@KatiaManagan you think this is bad, you should of seen when animal crossing came out, there was like 6 articles a day for a week straight. They pick games they think are going to be popular and make loads of articles on those games for views or attract more users
@nicols yeah there's also a site called "CJS CD KEYS" which sell you a Nintendo account which has the game you want so you can download it and play on your profile, but after a month that account gets blocked and you can't access the game anymore
@BlackKnight93 Well said! Sometimes it boils down to jealousy as certain good games on other consoles get praised and fan boys get jealous they can't play it on their system and they have too much pride to buy a "rival" console
@Ultrasmiles I lost a lot of good soldiers in fire emblem lol but seriously if Nintendo did 18+ games they maybe that would be an option they would explore
Who doesn't love a Mario game? Im pretty sure every gamer as atleast tried a Mario game once in their life. You can't buy a Nintendo console and not try a Mario game, heck even on mobile you can try a Mario game.
And what's with the comments bashing TLOU2? It's an amazing game and there's a reason it got a overall score of 94, infact I'm certain it's going to be between that and cyberpunk 2077 for GOTY
@nessisonett I agree that their sales are awful, their first party exclusive titles hardly aver drop below £30 yet ps4 exclusives drop below £12 after a year
@sanderev not all sites are like that, I think cd keys are one of the few legit ones, they actually send me codes to use on the eshop whilst the dodgy sites just give you an pre made Nintendo account login with the game on
@Samsamsam I agree, if pokemon go aloud you to transfer pokemon that weren't in sword and shield to sword and shield then I'm sure more people would play.
Or maybe a Mario game where you can earn stars or coins in a mobile app for walking certain distances which then can be transfered to the switch game
Obviously this is just a prank as how would he even reach the top phones? And would he see where he is going? It would be hard to balance the bike! A phone bill for phone data on all those phones using different sims would be ridiculously high! Its safe to say this is just for comedic effect and not practical.
Seems cool but wow so dissapointed in the diving, I was expecting to actually swim under water and maybe find things on the see floor and see fish and coral etc

@Paraka maybe your right some influence on certain sites(looking at IGN), And a lot of bad review bombing have had mixed effects on TLOU2, really bad user score and a really high critic score gives people mixed signals.
People should just stick to one trusted site for their reviews and avoid metacritic altogether, like me I use NintendoLife for my Nintendo games and push square for my ps4 games and I trust their reviews to be honest.
I wonder how many people who buy games even read or listen to reviews? Has to be pretty low, so are these review bombers or these sites being paid to write glowing reviews making much difference?
@mesome713 tbf pokemon was review bombed by salty pokemon fans because of the pokedex cut
Whilst the last of us is being review bombed by die hard xbox and Nintendo fans
@Paraka you can only define it a masterpiece or not if you've played the game, and if someone isn't into that kind of game then of course they won't consider it a masterpiece, such as a die hard playstation fan playing Mario for the first time or animal crossing for the first and saying its childish and cartoony and boring etc. Are they wrong?
These people saying it's a masterpiece are just giving their personal opinion.
These sites giving high scores obviously had a reviewer who played the previous game and enjoyed the first installment and enjoys these kind of games, hence the high score, that's how reviews work.
BUT if this game got reviewed by people that never played the last of us 1 then these scores would be much lower as some of those reviewers wouldn't like the game or genre
Thumbs up! As I love mobas. The dislikes are obviously from those who arent very strategic or from those who were expecting a new mainline pokemon game or remake
The main reason has to be the switches hardware, I mean witcher 3 isn't a graphically challenging game and it still looks bad and blury on the switch.
Now if they made games from scratch with the switch on mind then yes we could get some really good third party games on the switch.
BUT these third party developers develop games with the ps4 and xbox one in mind which means the switch won't be able to hand a straight port, the only way is to spend more money and resources and try to downgrade the game for the switch which obviously most companies don't want to do
@BabyYoshi12 they might be free but damn have you seen the prices of microtransactions, £75 for some crystals for a chance of getting some good characters?
If they made the Microtransactions cheaper then people would spend more money on mobile gaming
@COVIDberry maybe gimmick was the wrong phrase as its more than that, the switch has massively flourished and thats why Nintendo need to be careful about there next console, the wii was a success but the wii u was a flop, I think in terms of gimmicks/innovation what else could they possible play with?
To me out of the wii, wii u and the switch, the switch has been the best innovation yet and should be the staple design idea going forward with future Nintendo consoles but just better ram, cpu, gpu and battery etc
Honestly I worried about what console nintendo make after the Nintendo switch.
They need to keep the console/handheld hybrid design going forward with future consoles.
They need to standardise this concept with future gens just like Sony and Microsoft keep the same fundamentals with ecah gen but just with better graphics and hardrive, the time for gimmicks is over.
@sanderev not much tbh, Japan is all about handhelds and being social which handhelds help with, the PlayStation 5 will dominate the west instead though
