Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Wins Another 'Game Of The Year' Award

siavm

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.

Re: The Game Awards GOTY For 2023 Is Baldur's Gate 3

siavm

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.

Re: Sega Appears To Be Teasing A Game Awards Surprise

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.

Re: Talking Point: Does Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Need A Full Remake?

siavm

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.

Re: Saints Row & Red Faction Developer Volition Shuts Down After 30 Years

siavm

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.

Re: Poll: Will There Be A June 2023 Nintendo Direct?

siavm

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.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Nintendo Treehouse Livestream Announced

siavm

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.

Re: Nintendo, Sony And Xbox Reportedly Skipping E3 2023

siavm

Without the big three it is just E. I know it’s for the three days but it has not been three days since 2019. Even then it was losing relevance. Looks like I will be watching a Nintendo direct and whatever copycat style sony and Microsoft have cooked up around that time.

Re: This Latest Switch 'Rival' From Razer Launches At The End Of The Month

siavm

A lot of those windows, linux, and android powered devices are more powerful than the switch yet none will have the sales of the thing they are copying. Especially with so many hitting the market at the same time. They are fighting for a niche audience that will probably be grow smaller when a more powerful successor to the switch is announced this year or next.

Re: Sonic Frontiers Leaks Surface Online Ahead Of Next Week's Launch

siavm

Spoilers for a sonic game? Like what the story? Or that he is going to get a power up that makes him run faster? Sonic adventure 1 and 2 are the only ones with a story I cared somewhat about. Past that they could spoil the whole game. I just want to know does it finally play like a dream in 3d.

Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?

siavm

If she doesn’t like the money that is $1000 a day she should go to another field. Or have tried to get other voice acting other than Bayonetta. Now she burned her only voice acting bridge cause she thinks she is worth more than getting other VO work. I will buy this game and support the hundreds of people that made this possible. After 8 years nothing will stop me from buying this.

Re: UK Charts: NieR:Automata And No Man's Sky Switch Ports Make Decent Debut

siavm

@LillianC14 they remastered it for ps5 and series x/s. Until gta 6 is ready for its proper reveal and release a year after that they will be keeping gta 5 online going. Crazy that this thing almost failed when it came on 360 and ps3. I am talking about the online part cause that thing was a mess the first few months.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Executive Director Teases Series' Future

siavm

I hope they make an X sequel. I just can not get over that ending. The first 2 xenoblade games have endings I can be ok with if no sequel was made. But X has a question it does answer in it and it gets another big question and hopes your good with it. I am not. And the gameplay in that one is crazy good. Especially when you get all the mech options.

So I hope a sequel to x comes on Nintendo’s next system. It doesn’t have to be the next big game they make but it should come after that one.

Re: Hideki Kamiya: Nintendo Hasn't Ever Asked Platinum To Cover Up Bayonetta

siavm

It’s optional so I don’t care. But luckily sony is not flipping the bill. That would be the only option and they would probably censor other things about the game too.

Really weird how sony and Nintendo flipped positions on things. Nintendo is now leading in hardware sales and the eshop has a range of games that go to all tastes. And they let publishers and developers put pretty much put whatever out as long as it is not adult on eshop.

Sony is censoring games for adults left and right on its system. How are they going to let a horror game for adults get censored? Yet last of us 2 has you doing worse things. Sony is just odd.

Re: Talking Point: As Switch Hardware Sales Slow, How Long Can Nintendo Delay 'Switch 2'?

siavm

With a chip shortage and increased manufacturing switch is going to stay on the market a year or two longer than they wanted. Cause if they say the chip shortage stops in 2024 a late release that year or earlier 2025 is when Nintendo will release it.

And even though not the same the steam deck is not keeping up with demand. I ordered mine last year on the day preorders went live and I am not getting mine until July at the earliest. And if Nintendo is going to make another handheld console hybrid that can be 4K on the tv they are going to need more current parts that will set them back. They like to have consoles with profit at launch so pushing back until they can do that makes me think they will settle for the current switch for at least 2 more years.

Re: Random: Please Don't Drop Your Switch, Says Nintendo

siavm

Sad Nintendo doesn’t make Superman systems anymore. Cause I remember this video of someone doing a drop test on GameCube, ps2, and Xbox. They did four different drops that I think went to 20 feet and the GameCube survived and still worked.

Re: Talking Point: Should The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Library Expand Faster?

siavm

It will come when it comes. No point in adding to negativity and the I have to have it now culture. I grow up with patience. And in my 30s these last two years that is what gets me through. Not going fast to something but letting it play out how it will play out. The games will come you just have to wait. Or just buy a used n64 and games from a game shop or online place that has old games. And get a crt tv and just play them. It will be way more expensive but you can play them sooner if you really need the old game fix.

Re: Nintendo Switch Just Had Its Biggest Sales Week Ever In The UK

siavm

Who would have thought switch is holding its own still against a new gen. But there are a whole bunch of factors why it is succeeding. Including low stock of new gen cause if the pandemic. But soon Nintendo will have a 100 million selling system and still be putting out games like we are in year three next year.

This is the farthest thing from the doom felt in 2017 when people still had doubts.

Re: Teardown Suggests The Switch OLED Dock Is 4K 60fps-Ready And 'Future Proof'

siavm

All the recent usb c docks are 4K ready. It uses the new usb c standards today. Stop reading into this as switch pro. The switch successor, switch 2 or whatever it is called is where these rumors are probably for. Plus thanks to last year’s record sales and Covid that system is probably a year off now. So 2023 is the year they announce it and maybe even release it.
