There is so many threads contrasting opinions, but there is even more just insulting the company for stuff the poster doesn't like. There is reasonable ways to express concern or disappointment without insulting them. Sure you are upset, is understandable. There is lots of people who are, but seem like some threads are just straight up malicious hate rather than just expressing lack of interest.

As for it being a disappointment. I don't like some of the games on switch, but they have more stuff that I do so I'm not too upset. At first I was upset at switch during launch for lack of content, but now there is more. Port or not, if it helps sell the console or the games themself, then good. The fact switch is already selling like a yard sale, having popular games on it makes it more apparent. I do agree the system should have more exclusives as it gives more reason for the console to feel unique and special compared to others.

Still i don't see no one complaining about Xbox putting all their xbox games on pc, probably cause people love pc, not one complaint about that. Still they seem hellbent on selling xbox one x as the most powerful console for a expensive price. Meanwhile playstation has some good exclusive games, but what are opinions for? Just biased statements of what one person supports the most.

What Microsoft is doing with their Windows 10 integration is a huge step forward. I'd like unification across all platforms, but there's no business sense in that.

That's OP fucking fault for having high expectations, the same for the other people complaining. Nintendo showed what they had to show and they are not in charge of other people's feelings and expectations. You guys gotta learn how to deal with it.

https://blog.eu.playstation.com/201...colossus-changes-the-original-for-the-better/ Limp noodle physics, changes to controls, and changes to bow use do all change gameplay. That said, the game is a remake, not a HD upgrade so it gets included while the last of us does not. Ratchet and clank is a completely different game, Lost legacy is not a stand alone DLC. But the case could be made for first light.DOAX3 is a legitimate game as much as you may not like that.

Killzone or the order are not better than the top 3 released switch games listed. But are much better than knack, knack 2, Kirby, 1-2 switch, snipperclips, and arms, etc. Driveclub is great, especially with all dlc and multiplayer. That's why I scored the last guardian low.

I do play both. But I'm not going to pretend that the switch is doing well game wise, or that the quality of switch games is better than the PS4 offering. Odyssey was great, mushroom kingdom isnt as good as xcom 2, and chronicles 2 is the worst Xenoblade.


Man, I have the game. As I said before, the control changes are optional, and the broken limp noodle physics are way reduced but are still there. The game still plays like the original, and besides all the graphical revamp, there's absolutely anything new to the game.

Both Lost Legacy and First Light are "Stand-Alone DLCs", as other titles like AC Black Flag: Freedom Cry, FC3: Blood Dragon and Dishonered: Death of the Outsider for example. It isn't even "personal opinion", just google it.

Oh God, The Order is just bad. Beautiful as fuck, but bad. Killzone: SF is "alright", but it's worse than Killzone 2, 3 (and both were just "above average") and (the awesome) Killzone Mercenary. Driveclub is OK, a good game, but if I really want something great, I just go full Forza Horizon. And The Last Guardian, well, is just disappointing.

I can't say much about Mario Odyssey and Mario + Rabbids as I don't have any of them, but heard very good things about the two. The main thing about M+R is that it's like a simplified XCOM, and that's not necessarily bad, but maybe not attractive to XCOM fans. Xenoblade 2 on the other hand is an amazing game, even being the "weaker" of the three. You can't just say that "Killzone/The Order is better than Kirby" because they're completely different games. It's like to say that "Tetris is better than Final fantasy", it doesn't make any sense. Oh, but Knack is trash, I totally agree with you about that. 8D

Why is having a bunch of exclusives so important? All kind of lists are being made of ps4 versus xboxone versus switch.....
"1-2 switch" an exclusive.... well whoopdy-f*k*n*-doo..... shovelware... snipperclips? same!
Fact is that Switch main source of games is Nintendo itself and it is lacking GOOD 3rd party games and ports.... no exclusive list can change that.

and yes....perhaps the target group for the switch is not the same as ps4/xboxone/pc but having some good 3rd party games from the other greater companies (not indie) and not some pump-ed up port of a tablet game or another Monopoly game, is something everybody (also the ones who are happy with the current status) would like.
And that is no 'downing' on Nintendo (as someone stated somewhere above) but just a reality....

my two cents again (and still loving Nintendo games)

even when nintendo gets third party games they sell like crap eally, look at the GC it got alot of third party games and yet ps2/xbox sold much more of them and gc barely sold them.

even wiiu got some great third partys like assasins creed 3,4 and even splinter cell blacklist(wich is the best version btw with best graphics) and yet sold like crap.

nintendo consoles only sell exclusives really, even if the switch can handle the games 3rd partys think there is no point since it will sell badly, look at last gen remasters wich would run perfectly on switch like red faction,burnout paradise and such there is no technical limitations to those games and yet they didnt end up remastered on the switch.

Man do you really think it takes but a few months to make a AAA 1st party game?

Sony fans expect 5 years or even a decade for those.

Switch is out for only an year.

And to a console that was deemed the last nail in Nintendo coffin it's pretty much the spark that's igniting the flame inside many gamers. Most 3rd party developers want to jump aboard the switch train.

It's far from a disappointment it's one of the fastest selling consoles in video game history.

Good point.... I underestimated (forgot) the number of years to build an AAA game....fair enough. Perhaps I am to spoiled :-)

Probably gonna be the same stage with the same character assets and move sets with minor updates. I failed to notice the difference between Smash4 and smash Ultimate it might be an "ULTIMATE" port.

If you can't see a difference do me a favor and don't drive, because you're obviously legally blind.
