@JohnnyMind Well the game isn't officially released yet ( out on 6th ) , that is just the number of people who essentially preordered the Premium Edition for the early access , so I guess next weeks charts will be the real tell !
Got a day 1 Switch here .. battery is shot and the case is crumbling , much like this article describes ! If there was a performance improvement I would have very temtped however having a Steam Deck preordered ( and yet to pay for ) I couldn't justify the upgrade just for the screen Looks lovely tho
@Noisy_neighbour I dunno, the yearly releases of the same rehashed sports games ( at full price ) which are laden with microtransactions is still enough to make me hate them
@Ludovsky "Something tell me it won't take long until that chip make it into the production line for the Lite as well however." From what this article states it seems that the Lite already has this new chipset " Mariko" my man
As someone who is on the fence about buying this game I want to hear any legitimate criticism of the game ! There does seem to be alot of whining tho ...
@SLIGEACH_EIRE “ Could it be that they are taking their time going through the game thoroughly “ You keep making these assumptions to back up your negativity when in reality we have no idea what the reason is.... stop suggesting otherwise for your own narrative.
I actually have had the game since it became available and In my opinion the time the reviewer spent on it is more than enough to review it. The game is simply a rehash of FIFA 16, to an existing FIFA player this is not something which requires an extensive play through to provide a good analysis on. After breaking down how the game plays there isn’t much else to report on other than the modes available ... this isn’t an RPG.
These are things anyone who has played the game would kn... oh wait .... never mind, I live in a weird world where people play games they criticise reviews for
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Your attitude really stinks, the reviewer has clearly told you what measures he took to review the game. If you have criticism of the process he took then just come out and be constructive about it rather than cheap backhanded comments and childish posting of the ratings/timings of other reviews
Really considering picking this up, I suffer from the left joy con connectivity issues so unlikely to use them in "motion" mode , can I ask how many of you all are just using the controller / pro controller input ?
@TJM "@SLIGEACH_EIRE I don't think it's the validity he's concerned with, rather the instant, incessant, negative tone. You say it's your opinion - sure - but it sounds like you're on autopilot" This, ...THIS
I ordered both colours as I couldnt make up my mind at the time what I wanted ( decided on Neon ) So I now have a spare Launch Day preorder Grey console from Amazon.
I don't want to scalp it on ebay ( doesn't seem to be a huge market for it anyway ) So I guess I'll cancel it, but it seems a waste when all you guys are having these issues and missing out
Oh man, I personally think the Vita was the best console to play Hotline Miami on, the mechanics really suited the console + dat screen.
Really high hopes for this to see if it translates well to Switch in the same way
Completely off topic but I'm in a Friday mood .... am I the only person who loves playing MH4 Ultimate / Generations online co-op absolutely hammered ?
@Bunkerneath If it stays that price I'll give my spare ones away for free. Actually no, tell you what , as people have already stated £5, i will pick 2 people nearer the time , ask they make a £5 donation to a charity of their choosing ( and prove it ) to get the codes
@Shellcore Yup, at £20 it would have been an instant purchase, even at £30 I would have been tempted on a good day but £50 is crazy unless there is some really deep story/single player I'm not aware of ?
Great ! Although it does have me worrying about how many games I'm going to be able to fit on the SD card, I prefer digital and not to carry the game cards with me everywhere
@thehappyjack Reread it all ( and applied the time difference the right direction this time ) The different amount of events/streams happening got me confused .... Look guys I just want my switch ...I WANT MY SWITCH
.... I woke up at 4am this morning (UK) to see the presentation :/ , if anyone needs me I'll be at the coffee machine wondering what I'm doing with my life
Realistically I am going to be buying the switch regardless of price point and pre release hype ( fanboi detected )
If i can get a good range of Nintendo 1st party games and they court the Indies properly ... I'd love well supported Nintendo/Indie console... like Vita on steriods
Like many here, this list just made me realise I didn't purchase any of 2016's Wii u releases ..... The previous year I had bought pretty much all major games.
@HSuzumiyaVI " @rjejr its rumoured that X2 will be powerful and potentially GTX 980 level"
Yeah, finding that hard to believe really.... Don't get me wrong I really hope it is but cramming the power of one of last years/seasons top GPU's into a handheld seems like wishful thinking.
