@EddieGallad You should see NintendoLife whenever Nintendo rightfully sues anyone. You’d think the comments there were from people who hated Nintendo more than anything.

@AhmadSumadi That is probably the most levelheaded and spot on thing I’ve ever read on here. Sure, I’ll make snarky comments occasionally if I don’t necessarily like something. But I don’t just go onto articles throwing fits if it’s about something I dislike. At the end of the day, we’re all gamers, to some degree, and have games that are for us or things that aren’t. For me it’s JRPGs or mobile games, for someone else it’s getting a Platinum Trophy in Call of Duty. To each our own.

I’ve never played these games, but it’s a shame to see a long-ish standing series end. Especially since it didn’t even get like a 10th anniversary game? But at the same time, I think it’s good when a series actually finds a place to reach its conclusion; Uncharted, Jak & Daxter, etc.. It feels refreshing to me, since most series seem to go on forever even when they’ve run their course like Assassin’s Creed.

I love heavy metal. And I don’t even know who these people are?

I was wondering just last week when there would be any news for a new game from Naughty Dog. But I don’t know, I kinda like plots in games. I can enjoy some that don’t have any, sure. Atelier games I like, and some have rather loose plots until later I. The story. Or just things like Mario Party. But when me and my brother played The Lost Legacy, it was just amazing how great it was story wise. Curious to see how this pans out…

@TrickyDicky99 People just love their trophies. I mean sure, some are fun to try getting. But people just take them too seriously in my opinion.

@NEStalgia Ah. I think I understand it now. That’s actually kinda cool. I honestly had zero idea what it was until you explained, thanks a lot!

And as for the FPS, I was playing the game with my brother. He is highly autistic, so to him it looked weird, when he pointed it out I did notice how much quicker things tended to move. And it was only like two minutes in. But to him it was a bit nerve wracking. I don’t play games a whole lot, and mostly play Switch in handheld mode or even mobile games, so that may be why it was different for me.

@Medic_alert Welcome to the internet! Where everyone bitches about what they despise! Which is EVERYTHING. I have plenty of things I hate or really do not care to see ever. But I keep it to myself. Or will say it’s not for me, and that I’m not knocking opinions.

So this “ray tracing” shtick everyone raves about adds reflections to mirrors? Pretty sure games could do that before…Either way I am looking forward to this game. And I’d gladly play in Quality mode at 30FPS. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy at 60 honestly just did not look good to me, like the movements were just exaggerated and way too fast. I really don’t see how people enjoy it? Not knocking what you like, it’s just not for me.

Another day, and other Ubisoft headline. Anyone else starting to think they just aren’t going to last much longer? I honestly feel they either won’t be by the the end of the year, or probably close up shop after AC: Shadows is released. If it even gets released.

@Fishnpeas Agreed!! I don’t understand why everyone just has to take those stupid review sites to know if they’ll buy a game or not. Just play the damn game and make your own opinion!

@DETfaninATL Agreed! The Lizard was tough, but so much fun! And just swatting everyone away as Venom was great!

@naruball My only real complaint is the story being too short and pacing getting bad. I could not care less about reviews.

@KingPev I actually liked the side quest of finding the girl’s grandfather. Felt exactly like something Spider-Man would do. And I didn’t have any gripes about his Symbiote voice. But I do agree with some of your other points.

Started off really good! Then a few days in me and my brother noticed we were 85% done with the story, and we were doing all sorts of side missions and pacing ourselves well. Not to mention the later part of the game was basically a rip off of Web of Shadows…It was fun though, I’m not denying that. Just a lackluster story.

@throwmeaname I feel people invest too much stock in going off reviews. If you want to know how a game is, just play the damn thing. I’ve seen my brother enjoy and have a lot of fun in games that are negatively reviewed. Hell, I enjoyed Sonic 06 with him! The only thing I do care about in reviews is if a game is truly glitchy enough that it actually makes in unplayable.

@McTwist Right? Like why are those the only things that people seem to care about anymore? Why can’t we just enjoy playing a nice fun game? I just got a Game Boy Color, I could care less about all this high resolution high FPS stuff.

@Savage_Joe Those were the days, that’s for sure.

@PuppetMaster Exactly! What I hate is when games are advertised now with DLC BEFORE they even come out. To me it just feels greedy and scummy. If all that is planned, just put it straight into the base game. It’s actually nice to have a full big budget game for once, even if it wasn’t exactly what I wanted story-wise.

@LowDefAl But how else are they supposed to gets clicks for articles?

@QiaraIris I actually like the idea of a big AAA game NOT getting DLC for once. Just shows that someone actually made a fully finished product for once, updates aside.

@MrMagic Exactly, where are those numbers!

@Jaz007 Or how much it even accounts for some of that silly shovelware people buy out of curiosity that’s under $5. That definitely adds to things a lot I think.

I’d still rather have physical. Granted the only systems I have are a 3DS, 360, Vita, and GBC. I’m thinking of getting a PS4, but would still rather have physically. You can get used games cheaper year round, rather than having to wait for a sale on the digital store. My brother is the same way, having a massive physical game collection, but will buy digital Switch games at when they run massive sales or for games that aren’t available physically. I really don’t like all digital anything. My internet is lousy, and don’t want to have to deal with waiting forever to download an entire game. DLC or updates are fine, but it’s too much of a headache for me.

@MeatyVeg I never saw problems or glitches. Nor crashing. I remember hearing it was bad at launch, but had zero issues gameplay wise from what I saw. Guess we were just lucky.

@WhiteTrashGuy I remember how it seemed like it was really good. I don’t have it, but I watched my brother play and took a few turns myself. Then all of a sudden I noticed how it said we were like 85% done with the story. It was barely starting, and then we were at the end?! I also felt the last part of it just completely ripped of Web of Shadows. I was so enjoying this game, then was completely put off and just irritated at how lousy it was…

@DonJorginho Exactly. I don’t remember it being buggy or anything just the occasional glitch like any game.

So no real changes to Great Ape Vegeta unless you already make it easy? Is that what I’m reading? Guess that’ll just make me more determined! I’ll try again when my brothers done with his current game to try again.

Ah. Oh well. The game was fun, I will admit. But the story was way too short and the ending was lousy. I’d be interested in maybe seeing some more suits in DLC. I don’t remember the game being super buggy at launch though?

I played a bit with my brother the first few days. It’s a lot of fun! But that damn Great Ape Vegeta!! We mostly just do battle modes though, since he has every Gogeta unlocked. Hopefully we get back to it soon.

@rjejr That’s exactly how my brother uses it! I think it’s super convenient.

@Dalamar While I so enjoy some things like Uncharted, Japanese games are what I prefer, especially Gust! Actually, now that I think about it, when I DO look for games, I gravitate towards Japanese ones. AA RPGs are my favorites.

@UltimateOtaku91 Yep! That’s where you can find among the best games! JRPGs, visual novels, Nintendo in general. Japanese games are my most preferred to play or look for.

I think it mostly all depends what you’re looking for. Yearly Assassin’s Creed, or Call of Duty just feel excessive. People are at least getting tired of AC, feeling it’s all the same. Then you have yearly releases in things like Mario, which covers multiple genres, then you have a new Neptunia every year that tries its hand at new genres each times now. While I’ll admit I’m getting tired of that and just want a new mainline game, there’s definitely creativity in how they tackle genres. I feel there’s definitely creativity out there if you know where to look. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is definitely one of the most creative games I’ve seen lately.

Quality is also a huge factor. As I said, people are clearly burnt out on Assassin’s Creed. There are a lot of Pokémon Fans who say there is a huge decline in quality and were tired of the yearly releases.

There is plenty of creativity, you just need to know where to look. But then again, I’m really not much of a gamer, and really picky about what I’d be interested in. I’d prefer smaller studio games outside like Nintendo or Tomb Raider/Unchatered, and things like Dragon Ball, so I’m mostly going off what I’ve seen lately.

Why do I get the feeling it’ll flop after one game and they’ll abandon their dream of a trilogy…? Although seeing it’s the same company as Hitman, they might very well succeed!

I do think it’s great they are reworking the statue instead of outright canceling it. I don’t think many companies would do that?

@Northern_munkey I honestly think this will either be the best selling game in the series, or the worst. Just so much drama and headlines with it nearly every week, it’s definitely got its name out there. Even for an Assassin’s Creed game.

@Boxmonkey Apparently they think this is what people want…

@HotGoomba Oh, absolutely! I agree that’s way better than the game.

@DennisReynolds Yeah. I highly doubt it’ll be canceled myself. Stranger things have happened. It just feels like this game cannot catch a break, but like you said it’s most just race related rants against this game.

@Nepp67 If it keeps up, I wonder if they’ll just outright cancel it? I know they have done a lot of work on it already. But with the delay, all the controversies and all, will it ever seen the light of day?

@HotGoomba I’m honestly waiting for the release to see how well it sells.

And yet, another game company facing layoffs. This is what, the third in just two days? Are we really headed towards another crash or will things just continue into a massive a downward spiral?

“All-Star Cast”? Aside from those two, I don’t know who any of these people are. Guess I’m at that age…

I never really thought about that. My brother bought the Ultimate Edition for Sparking Zero for the bonuses. But was the three days early part of the cost? I personally don’t have any systems newer than a Vita, so I just buy my games used. Still, I do agree that these weird pricing strategies when most games lately seem to need some big patch to properly become playable.

@gollumb82 You really do learn something new everyday. Thanks! I’ll have to play it again when I can.

@gollumb82 Did it give a stat bonus though? I don’t remember anything happening. Unless it doesn’t notify you…

@CielloArc Bandai always gave me one of those “too big to fail vibes”, not saying that they can’t make flop games, but in a sense they’ll suddenly face big financial problems. At least in their games department.

@Blaze215 Oh! I’m not bad mouthing Dragon Ball by any means! I’m a huge fan of it with my brother. I meant things like Kaisen or things that just suddenly pop up out of nowhere and have an immediate massive fan base. I like things like Dragon Ball because they’ve been around longer and had to work to build up reputations. But that’s just me personally.

Hell yes! I’ve been waiting to see how well this sold. I had a chance to play it a bit, and had a lot of fun.
