@Pod I stand corrected on "Fractured But Whole" didn't know that. Your wrong on "The stick of truth" it was developed by Obsidian Entertainment. I don't know where your getting "Black Isle". But your wrong
@Pod
It's published by Unisoft. It's developed by Obsidian entertainment. Publishers didn't want to go near the game because of it's risky content. Unisoft did in the end.
I'm playing it on Wii u and the picture looks great on my 50" Sony 3d Android TV. That's all I know. It's the kind of game you can put hours in and it doesn't cause gamer fatigue. It doesn't wreck your head.
@Moshugan It's up to you whether you return it or not, even after speaking with Amazon. I'd talk to them if I were you. There's a chance to get a 15% partial refund. Your talking 50euro for a phone call. Ring them, get the 15% and then ring Nintendo And see what they say. Although they'll probably say return it to Amazon.
With the 50euro wait and buy one of the re-configured joy cons that are sure to appear very soon if there is an issue.
@Moshugan You have a contract with whomever you bought it, once they are not a private individual. I'm not to sure on consumer law but a product has to be fit for purpose. Contact Amazon and they'll either offer; a full refund, a replacement or a partial refund 15%
@NintySnesMan I'm the same i love all the consoles from all the manufacturers. As for backlog. I could never buy a game again I've that many still to play.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE It all started as a bit of a joke, me saying Switch was sold out. I'm sorry it offended you.
I predicted 40 million it was someone else that suggested 85 million. I think anything is possible. There is a buzz around Switch and like i said a price cut in the future and more games and it will sell.
I was serious about the ps3 thing. I wouldn't really be happy just having a Wii u. Heck I've a ps4 and xb1 as well. But the ps3 is where the serious bargains are and it's a fantastic console.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "he wrote it literally " lol. You haven't got a Switch and have no plans to get one in the near future so in your typical mean spirited and selfish manner you are hoping it is not selling and flops. Wii u failed and you are still going on about it.
Why don't you just get a ps3 or something and play all the games you want and are available for under 5euro each in CEX and stop going on like the world owes you something and playing the part of the hard done by Wii u owning gamer.
"and threw in calling me a fibber as well". Oh no. You're not the spokesman for Ireland. BTW
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I only check my area. Argos are sold out in Navan, Blanch, Ashbourne and Swords. That's all I've checked. Smyth's do have "low stock" in Navan, which means they have 1 possibly 2 consoles. I didn't see that the first time. So I was not lying.
The worst frame rate dip I've seen is in Kakariko village. It by no means ruins the experience. It's there if you are doing a 360 scan.
I used to love playing arcade games years ago. I always got pleasure from slowdown on the screen, i don't know why.
The slowdown on Wii u is nothing by comparison. Just to finish; BOTW is a "staggering achievement" on any console, not just Switch. I love my Wii u again.
Congratulations. I think it can easily sell 40 million. 85,000 UK sales is a phenomenon start for the UK. Few more games and maybe a price cut in the future and it'll be flying off the shelves.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE "So the childless Nintendo Switch official reveal trailer was a lie?" Listen if you think Nintendo are not going to target kids with Switch, you're wrong.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I think the reason Nintendo did not include a web browser is; The Switch is a kids toy and lots of parents will be more comfortable knowing its not there. Kids are being exposed to insane **** on the web.
If I had a young child I certainly would not want an internet browser on their gaming toy that they bring everywhere with them. Nintendo are a family oriented company.
@SLIGEACH_famicom Your user name is hilarious. SLIGEACH is the Irish word for Sligo. County Sligo is in west of Ireland . The Sligo family computer lol.
@Danrenfroe2016 I've a Wii u, I bought most of the first party games. It doesn't bother me because I don't think I'm going to buy a Switch. It's not for me. It'll be the first Nintendo I haven't bought since the NES. Don't get me wrong I really want it to succeed.
This is obviously aimed at the millions who don't own the Wii u version. I think we'll see a lot of Wii u games on Switch. Why not? These games deserve a platform that can infiltrate the market.
@Priceless_Spork You contradict yourself with your comment. You're saying if you have a negative opinion, someone who disagrees with that opinion is infringing your right to free speech. Isn't that what you're trying to do with your comment?
@PlywoodStick What's it got to do with the amount of comments @TrumpsHand has posted on this site, or his user name? I get it, he has a different opinion to yours.
Deal with it and stop s******g on everyone who has an opinion different to yours.
This is no minor issue. I think the whole docking bay needs redesigning. Not an easy task. The design at the minute is prone to be variable. One little tap and it's too tight, different tensile plastic from a different manufacturing plant, different room temperature. It's to precise, that's the issue I see.
@THENAMESNORM My experience with GameStop's website is; don't trust it. In Navan where I live their website clearly said they had a brand new PS3 console in stock. Not a word about it. They hadn't. This is only recently.
