Re: Crytek Reveals Docked And Handheld Resolutions For Crysis Remastered On Switch

ss213

@beazlen1 I said that if a couple years ago we were ok with playing 3ds games (and we could enjoy them), then playing 3ds graphics on an HD screen is an improvement and we can also enjoy them.
That said, you could still play mario land on an old game boy (with no screen light) and still enjoy the game. However, if Nintendo launched a new handheld with game boy graphics and a screen with no light, people would call it unplayable (in this day and age).

Graphically detailed games are not design to be viewed blurry. Part of the deitaled graphics are made to contribute to the inmmersive experience. Keeping details but making them blurry goes against the reason for which "details" were included in the original game, making them counter productive to the point of damaging the experience.

Yeah, you could argue that everything is playable independently of the image quality as long as there is no lag, but when you have become used to a minimum quality, than everything below that qualifies as unplayable.

Have you tried going back to watch movies on a 480i TV?? Yeah you can, but independently of the quality of the content of movie you could argue that under that quality they are unwachable (like 360p videos on youtube).

Re: Crytek Reveals Docked And Handheld Resolutions For Crysis Remastered On Switch

That handheld resolution sucks. I am tired of ports that blurry games on handheld mode. Witcher 3 is just unplayable in handheld (even with the update). A good port should reduce detail quality in order to reduce blurryness and increase sharpness. YS has many ups and downs, but when it goes all blurry it damages the gaming experience. Oninaki is just contantly blurry.
These ports that have priorized detail over "non blurryness" feel like playing a 3DS in an HD screen. And yeah, if a couple years ago we were only able play games in a blurry non HD 3ds screen then it's an improvement, and games are still fun and playable.... But come on, reducing detail in order to not "hurt" are eyes should be mandatory for ports.

Bulletstorm for example simply looks amazing on handheld.

Re: Back In 1979, Nintendo's President Said Everyone Should Copy Each Other's Ideas

ss213

I think he refers more to the copy of genere. All fixed shooters of the time resemble space invaders. All posterior side scrolling shmups resemble each other. All platforming genere games in which a character moves to the right and jumps while the screen scrolls are copies of the genera that SMB founded.

He simply is saying that, if say campcon invents a 1 vs 1 2d fighting game, then the rest of the companies should be free to copy that concept, a 1 vs 1 2d fighting game (as a genera of games).

(In that sense a copy is far away from a clone)

Re: Frustrated Super Smash Bros. Fans Get #FixUltimateOnline Trending On Social Media

ss213

Well... Even if they fix it so there is only 100 ms input delay, Smash would still be unplayable. It requires near perfect precision if you wanna play competitive.
Even if you play local with 2 consoles you get lag sometimes. Using the gamecube controller with the 8bitdo wireless adapter also gives u enougj input lag to put you in a disatvantage. What's more, playing with the oficial gamecube adapter also creates some input lag. Try to do a tornado quickly pressing left right left right... and u will see that with the gamecube controllers it lacks precision. You can then try with the pro controller and you will notice the difference.

So if the input lag is even noticeable with the GC controllers, dont expect a competitive online.

Re: The Top Ten Best-Selling Games For Wii U, 3DS, Wii And DS (As Of March 2020)

ss213

Lets face it. Nintendo wont re-release all those games in the Switch even if they sold well. Why? Simple, Nintendo has learned that that when launching a console it needs tons of games, and going throgh the back catalog makes it easier than developing games from scratch. Since the Wii U sold poorly, they could still re-realease most of those games on the Switch because many people had not played them yet. However since the switch has sold so much it would not make to much since to re release Switch games in their next gen console. Only a small percentage of people would double dip. Therefore, some old gems have their re releases reserved for their next gen console.

Re: Random: Switch Fans React To EA's Partnership With Google Stadia

ss213

The real reason why we all hate stadia has nothing to do with the service. It has more to do with their claim that it would be "the end of consoles". All console owners are unified against stadia because of that claim. "You want to end what we love, well then get ready for our hate".
Very bad marketing in order to atract console owners....

Geforce now, wich is almost the same thing, is much more loved, simply because they did not "attack" consoles.

Re: UK News Outlet Calls Animal Crossing's Nature Day "A Farce", Says It "Teaches Kids Toxic Lessons"

ss213

Never felt an interest for Animal Crossing. It does look like a boring pointless game, but then again, I dont like any sim games, so I wouldnt know how good it is compared to other games of the same genere.

That said, there are good objetive reasons to hate animal crossing, and it has nothing to do with nature. It is a lot more simple: Nintendo could be investing their time and money in more interesting games xD

Re: Nintendo "Unwilling" To Confirm If 88-Year-Old Grandma Has Her Own Character In Animal Crossing

ss213

There are a lot of people who enjoy this kind of news (@PlaybunnyLucy for example).
He is deffending that he likes this kind of articles. Nintendo fans are a huge fanbae with very different people. I do agree that this isnt news and it is just a story. However, telling people to not feel resented at comments that ask for censorship of "stories" that they like to read about (and are nintendo related) just shows a bit of hipocresy. You guys can feel resenment at the authors (the ones that make this site possible) but he cant feel resenment at you?? Come on.... Or worse... Telling him that he should stop visiting the site if he dorsnt like the comments... Well... Then you shouldn visit the site if you dont like the articles. It just doesnt seem fair.

If you dont think an article isnt worth reading then dont read it. It's super simple.

My only comlplain here is when NL uses clickbait titles, which make you read articles you are not interested in.

Other than that, just calm down.

Re: Konami's Cowboy Classic Sunset Riders Is Galloping To Switch Soon

ss213

@Angelic_Lapras_King I get your point, and I can agree with it to some degree, although I see it more as a walk n gun than a beat em up, so it doesn really give me the spice that I look for when I feel like playing a 2d or 2.5d beat em up. I've tried some of the indie beat em ups on the switch, and they feel like they are missing something that made the retro ones so addictive. That's why whenever a listen that publishers are bringing back their retro catalog I get pumped for beat em ups (because having them on the go makes them even more playable).

PD: I am very hyped and at the same time afraid for streets of rage 4. I really hope Sega gets it right (algthough I dont really like the art of the game) and the game sets the new standard for modern "classik" beat em ups.

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?

ss213

I too would prefer a beter service.... But with the family plan I am only paying about 10 bucks per year and aside from online gaming, I get about 50 retro games.

I paid 10 bucks only for Super Mario World on the Wii U (same on wii and on 3ds).

So 10 bucks a year for all those games (compared to what the cost was last gen) is an awesome deal

Edit: in addition, last gen I had to pay 20 bucks to have Super Marii Wolrd on the go (3ds) and on tv (wii u)... Whereas this gen I pay 10 a year and I can play all those games on the go and on tv

Re: Hideki Kamiya Explains Why The Wonderful 101 Needed To Be Remastered

ss213

The exact same thing happened to Devil's Third and nobody is making a campaing for it.

I would be a thousand times more exited about a Devils Third port.

I did not like Wonderful 101. I do think it's a nich game. I was hard for me to understand the gameplay and enjoy it. I sold it after barely playing 2 hours.

But i am still glad for the port if that is what gamers want.

Re: Professional Fortnite Player Gets Banned For Life After Uploading Videos Of Himself Cheating

ss213

He was just thinking about how entertaining the videos would be for his viewers... To bad he didnt think how sh*tty he was making the game to those who were playing with him...

He's logic implies that commiting crimes and recording them is ok if that is entertaining for online viwers...

I still think a life ban is excesive though... It would be better to ban him a few months abd them force him to use a prefix in his nick such as "I am a sh*tty cheater".

Re: Magical 2D Platformer Enchanted Portals Accused Of Being A Cuphead Clone

ss213

This is as much as a clone as Burning fight is a clone to Final Fight... well here at least they changed the theme.

It's is a run n gun with old cartoon visuals and instrumental music sounds. I havnt played Cuphed so I cant tell if the levels or bosses are copies. However, I have never played cuphead because although i liked the art I did not like the theme. So I am more likely to try this new game than Cuphead.

All that said... The feel and the gameplay are all that really matters. If the art, music, and genere are the same as Cuphead but the feel is better... Then it is no clone, it is just a progress on the genere. And if the gameplay i worse... Than its just a lazy copy.

At the end what makes a game a game is its gameplay.

Re: Review: Asphalt 9: Legends - Likeable Burnout-Style Racing Action, If You Play The Right Way

ss213

I tried it yesterday on handheld. The graphics do look good but the game design (menus, upgrades, advancing) is too built around microtransactions. The gameplay is not bad, but dosn't feel super great either. It makes me want to go back to the 3ds to play Ridge Racer. Although I do not like the menus in GRID autosport either (and not haivng a car that can be personalizad), I still have much more fun with it.

It is at least worth they try if you like arcade racers.
