Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?

sevex

It’s undeniably a great looking, well made game, with tons of details, stuff to scan. My only criticism (at maybe 6 hours in) is that it’s very linear. Any time I see a “side door”, I expect it to be a save room, and it almost always is. Would be nice if the maps had a few more paths to explore. Maybe they open up eventually?

Re: Opinion: Why Focus On Silksong's Difficulty When We Need To Talk About How Cute It is?

I’ve gotten into a habit of not attacking an enemy until it attacks me first. They’re just all so adorable and I feel bad taking the first swing haha.

And while the game is definitely hard, I feel like it leaves a much more lasting impression. Donkey Kong Bonanza was fun, but every boss encounter was a pushover, which made them all very forgettable. With they could have spent a little more time tuning the difficulty for that one.

Re: Opinion: 10 Years Old Today, Undertale Has Been A Constant Source Of Fun & Learning Between Me & My Kids

It’s kinda crazy to think anyone that likes video games hasn’t played this one yet.

I’ll admit I was skeptical about the hype it had early on. I went into it doing my best to prove to myself that it was highly over rated and came away from it certain I had played one of the most important games of my life. The soundtrack alone is worth the experience, but then it does such a fantastic job of mixing familiar things with some of the most creative, imaginative stuff I’ve ever seen in a game. Congrats on 10 years of inspiring people Undertale and Toby Fox!

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Has Been Updated To Version 2.0.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@Desa I thought the exact same thing after watching that direct. I just paid $100 (CAD + tax) for Donkey Kong and there’s already a dlc that’s gonna be like another $40. Probably gonna skip on the next few Nintendo games or get em when they go on sale. (The new Pokémon already has paid dlc announced and it’s not even out yet!)

Then there were the Zelda Switch 2 editions. Thankfully I got them from the Switch Online membership cause they are absolutely not worth $15 plus tax. And the price of that old Kirby game with new content, $130? Nintendo you’re making it hard to stay loyal right now…

Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong's Price Has Been Officially Announced

sevex

Not often something is priced cheaper than you’d expect. Guess I’ll be buying some merch from Fangamer 😁

Also respect to the devs for taking their time, creating the game they wanna make, and pricing it in a way that allows the most people to enjoy it. This is what making games should be about!

Re: Video: Uh Oh, Elden Ring On Switch 2 Has Issues In Handheld Mode

sevex

I played Elden Ring on the base ps4. It was 30 fps and had lots of bad framerate drops. I loved it and had a great time putting over 100 hours into it. I think the only thing that bugged me was the long load times due to the old hard drive in my ps4. Guess what I’m saying is framerates don’t make or break great game?

Re: Switch 2's HDR Looking Washed Out On Your TV? Here's The Fix

sevex

@Asaki Oh yeah mine used to have regular colour options alongside HDR options, but they've recently disabled the regular options, either cause they're stupid and don't know they sold tvs that don't have good HDR support, or cause they want people to think their tv has terrible picture quality so they buy a new one.

Either way this should be the code you want:

Press the Home button five times, then Rewind, Down, Fast Forward, Down, and Rewind.

You'll see an option to disable HDR. (It's the only way to get the normal colour options back.) Once you turn it off everything will look way better. Also get used to doing it again every now and then, cause the last few updates have re-enabled it for me.

Re: As Switch 2 Breaks Records Worldwide, Sony Reminds Us That PS5 Still Exists

sevex

I loved the PS4, but I think PS5 suffers from a little bit of "too much". The console design is too much (too fancy, too big), the actual UI of the firmware is too much (there are so many unnecessary options that get in the way of just playing a game and putting the thing to sleep), and the controller is just too much (too heavy, too much led, does too much to make the battery last a long time).
