, actual hours played this week would be more interesting to me.

Re: Review: Apex Legends - A Great Game Hamstrung By A Compromised Switch Port

muscpt

I think Apex Legends will be the hot ticket on Switch for now as players want a more recent shooter. The graphics are a bummer as it makes it hard, unlike in Fortnite, to see your target early less your have Blood Hound in the group. The latter can be an outcome of needing more map variation. It will be interesting to see when Overwatch 2 comes out if everyone looks at Apex and says "well, that was real and fun, but was not real fun, good bye eye strain, hello clean line of sight."

Re: Soapbox: I'm Tired Of Ports And Remakes - Where Are All Nintendo's New Ideas?

muscpt

Having not owned a WiiU I can see what they are doing in the interest of making money by porting all the WiiU titles to the gravy train of the Switch to now make the money they intended to make. That said, I enjoy risk, XB Chronicles was a wonderful new IP. Glad to see they are doing Splatoon 3, let's hope it is not Splatoon 2 with 4-5 new boards and enjoy your new game. MK 9- let us customize our points on our car, and not make it 80% drift dependent, and 20% drafting/trading paint.

Re: Feature: A Tribute To Bobby "The Nintendo Guru" Pauls

muscpt

I had the pleasure of conversing with him on Twitch often by being a follower, and he truly made you feel welcomed on his stream. Without meeting him in person you could tell his personality was only shadowed by his heart! AC lost not a Guru, but a Legend. He brought so much joy into people's lives that he will never know; his light will continue to shine for countless!

Re: The First Review For Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Now In

muscpt

I have played the demo and by no means get into frame rate reading. I never noticed any drops in gameplay experience or visuals irregardless of how many bad dudes were coming at me. My review in one statement: if you love BOTW then you owe it to yourself to play this game as it is the missing puzzle piece.

Re: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity amiibo Functionality Detailed

muscpt

I figured this would be their function. That said I am not disappointed nor surprised. I still enjoy new releases of any amiibo, and have grown to see them as a collector item that happens to give me some in-game perks versus an "toy to Life" that gives me an uber cool collector item that is a 'game changer.' I have been a fanboy since the 80's and will continue to enjoy this line of collectables; albeit I get the ones I personally want and/or mean something to me.
