Re: First Impressions: Hell in a Handbasket - DOOM on Nintendo Switch

ottospooky

Remember when there was a spate of releasing Gameboy Color versions of AAA titles like MGS? Those were inferior versions. No one moaned about frame rate and graphical sacrifices in those days.

It’s Doom on the go, people!! See it for what it is. And even if it’s a near final build and it’s crashing, they’ll likely day one patch it

@SLIGEACH_EIRE it looks to me like a bit of love has gone into this game; you can vericalise the console to feel like you're playing in an arcade cabinet. The backgrounds look nice. And it equates to £3 per title.
Expensive that may be but lazy, not so sure it is...

@sabre_wulf1 Playing devil's advocate here with my tongue firmly in my cheek -
If you've played these games for 8 hours per day at the arcade, this brings me to believe the £30 asking price is small change compared to what you've invested in these in your misspent youth - with inflation I estimate you've already spend £30,000.06 already. Go on, pay another £30. You will never again have to tap your folks up for their spare change

Re: Sine Mora EX Listed for 8th August on European Switch eShop

The premium price is down to the fact we're in early into the lifespan of the console, and the physical cartridge medium is typically more expensive than CD to manufacture. Having this physical and portable is a price worth paying for me and I'm keen for devs to support Switch so I'm in.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?

Good E3. Lots still MIA. but I'm sure we'll hear about it soon. They're really going with the one first party title per moth stuff in a big way which will avoid droughts ... for now.

Third parties-wise, however, pretty attrocious. The fact that Nintendo themselves are publishing Skyrim - rather than Bethesda - is pretty telling how much a risk factor Switch seems to be even for the big publishers. Hopefully when sales are maintained consistently the big ones will be on board.
