Gone Home

in Gaming Discussion on 19 May 2020

Jaicee said: Yeah, I can completely understand that, tbh. I think they wanted to like try and broaden the horizons of a certain type of gamer and it just wasn't going to happen. One started the game up expecting a high-stress, frightening type of experience and instead got a totally stress-free game about relationships and family, lol. If you're like me, that wasn't an unwelcome...

Gone Home

in Gaming Discussion on 14 December 2019

If I'm honest I didn't really like the game. I think for one of the reasons that the op touched on and that was the marketing. I think the trailers I watched made it seem like it was going to be a spooky, scifi type game and I bought it and played about the first 10 or so minutes thinking that's what I was going to be in for After about an hour with no horror, scifi or puzzles I just trudged my...

Rumor: Sony plans to launch the PS5 and PS5 Pro at the same time.

in Sony Discussion on 21 September 2019

It's probably true. I honestly don't think we have to be worried about consumer confusion anymore. Currently consumers who want to get into console gaming already have several models to choose from that will give them anywhere between 900p to 4k on the same game with radically different price points. If anything it would be strange not having the choice nowadays. ...

Steam is a Mess

in PC Discussion on 12 March 2019

I don't really understand. Pick a genre or tag you are interested in and sort by user reviews. Nothing but pages of absolute quality. ...

How cheap will Nintendo be able to make the Nintendo Switch?

in Nintendo Discussion on 05 May 2018

I think a home-only non-portable version could reach sub-200. Not having to produce the screen or internal battery could save a bit. Dock would not be needed either with slight adjustments. Edit: Darwinianevolution beat to it....

When you have to "resort" to digital.

That sweet Jak and daxter HD upgrade of all 4 games for the PS4 would have been nice as a physical release. The PS3 HD trilogy is creeping up a bit in price in the UK....

Credit Suisse Lifts Nintendo Rating to Outperform, Predicts 130 Million Switch Units Sold by 2022

in Sales Discussion on 19 September 2017

I could actually see this happening if Nintendo can get the thing officially sold in china, with its emerging middle class market....

[Ghostbusters] I'm just gonna say it

in Movies Discussion on 29 July 2017

I liked the first act, but really felt the editing was really choppy during the second act and most of the cameos felt intrusive. I still think it was decent, but I honestly felt it would have suited being a mini series more....

Uzumaki, Gyo or Tomie?

in General Discussion on 31 May 2017

I think Gyo (manga) is the darkest so I'll go with that :) Great artist btw, glad more people know about him. There is a great little story at the end of the Gyo manga which has the creepiest final panels of all time for me....

I could have been mistaken about Swich, but I have one theory left.

Mbolibombo said: Well, we did have A zelda and 3D mario game for the Wii U as well ;P I kid, sort of.. But I fully agree with what you said. To be fair, I'll admit if Zelda and Mario 3D came out in the first year of the WiiU I might have gotten it :P (full disclosure: I did actually pick up a second hand WiiU last year, but I just can't really get...

I normally wait about 2 years before buying a console, but I'll probably get the switch this year. It's the first Nintendo console I've been excited about in a long time. TBH it's everything I had hoped the WiiU would be, both in tech and first year games lineup. I mean I really disliked the WiiU, but I love the concept of the Switch. Zelda and 3D mario in the first year... the WiiU could have...

Rethinking The Switch Audience And Where Nintendo Can Gain Users.

in Nintendo Discussion on 13 May 2017

I kind of agree. I'm 34 and while still an avid PC/PS4 gamer, I have gone exclusively to smartphones for my mobile gaming. I feel the Switch will pull me back, particularly with racing games like Fast Neo and MK, as racing games never felt good to me with smartphone controls. I still want my portable racing fix however. (Sorry though, I don't think I could bring myself to play on the toilet :P )...

Lego City Undercover Re-Buying?

in Gaming Discussion on 30 March 2017

I'll buy it again. I was actually playing it on the WiiU and stopped when I found out it was coming out on PC. It's a good game, but the performance was... not the best on the WiiU. I could live with 720p, but the framerate always seemed very low to me. It didn't really feel like it was even managing to hit 30fps. I don't even want to discuss the loading times..... The annoying thing is that...

Teens React to Nintendo Switch Trailers

in Nintendo Discussion on 27 February 2017

I actually thought given their ages and that only a couple seemed to be core gamers that their opinions were pretty well informed. As a huge 3D platform game fan it did hurt that a couple of them did not see a point in platformers, but I can understand it at the same time. Many of them will only have played narrative driven games or competitive driven games with the goal being unlocking more...

Zelda: Breath of the Wild getting paid DLC (new hard mode/new dungeons/new story)

in Nintendo Discussion on 14 February 2017

It feels dirty having hard mode behind a paywall..... :( I'm just disappointed because Nintendo normally do really great dlc. ...

PS4 Pro performs pretty much like a $1000 PC, Hitman improved in every way on PS4 Pro

in Gaming Discussion on 24 November 2016

I honestly think the guy should have either saved a couple of hundred dollars and got a cheaper CPU to bring the price down or spent the saved money on a 1070 to give a clear performace difference and hit a rock solid 60fps. I just think if you are spending that much on a PC you shouldn't bottleneck the performance like that. Though it could be the case that he doesn't want to have to bother...

I'd Like To See DKC Returns + Tropical Freeze Ported To Switch

in Nintendo Discussion on 23 November 2016

Soundwave said: Yes, I'd love if they added DKC 1-3 to the package too, but they probably want to sell those individually on the Virtual Console. Would be great though to have all the DKC games on one cart. Yeah I think you're right about them putting those games on the virtual console instead. I guess it would be nice to be able to play every game on...
