Did you opt out of them?Drove 13 miles to take my mom to hospital for a minor thing.
Remembered that the glass pyramid from Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty exists here.
So Nintendo is selling Hogwarts Legacy for the Switch 2 for $42. Or I can buy the Switch 1 version for $12 then upgrade for another $10.
I would have bought it.
That's a great deal, though
Thats why I prefer black controllers.
Anybody excited for Indiana Jones on the Switch 2?
Well that was a fun day of annoucements. Silksong is coming!!! Lego batman is the Arkham game we need. RE9 trailer was a waste of time, more info at TGS. Onimusha looks cool, so does NG4. New Black Myth, yay. Even CoD looked really good, thats an interesting campaign. I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.
Kirby looks so much better than MKW, no wonder they hid it. Never doubt Sakurai. Still not sure ill be getting another racing game.
Yeah, Kirby looks cool but I'm not up for another racer. It has an actual release date but nothing at all for Metroid.
kirby wtf? No.
I want it, if its not a game key cards.Yeah, pretty good day of announcements yesterday.
I thought Vader was being ironic.
Hells no.They should at least load 64gb on the cart to save our storage space.
I've often talked to characters in RPGs and been mildly annoyed at the canned and limited set of questions you can ask them.
What if each character used AI and you could just talk to them via an app?
It would flesh out the world and make things feel more real.
I think however voice recognition needs to improve as it currently misheard words, and you have to repeat yourself a lot.
And I was actually amazingly impressed by how it looked on handheld.
I haven't upgraded it yet, this is the Switch 1 version played on switch 2 screen. And usually that means bad image quality as the portable sw1 games run at sub 720p.
But it looked decent, had good image quality. Im perplexed as I've seen lots of sw1 footage of it and it always looked like a blurfest.
Metroid Prime 4 is rated T by the ESRB. It's happening!
Yet has a smooth frame rate and looks acceptable to play, better than sw1 Witcher 3.
Now downloading the sw2 upgrade. You literally just go back to the eshop and sw2 version is suddenly £8.50 or $10.
You don't update a patch, you literally just download the sw2 version.
Also there's a Daamon X Machina titanic scion demo out.
Like the Wild Hearts demo, visually not anywhere near what Cyberpunk shows the system can do.
Blurry Switch 1 level textures. Most devs don't seem to be using DLSS.
Side note I watched an Xbox Series X Phantom Liberty video earlier, although it was higher resolution, without DLSs the backgrounds had notable shimmering and dithering that isnt apparent in the lower res sw2 version.
Anyhow in Damon X the mech designs, character designs, music, story and game world are all very Xenoblade and it looks like a game I might enjoy.
However the opening of the game suffers from menus popping up continually. A piss poor method of introducing people to game mechanics.
Bewildering split menu screens.
The game doesn't feel or control like a mech, it wants to have more DMC like combat but the controls don't feel responsive enough for that.
It's a rough opening, but once you land planet side it feels better.
If there was a better introduction to the controls and systems this would leave a far better impression.
I had to stop playing as Hogwarts 2 wouldn't download while I wslas playing it.
Side note: Hogwarts Legacy sw2 for $20? Sweet deal.
Yup. That's how these $10 or free next gen upgrades work on PS5 too.
