Sonic Racing Transformed was good, although it was not as party-friendly as MK8.

I think it's fine that they're selling MK8 at full price on Switch, because it's worth the money if you never played it on Wii U, but the lack of any discount for existing MK8 owners means I myself will not re-buy it. They have it on record that I bought the game and all the DLC, so if they can't work out an upgrade deal then I guess it's no sale, that's how life goes sometimes.

Hey I get your point but BoI is literally the worst possible game to use to argue it because unlike Skyrim or Bioshock or other games that were remastered, people that owned the original BoI on PC did not get Rebirth for free.

IIRC you did get a significant discount for owning the original BoI, though, to support VideoGames's point.

We all could probably post examples all day long but the point is there's an industry trend (not standard) that when not followed irks some people. I don't mind rebuying MK8 even though I own the original and all the DLC for $60 because it means I can play it on the road, but I wish it were cheaper more than I wish video games in general were cheaper.

so now platforms like steam and psn dont do those calculations and just do arbitrarily lower prices/sales? what even is your point here.

You're trying to argue there's an objective, correct price for a game. I'm saying that's idiotic and you're wrong

Paging Dr Tim Whatley or anyone who has NTM golf experience to offer some tips.

I don't mind a challenging game, but:

1) not really a golf pro.

2) I've been conditioned for LOTs of hand holding in other golf games.


Especially could use tips on reading the green.

can't offer much tips besides go with ya gut and you can't trust the white arrow to know how far you'll hit the ball, in fact its probably better to under swing overall.

as for the green its actually simple and forgiving in this and just kinda point and shoot, i don't know how the Grain read works either, its pretty obtuse.

Also, Sorry to Videogames for making you work hard in this thread! I'll try to calm down some :ohdear:

Very specifically it was a 33% discount for preordering the game if you had the BoI + WotL.

One thing to note about swings:

If your club says it will hit for 200y, hitting the 100% power will pretty much get it there after roll, and hitting low will give you more lift, which can affect distance and how the wind makes it move. If you need more power than 100%, instead of changing club, experiment with going beyond 100% on power. This has greater advantages in regards to things like wind. Practice them on the first few holes of each course, and everything will pretty much make sense.

On the green, grain seems to have more effect when the ball is slowing down or just moving slow in general, so adjust your trajectory accordingly. You'll eventually feel out how hills work.

Yup! I never got it on WiiU cause I hear the load times were crummy. They still aren't amazing, but it's a goofy fun Lego game. It feels like FPS drops a lil in Handheld mode. Stupid goofy writing.

Also, now that we've actually played the game what do we think the dlc is gonna be. New map feature sounds like it could be a new collectible or type of structure to find, and a new dungeon sounds not great if it's gonna be essentially another Divine Beast. Those were by far my least favorite parts of the game. New game plus or hard mode sounds good as hell.
