I used the wrong word, what I meant to say in my comment was ‘Nintendo has received a lot of FLACK’.
Nintendo has received a lot of slack for revealing there will be game-key cards released for Switch 2, but it has done this so there is at least transparency for the consumer so they can be aware if physical hardware doesn’t store the full game.
Microsoft has had the game complete for a while, there’s no real reason to be selling a physical PS5 game where the game can fit on a blu-ray, but not including the full game.
@-Foxtrot 'Such a bad take from him.' Look, I get there is a lot of anger about the NS2 pricing but he's speaking facts. If a publisher has a game that is THAT desirable to the masses then it can charge a high price because there will be an audience who will buy it. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch continues to be one of its bestsellers eight years after release. I make an educated guess that it is the one game with the highest attach rate. So Mario Kart World will be the equivalen...
OO Didn't want to use his main account to comment on all the enhancements included in the PS5 Pro edition.
Yes, they've had to wait for months after the Game Pass release and yes they have to pay to play the game - but in return PS5 Pro players are getting the best console version of the game. It's not in any way diminishing the experience of console and PC players who've already played it - it's just that PS5 Pro players' first experience with the game will ...
@S2Killinit About your gender identity?
I don't see the issue really especially as every major publisher seems to have them, Microsoft, EA, Ubisoft, Bethesda etc.
One of the great things Concord did right was include pronouns for its full cast of non-binary and trans characters. Hopefully, Bungie has learnt this lesson from Firewalk Studios. Of course gameplay is important, but I speak for almost everybody on N4G when I say character gender identity should be prioritised.

@Reaper22_ Yes, the Last of Us Part II and Horizon Zero Dawn both got the remaster treatment -it worked for me as it was the first time I played TLOUII! And Silent Hill 2... And Lego Bloody Horizon!
But the PS5 did receive some high profile console exclusives including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Black Myth: Wukong and Astro Bot.
So Reaper22_ yes you can say the Sony community got some leftovers! Do not mista...
The PlayStation community will be eating good now they've been invited to dine at the Xbox table!
@Profchaos, your summary is good.
And it’s right to underline it’s a luxury item.
@PapaBop the bottom line is as adults we all have to make decisions and if a person cannot afford it, then they cannot afford it and will have to save longer until they can buy it. No one is owed the right to buy a luxury item at a price THEY would like on the day of release.
If you’re a 12 year old kid and you’re wondering if it’s too expensive for your parents to afford it because it’s too expensive I get that, but if you’re an adult 18 years older or over, you’re not owed the right to buy it. In Western countries eg the US, mainland Europe and the UK you can afford one of these and a bunch of games by working a minimum wage job for two weeks.
I’m not denying anybody’s right to be upset that the price of the Switch 2 and its games are too expensive. However, do not mistake complaining online with other online bros as a movement because it isn’t. The reality is the Switch 2 is going to sell out on day one, and it’s going to be a big hit.
The price of a small chicken doner at my local Turkish take away has gone up £3. THREE POUNDS. That’s not right is it? But the owner is under no obligation to sell it at the...
@S2Killinit Satire. I’m not going to hate on people for being excited for a new console. But what is happening in the Xbox community is something wicked, content creators are hyping up the Asus to their audience about how great this thing is, and how it will be more powerful than the Switch 2 and the Steam Store outweighs any advantage the Switch 2 has with its library of games. I don’t believe they believe it but they are grifting. By all means look forward to it but don’t sell it as a Switc...
When the casual market learn that there’s going to be an Xbox branded Asus handheld they will cancel their Nintendo Switch 2 preorders and get the Asus. No it won’t have exclusive games like Super Mario or Zelda or Metroid or Pilot Wings or Mario Kart or Animal Crossing or Donkey Kong or Pokémon or Super Smash Bros - but who cares as it will have access to the entire library of the Steam Store running on Windows. It will also have access to Game Pass with all the modern day classics like...
Good clues that Sony is looking into a PS6 Portable
At the slow rate of progress this is going, we’re more likely to have real spacecrafts before the game is released.
As it is meant to be an introductory tour to the hardware it really should be free or factored into the price of the base unit.
Targeting 1080p means a modest resolution compared to PS5 & Series X - but at least it’s a step up from the disappointing performance on Xbox Series S.
OLED looks better but is more expensive. Whilst the hardcore would be happy to pay that the mass market isn't. People have complained about the Switch 2's price for being too high, so Nintendo has made the right choice to keep costs down.
@S2Killnit: ‘What is an illegal part time job?’ It’s a non-full time job that is not legal.
I don't do a lot of online play so I can't really speak from experience about what is likely to make these kind of multiplayer games work or not. What I will say is that to me it looks unique, beautiful even, and it will have some of that trademark Bungie top quality gameplay. However, in a highly competitive market this game is a hard sale, and I believe that if they had a single player campaign, like Halo:CE, then it will help people familiarise with the game world and be more willi...
