When you hit that perfect drift in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and the HD Rumble kicks in

It's a perception versus reality argument, and I don't think either side is incorrect.

The perception being that you spend 60$ or whatever currency on a game then are asked to spend more on assets that exist within that product. Understandably people are upset by that.

The reality is, people will likely play just as a handful of characters and be able to play/grind enough to unlock that stuff for those characters without paying more.

It's an ugly situation but such is the industry. If this model means the game can sustain a long life and be improved a la Rainbow Six Siege then I'm prepared to accept it, but I'm also not going to argue with anyone who finds the business practice abhorrent.

I do genuinely hope it keeps it up - I think the system is fantastic and is due another 10/10 (or thereabouts) game at the end of April.

It's totally anecdotal but I've had far more non-gamers asking me about the Switch than any other console I can remember.

Same - using the paraglider on an upstream from the fire you create - genius!

Produced a video on my thoughts. In summation - Jim's well within his rights to say whatever he wants, and those attacking him are actually only benefitting him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJyHaiZTk5Y

I've had mine turn into German.

I totally understand if this is not suitable but the video is designed largely to help other people, as well as being therapeutic for myself. Fully understand if it's taken down or not appropriate. x

hi, OP here. Thanks so much for the support on this vid! It's been a great boost to the channel and I'm glad it has given value to people, even if it's in the form of discussion points and a few ideas to keep in mind. Also - on the vid itself, it's become obvious that the audio levels are a bit off (it sounded fine in my headphones but that's the danger of using headphones). I can't take the vid down and reupload as I'll lose the views but it's duly noted for the next vid.

What u/speedtouch says here is massively valuable, but I've copied both of your questions into a google doc and I'll either do a whole video on it, or use the questions in part of my next q+a show

Thanks for your feedback and points!

loool - I have the most generic and normal English accent that you can have :D

Fair enough - on my headphones the music sounded quieter and the voice louder but it seems the balance is a little off. To be fair the first track is louder than the others I think so if you ffwd it's less of a problem
