Endless Ocean

The whole junction your GFs never made any sense at all, what a mess

@Not_Soos Remember the Spyro reboots? A New Begining, Dawn of the Dragon, Eternal Night? These are actual Spyro games right? they sold better on Gamecube and Wii. Look up the numbers. I also completely disagree, Skylanders was a direct continuation of Spyro, it just outgrew Spyro.

@Not_Soos Spyro will definitely outsell the PS4 version, did you never see the sales numbers for Skylanders? that started as a Spyro game

If I could go through just one day without seeing the disturbing naked Link article at the bottom of my game news it would be nice

@BanjoPickles exactly! Play Cabela’s on switch and you’d see just how pointless motion controls would be without having a sensor bar

Almost through the game and never noticed it. Hard to imagine that someone would be bothered with it

@jswhitfield8 I agree, I’ll pass on this because I already have my favorites on virtual console, etc. the N64 games would have made this a must buy for me

I’m definitely getting it now but even $30 is a great price!

@PlayriseDigital Do you mean it will have 60 FPS? I can live with less shadows, lower resolution, etc but I just don’t like games with horrible frame rates (like below 30). The game sure looks fun!

@IceEarthGuard there is just something so wrong with the home menu music... if I hear it for long it worms it’s way into my brain and I’ll go to bed and close my eyes and still hear it! 😀

It’s better than the Wii home menu music. I still mute my TV every time I turn on my Wii until I have a game started. It may be the most annoying music ever created.

The big eyes make look better but the movie is going to be more realistic than the games and picture those big eyes blinking... wouldn’t look right at all.... the smaller eyes make sense

With the way things are going, it will be NES Ice Climbers for $7.99

You had me until you said “one button gameplay”... ugh... the Switch is not an iPhone

I hope it’s better than the name

The stripped down model will be called the Light Switch!

Ever notice how all game delays are in our best interest... it’s never “sorry but we got sidetracked and didn’t get it finished”... it’s always “we are going to do you a favor and give you a better game.. so be happy for the wait!’

Scores are kind of worthless when you guys rate games like Ys VIII as a 9, sure its a nice game but nowhere near the quality of Zelda, etc. I bought it and like it but it’s like playing a game from 15 years ago

@Velting I was wondering about that! Is this really it? Sure looks familiar

So what you are saying is that these 50 mini games aren’t up to the quality of games in Mario Party? wow, I love Mario Party but these mini games are so much more

I trusted this score and bought it. There is no way this deserves a 9, it’s a 6 at best. Loading every 50 feet you walk, GameCube-like graphics, nothing about it is close to a 9.

@MasterJay you don’t have Superchargers? Why? That game is great!

City Connection arcade game? Kind of lame... I wish Hanster would go after some of the true arcade classics, how about the Cruisn’ series? Tron?

Well??? Is it still an IAP game?

My Switch is fine and I always fully power down the system. Maybe you should ask people that as well?

Desperate for news? How is this even worth mentioning?

I agree that digital sucks... I lost hundreds of dollars worth of stuff on my iPad when I updated to IOS 11 (IOS 11 did away with all 32 bit compatibility)... if they would have been physical copies I could have at least sold them

@chiptoon have you not been to Fye lately? There is still new vinyl in several different stores

@bluedogrulez it didn’t happen with music yet, there are CDs everywhere

@HipsterDashie
No Spyro announcement was the biggest disappointment of the day for me! That’s crazy! Skylanders sold much better on Nintendo consoles and now I doubt we will get Spyro

@electrolite77
I think you misunderstand... I think all games should be retail, I prefer that. I will always buy retail over digital. My point is that if a developer will not put a fully playable game on the retail disc then don't mislead people by offering the game as retail because they are not getting a usable product. If you can't give me a functioning game on the disc then don't bother, I don't want the illusion of owning a game that relies on the download being available.

@electrolite77
Let them? I have no problem with people buying it at retail, I prefer retail but I am sure that nobody gets home, pops the game in and says "yay! it's incomplete and I have to download 20 more GB!"

What I'm saying is that if developers cannot include the full game then only let them sell as download only. Nintendo needs to set that rule. Those developers are making a huge mess out of gaming. Lets say you buy a used game 8 years from now... how would you even know if the other half of the game is still available? with things going the way they are... people will have no choice but to hack the Switch to play games in the future once Nintendo shuts down the servers. Imagine if all the NES and SNES games were sold with only half the content and people wanted to play them today.

Also... I'm not attacking developers or publishers. I have a developer license and have a game currently for sale. This is about doing the right thing and not including a fully playable game on the retail card is just bad.

@kobashi100
They should not be allowed to sell something incomplete. If they aren't going to provide the entire game at retail then don't sell the game at retail, it's that simple.

Anything other than that is misleading and stupid. I don't care if there is small text somewhere on the box saying... 'hey we are too cheap to provide the entire game so go download it".

@kobashi100 @AlbertXi
I agree with AlbertXi, I know this game is huge but would it be okay if lets say... all developers decided it was okay to go with an 8 GB SD card and expect the player to download the rest of the game? no! if you are selling a game at retail then the entire game should be present and in the package at time of purchase!

It’s a great game but I’m disappointed that the steering is digital even when using the analog stick, it makes me think it’s a mobile port

@GrailUK
Exactly! and in a few years the PS4 is going to be slow compared to new systems. That cycle will never end! get over the details and just have fun with the current games because the resolution/framerate obsessed people will believe that everything sucks in a few years.

is the game mostly cut scenes? its kind of useless to compare those

@BornInNorway81 Seriously? thats nuts! I’ve played Burnout Paradise for years on PC without analog triggers and it plays perfectly! with this type of game you benefit from being able to go between full and zero acceleration quicker... do you have a need to drive slower? I have yet to play any racing game that made me wish I had analog triggers, they were useless on Gamecube.
