The start of the presentation, obligatory Madden, "we're making Battlefront 2," and look, Battlefield One. EA is predictably bland and lacking in their first 10 minutes.
Edit: I get FIFA is EA's pride and joy of their annual sport releases, but they just spent nearly 15 minutes on it. The need for EA to have an hour main stage presentation continues to dwindle.
Radiant Historia was a truly excellent DS RPG, and I'm hoping the 3DS version gets proper appreciation. It's fun, creative, and has a well crafted story. I encourage any RPG fan to see that this one ends up in their collection.
This is already the problem with the Switch. It has the ability to be portable, and thus is experiencing handheld expectations for games. Why would Nintendo release a 3DS tier game on a system capable of Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild? It would be a staggering under utilization of resources and would put forth a bad precedent for what to expect on the Switch going forward. If a Pokemon game is coming, I'd expect it to be a lot closer to the Gamecube titles than a main title. Even whe...
It may still chart high, but compared to launch when groups of people would travel from pokestop to pokestop, alerting other groups of Pokemon they just caught, duking it out for gyms, it has seriously fizzled out. I can't recall the last time I saw someone wandering around clearly playing Pokemon Go, and I live in a big city. Like any simple social game, it's flourishing time was short and sweet, and it is now only touched by the curious and the few diehards still genuinely into it. ...
I'd say enjoy waiting based on the extensive lack of information on that version so far, but let's face it: with DQ localization times, it probably won't release in the rest of the world for over a year or two yet anyways.
Of course E3 is a competition to be won. It's essentially a marketing competition where Sony and Microsoft in particular push to generate the most hype from their presentation. Every E3 has winners and losers. If someone on the big stage doesn't bring the goods, they better be prepared to suffer the negative press that is sure to follow when the inevitable E3 presentation ranking articles come out in droves.
I feel like this is more for people who buy used Switch games without a box, but want a dedicated game box to store the game in. Getting used DS and 3DS games can royally suck if you don't get a legit case, and with Switch games being similarly designed, the same risk is run of getting stuck with a loose cartridge or a flimsy, ugly stock game store case.
Speedrunning is split into multiple categories per game based on discovered glitches and community agreements. A glitch speedrun is valid and fun both to watch and play for a lot of people.
The problem is that Sony is defined as much by strong first party exclusives as strong third party exclusives, particularly back in the PS1 era. With how IP has changed hands over the years and original rights holding, it would be a monumental chore to reach the agreements necessary to provide permanent copies of many games even in a digital capacity. This is part of the reason I don't believe an SNES mini is a good idea either. Many of the games people would want to see will never make i...
Fallout 4 is the worst Fallout game. Not a bad game, but the current low point in the series. Removing things like the Karma system was dumb, the game felt more like a cover shooter half the time, and aspects like the settlement building felt relatively tacked on. Fallout has been a bit rocky in places since the transition to full 3D action, but I'm hoping the next Fallout game takes a step back and realizes what varieties of choice and gameplay mechanics made the series so loved.
Neat, but remember all, Saints Row 2 is one of the worst PC ports ever. It runs better than it did back when it launched, but it is still a kind of buggy experience lacking in optimization.
Apparently Zelda raises the bar for open world games because it's accessible? Every successful open world game is accessible. Just because Zelda maintains at least a modicum of its general simplicity does not mean it is the pinnacle of open world games. I swear, it's like half the people that have played Breath of the Wild have also never seriously tried an open world game. There are tons of examples of open world done well stretching back into the 90s with isometric RPGs.
Totally agree. Reviews are interesting for this one too. There is such a disparity in reception. Some people absolutely hate it. They call it archaic, poorly designed, and cite performance issues for lowering the score even further. Others think it's great. A revival of a genre that has been underrepresented in the past decade, presenting some minor issues, but otherwise being exactly what was anticipated, rating it as high as 8 to 8.5 on numbered scales.
Overall, I'...
If these are the best horse controls, that doesn't stop them from being shit. Horses were made purely to get from point a to point b. Try to explore and they get stuck on the first slightly raised rock or resist the direction you try to take them. Temperamental horses are not "fun," especially when automatic functions cause them to fail at the most basic turns.
Otherwise you are literally just praising the game for being open world. That's it. Yes, it'...
I'm just terrible, I know.
It only cost around 30,000 rupees in supplies to get that 100.
The exclusive gear irks me. I should be able to get that gear somehow without buying an amiibo that will just take up space and cost 3x what would be charged on a digital marketplace for just the content. I feel like Nintendo lied too. They had said content unlocked by amiibos would all be obtainable in game. Looking at the list here, apparently they only meant BotW amiibos.
Such a scummy DLC practice. I don't get why people support this. We aren't all figure collec...
There's always demand for a major genre during any given time frame. Late 90s into the mid 2000s, 3D platformers were pretty big. Crash, Jak & Daxter, Spyro, Mario, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie, just about every licensed movie game to be made ever, and so many more lesser known titles embraced the trend. In the end though, it isn't so much that interest waned in that genre, but it increased drastically last gen in the FPS genre in particular. We got shooters, shooters, and more shoo...
The game isn't a 10. I've experienced issues with framerate in a few places on the Switch, docked and portable. On a non-technical level, horses control like trash, the weapon system is interesting but fails to strike a reasonable balance, and the world seems like it has a lot to do, except those things are basically just Shrines or hunting Korok seeds.
It's a solid 8. The game does do a ton right. It just doesn't do everything perfectly. It is the next step...
The guy said pretty plainly it can only be played co-op, either splitscreen couch or online. Based on the nature of the game, that means you'll want to know the person you're playing with to actually cooperate actively, and yeah, that's going to give this game a super short lifespan and general viability.
