I think a thing to keep in mind is that BOTW, even with its flaws, had a more universal appeal than other GOTY contenders which is why more outlets can agree it as GOTY. Horizon Zero Dawn, Persona 5, Wolfenstien, and many other titles are great but can be very polarizing depending on taste and skill. Many comments in this thread alone say that it was empty but many kept playing for 50, 60, 100 hours which can't be said for many other "flawed" games.
No they won't. Because they'll have something even worse ready to go.
Pretty sure Demon Souls was published by Sony much like Bloodborne so any other platform release besides PS4 is unlikely.
For a game 3X the cost of other platforms I would think that's an expected figure. I bet it would have some legs too as the holiday season had many new Switch owners.
"It really depends on approach. I much rather read multiple well spaced articles than a bunch of them released in quick succession or everything under the sun being revealed or the developers feeling the need to explain every detail."
Long publicity campaigns work for many people's interests. I happen to think it drags on too much in a market with too much noise already. Take Death Stranding for example. It will have close to three years of being known before ...
Huh. I suppose that's what happens when you start announcing most of your games within a year from launch. I like that timing. Its enough to get hyped but not long enough to make it drag on.
A big part was because how it was presented. They acted like it was not there and hid it from the players until the beta before launch. Then they said they were fixing it but nothing really changed until the day before launch implosion.
Also, the fact that EA is putting key characters behind a paywall or unreasonable grind that have been part of the series from day 1 really puts the crosshairs on their game.
That being said, I hate all microtransactions a...
I'm sure its possible. However, I have a feeling you won't catch many whale$ if they don't have anyone to pounce over.
Well EA needs to acquire more studios or else they won't have any left to shut down in 3-5 years. :p
Seriously though I hope it turns out to be a good get with good games and sales. Titian Fall 2 was really hampered by a poor release window.
We do have a proper Fire Emblem coming next year.
Totally agree with the Star Fox with proper controls.
While I agree the Zelda DLC was a bit of a bummer you'd be crazy to say that you did not get your $60 worth with that game. If it felt hallow I'd agree that it'd be much more frustrating. Also, compared to Loot boxes which can go for up to $100 for a set I pay an additional $20 and I'm done for the DLC payments.
Nintendo is up and down with their DLC. Mario Kart 8 was a smashing value while Fire Emblem and Smash were a rip compared to what you got in the who...
How about "All of Switch's hits this year and upcoming blockbusters don't have lootboxes"
Glad it paid off for them. Making a game like this is a huge risk. June E3 interviews talk about them leaving jobs, second mortgages and tons of other life affecting risks. Despite what people may think of the game (which I love) its good to see people's efforts get rewarded.
If anything the delay of any announcement is good for Halo itself, or the opportunity for something new to showcase so they can take their time and make something special. Maybe next year...
I was just commenting the other day how the switch was ready for more 3rd party AAA support. Nice to see it ratch up.
Not sure how Rap rabbit can make the list when it was never funded. Bloodstained is a work in progress that has actually shown improvements. How about Project Phenoix with over a million raised and 4 years behind with nothing to show? Surprised this article is getting as much attention as it is.
Wow 0 up to 71 and climbing downs. I think you found the only idea that can unite everybody :p
Network prices should stay the same for each generation. That way you're paying an expected amount and don't get charged more once you've made the investment of getting the system.
Do they want more beefy hardware in the same form factor or just a more powerful home system that the other two already have? If they like and want the hybrid aspect I'd like to see them suggest how Nintendo could do that and keep it under $300.
Maybe I'm a little sour with Squares app and indy pricing but I have a feeling that it would be more than $20 as Square tends to overvalue these types of things out the gate and stacking all that above the DLC is a fairly big package. Take Lost Sphere and Octopath for example, they are being priced 50-60 each and even with high quality production its a hard sell as "old school" rpg's.
