Could they make the Nintendo Switch any more problematic and confusing?

I feel like the whole Nintendo Switch reveal is like some mystery tour where we have to take clues, try to make some sense out of them and see if we can work it all out before it goes on sale, and every time we start to get clues from them, they tend to lead us towards a disappointing solution rather than a positive one.
I mean, how many other manufacturers of ANYTHING ask you to pre-order so...

Wow, you know that there are desperate Nintendo sponsored blogs out there sweating right now when they have to boast about the amazing feature known as "HD Rumble", something that the original Xbox360 had over a decade ago, and something that clearly is a load of s**t because they had to attach the word HD to the start of the name to make it sound better and more superior to its rivals.
It is also worth noting, that while great efforts are made to bring different Rumble fe...

Doesnt matter if it compares well or not with PS4 and X1, the fact is that games are priced too high anyway and the lower sales on key AAA titles over the past couple of years prove that. Gamers are no longer rushing out to buy high price titles straight away and a lot of gamers are either looking for bargains or holding off making a purchase until the price drops a little.
£30-£40 is a sweet spot for buying a game nowadays and those AAA titles that price above that are fi...

I am calling this..... less than 50K sales first week of launch and most of them are console collectors who want to buy something first week or because they have every console known to man in their collection already.

Kids don't want it, they just want an iPad or an Xbox/PS4, those brought up with the Wii don't want it as they have grown up.... its not as well powered or feature rich as a similar priced X1 and there attempt to target harcore gamers a little more wi...

Heard a rumour that Scorpio killed Scalebound. That MS wanted Scalebound to be huge to make X1 stand out as a very capable console, but they found early on that X1 was struggling to cope with the demands of the game engine to produce the type of game they wanted. So they delayed it a year to allow Project Scorpio to be announced and to give them a better hardware platform to really show the true vision of this hugely ambitious game..... but in the end they realised that the game was going to ...

It is amazing how many people also watch the "Kill Cam" after they die, instead of turning it off and watching what your teammates are doing for the few seconds of spawn time.
I had one game where we lost and everyone was blaming each other...... until I pointed out that two of the players were actually glitching outside of the map and going for a nice little wander around the outside the map limits..... to which everyone seemed surprised and shocked to know we were theore...

Nothing wrong with the strength of him, nor even the 1-shot kill with some characters..... its just the cheating aspect of his hook that needs fixed, when he can hook you through a wall and drag you back. That is all that needs fixing in the interest of fairness. Suggesting he is too powerful is ridiculous when you consider the entire game is based on characters being Pro/Con against different other characters and its the same with Roadhog, he is overly powerful against low health characters,...

I would be more shocked if I was to find a single character in the game aside from Soldier 76 and McRee, that was straight! They ALL seem to be bisexual, gay, a-sexual or just lacking sex organs to give a feck! Even Reinhardt is Hardt for the guys!

I own an Xbox, I love my Xbox, Xbox Live is awesome, and even I can see the ridiculous way they suggest that their network wont let you down....... when it goes down on Xmas Day/Boxing Day for the 5th straight year in a row! Or when a new Halo game comes out!

Seriously, the Live sells itself, its brilliant, it doesnt need them to say stupid stuff like this and have egg on their face when the network lets you down for a few hours over server demand or immature bratty hacker...

I am surprised..... the reason it has not been allowed before is because Microsoft didn't want lots of custom penis pictures and could guarantee everything was PG friendly for kids to go on Xbox Live (provided they didnt have a mic and a copy of Overwatch! lol)
Either they have figured out a way to allow people to upload their own custom pictures but still moderate them, or they are about to open the gates of hell and allow parenting groups to flood the world of video games com...

The original sold appalling when it first came out. Sales figures so far down for a decent game that sold itself on its own hype, that the multiplayer side was dead within 2-3 weeks.
Now they have decided to remaster it and sell it again and expect full price for it, a few years later, in a time when sales figures for much bigger franchises like Titanfall and Call of Duty have suffered from below average sales and there is a big question mark over whether gamers are still willing to...

Some say that Scorpio is created in the depths of a volcano by rainbow coloured unicorns!

I am looking forward to the year 2021 where No Mans Sky finally becomes the game that everyone expected it to be and finally gets a review score of at least 9 out of 10 or greater! Even better news is that I only have to wait another 4 years until Update: 54.5 finally adds all those promised features!

It isnt the overhaul that is the issue, its the achievements that are the problem. Some of the achievements will become far harder to get post-change than pre-change. I think one achievement was to "Destroy 3 Teleporters in a single game", which is still achievable, except the new Teleporters now recharge their own shields when damaged, and with Symmetra having TWO Ultimates, it reduces the chances of her even using the Teleporter Ultimate, let alone three times, and therefore with ...

The one thing I am surprised about with these changes (which all sound good in my opinion) is the Secondary Fire is not changing. Her Primary fire is is excellent (if a little short in range which they are now fixing to make it slightly easier to attack) but her Secondary was always so slow to power up and slow to fire that anyone could just step out of the way of it easily. To leave it as it is, I think will still make it one of the most pointless and underused weapons going. What might make...

Call Of Duty is a bit like Yasmine Bleeth...... you have such fond, incredible memories of how she used to excited your life and had a big impact in it when you were younger........ and now you take a look at her and realise how the years have not been kind at all and it makes you a little nostalgically sad that the best years are long gone!

Its geared for 4K, but three years ago 4K was still in late development and the only TV that offered it came with a price tag well over £1,000+. To say that Sony should have had an overly powered console to make use of a tech that had barely entered any homes at all, is ridiculous, and even more so considering they have sold PS4 for 3 years successfully and now getting people to upgrade to Pro for more $$$'s in the bank. They couldn't have made those profits if they brought out t...

Bastian is probably gay and an ex-robotic porn star judging by the size of his barrel!

In my eyes its okay to introduce a LGBT character if it just so happened a character they were developing came across as a little like they could be LGBT and they thought they would run with it as it would be easy to adapt that character..... but if its purely to appease a minority or gain a bit of free media attention then I see no need for it, its a game, not a protest march! They need...

The hacking and ability/ultimate disruption is a good idea, I like the idea of that. The teleporting and camouflage concerns me as I would not like to have her too similar to Tracer which is already a nightmare when a pro player plays as Tracer, to have 2 characters zipping here there and everywhere, or invisibly could make a side on attack far superior than a defensive side. The only way to counteract that is a low powered weapon so that her appearing all over the place is more of a nuisance...

She is gonna be a nightmare. I hope that she is well balanced because from the video, with her stealth and her Tracer style teleport ability she is gonna be killing you without you even knowing where she is coming from or seeing it to defend it, and Tracer is bad enough in a good players hands.
I like the use of her ability to block Ultimates and abilities, and to hack powerups and turrets, etc. But I am just not sure if the game needs more teleporting characters, but I will reserve...
