@penfold007 Loads of people are buying their first Switch every year, and it’s still the best football game on the Switch. Ergo, it sells loads every year.

I had a GBA and DS Lite for years and I've never played any of these...

Pretty pointless publicity stunt, given they already know exactly who has played which games and for how long.

Haven't played any of them. Or bought a new Switch game in months, for that matter.

@NoTinderLife So close to being a sick burn, but feel free to try again later.

Like most golf games of the time, totally spoiled by the impossible putting mechanics.

Don't really see the point, to be honest... Mario Kart is already a fun, colourful, cartoony game, so a Lego version doesn't really seem much different.

@Snatcher I don't see how it's a rip-off. The best calculator apps take time and effort to develop and cost money to buy. Even the good Android ones, whose users are famously resistant to paying for apps, cost $3 or so, while pCalc for iOS is $9.99.

Well, I've played one of those, at least.

It also retains its crown as the only one of the top 10 I've ever played on my Switch. (Or anyone else's.)

@nessisonett Nothing to do with being dodgy in my case, just prefer my games to be designed by professionals rather than randos on the internet.

Never been the least bit interested in mods, but still likely to buy this.

Nobody will be “objecting” if it’s a British court. That’s a purely American thing.

Another toad that's really a mushroom. Bizarre.

@KiryuJ Unfortunately, unless everyone walks from their house to the theme park, takes their own food, and eats it outside, a visit to the park involves a good deal of not being outdoors.

Enjoy playing this on Mac, will certainly be picking up the Switch version too.

@Anti-Matter “Old style gaming” is cups and dice made out of animal horn. In comparison, physical cartridge releases were a brief fad around the turn of the 20th century.

Anyone who’s expecting any big UI changes now with a Switch Pro supposedly somewhat imminent is going to continue to be disappointed.

@COVIDberry Given that they said last year they don't have any plans for a physical release, I think it's safe to say there isn't going to be a physical release.

@gcunit Feral have made it pretty clear there isn't going to be a physical release of GRID Autosport. I'd just move on if I were you.

Did anyone think this wasn't the reason?

Lawnmower simulators have a long history of being "so bad they're good". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Lawnmower_Simulator

@Valdney I’ve only ever managed to find anyone else online once.

I know, Nintendo sucks etc. But you do have to wonder who would even start making a fan-made Ninetendo game these days when everyone knows this is exactly what’s going to happen to it, and there are plenty other games they could make instead.

I've never watched anything on Netflix in my life and I've never owned a WiiU or a 3DS. But hey, this is the internet, so I'm going to comment anyway.

@mariomaster96 There's absolutely nothing wrong with buying it, it's a perfectly reasonable football game. If you then buy any subsequent version, however...

@Moistnado And yet, they sell some of the most popular consumer products in the world. Go figure.

Still play it fairly regularly as it's easy to play in short bursts, but the mobile mechanics (no pun intended) still irk me greatly for a console title. Haven't spent a cent on it though, so hard to complain.

@Ironcore On the other hand, I’ve always preferred 30fps racing games because it feels more like it looks on TV. 60fps just looks all weird and floaty, with much less sense of speed.

Just a hunch, but I suspect the reason it won't (fully) work on carpet is that drift mechanic.

Haven't really played it since I got a Switch Lite in June.

@PlayedNSlayed Yes, it’s permanent. At least until a Epic pulls another move of some description, which is bound to happen sometime.

@Shamrock Reviving from what? It’s as popular as ever.

@eRaz0r Everybody who bought the game does get some kind of gift, as they’ve previously explained.

Looks like I’ll be saving a lot of money this winter.

Surely somebody in his line of work would know a real decorator.

So it's not a tribute at all then, it's just a coincidence. Nice clickbait.

Not generally interested in remasters when I still have the original games and consoles to play them on... so, no.

@Entrr_username Same as always... companies are legally required to defend their IPs or risk losing them, even if they have no current plans to do anything with them.

@Crockin Given that no other app store has really fixed it either, presumably quite a bit.

@Daniel36 Not as good to American and European eyes, of course. Japanese art is designed for the Japanese market, and they know what they like.

I was interested until I heard "drift mode". Drifting ain't racing.

@MattAllsopp You'd have to ask Feral Interactive about that... I'd guess they have first refusal, having done the Grid Autosport port for Switch, and the F1 ports for Mac and Linux.

@Xiovanni So would I, I'd only be able to play it until December.

I'm sure it's a fun game, but I have to say this graphical style looks nothing like Aardman. I barely even recognised Shaun.

So basically, neither of those things is going to happen, is it.

@Octane They can of course, though it’s trickier to make one with a recovery email address that matches that pattern, But far from impossible.

I'd still be playing it if Epic hadn't trashed the Mac and Linux versions. (I've tried on my Switch Lite, but the analog stick just doesn't seem as accurate as the Xbox ones, so half the time I end up flipping sideways instead of straight foward.)

@Daniel36 It's free, but it's riddled with all the usual loot box and pay-to-win mobile game crap that shouldn't really have a place on consoles.

Always thought this was the most over-hyped entry in the Burnout series tbh, never really worked as an open world game for me, for many of the reasons mentioned in the review. The most fun part was probably the multiplayer, but even that relied pretty heavily on voice chat to complete some of the missions etc.
