1. It's not better suited for handhelds, as a fan of the series I enjoy playing it for long sessions than Switch battery can even last, thus making portability actually an issue to me, maybe it's your preference, but it's not better suited for handhelds and case closed, at all. |
1. He thinks its better portable, you do not. Maybe consider that in reviews. Said reviewer prefers it one way or the other as well. The switch makes it so that they are never in a review saying "This is a better handheld, or better home console game", cause it can be either.
Lets say 10 reviewers review Disgea 4 on PS3, and then the same on the PSV. Half of them like playing it on tv, half like it portable. Thus half of them always give either the psv or the ps3 a dock in points for not being the format they like. PSV, gets five 8's, and five 9's. The 9's from those that like portable, the 8's from those that like tv. Same for PS3, it gest five 8's and five 9's. The reviewers flip flopped in this case. The ones that gave it a 9 on the PSV give it an 8 on the PS3 cause they like portability. The ones that gave it an 9 and gave it an 8 on teh PSV prefer to play it home console style.
Now on to the switch reviews. It gets all 9's, because all 10 reviewers can play the way they like to for this game. Those that like portable have that, those that like tv have that. No reason to dock.
Now that is just for reviewer bias in play method. Now lets talk about extra content, no new features as you said. The extra dlc as you said is just costumes? I have no idea, never played and don't know. But lets say it is. Then yes no point in upping score. No new features, story modes, story, ect. Idk again, taking your word. So again no raise in point there.
BUT you are not considering teh switch itself as a new feature. I watched a trailer yesterday for this game where they showed off all the plethora of stuff you can do. Showing off battles, the crazy way of playing such as making a tower of people and swinging them like a bat, ect. But during that trailer it also showed a ton of non-battle stuff. The town so to speak. You know where you go and recruit people, interogate people, build weapons, formulate team, level yourself up. Min/Max as they said. ect. Going off of memory from one watch, so don't recal all and could be adding stuff that doesn't exist. But you seem to have played this game so you would know of what I'm talking about.
Now as for what the switch brings to the table. I could see myself playing a game like this in this manner. For all the battles, story stuff, ect I woudl dock the system and play on teh big tv. Then when doing the hundreds of inbetween battle things I would undock it and have it in handheld mode while I watch a tv show. I can casually do this "offscreen" stuff without having to monopolize a tv per say, plus not getting bored doing all this stuff if a tv show is on. Or say this is an RPG type game where it requires a lot of grinding. You can do that mindless grinding stuff in portable mode while you watch a movie.
That is a new feature. It's not a new feature Disgea added, but a feature the Switch brings to all of its library just by being what it is.
