Would be cool if they just did a different art style that’s more suited to the hardware but I doubt they’d go that far.

Speaking of, I don't own a ps4 or a Windows pc and probably never will, is ff xv pocket edition worth even looking at?

I picked up A Robot Named Fight a few days ago and it's really good. Most of the roguelite metroidvania nonsense games I've played tend to just ignore the metroid side of things, which is why I'm happy Fight places an emphasis on finding traversal upgrades and unlocking new parts of the map.

It's on sale right now and I'd definitely recommend picking it up.

Not really, no. I mean it is the plot of XV in slightly more comprehensible form but its not 20 dollars good.

Especially in a world where XV will absolutely be a combination of backwards compatible/enhanved on PS5, Xbox (u)

I was scrolling past posts rather quickly to catch up with the thread and this one caught my eye. Good album, good game.

Turns out you should not fight the dragon at level 46 on hard mode.

Fortunately you can go to the expansion area by then, and it seems much more well-designed anyway.

In my experience Witcher 3 is really, really well optimized (at least on PC, my laptop ran it at a solid 60fps, 1080p with decent bells and whistles on at the time) for how great it looks so I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to squeeze a decent looking port out.

A slim USB-connected DVD drive is a fantastic thing to own for the odd occasion when you have to use physical media, especially when they're literally the size of CD cases now.

And I frankly still can't process that they're that small now and still full DVD-burner-speed-capable. :corsair:

Nintendo’s reasoning is that, with global leaderboards, the matchmaking for competitive play would be compromised if you could play with friends. That limitation also extends to co-op play as well despite those not being leaderboard driven.

I mean I'm lucky (I guess) in that I didn't have any plans to play multiplayer anyway, I much more enjoy making stages and seeing people play them, but this is still real dumb

That makes no sense whatsoever.

I would also be really surprised if Witcher 3 was coming to switch considering it never came to Xbox 360 or ps3. I'd buy that thronebreaker spinoff if it came to switch though.

Amusing that their solution to the question "How do we prevent players colluding to exploit global leaderboards?" is to not let them play together at all, and not to just disable/have a separate leaderboard for friends.

Also they're prioritizing the hardcore fans over more casual fans which seems out of character for Nintendo?
