Zelda game is a proper linear one

I’m about to finally start Assassin’s Creed Origins, and despite the good things I’ve heard about it, I’m worried that it will end up on my attention span’s cutting room floor as well.

part of facing the problem is helping contribute to the message send to those people that no, you don’t get to say those things with immunity. Society can, will, and will rightfully scorn you.

I know, but third parties have been fair-weather friends to Nintendo for a long time. That is, upfront support and positive vibes, and then dropping the platform within a year or so. So I’m cautiously hopeful Bethesda keeps it up, but wouldn’t be surprised if they (and especially any other team) turned up their noses…

I don’t think that’s how it works though - it’s not like paying to keep one show on prohibits spending on another. It’s also a matter of whether or not the rights holder(s) of the show want to extend their contract with Netflix, too.

Switch is a no brainer on this one.

I think you’re right, and I may have misunderstood it!

ah okay, glad I misread it!

but if you need ships to keep playing after the ship you’re in is destroyed, does that mean this is literally pay to play? Like, the game I bought will be unplayable unless I shell out cash for ‘lives?’

Yes - I’m tired of Gamers acting like certain games/genres deserve to be in some lesser-than ghetto, just for being what it is, rather than the quality of what they’re trying to do.

I’ve seen their headlines be WAY snarkier when delivering bad news, and the point over is this: they could write a headline that better reflects the situation, than make it seem like this is a unique issue to the Switch.

Yes and no - Rocket League accounts are handled in a way where you don’t have to sign into a third party account before you play. So you can play it on PS4, then on Switch, because the PS4 account isn’t related in any way to an account that another console would possibly need to see/access.

Paladins isn’t, afaik, and Fortnite on Switch isn’t either. Playing it on PS4 ‘poisons’ your account, making it impossible to use on Switch or XBO.

The headline sounds like it’s trying to play blame on Nintendo here, but it’s the other way around.

Either way, it’ll be a welcome mechanic to lay over the tried and true ‘weapon triangle”

A new Smash means a new (fleeting) campaign for Klonoa to show up alongside PacMan.

that’s just terrible!

I’m okay with that - I’d gladly take the Switch version since it plays with everything else (and it’s portable!) :D

That’s worrisome - I logged in once on PS4 (never played a match), and this morning I couldn’t get in on Switch. But it said ‘there was a problem finding a match’ - I could log in, see my account, etc., just couldn’t get into a game.

Ah, that I get! I had BotW on Wii U and was in no rush for a Switch. Only after seeing Mario Odyssey did I flip from ‘wait and see’ to ‘okay now I’ll get one.’ Which in turn, made it so games I would get on PS4/PC I end up opting for on Switch (usually indie stuff). Like, I wouldn’t buy a Switch for Hollow Night, but…
