With game sizes this big I wish they went with 512 instead. But they probably would have made the console $499. I wish the express sd cards were cheaper. And with the way my president is using tariffs these cards probably won’t drop in price for a while here. But I still got one.
Everyone is down on these cause the game is not on the card but downloading something and installing games is the norm now. I can’t play my physical ps5 games until they download on the console and download patches. So I won’t have a problem with these games even if I will have to delete stuff from time to time. The days of physical media are starting to draw to a close. Nintendo pretty much were the last keepers of it but times change.
This is something like when I use a ps4 disc to play some of the ps5 versions of games I upgraded to. I downloaded the game but I still need the disc to verify I own it. It is not the best but it sounds better than getting a code that is stuck to one system. The downside is you have to download the game.
I may just get one game like this and see how it goes. I will not do this for many but it is what it is. Hopefully they try to get game sizes smaller. Size is going to go fast for this one. And those express cards are expensive. I hope they go down in price soon.
I was ok with the price of the system (I don’t know now though with the tariffs that will raise it to uncomfortable levels here the the US). But the game prices I am less ok with. I just got used to $70 games. $80 is too much. But luckily they have Mario kart come with the system even if it is a download code.
It will be rough for them though. Hopefully they can do something to bring us back to when we were just enjoying the reveal.
The appeal of Japanese games my whole life is that they feel different from western games or games made in the US. Like during the 360 era it seemed some Japanese studios tried to hard to appeal to western gamers. It resulted in a lot of bland games that had no heart. Nintendo though even when they try to appeal to as many people as possible they still like they are making very Japanese games. That is what has been making me get every Nintendo system since I got my first one an n64 on Christmas Day. Nintendo is still holding the line for Japan.
It has no release date outside of sometime this year and it is not coming out before the direct. So being announced for switch 2 is a given now. Even last year it seemed like this is also coming to switch 2 with the vague 2025 and how clean the trailer looked. Can’t wait for next month.
This year is too weird. Never thought I would hear that name again. Loved a lot of the games I played with them. Here is hoping they don’t go under again in the next few years. Cause even going small is not guaranteed now.
I am getting one this year day one so I don’t really care. I do have a oled switch and it is good but we need a more powerful system. And hopefully it works good with today’s tv. And just like with switch I may still get an oled down the line when it is available.
Looks like they only want to acknowledge the games were well received or were financial successes. Low sale games and bad ones helped them too. But who knows why they did it. I hope it is not cause they are making themselves look good for a sale. But after the certain people they lost they may have to do it.
90s Rare was a force. Today’s rare hasn’t made a new game in 7 years. They announced something but it is probably too ambitious for where they are now. If the ori developers want to try they maybe able to make something but good luck with getting Microsoft to fund that. Even though hearing that Astro bot cost less and was developed in a few years Microsoft may finally see they need the game. Plus if they put on all the consoles and pc’s it is bound to sell something.
@VHSGREMLIN they didn’t delay anything. They said they would announce it before the end of the financial year. Anything else you heard is just unofficial things that people now take as facts. Like all the sites reporting on a January 16 reveal and nothing looks to be announcing today. Patience is so nonexistent now.
In Japan Nintendo is still leading the game. The pass off to switch 2 will just be so unfair to the other two consoles next year. But they have not much that appeals to Japan coming up. Maybe some ps5 games but even those will probably only be on top for a week and still in the top 10 for maybe three weeks.
I am hearing way too many rumors. Nintendo needs to clear our heads with the actual specs on the tech soon. Or the basic level info they will tell. Won’t get the real details until someone opens it up and looks inside after it is available next year.
Unless they are going to make two different sets of games this will not work. And even if they made games specifically for this Sony only will support it a year or two before abandoning it. And to get the kind of console quality games they want on the go would mean a very expensive handheld with terrible battery life. Microsoft and Sony just need to focus on consoles. Cause when they try new things it is not good. I suppose Microsoft can better gamble at this since they have been last for a while now. But Sony things to focus on games cause it is very dry now and psvr2 is doing bad and ps5 pro still doesn’t make sense.
If that new story content goes past that cliffhanger ending I am definitely getting this one again. That ending has been bugging me since I finished it on Wii U. I need answers and closure so bad for this game. Hopefully it delivers on that. And I it would be nice to play this game again.
I don’t care when they specifically announce anything. I just like the random surprise the random surprise that will come one day before the end of their financial year. So it could be this mouth or early next year. I have too many games to play I still have not beaten so I am good.
Back in my day game characters said nothing. And there was no cursing in E games. Sure link messed up ganondorfs face with his sword at the end of ocarina of time. And wind waker had link stabbed ganondorf in the head. But E games are wholesome. I did forget about that moon in majoras mask. That thing gave me nightmares at 12. Thanking about it now makes me wonder how that game didn’t get a T rating or the equivalent in other regions. That game had some messed up stuff in it. While always creeping me out. I do hope Nintendo remakes it though. That moon in HD on switch 2 would cause a new generation to question everything.
It is cool how this game is. A unique take on what tears did with its unique way to play how you like gameplay. And being able to go into the other world and have more traditional dungeons is good. And a unique take on the magic meter Link had in ocarina of time. But instead of doing magic Zelda turns into sword fighter like Link for as long as the meter had power.
I think I am going to like this game a lot. Especially when I have Zelda take a nap while echos beat that boss or other enemies.
I beat the first game 20 years ago as a teen. Now in my 30s I know I won’t be playing this game until well into my 40s. So maybe the ps6 will get it. But I know before that happens we will get like 10 to 20 more assassins creed games. Still can’t get how a big open world game gets this many games in a series. But beyond good and evil 2 is just a thing that maybe exist now that exist just to torture me. And how does it take three teams at Ubisoft to remake prince of Persia? That company makes no sense to me anymore.
Some were not expecting Metroid prime 4 but I knew it had to be talked about. And it has a release year now. And Zelda is finally the main character. That was way more games than I thought was coming. Looks like Nintendo wants switch to be the best selling console.
Baldur's Gate 3 is good so far for me. But I am playing it on ps5 and it definitely doesn’t feel like it was made for this system. Could have got it for my laptop but I like playing games on console more and just don’t get keyboard and mouse. Tears of the kingdom though was made for the console it was on. And it went beyond what I thought a sequel could be. The building of vehicles and mechs is crazy. Fuse is something else especially with arrows. The reverse power never gets old. And ascend is a good power that I kept forgetting I had. Luckily the shrines I went to kept making use it so I don’t forget as much now. The story that I liked. This game was just it.
I got the game a few weeks ago and it is ok to me. But I am not into d&d like that. And the way it plays is not completely clicking with me yet. I suppose the game journalists play d&d cause the average person is not going to get this game right away. And I am playing on ps5 so it adds another weird dimension to it. Tears of the kingdom just delivered for me. And it changed the game. But I suppose to each their own.
I hope it is a game from a series that is not sonic or yakuza or a game from atlus. I want to play something from the past reimagined today. But it is a good chance it is another sonic game that is still not the one that brings him back to the glory days some of us had with him in the 90s.
I hope they do a full remake. The resident evil games have been doing this great these last few years. Resident evil two probably did it best from what it was then to now but RE4 has an amazing one too. It stays true to the original but adds enough modernization that it was definitely worth playing again. I can think of a whole lot of areas that need to be updated in ocarina of time. So I hope If they do it they go all out.
Ocarina of time is probably the best one followed by twilight princess. But even those would need work. If they what Link to talk in the movie then it needs to pretty much be mostly an original take. And just have pieces of the franchise interwoven into it.
I didn’t think the game was too British. It wasn’t everything for everybody but I liked it. I liked getting out the ship. Just wish it had more flying parts.
I wish they would bring back this series. And make a new game. Not a weird remake of 64.
I suppose after mortal kombat they want to make sure it works right and doesn’t look too bad. The first two games should be ok. But knights sounds like it would be the most challenging.
So a company just keeps buying up companies like it has unlimited money but one bad deal changed all that. Now all the companies they bought will suffer from their mistakes. That sucks. Hopefully everyone can get work elsewhere.
Just shows that buying all the companies can’t be the plan. Hopefully Microsoft figures this out before they literally destroy the game industry.
Wii U played city pretty good. So the first two games should run ok. Knight is the one that will bring some problems. Hopefully they can make it work. Cause if they couldn’t Nintendo would not have them in the direct.
I just went on the eshop and saw Pikmin 4 was coming next month. I forgot about that one. So they will probably have a direct just for that game. Unless they are finally going to show the switch 2 that is probably all they will be showing.
Can articles about this stop. That are way more cool things that are legitimate in the game, like launching drones, that are not covered. Like share the actual cool things. Cause people play in different ways and miss things. And those are the things I want to see. Save this for when the news is slow on this game.
When you can make a crazy amount of vehicles why do you need a glitch for more fun? I just saw something release mini drones from a flying machine. I am trying to see how to do that. Not some item glitch.
They should do it like on Monday or Tuesday but whatever. The last time they did this it got everyone hyped for the last game. But after playing the last game that is pretty much all the hype you need. And that last trailer didn’t hurt.
I will probably skip this since i sadly won’t skip work and it will be 8pm for me. Which is when I am sleeping.
