@MARl0 Yes you are right! I remember. It's like sadists made the whole final dungeon - boss battle! I tried twice and then I gave up to the game!! I watched the ending in youtube and I wrote an email to Square Enix about this. It was a fantastic game but in the end, they left to us a bitterness. I hope it's easier now in the sequel..
I would like to know if the final boss can be actually beaten this time because my only complaint from the first game was this. Maybe we will know it after some days but please no spoilers if anyone will beat it.
Boring game. I just played the demo on Switch and I deleted it in a few minutes. Throwing Sonic character in a realistic world with boring music and uninspired enemies is not very fun, at least for me. I would rather play the old MegaDrive / GBA than this. I don't understand what on earth people find in this game that they really like!
@stevep They have those that need to be shown/defeated. It's not an ordinary fps like CoD but FPA (First Person Adventure). Exploration is the key element to this game with some puzzles, & backtracking like all the metroid titles. Highly recommended!
I hope that in the successor, if we had a library of Switch games to be transferable to the new library and not pay for them again. Like for example in Android / iOS systems. Keep the compatibility and pump up the hardware!
Maybe it's due to legal rights from actors that were using their voices. It's a trend nowadays. It does make sense. If this is not the reason, then no, it is dumb. I am fine with Japanese audio. No problems..
@RubyCarbuncle I am with you. Ok, it's a fantastic remastered-port but we have already paid it for GameCube and Wii (Trilogy), so this price for us it's somehow not very friendly. For newcomers, it's great! It's not a complete remake and if we have to pay all the three games in the future, that are almost 2 decades old, it would be a lot of money. And then what? An HD trilogy package to buy it again? I really want to buy it but I will wait for a price drop or used copy.
I had played only the first in GameCube and it was one of the best games for the console. Yes, indeed the OST is very good! I am listening all these years from time to time. Somehow melancholic but good!
I had played it on iPhone some years ago and I really enjoyed it! Highly recommended. I will not buy it again but for if you are new, then give it a shot. One of Capcom's little gems.
@NintendoByNature Exactly! This is the show that I was waiting for a whole year! Latest E3 exhibitions were not bad, maybe the games were bad! It was a place where the big companies had to show and impress the audience with the latest games etc. It was great because we were having so many trailers of so many games. It's true that many were weak and not interested but this is not something to blame E3 organizers.
I would like to pay for Nintendo Online and play GoldenEye and now my Switch has the error with LAN, "unable to obtain an IP address". So frustrating.. And with wi-fi it's very slow..
The negative is the extra positive that I was looking for and it will be an instant buy! If I would like to have dating and social nonsense, I would play a Sim game.
@Ralizah Octpath1 is a great RPG with great soundtrack also. The only thing that I disliked was the final boss that was brutal hard. I saw the ending in youtube. Apart from this, it's highly recommended.
If not the best trailer for videogames for me but surely one of the best! I got so excited when I saw it and I had awaken just to watch it realtime. It was Friday morning and I remember till now! BOTW is one of the best video games!
Also it has 27 million views in youtube which is a remarkable achievement!
@SonOfDracula Yes, it is true. Apart from the bike, is nothing like Akira.. I don't like very much the framerate. I hope it can be fixed in the last version of the game.
@Ralizah Yes, it is a step forward than Three Houses! I am wondering how the frame rate will be in the main hub because in the monastery was too low. I hope they will have fixed this issue.
A fan since GameCube title and I continue playing this great series! I dislike only in Three Houses all these sub quests and so many dialogues between characters but thankfully you can skip them. I will buy this for sure but I have to beat first Fire Emblem Warriors.
It looks like more as the previous titles of Fire Emblem and not as Three Houses which was more RPG.. Too much talking, doing various jobs, etc. I like this more. It 's maybe more traditional FE.
@roylaza I agree! Turn based strategy games with touch control are very suited in. Very few TBS games are good in mobile. I was playing Fire Emblem DS games but the control is not good and it's frustrating.
I don't understand. They had a decade for preparing the game and they could not have it ready for Switch? It's not a Wii U but Switch. Is there any beta testing anymore before releasing a game? Do we have to wait every time a patch to smooth the frame rate, performance issues, etc?
@Truegamer79 I agree. I was searching for Metroid Dread in YouTube and I was spoiled by some stupid users where they had put major spoilers of the ending in the thumbnail of theirs youtube videos !! You didn't have to watch the video, you just had a glare in the recommended videos and you had spoilers..
@Noelemahc yes, aitd was indeed very scary and it was one of the first horror survival games. Long before Resident Evil. I remember playing it on PC 386 and it was an uncomfortable experience. No nightmares though.. It had a great atmosphere of its age. Another game on PC that I remember that it was scary as a kid, was the adventure Colonel's Bequest.
If it will be a good port with 60 fps and a local multi-player, then bring any modern warfare game or better a new exclusive title only for Switch but this will not happen.
OK, this seems like the real deal! A clone of Fzero but different and without extra bizarre mechanics like swap colors, energy, or tight stages, or weapons etc. I hope in Switch version will have 60 fps and 4 player local multi-player.
I liked very much the NeoGeo game. I didn't know that there were more titles after this !!! Wow! If it has a good price, day one purchase! I hope it will have 4 player local multiplayer!
