That’s fair, but as someone that has not played the game, you need to provide some specifics otherwise it just gets lost within a lot of praise for the game (which I’m not sure I will like).
I do, but I see that it’s a preference thing. However, the whole game/story felt to me like it was a passion project. I feel like it’s a gamble at best whether or not whoever hasbro finds to do it will be able to give it the same dedication.
It wouldn’t have gotten so much hate at release if it was a remaster, but it was a remake that looked like a remaster, which is not acceptable when you’re talking about a 20-year gap. They made the right move, which is what’s so surprising to me.
For the demo, I really liked it. I thought the writing was good as it set the atmosphere. Not to spoil anything, but the first guy you meet… it tells you a lot about things lol. HE BROKE SO MANY RULES! (iykyk) The dialog options seem like they could lead to something interesting down the road. Understanding the various characters and what they do seems like it could be an engaging loop while you level and modify their stats. After playing the demo, which is pretty short, I fully plan to pick this up when it’s released.
Lol, obviously it’s terrible that business are pulling out of the US, and in the next few months we will begin to learn what the 1970s were like, but I’m just glad I already have mine
I am surprised that they didn’t just do away with it entirely. I don’t think it would have hurt their bottom line. This is somehow worse IMO. They’ll charge you more money for physical media that doesn’t even have the entire game on it. It’s like they want people to know that they’re being slapped in the face.
I think we should be asking the question the otherway around as some games on PC handhelds could be cheaper and possibly run better, but that’s just my opinion
Considering this console comes after the Deck and the other handhelds, shouldn’t be the other way around?
Btw to answer the question:
Few exclusive titles (for now)
Not great performance to some last year triple A game (like cyberpunk 2077)
The damn price of the games
The answer is: Yes. Any decently performing handheld right now is a better alternative. RIGHT NOW. In a year, with more exclusive titles and ( let’s hope) better game prices, who knows.
Yeah. I’m 100% who Nintendo is trying to lure with this launch, and honestly I’m a little ticked off about it–I’ve really wanted Metroid Prime 4 for a long time, but now it’s coming out and I have to choose between playing an inferior version or shelling out over $500 to play the good version. ($450 for the system, $80 for the game, and compatible SD cards in sizes larger than the internal storage of the new system don’t even exist yet.) So I’m inclined to wait, and see if there are enough good games to justify the Switch 2 purchase eventually, but they’re going to count that as poor initial sales for Prime 4. It might kill the franchise. Replaying some of my switch titles with upgraded performance might have been enough to motivate me to make the move, but they’re also going to charge extra for that. That’s…not great. Nickle-and-diming on top of a much more expensive system with even more expensive games is just ugly.
It definitely has me thinking about getting a PC handheld instead. A lot of what I was picturing was second-screen gaming while watching TV or YouTube, and the Deck is definitely a competitor in that space. There are a bunch of people saying that “oh, the reason you buy a Nintendo system is to play Nintendo exclusives,” which, yeah, that is a selling point, but for the original switch, just being a portable system that played modern games was also a selling point. That second factor is absolutely going up against the Deck, and frankly losing, because Steam has everything. Switch 2 has to go all in on the exclusives, and that’s a much tougher sell, especially since they don’t have the gold mine of good games nobody had played that they had from the Wii U to pad the release schedule.
Maybe they’ll amaze me, but I see them being very unhappy with the revenue from this console in a couple of years, and casting about for stupid shit to blame. And I think they’re gonna blame Metroid. It’s not Metroid, guys. Metroid is great. It’s the pricing.
Sucks and I definitely remember (15-ish years ago?) thinking that was such a perfect fit for one of my all time favorite vibes games (with okay-good gameplay). But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
Which is the best case scenario when it isn’t a music group that genuinely loves games (shout out to Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard). As opposed to whatever nonsense happens with tv shows like Scrubs.
But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
I wonder if they'll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it's that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.
The first game I played that really wanted to talk about racism and it decided to spend it’s time saying is “black people can be bad too”. I didn’t think much of it then and I don’t now.
