Me too, I am 45 hours into a BotW playthrough and can honestly say I cannot remember enjoying a game as much as this, it is so relaxing to play, whilst being exciting at the same time....I cannot quite explain it! As much as I enjoyed it nearly a decade ago, I am loving so much more this time around, much to the expense of MarioKart which I was really excited for!
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion maan"!
I think Japanese consumers are far more discerning than you give them credit for and the quality of the Switch 2 has an awful lot to do with it's success.
It's true Japanese gamers like portable devices due to smaller living spaces and the commuting they often commit to, but the popularity of Nintendo has been hard fought and we'll earned by Nintendo domestically and world wide.
I know you weren't looking to dunk on Nintendo dude, so I am ...
MS were doing so well that they had to start selling their games on their main competitors system which in turn results in around 30% of each sale going to Sony as the platform holder.
I do think tjat MS' fortunes will improve now that they are actually selling games rather than giving them away for pennies on the dollar.
Something that occurs to me is that the more success MS published games have elsewhere, the more stark it will become that selling ...
All I wanted from my Switch 2 was more of the same but with more 'oomph', and that's exactly what I got. I am replaying BotW at the moment and whilst I loved it on my 1st play through back in the day, this time my enjoyment is even more elevated, to the point where I could consider the game being my favourite even above Bloodborne or Bioshock.
I don't consider the admittedly lacking amount of first party games as a knock personally as I know the games will ...
Fuck me Obscure, stop being such a pathetic victim....the console wars died 15 years ago!
I don't think you are being fair Eonjoy. It is a fact that all consumer electronics are expected to have some small degree of failure rates, so the dock failing would be very frustrating to the affected individual. But it not indicative of anything sinister.
However, he could have simply returned the whole device and got a new one rather than playing silly buggers. Its not like he had no recourse and was stuck with a broken device.
It's such a c...
Xbox physical game enthusiast......guy picked the wrong console!
This is true throughout all of the corporate and public sector organisations to be honest. CEO's generally move amongst the corporate world without any need to have experience of a particular industry, they simply need to rely on their senior leadership credentials. A CEO of a retail giant will just as easily transition to a CEO role in the energy sector for example.
Not defending CEOs here to be clear, I think it's a huge part of the reason the western world is s...
I really hope there are a bunch of scalpers who bought loads of stock, only for Nintendo to absolutely flood the market nearer launch. I hate scalpers with a passion!
Personally, I love Nintendo games so my decision to jump in early was for MarioKart and to start replaying a bunch of my favourite Switch games. I have ploughed over 25 hours into Breath of the Wild since last Thursday, I am absolutely enthralled by it all over again!!!
You are so short sighted and blinkered squire!
Do you think that the moment XBox achieve any kind of dominant market share, they won't increase the price of their services massively?
They are literally showing you how avaricious they are and you just bang on about your blinkered talking points...the mind boggles.
Same here, despite being a Nintendo fan I have never liked handheld gaming so I will always opt to play multi-platform games on my PS5 where i can.
I spent all that dough on a Switch 2 and Mario Kart and have fallen in love with Breath of the Wild all over again, I simply cannot stop myself from playing it!!!
I still haven't played Cyberpunk but figure I'll pick that up for my PS5Pro at some point. I am keen to play it but am going to hang on a little longer in the hope if a PS5Pro patch.
What on earth are you waiting to play if you aren't interested in Mario, Kong or Pokemon 😃
I still can't grasp how anyone can think that so much of any one industry being owned by one corporation is a good thing🤔
Tried it on PC with pretty much max settings. Game looked fab, but it was easily one of the most boring games I have played. I got about 5 hours in and couldn't even bring myself to push on to the end which was very close at that point.
It was such a shame that so many nippleheads focused on the costume change nonsense rather than the fantastic gameplay, amazing art design, the best OST of the year and great story and characters.
For me personally, I think it pipped Astrobot to the post for game of the year. Whilst it got plenty of attention, I still feel like ot is somewhat under appreciated.
I am looking to replay the game shortly to mop up the last few trophies for a platinum trophy...
Imagine if Konami had gone down the same route as Capcom, it would have been amazing to have both companies knocking it out of the park. Congrats to Capcom though, absolutely brilliant developer.
That is utterly bonkers.
It's funny because I saw the advert for the content and it made me look up a physical copy of the game. I have been waiting as I am hoping a 'game of the year' type edition gets issued with the DLC as per Diablo 3, but seeing the Berserk stuff really tempted me into pulling the trigger. Guess I can go back to being patient again given those disgusting prices.
Hahaha, you have been all over these Death Stranding 2 posts Lukasmain, you are super pumped for sure😆
As a fellow fan of the 1st game (with the plat to prove it) I am super excited too and it's great to see the sequel is so expansive.
Glad you are enjoying it so much squire, I'll be picking it up once I get back from a family trip next week.
