Re: Dragon Quest XI S To Be Temporarily Unavailable On The Swich eShop

topher6490

A bit odd. Others like Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy (and probably Live A Live at some point) were due to Square Enix taking over publishing duty from Nintendo. But Dragon Quest XI S was published by Square Enix at launch on Switch.

EDIT: Nope, OdnetninAges is correct. Nintendo did publish it internationally. So business as usual. Have Builders 1 & 2 been switched over to Square Enix yet?

Re: Random: The Game Awards Urged Eiji Aonuma To 'Wrap Up' Zelda Acceptance Speech

Part of the reason is the long-winded segments everywhere else. Hideo Kojima and Jordan Peele took forever for absolutely ****ing nothing. You have to hear everything twice from Japanese developers because they say it and then it's translated. Then you have people have no idea how to speak publicly and just stumble on their words like the Hello Games guy. Even the dude whose game I can't wait for, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, had a touching story but just kept telling it for way too long. Stuff like that needs to be pre-recorded and edited.

But then even people who can speak publicly and who bring star power to the event just hinder it more than anything. Matthew McConaughey, Anthony Mackie, Simu Liu went on for way too long. And Anthony Mackie must've been drunk 'cause he was annoying as ****.

And then that incredibly stupid music segment was a giant waste of time. Who is watching the show for that?

Re: Review: Horizon Chase 2 - More Arcade Racing, With Some Bumps In The Road

Not sure what they're talking about with the environments and tracks looking drab. I mean, not every neon color is vomited all over you during a race, but the color palettes used in each track look great. If you have an iOS device, look at screenshots of it on Apple Arcade tab on the App Store. The tracks are gorgeous.

As someone who found Horizon Chase Turbo to be the best racer on Switch sans Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I absolutely feel Horizon Chase 2 has taken that spot. It does have some framerate issues, but beyond that, it's incredible.

Re: Bluey Makes Her Video Game Debut On Switch This November

@CaleBoi25 It's a show that's just as much for parents as it is for kids. It teaches kids right from wrong, and also teaches parents good behaviors for when children aren't behaving.It also lacks the stupidity that seems to be a pre-requisite for most children's shows these days.

It does get sone flack for the parents handling the situations too well all the time. Makes some parents feel bad, lol.

It's an excellent show, though.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Switch Leaks Surface Online Ahead Of Launch

topher6490

Not sure how this leak could be considered unfortunate. Netherrealm and WB have not showed one second of Switch footage to allow consumers to decide whether or not they wanna spend $60-$110 on the game, but they're still locking a character behind a pre-order.

Glad it got leaked so people can make an informed decision.

Re: As Switch Momentum Slows, Nintendo Expects Further Sales Decline Next Year

topher6490

125 million units with 15 million more expected over the course of the seventh year is crazy considering it’s never had a price drop and has nearly no other functionality other than playing games except YouTube, Hulu, and some anime apps.

If they drop the all three Switch models by $100 when the Switch 2 comes out and leave it on the market for a year or two, it’ll pass PS2 sales. The PS2’s MSRP was eventually lowered to $100 and wasn’t discontinued until the same year the PS4 came out!

Re: Talking Point: After Pixel Remaster, What's Next For Final Fantasy On Switch?

topher6490

@ElRoberico Ohhh yeah! I always wanted to try that, too. I’ve been Nintendo-only since the Wii U launched, so I missed last gen’s Final Fantasy games.

I might have to buy a PS5 for XVI, though. That looks so good. I think that and VII Remake: Intergrade and Rebirth would get me my money’s worth out of the system. Plus I could try the real XV and maybe even XIV.

Re: Paper Mario-Inspired RPG 'Flynt Buckler Wakes The Sleepy Castle' Smashes Funding Goal

Every time one of these articles pops up, I’m immediately reminded of Michael Scott chastising Dwight for always agreeing with him.

“Just have a thought. Have an original thought.”

All indie gaming is now is just roguelikes/lites, Metroidvanias, and a bunch of Joe Nobodies making lame knock-offs of good games. Replaying Paper Mario or The Thousand-Year Door for the hundreth time would still provide far more entertainment value than whatever this is.

Re: Random: Hyperkin And Kraft Heinz Team Up For "Monumental" Collaboration

topher6490

I mean I like a good bottle of Heinz ketchup as much as the next person, but this sets the gaming community back bad. Guess we are all just fat slobs who only eat whatever quick food Mom could fix for us when we were children.

However, if they make a case or controller that says “Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time! When pizza’s on a bagel, you can eat pizza anytime!”… I don’t know that I’ll be able to resist purchasing it.
