Re: Back Page: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Fit Check - Celebrating Lumiose Fashion Week In Style

I always spend some time customizing my characters when games allow it. Personalizing your experience as much as possible is important, specially on things like Pokemon, which are games that sell you the idea of being a young adventurer experiencing the world at your leisure. Maybe that's why I rarely have problems with the cost of games, as I tend to take advantage lf everything that they offer as much as I'm able.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 3 Is Getting Bonus 'Side Story' DLC Next Year

I understand people waiting for discounts and not liking DLCs that are announced before releasing the game, but in my case MH Stories has proven it's worth and I'll support the franchise with the full price so that it gets as much success as possible. These are still spin-off games that are nowhere near as popular as the mainline entries and Capcom doesn't have the best track record of continuing franchises that perform lower than expected. Besides, both of previous entries are among my most played games on Switch so I'm definitely getting my money's worth. And it arrives on my birthday so it's a perfect gift for myself haha.

Re: Review: Two Point Museum (Switch 2) - Probably The Best Game In The Series, But No Mouse Mode?

@HingryHuppo I feel like this is a different scenario since this is not just a gimmick but an actual valid alternative for playing games. A lot of developers didn't know what was up with the Switch 2 so it makes sense that they haven't taken advantage of this feature that much. Having said that, I do think that while it won't be left behind and we'll keep seeing it being used from time to time until the end of it's lifespan, a lot of games that could take advantage of the feature won't do it.

Re: Kirby Air Riders 'Global Test Ride' Demo Kicks Off Next Month

@Cloudman Dude, those demos are to test online play. What audience is more fitting than the one that plays online? I really doubt that they had in mind getting many new subscriptions because of a Demo, they just expect the public that plays online to be interested in a new, big multiplayer game.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Pokémon Legends: Z-A?

roy130390

8/10 for me. Visuals in Pokemon games are nowhere near as bad as people say, at least not on every aspect. Many textures look good, performance is pretty much flawless on Switch 2, Pokemon models are nice and so are humans. The problem is that some human animations look rigid while others look good and the exterior environment looks bland. However, interiors look beautiful and there's many different npc models. There's good and bad and the hatred that the game is receiving is exaggerated. A lot of the criticism isn't even real and is clearly from people that haven't played it or wanted to give it a bad score from the start. There's an agenda against companies that for them is tied with the reception to this game and they see things in black and white. It's not as easy as not buying it because that just says that you don't want this kind of spin-off and we shouldn't be hating it or loving it blindly, but almost everyone goes to extremes. It innovated and added things that people wanted like real time combat and the gameplay is quite fun and satisfying, but it also cuts corners in some things about the presentation that could be there. Simple as that.

Getting this today. To me, the biggest problem seems to be the city, which seems to play it a little too safe. I don't have the many problems that people seem to have with Pokemon games nowadays, but the exploration needs to be more engaging and for that they need additional optional content in the form of characters, stories and easter eggs. There needs to be locations to discover and with unique atmosphere and layouts. Mysteries to unravel and talk about for days, which I understand is harder on this day and age, but still doable.

@davey1983 Then you regressed.To begin with, game's quality is something subjective.I can guarantee you that some of your favorite games sold less than others that you don't like as much or even dislike. By your logic, every popular sports game that sold millions and added little to nothing between entries is much better than any other that can't reach those sales. Of course a football licensed game, the most popular sport in the world, is gonna sell better than Hades.

This isn't even exclusive to games, it also applies to music, movies, etc. It's common sense to understand that there's many factors to consider and that, while quality is a positive aspect, isn't a determining one on many situations and much less the only thing to determine that.

Sales matter to the person selling a product, however they don't influence the enjoyment of the consumers in any way.

Re: Review: Absolum (Switch) - Evolves Arcade, RPG & Roguelike Formats Into Something Fresh & Exciting

@Tom-Massey Hi Tom! Personally I don't plan to do it, but if a person considers that "a bad mechanic" they do have the option to try that to see if they prefer the more "Rogue-like" approach and if not they always have the chance to change their mind and see how the game's actually balanced around those intended mechanics. Of course I agree that doing that is removing core gameplay elements that make the game more enjoyable, but then again there's always the masochist that finds enjoyment in beating the Souls games on a thong and with a broken hilt sword.

I prefer to mention that the game technically offers the possibility of playing how they want even if it isn't the intended way as long as they try it so that it doesn't go under the radar. There's a chance for them to actually discover new types of games that they can enjoy and that they would discard other way.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorld's First "Premium" DLC Pack Arrives This Week

@slowpoke_tail Yup, I've been saying the same stuff. I actually don't mind the race tracks, but the mute characters that aren't even from gaming feel like the mods that people do with games. It's like when they ask Goku for Smash, and I'm a huge DB fan. Smash is a celebration of Nintendo's legacy and gaming as a whole featuring the most iconic characters from them and the industry. Sure, Goku's iconic but it's an anime character and despite having games it's not the same thing.

Re: Rumour: Red Dead Redemption 2 Port For Switch 2 Really Does "Exist", It's Claimed

roy130390

I can't say that I agree about the slow gameplay as I reall enjoyed it. Or maybe it is, in an intended immersive way at times when it was needed. I'm not even a fan of cowboys and westerns, but the game is simply epic and made me appreciate those things more. Also, love worlds that are full of optional stories, stuff to do and things to find and this is one of the best.
