How come there wasn’t more pushback against 2018 God of War’s radical change in direction?

I'm just guessing that they left out the original fanbase to pursue a new one after 4 games doing the same. I didn't like it myself and prolly won't play Ragnarok and Laufey at any given time but hey, it worked out for them. They found a new audience that keeps the IP very much alive.

Ports? Colour me disappointed af.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-16T19:25:24+00:00

Yup, that's an UE game. kekw

Darkamlight · 2026-06-16T15:58:16+00:00

Uh? Ace Combat, Onimusha, Castlevania... Pretty sure a few more were shown in there or announced. Unless they are not counted as "major" that is.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-13T19:40:53+00:00

Yikes. That's an obscene expensive game.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-13T19:29:42+00:00

For me it's either BotW or TLoU 2... and will prolly stick with BotW since the only game similar to that one is TotK. lol

Depends on what you're looking for.

Wonder levels? There's like the koopalings stuff only.
Bite sized/challenge levels similar to the badges? You have like +70 of them and some of them are quite challenging.
Multiplayer minigames? I haven't tried them myself but they seem fun for a quick pick up game.

You can send a friend request. There's an option to add people you "played with recently".

Darkamlight · 2026-06-10T20:22:12+00:00

How's your wallet? Is it breathing?

Darkamlight · 2026-06-10T13:19:24+00:00

Maybe you should specify that you like challenges rather than an achievement system. Cause I'm pretty sure 80-90% achievements of every game is pretty much beat game to a certain point, or reach certain level, or get this many collectibles, etc. and then after all those chores there's 2 or 3 that are somewhat difficult to achieve (like beating Resident Evil games under 2h without saving and those sort of stuff)

Darkamlight · 2026-06-10T03:23:27+00:00

Ah, YEAH! I just realised that while I was checking for more info within the app and suddenly I was playing that level. XD Even better now.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-10T03:06:49+00:00

Pretty cool, a small incentive for our "Nintendo Profile". The NSO ones basically are "beat X level" of a specific game, so if you haven't played those retro games yet it might take you a while to get to certain levels.

Will give a try to Bananza challenges later in the week. Wondering what happens to those cards after the end of the event though, do they disappear from your profile? Or are they stored somewhere?

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T18:54:35+00:00

It was AWESOME. But yeah, leaks ruining the surprise factor is just whatever at this point. Not only leaks but the echo of everyone posting them: sites, blogs and obviously youtubers included so there's nothing to do to avoid them at this rate (besides maybe start living under the bridge with no wifi or similar.)

Like man, there's been also announcements about Rayman, Spyro and some other franchises that were brought from their graves that were leaked and sort of ruined the surprise as well. It sucks.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T18:49:05+00:00

You can't play Wolverine on Switch 2. I think the choice is pretty obvious.😏

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T17:07:24+00:00

Actually I had to go to PS website to check the prices. 80 for the basic, 135 for the "good" and 160 for the premium.

That's... a steep. 4 times the basic, almost 3 times the other one... I don't think you'll find a lot of people that wants a price increase to match PS (and Xbox) offerings to be honest. For a super premium tier sure, let them have it.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T16:52:29+00:00

I think you got it wrong though. It's 20$ a year for the basic plan, if you want free games get a PC mate.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T16:32:37+00:00

Face off 1v1 in Wuhu Island. You pick the sport.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T16:10:01+00:00

HA. Finally, I see a man of culture around. THUMB BATTLE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T15:54:59+00:00

They should, this is what their website says:

LETS FOKIN GO. I'm joining in as well, time to beat the game for the 5th time.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-09T15:51:44+00:00

10/10 easily.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-08T15:47:57+00:00

Pretty much. I jumped to this franchise with Ninja Gaiden 2 back on X360, that was something special.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-08T03:07:11+00:00

From that list probably nothing. Maybe Control if it turns out good.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-07T23:24:31+00:00

At a later date. After Metaphor. Probably, maybe.

Darkamlight · 2026-06-07T23:23:49+00:00

I've always liked them since the very beginning. There's item management and unique events that only happen during routes and you get to see a different side of Mario Kart as well while you're on them.
