I said it was an expansion of the idea of the Wii-U, which is EXACTLY that, they just botched the landing with that device. I feel like the Switch is what Nintendo wanted the Wii-U to be, except weren't able to fulfill that promise.
So, it's exactly an expansion of the Wii-U's ideas.
Those are good points actually. I know I was being overly negative, but I am looking forward to it. its just from a hardware perspective, even nintendo's "hits" lately have been hugely problematic. I hope they can change that, and a console where both 3ds and console style experiences exist in unison could be that change we need.
That said, while you may be right, I feel like part of the success of the 3ds lies in not having to render graphics past the ps2 era, which wiuld have to cut costs and allow more niche experiences like the sort atlus and Xseed specialise to thrive.
That was my first thought too. Btw, good to hear from you again.
Oh... I didn't even see that!
Yup. There's also heaps better looking and more intricate weapons in it too!
You're right. Part of me has to wonder too that maybe this has a lot to do with my expectations, hype, and possible burnout. When I learnt Miyazaki was back, I just assumed we'd go back to the way DS1 did things with bonfires and exploration. I thought that because Bloodborne was a different series with different narrative goals, that's why it had a hub and that DS3 would put things back the way they were before. I was extremely disappointed when I had to teleport from the Firelink Shrine bonfire, especially when it actually connects to the rest of the world.
I thought, fine, we have a hub, but the rest of the world will be super tightly interconnected, Again, I was disappointed the moment I finished the first area and had to be teleported to another level. The rest of the world is connected, but none of it really loops back around to other levels with maybe 1 or 2 exceptions.
I was also super keen for Dark Souls 3, which lead me to play a butt ton of Souls-like games in the lead up, like Salt and Sanctuary, the other Souls games, and even Lords of the Fallen. That possibly lead to a bit of a burnout with the series, but even when I feel like going back to the series, whenever I try to play DS3 I get bored and go back to DS1 or Bloodborne.
Also, with this game, I actually dislike the gameplay. I like Souls because of how it rewarded slow, strategic combat. This seems to actively discourage it. It plays more like Bloodborne and I dislike that a lot.
Alright man. Sorry.
I didn't finish it either. I should probably fix that by the end of the year.
Hopefully you do. Firewatch especially should be a bargain. If you have a PS4 it's on sale at the moment.
You don't have to mention your reasons, but which ones don't you want to touch?
Shadow Warrior 2 is one fo the best games I've played in a long time, and it's pretty cheap too at $39.99.
Oh man. This was the first EDF game I've played. I definitely need more. I found playing it while listening to Amon Amarth was an amazing experience.
