I played the originals recently...well, tried to, anyway. They’re not anywhere as good as I remember from the 90s! I knew they were gonna be rough, but...oof. BEWARE!
@dartmonkey Ah thanks! And dunno how I missed the part about the first game...TBH, I listened to the video while doing something else, so that's where I went wrong!
@mazzel Switch owners get that lesson every time there’s an AAA multi-platform game! Take what’s available, or get nothing (hint: they’re the same thing).
But yea, Switch definitely has some killer exclusives!
I still think it was reeeeeally messed up that Animal Crossing New Horizons makes you share a save state. I know one couple that bought a second Switch this year so both of them could have separate islands, but I hate thinking about all the families that had to share islands, or otherwise cough up a devastating $500 for a new Switch on the resell market (multiplied by the number of kids you have, and considering you haven't been laid-off AND have enough expendable savings). I can't imagine being a kid these days and having to share an island with my siblings...it's bad enough sharing a console! All of this over not having a separate save file. For shame!
Every time they showed one of the visual novels, I thought, "Didn't they already show this...?" lol. The music was nice, tho, and Café Enchanté seems interesting...
@ninoishi Pokemon Trainer has some POC/non-white alternate skins, and so does the Villager and Inkling. Granted, that's not nearly enough, but it's out there.
In the end, it's kinda sad. I've seen kids of color playing as white characters in plenty of games where there's no choice, and watching them flip through the character select screen indecisively kinda kicks you in the feels. I'm mixed-race, and I know playing as a character who looks like you isn't everything, but it's definitely not trivial.
To date, there's still nothing like Wii Sports on Switch, so...yeah.
Nintendo should create a "mini" version and sell it in perpetuity. Not doing so is basically the equivalent of board game companies saying, "Okay, Monopoly/Clue/Life/etc was a success, but we're stopping production forever and moving onto new board games! If you want a copy, go see the second-hand market and pay hundreds of dollars!"
When's that gosh darn ARMS character coming out? I'm ready for a SSBU DLC character that isn't just a regular dude, which we haven't gotten since Banjo-Kazooie, IMHO!
After I visit Disneyland (every several years), I try and find a good Disney game to keep the vibes going...I've always been let down, lol. Never played these games, actually, so a port would be nice!
The graphics of SCIV and especially the music are what freaked me out as a kid!
My parents got it for me (I didn't ask for it) and I buried it in the back of my closet after playing the first 15 minutes. After 3 years of recurring nightmares about the game, I finally dug it out and beat it. It's been one of my favorite games since!
@WallyWest Yeah, it's really shocking how insane people have gotten over that character. And with how entitled people seem to be these days, it's resulted in a lot of swearing and borderline threatening language directed toward Ed Boon specifically. These idiots are ruining it for the rest of us!
If I were Ed Boon, I'd definitely never put Mileena in the game. Or if I did, I'd make her brainwashed by Kronika and wearing an outfit that covers her skin from head-to-toe to really dig at the people who also complain about the game being "woke" (lol) and are expecting Mileena to be her usual sexualized self.
@Deanster101 IKR! I never beat this game and decided to play it a couple weeks ago and, man...that framerate is ROUGH! It’s absolutely unplayable because of it.
My dudes, being turned on by sexy game characters is a-ok, IMHO. It’s just another form of appealing visual design. It’s all complementary to the game anyway...not like this is going to replace human sexy-time. It’s just an added bonus to the bloody gameplay!
I played Wave Rave 64 (on a real N64) last weekend and for some reason I couldn't get the turning right (my controller has a tight stick, btw). Wife was overlapping me, lol. I was doing stuff like holding back + left/right to try and cut through waves while turning, I'd end up barely turning at all. Egads!
@shonenjump86 The Hunter Gamma and Beta creatures in the Resident Evil 3 remake were giving me major Dino Crisis vibes! That's definitely on top of my list of Capcom re-makes.
@KitsuneNight Ah, so you didn't like RE4 then? I played it a few years after it originally released and loved it (it was one of my favorite games for years). What didn't you like about it?
@Chibi_Manny I wouldn’t blame the nursing home necessarily. Family members of other patients could’ve also transmitted the virus during a visit. However it ended up there, the fact that these people are in constant contact with staff and that there are sometimes no overt symptoms of the virus at first means that spreading it once it gets in is easy, unfortunately. Same goes for hospitals, prisons, and other kinds of shelters!
I can’t believe how many people here are out of touch with reality here. How can you expect a family under quarantine with other expenses to just go out and buy more Switches? Furthermore, who the heck wants to share an island in this game, where someone else could easily do a bunch of things completely at odds with what you want, and complete key game moments? Think about it. I grew up with two siblings and we fought over games that even had their own separate savestates...I can’t imagine being forced to share an island, especially when there doesn’t seem to be any reason not to have multiple.
I think this is a scumbag move and totally get all the 0/10 ratings. Especially since my wife and I had to go out and buy groceries for a needy family yesterday. Families have other things to worry about right now, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a freakin’ separate save file!
I visit a handful of video game news websites regularly, and I see “old” stories being posted all the time. I think it’s fine, so long as all the important stories get covered eventually. Game Informer, for example, has lots of exclusive features but regularly posts about stuff a week or two later, or sometimes not at all, so...I’d say NL does a great job!
@FaroreAbhorsen I never played any of the Xenoblade games, although I reeeally want to (especially Chronicles). The only thing stopping me is time...I can’t fit an 60+ hr RPG into my schedule! I can usually only get around 6-8 hours of gaming stretched over a week, so when I say I spent 8 hours with Breath of the Wild, that’s a lot of my time, considering I also have a deep backlog of other equally esteemed games. In the end, BotW just wasn’t the “best” at anything it did, and the sum of its parts didn’t make it much more than that, IMHO. It’s not the prettiest game, so if I wanted to relax and enjoy the scenery, I’d go elsewhere. Combat isn’t very deep, weapons are expendable to the point of weapons having no value, and environmental puzzles are less compelling to complete as a result. I did my research and kinda figured this is how I’d react to the game, but I wanted to give it a shot. Perhaps now is just not the time...in fact, I initially hated ALL of the games I would now consider my top 5, so it’s just on the backburner for now. I appreciate Nintendo trying new things with the series, but I don’t think BotW is quite there yet...
@NESlover85 Sounds like you’ve NEVER played a free game before. In-game purchases are famously a rip-off, the most basic example being loot boxes full of lazy re-colored skins that look like garbage (i.e. Apex Legends) where you can easily spend $10 (or $20, or $30...) and get nothing.
Fortnite, on the other hand, has a $10 battle pass that gives you 8+ skins that are actually good looking with 2-3 variations each, a bunch of emotes and weapon skins, plus enough in-game money to buy the next season’s pass (so technically you can get every season’s battle pass and all skins therein off of your initial $10 purchase). The catch is that you have to complete a bunch of in-game challenges, but you get 4-5 months to do it, and it only took me 30 hours.
After wanting BotW for two years and then finally playing it, I personally didn’t like it. The weapons constantly breaking and vast distances between destinations populated by the same enemy stakeouts made for an admittedly repetitive and boring experience, despite my best efforts to deny it. I ended up stopping 8 hours in. As it stands, I think Dragon’s Dogma, Skyrim, and Dark Souls are more compelling experiences on the Switch.
Fortnite rocks, btw. You can get soooo much value for the $10 season pass it’s insane...definitely the most generous free game I’ve ever played, period. The $15 skins are a rip-off, but still a much, MUCH better value than loot boxes (looking at you, Overwatch). It’s also the most relaxing multiplayer shooter I’ve ever played in solo mode, so I’m surprised to hear that it’s linked to so many life-ruining stats, lol. This comes from someone who’s whaled out on other F2P games and been horribly addicted to Call of Duty.
It doesn’t matter how many Pokemon are in these games, the core gameplay is so slow and played-out that it’s a chore to play! Wish I still liked these kinds of grindy, traditional RPGs, but I don’t think it’s wrong to ask them to try something new.
The next Pokemon game should be a spin-off with a more limited, focused roster and experimental gameplay. That won’t happen, but I can dream...
Contra had a fun demo. It was on sale for $17 this past month and I was super excited to go get it, but turned out that was a limited time deal and it has jumped back up to $40!
I’ll pick something up later rather than sooner, since I asked for a lot of the Resident Evil games for Xmas! I like the physical editions because I don’t want to use up a lot of my SD card storage...in this case, I guess it doesn’t matter since Capcom makes you download most the content anyway! Boooooo!!!
@personauser93 Ditto, lol. The people I know who love this show are also the same variety who think telling the same 9/11 and Holocaust jokes over and over again ISNT annoying, who post edgy mc-edgelord memes, draw upside crosses and swastikas everywhere, and will also hit on your girlfriend behind your back. Another case where the fan base kills the show’s appeal for me, in my experience.
Daaaang so much hate here, lol. I actually really like these, but wanting all of them just makes me realize how expensive the microtransactions can be!
@Pod LOL. I used to hate Fortnite soooo much but it’s actually a really good game (which I would NEVER have expected myself to say). Never really played it until this latest season, but now I have 50+ hours in it, lol. Super balanced and the fort-building actually makes the game better (I always thought it should be removed) and is worth learning to do.
It’s also got the best Battle Pass I’ve ever seen for $10, since not only can you unlock all the skins in like 30 hours, but the skins are actually good (as opposed to pallet swapped trash in other games), and if you complete the pass (which presently you have until February to do), you’ll get enough in game money to buy the next season’s pass (so you can play off of that $10 forever, technically).
The whole game fitting on the cartridge is what I appreciate most. Sick of third party games requiring 15-20 GB of extra space. Good job boys! Now how about a port of your game Inversion 😬some of favorite plot twists in that one....
@Mgene15 yeah, you’d think with the deepest library of all video game companies they’d be a little bit more liberal with their old games, lol. At least throw Goemon in there! Anyway, it’s Nintendo after all...we need to beg them just for the privilege to buy their games, let alone have them give them to us for free!
Cross-platform play is the thing they need to add most, IMHO!! I just wanna play this with the lady using my laptop without having to shell out for another Switch, lol.
@SmaggTheSmug I like the idea of a crow, I just think design-wise it needs revision...it’s a cool (albeit plain-looking) crow, but there’s no connection to the bomb aspect. the crows spit out bombs? How? It’s just really disconnected. Maybe the “bombs” should be eggs instead? Idk. I just feel there’s a opportunity there to do something more interesting!
I think they shoulda used a different character than a bird. At a glance, I would NEVER have guessed this is Bomberman inspired. The bird should at least be holding a bomb! And there should be some tag line or subtitle that’s more descriptive of the game. Like “Ponpu: Bomb Bird Brawl.” I also think that the black-and-white color scheme seems to make reading the battlefield more difficult...maybe add more color, to distinguish objects from the background at least. I dunno...Just my 2-cents!
You guys shoulda posted a pic of the actual stuff you get. Personally I don’t like any of the skins, so...even if it was free, I would never use any of it!
@mist I think that the biggest issue with free speech on the internet is anonymity, where you can say whatever you want and never have to be accountable for it. The whole “internet tough guy” thing where you talk big but would dare trash someone to their face in real life. If there was some way for people to be responsible for being scumbags, then I think we’d see a lot less of it.
Online multiplayer went dead on the other versions almost instantly, so unless you were planning on playing local split screen with friends, this wasn’t going to be a useable feature anyway.
@Ralek85 Yep, still Dreamworks / Universal who owns Turok. Ugh. They have NEVER made what I would call a “real” game, so I’d say the chance of an official Turok sequel are preeetty slim.
@Ralek85 The brand new Turok game that just came out on PC last week is total trash (soooo bad), and beyond that I've definitely lost hope of another proper sequel any time soon. However, the PC indie scene right now has a lot of bases covered when it comes to spiritual successors to older franchises. New games like Ion Fury, Dusk, Amid Evil, etc. Nothing yet that pays homage to Turok (or half of those franchises you mentioned), but hopefully it should be one day soon. Me and a buddy were personally working on a Turok successor several years ago (i.e. full game mapped out, but we only made one enemy, and one gun), but then that got buried by life. Gah!! Anyway...hopefully it's only a matter of time before someone else makes one!

You guys shoulda posted a pic of the actual stuff you get. Personally I don’t like any of the skins, so...even if it was free, I would never use any of it!
Re: Metacritic Takes Action Against Disgruntled Gamers Who Review-Bombed Astral Chain
@mist I think that the biggest issue with free speech on the internet is anonymity, where you can say whatever you want and never have to be accountable for it. The whole “internet tough guy” thing where you talk big but would dare trash someone to their face in real life. If there was some way for people to be responsible for being scumbags, then I think we’d see a lot less of it.

Re: Turok 2 On Nintendo Switch Doesn't Include Multiplayer
Online multiplayer went dead on the other versions almost instantly, so unless you were planning on playing local split screen with friends, this wasn’t going to be a useable feature anyway.
Re: The Dinosaur Hunter Returns To Switch Next Week In Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil
@Ralek85 Yep, still Dreamworks / Universal who owns Turok. Ugh. They have NEVER made what I would call a “real” game, so I’d say the chance of an official Turok sequel are preeetty slim.
Re: The Dinosaur Hunter Returns To Switch Next Week In Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil
@Ralek85 The brand new Turok game that just came out on PC last week is total trash (soooo bad), and beyond that I've definitely lost hope of another proper sequel any time soon. However, the PC indie scene right now has a lot of bases covered when it comes to spiritual successors to older franchises. New games like Ion Fury, Dusk, Amid Evil, etc. Nothing yet that pays homage to Turok (or half of those franchises you mentioned), but hopefully it should be one day soon. Me and a buddy were personally working on a Turok successor several years ago (i.e. full game mapped out, but we only made one enemy, and one gun), but then that got buried by life. Gah!! Anyway...hopefully it's only a matter of time before someone else makes one!
