Why is it so hard for gaming companies to release their soundtracks on Spotify/Apple for streaming? I don't want to spend 60$ on every game's soundtrack and rip the cd...
Idc what team cherry says, the whole April 2nd thing is way too convincing. I'm thinking they broke a direct nda and they had to cover it up, but it will be there fs.
@Dev1024 To be honest, while Nintendo is known for gimmicky consoles, is there anything we actually need past an improved switch?
You're welcome to disagree, but it seems silly to have a major shakeup like that when they struck gold with the original switch. The fact that it sold 150m units probably that they aren't too interested in branching out anyway.
If they were to make a new gimmick, hypothetically, what would you like to see? Personally, I loved the 3ds/wii u dual screens and would be cool to have that back
Didn’t play my switch as much as my PC this year (‘only’ 200 hours on switch) but, while it didn’t show up on my review, Hollow Knight also clicked for me at the end of November and I have played SO MUCH of it. Just got what I think is the true ending and can’t recommend it enough.
But… my most played game is Overwatch with 49 hours. Oops!
Just finishing up Hollow Knight (I'm around 90% right now on my completion) and was looking at this to fill the hole in my time that will open up when I finish it, so I may very well end up buying this. If this isn't overpriced (like a lot of physical indies are, understandably) I'll probably go for it.
I think (Nintendo's "private idaho" aside) that consoles will continue to exist simply because they are cheaper, more convenient, and more secure than PCs. Even though exclusives are nearly a lost art (thankfully), these factors just make a console a much more reasonable purchase in a lot of situations.
Personally, I love my PC and Switch and will probably never own a 'real' console lol
Enjoying the new season so far (on PC, switch is not a super pleasant experience for this game lol). Visually, it looks super pleasing, though the high damage and speed of weapons means fights will end in a blink. As someone who constantly does this to no emote signs, i’m glad i saw the articles before actually doing it here.
Downloaded it when they announced the shutdown but I don’t think I like it enough to buy the complete version. But this is how you shut down a mobile game.
Pokemon Duel should have taken notes!!! (Not that I’m salty or anything)
Level 42 player While it is certainly a unique way to collect data for their AI (which I have no problem with this collection system, people know they are taking pictures for Niantic to ‘improve their services’), the rewards for scan quests are super bad. Like, 10 pokeballs or some potions. Not worth all the trouble of taking pictures for niantic. I have a scan quest in my inventory that I got in march of last year during a trip and kept it because it looks cool and don’t have to worry about getting any more scan quests lol
Looking forward to it. Then again, I should beat the remaster. Got stuck in some pirate area that is apparently one of the hardest parts in the game and kinda just gave up.
But let’s be real, there’s no chance this beats gta6 at the game awards, some people have been waiting far too long for that to happen
Well boys, we did it. Pokemon fans harassing switch online is no more! Surely this is what they meant when they said they wanted gameboy Pokemon games right!
Never played a Donkey Konga game but I love watching modders do goofy things like this. Breathing new life into already great games is what it’s all about!
@rjejr
I doubt they will get rid of reload. They just gave it that big map update, and it requires far less people than a normal game. They’ll probably start putting items from chapter 2 into reload and leave the OG map to chapter 1 things, if i had to guess
At least, that’s what I hope they do because I like the fast paced gameplay of reload over battle royale on occasion XD
Been on a fortnite stint with my friends lately, and we loved the OG season (what really reeled me back in to the game). Love to see this becoming a permanent mode, but curious to see how it affects the player counts in the other modes.
I really dislike how the newer mythic weapons and bosses give just a few players a huge advantage, so I am very glad to have this original, more fair balancing back to enjoy
I downloaded the update last night after seeing an article about this, and yes, my fedora cat caused a solid second of freezing every few seconds. Unfortunate, but really funny.
I’ve already had two new night events and my main file was in winter, so I’ve seen new npc designs and content in my 3 days of goofing around. It’s a great update so far!
@sanderev My valid and legal reason is dumping my legally purchased games with my legally modified switch to run with mods and improved performance on my PC…
