Re: Team Cherry Explains Hollow Knight: Silksong's "Steep Difficulty"

theberrage

Yeah I’m not buying this explanation. The difficulty wasn’t thought out well. Don’t you love it when your cocoon gets locked in a boss room. That did not happen much in the first game. They usually placed it outside of the room.
The stupid cheap difficulty in this game paired with the stupidly placed benches break the whole exploration angle of the game.
I still love Team Cherry but silksong is definitely inferior to the first game. Never thought they’d be able to top that masterpiece. They got close with this one, but there is too much frustration with this game’s cheap and annoying “manufactured” difficulty along with a much slower progression of abilities. I’m starting to hate the game.

Re: Yooka-Replaylee Gets A Launch Date On Switch 2, Full Physical Release Confirmed

theberrage

@jfp Where did I say they owe me? I supported this game initially because I like these types of games. I ignored the reviews (which have been updated from the initial poorer reviews, also my fault for ignoring) and got burned.

I am a consumer in a comment section on a video game website. I am allowed to state that I will not be spending this kind of money on a rehash of a BAD game. They don’t owe me anything and I don’t owe them anything. That’s why I said I would “consider” downloading it for free.

Re: Nintendo Highlights Multiple Switch 2 And Switch Games Launching In August 2025

theberrage

I’m really hoping the direct reveals some good surprises. I know many have praised Switch 2’s launch, but I found it just decent. Since then it has really fizzled and I am back to playing the same stuff I was playing on the switch.
I liked that they released Strikers on NSO. But Mario Paint? Yikes, that is good advertisement for a bad mouse.
As one who purchased the switch 2 on day 1, I’m not regretting it. But I was hoping for some more of those great Nintendo surprises by now.

Re: Nintendo's President Apologises For Not Being Able To Meet Switch 2 Demand

Ok got it so if I play switch 2 only on my TV you have determined that I must believe a cloud is an airplane . 😂 I think you need to take a step out of the nineties and realize innovation has occurred since then and we have a brand new category that you are not accepting.
I suppose you deny that switch 2 is an electronic device. Because if you were to tell me you believe it is, I could only determine (by your logic)that you think a coffee maker is a video game device. And where does this end? Would you say that the Switch is a form of matter? So the switch is also a toe nail? You don’t need to explain further, I understand what you are saying. It’s just that what you are saying is a bit crazy.

@rjejr I’m so lost on your logic.
A boat and a submarine are both watercraft.
An air plane and a helicopter are both aircraft.
The switch and switch 2 are not portable consoles.
The switch and switch 2 are not home consoles.
The switch and switch 2 ARE hybrid consoles.

I got the switch 2 at launch. I enjoy playing it every day. I have not once played it in portable mode. Are you saying that means it is not a handheld console?

Re: EA Worker Pay Continues To Dwindle As CEO Picks Up $5 Million Bonus, Thus Creating Amusingly Tall Financial Graph

theberrage

I think EA makes good games. But I also think they are a cancer to the gaming industry. Especially in the mobile market. When the video game industry crashes, we will be pointing at companies like this for the reason.

But this saddens me because it reminds me of a certain Nintendo CEO who cut his pay 50 percent to save his people from layoffs.

RIP Satoru Iwata, a true leader.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza Switch 2 Demo Spotted In The Wild

theberrage

@Chlocean one year I asked my parents for a turbografx 16 for Christmas. We were at a Kmart or something. They asked me if I liked the SNES (just came out) or TG16 better. I told them the TG16 bc it was cheaper 😂 But they saw how glued I was to the Super Mario World demo and knew better. Bless them 😄

Re: Randy Pitchford Defends Borderlands 4 Pricing Comment

theberrage

He’s not wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m not a real fan… I’m not even a fan. So he’s correct as I will not buy this game, even at 60.
At some point, all the real fans are going to buy it and then what? You’re going to have to market to people like me where you would have the opportunity to create a NEW real fan. I think his comment is just fine. I wish more businesses would be open and honest in their comments, even if it’s not something we want to hear.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's N64 Library With Another Game

theberrage

It’s really inexcusable that Nintendo has gone this long without updating controls and/or control options. I shouldn’t have to find a guide online to remap the controls in system settings for every N64 game. Why would they think that punching or kicking with the right stick is a good idea. I understand that this will be fixed with the Switch 2…. But this should have been a feature for the Switch on day 1

Re: Opinion: It's Time To Get Rid Of Fall Damage

theberrage

This is one of those articles where I’m not convinced the author believes their own opinion. It is written solely to encourage discussion. I usually skip over them, but I’ll bite.

So… your argument is that since your character might defeat a strong enemy with a weak weapon, they shouldn’t be able to die from falling to their death?

In games where there is no fall damage, should we remove the possibility of death entirely?
If Mario can survive falling from a 100 story building, kind of silly that he can die from brushing up against a little goomba.

Removing the possibility of failure would also remove the incentive to play.

Re: Star Wars: Hunters Servers To Close Later This Year

theberrage

I’m very disappointed by this. I never thought this game would be good. But it was a lot of fun. I’ve never spent money on “season passes” until this game. I will never spend money on a game like this again. I look forward to this game model crashing and never coming back.
