I think the only games Microsoft have made recently that I loved were the Ori. I used to own all 3 consoles but now I can get away with just Nintendo (Zelda, Pokemon) and Sony (last of us, GOW).

It seems Microsoft can’t make quality games anymore. I’m still waiting on my next “Good” Fable, which I guarantee will be exclusive.

Also why is there a 10 year limit on COD for Nintendo?

Using Nintendo’s store would be a terrible idea. I love Nintendo but their online store is terrible when it comes to in demand content. I never want to go through the Tears of the Kingdom collector’s edition pain again.

@Dom_31 - seems like this needs correcting then

“you have a higher chance of encountering a shiny version of the new Ghost-type Pokémon.”

@ZeldaNX sames. Usually I’m excited for Pokemon but I’ve not even bothered to renew home to transfer over Violet mons.

Was in the Osaka Nintendo store a week back and they had loads of only this Amiibo.

Thanks very much. Was able to order a set

The beauty of Splatoon is the support it gets as well. They continue to balance and add content to it for years.

Take Harvestella for example. Their attempt at breaking into farming sims. I like it, it’s a good game, but it still feels like it needs a few patches to fix some of its rough around the edges issues but updates stopped ages ago.

@KryptoniteKrunch - as immature as i feel for writing this it defo feels like they chose a curling on off face for Ryu

Switchup saying the same kind of thing. Gutted as was looking forward to this game.

They wouldn’t even be able to steal a copy here now. I’ve seen quite a few shops sold out this past week

Can we not just leave alone for a bit? Nintendo stopped patching BOTW ages ago so we have lots of cool glitches we can still do. We’ll end up with none left if we keep it up.

I don’t think they need a rival right now what they need is a breather. They’ve taken a major step forward. They’ve ventured into open world and now just need to nail a new amazing story and build upon the existing world. Like TOTK feels more like and upgrade to BOTW and is still amazing.

I haven’t played many competitors other than Digimon but key missing elements are no carrying monsters between new games, names of the monsters tend to be poor and I know the names of most of the Pokemon so don’t want to learn loads of new ones for a new franchise

I honestly saw Xenoblade 2 as a Waifu Pokemon game. I don’t need a load of new monsters. Give me 15 or so, objectives to power them up, and some background story to build a connection with the mons and I’d be happy.

@UltimateOtaku91 - that’s a good thing. Genshin was a great game if you take all the f2p rubbish out of it.

I fear this is going to be exactly Genshin. A unique experience makes me think f2p. Hope I’m wrong

Game are renowned for bad packaging. Hopefully they don’t arrive damaged

Even their announcement system is buggy. Gutted. Just want to get my shiny mons in home

Off to Japan next week. Would love to pick this up. Last time I was there I got Dragon Quest eye drops

@chiefeagle02 - On top of what you mentioned the latest season has been terrible. None of the events have caught my interest so far.

For me poor frame rates in S&V are wayyyyyyy better than what I can only assume was 2 fps in the abandoned factory in Xenoblade 2.

@WillQuan
Is it necessary to start name calling because people haven’t had the same experience as you.

I’ve had no major issues. Do I get bad frame rates? Yes in 2 areas. The lake and the forest area where there is paint on the trees. It’s been said many times on YouTube that closing out your game after each sessions reduces the number of issues.

I’ve enjoyed my experience mostly. I would have liked some Arecus QOL improvements but it’s been a very good game for me.

I thought the same thing. Maybe it’s another Cosmog type legendary.

Might even be like Zygarde. Those typing symbols must mean something

Saw it yesterday and booked to watch again on Sunday. Loved the Sonic movies and loved this movie.

I hope that bigwigs observe that these films are successful because of the effort they put into wanting to make a good movie for the fans. Please no more video game adaptions like Assassins creed.

@Pally356 - Austin John Plays recently made a video detailing how to make the Mew able to transfer

@EriXz - I’d have to agree. I can’t recall any of the freaky glitches I’ve seen elsewhere in my play through. I close out my game after each session so maybe that’s helping.

What bugs me is the raids. I actually think they got worse with the patches. I don’t know if it’s always done this but my health bar disappears regularly during a raid which is a pain when you’re doing 7 star and needing to mange your health effectively.

Also it’s annoying that there is a solution of Pokemon Home to protect our valuable mons we don’t want to loose from something like a corrupt save which is still being held back / updated to work with the new game

@Jeronan - I have mates bought the dlc the day it was listed at full price.

I’ll see how things go and buy it cheap on shopto or somewhere offering discount.

Shame no artbook this time. Looks like they've given Game exclusivity again in the uk. My Rune Factory 5 came crushed due to their poor packaging of the product

All I wanted was more info on S/V 1.2 update which is supposed to be here in the next 2 days. The event mons looked good though. Finally some new stuff for the Tera raids.

Glad to see the Tera raids getting some love. The amount of times I’ve thought I won for health to get added again and I loose.

Shiny sparkle would be nice. It’s so rewarding in Arceus when you get the sparkle and sound effect.

Still a day 1 purchase for me. Not all of us care about fps. Sounds like it will run twice as well as Pokémon (also a great game regardless of performance)

Added functionality. Please let it be some kind of shiny alert. Some are really painful to try and spot.

Another thing that helps is if the ai brings a Pokémon that has intimidate. With the Slowbro setup Cinderace can barely do any damage to you with 3 iron defences In play.

I wouldn’t worry about missing out. They’ll recycle events at some point or make things available in paid dlc like they did with Sw/Sh. Look how easy it was to get the special gmax Pokémon with the dlc.

Hopefully Greninja will get some 7* love.

First game to make me cry since FF7. I got bored early game but persisted and wow does the story and gameplay really take off

Ideally you’d like to wait till the game gets some polish but I believe there are some event raids being made available soon.

From what I have seen performance is terrible. There was a scene of kids sat swinging their legs and each leg stuttered.

Another example is walking down the street I would say they only walk smooth up to 15ft in game.

I’ve only seen worse performance in a battle in xenoblade 2 which dropped to maybe 3 fps

Usually I don’t care about fps but this is so obvious it becomes a distraction.

I have seen some positives in it though for other aspects so still looking forward to its release

Thanks for the spoiler

The fact you’ve created this poll you realise now that your score was way off base and the people are correcting it for you

Think the reviewer was a bit harsh. Does it run as good as a home base console with better specs? No.

Can I play Sonic Frontiers on my PS5 while on the train to work? No

Only seen minor issues in my play through so far and like mentioned earlier it’s usually user error for me like tapping the wrong button for homing

Thing is the thing I like least about the game is Sonic’s voice, it’s way too deep. The game itself is really good. Best Sonic game I’ve played since adventures

Makes no sense releasing a new model. I’ve only just managed to get a PS5 thanks to Scalpers. Too much chaos at the mo to sort the supply chain.

I’m enjoying this more than Rune Factory 5. I feel like it’s farming is just right.

Voice acting. Okay so what happens when they add it and you all complain like with Rex in XB2. At least without I can choose how I want them to sound.

Not had performance issue yet and I’m about 15 hours in now.

The demo was a bit pants and they have fixed some issues like the fishing.

My only complaint is the customisation at the start. They both look the same except for the legs.

I’ll be playing this for a while now

Uk based and lost interest in Xbox when Fable disappeared. Always own each Nintendo and Sony console though for the exclusives.

I’ve never skipped a Pokemon game. Usually preorder as soon as I can. I have no interest in this game and am defo skipping

@Fight_Teza_Fight using the gym isn’t advised past Rookie. It’s best to find Digimon you can farm stats from.

Excited for this. Love it on the PS4, hopefully that will be the basis for the port as it had QOL improvements.

The switch is looking like causing its own cost of living crisis for me in 2023. Zelda and Suikoden among others

You’ve got to laugh at this. We are essentially causing a ddos on nintendos store by wanting to buy a product. Site down again.

Wonder how much this costs in lost sales of other products

This is looking good. Must keep expectations in check but I’m failing miserably.

@FX102A I get you’re annoyed but then you’re okay with becoming part of the problem.

Xenoblade 2 is my fave game of all time and would love the collectors edition but I stand firm on not encouraging the scalpers that is is profitable for them.

I had hoped of finally being able to get a Xenoblade collectors item when it was finally released but I knew from the start I’d miss out and set my expectations for that.

@ketrac - this is the first gen I’m skipping. After how much fun Arecus was for me I’m not interest in going back to more same old same old. This just looks like Sword and Shield V2.

I’ll probably buy Sonic Frontiers instead

Just seems like another Nintendolife attempt at band wagon clikbaiting

The only way this year could get any better is if a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake was announced. Has been an excellent year for gaming surprises.
