@Matthew010 @kingbk @fancypants @electrolite77 Chill out. It's a free country, and I may publish my OPINION about the games in the article as I will. You don't have to like it and if that's the case, just move on to the next comment. I have said Nintendo games are for kids and that's the idea they give me. There was not a moment I said they are bad games or that I dislike them. You think I'm "trolling"? That's your opinion. You think I'm an idiot for saying the things I said? That's also your opinion. BTW, no need to call me names like others did, we're all grown up people who can respect other gamers' opinions, right? Good. I thought so.
@San_D I do care about portability, yeah. I'm a gamer at my core and I also run a branch of a company in my city. I don't have the privilege of sitting down and having a good time in front of the big screen, but I do some gaming in my journeys, when possible. Those old PC games being brought to the Switch are like new to me because I never played them before, so I do welcome them here. And lemme tell you something, @Toy_Link , having fun with an "older-gen" game isn't a crime, and it certainly isn't ground for judging someone as a real gamer or not.
@kingbk I define a real game as the software that:
Makes me lose track of time due to how fun and enjoyable it is;
Has a ton of stuff/content going for it, adding up to replayability;
Gives me the feeling of progression as I play it;
Makes me realize it was worth every penny invested in it.
@blockfight I stand by my rating. Alien Isolation can get very tense but even so I do get that input-delay but it's a lot more forgiving than Grid, which does an OK job - as it does in Alien: Isolation. The reason I voted it poorly is because when playing it in battery saving mode, input-delay gets even worse when there are a lot of cars and you need to do a sharp curve, not to mention the physics are much less forgiving in harder difficulties. Still, I'm a big racing fan, and I let that show by putting Grid one spot higher than Alien: Isolation on my list.
I've been exploring the Switch's game library, but there really isn't that much for someone who came from PC. So those are my top 8:
#1 Assassin's Creed - the Rebel Collection aka Black Flag
#2 Witcher 3
#3 Torchlight 2
#4 Resident Evil 2
#5 GRID
#6 Alien: Isolation
#7 Sniper Elite 3
#8 Saints Row - the Third
I respectfully disagree with that score, and that comes from a FPS fan. The game does a decent job at telling a story, but the gameplay is below average at best. I played this game on normal difficulty and yet those bandits feel more like bullet sponges, usually taking seven to eight bullets each to take down (I'm talking PISTOLS, not shotgun or machine gun. This is a wild west themed game, not Mafia, mind you). Add that to the fact that you can't run-and-reload because... go figure. Not to mention the crack animation the game draws every time I get hit, makes it even more annoying than it has to be. This game, along with Street Fighter 30th anniversary made me realize Nintendo doesn't do refunds, but if it did, I would refund in a heartbeat. As a side note, the only reason I'd refund SF is because AFTER I played a few minutes of that game, I came to realize it does my sticks no favor. It actually made me feel even more concerned about my sticks than I was before buying my Switch Lite. Finally, my score for this game is a 5/10: It's a beautiful yet unbalanced mess that gets old quickly, no matter how innovative the game tries to be. I guess it's probably because I played Borderlands in the past and thought this would be something different, but that's just me.
