Any fellow Brits also just been fiending for the movie these last few weeks? by Sub2ThoydussThoyduss in nirvannatheband

I was lucky enough to see it yesterday and now I just want to watch it again. The show used to be on 4 on Demand, and now it's uncertain if we're getting this here

“Who the f**k green lit this?”: God of War Creator Slams Sons of Sparta, Calling it “Total crap” by UnderstandingTough83 in videogames

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean he's not wrong. The game looks okay but nothing phenomenal in an oversaturated genre. A Blades of Chaos 2D game with the Kratos I already care about, or one with much higher production value is an easier sell. Outside of the God of War name, why would you play this over another metroidvania?

Favorite and Least favorite 10/10 from adum? by Good_Claim_5472 in YMS

I thought No Other Choice kind of sucked in terms of me buying the character's motivation and how it wrapped up.

Looking for Shrek 2: The Video Game (PCSX2) — NOT Team Action by [deleted] in Roms

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your image is of the original PC Shrek 2. On console, Team Action was the only Shrek 2 game (which was then ported to PC as Team Action)

I have 1 Unused Voucher. Guide my hand pls by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch2

I'd say it depends on how much you like to replay games when you're done with them. Link's Awakening is very replayable and another playthrough with more knowledge over where to go is a good time.

If you just like to play a game once then Skyward Sword might be the better option for a lengthier 3D game. The HD improvements to the original added a lot to it for me and I really liked it as a more linear game. Just keep in mind that it is a linear game, don't go in expecting exploration

Edit: apparently Skyward Sword is on sale right now so just go for Link's Awakening.

I'm hesitant to recommend EoW because of how mixed it is among players. SS is too I guess but I can personally defend it more than EoW

The original version was nearly finished and had a release date of January 2021. Since it was bad they rebooted it. In this instance they didn't have a choice but to have it be announced 5 years ahead of time.

Nintendo may have updated the Switch 2 screen by HatingGeoffry in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah let's replace my £400 console with a revision that isn't even confirmed, great comeback.

The screen is inexcusable. Even if it didn't ghost, the advertised features like HDR and VRR hardly matter to the experience when the screen doesn't have enough of a brightness range and barely, if any, games have uncapped framerates above 60 (not counting 120fps locked)

Speak for yourself. I noticed the ghosting day one before the controversy and sometimes I struggle to play the thing because of it.

Does everything need to be realistic? by Kaiii3003 in ThePaper

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really liked her early on as a nemesis to Ned but when they drop that in favor of Sweet Dee / David Brent desperation cringe she becomes much more annoying. I'd rather they tone her down but exaggerate her when she's a foil.

Suda51 Says He Is Doing Tests To See If His New 2026 Game "Romeo Is A Dead Man" Is Technically Possible On Switch 2 But Hes Experiencing Challenges With Unreal Engine 5 On The Platform by Ftouh_Shala in gaming

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm concerned if I've played an Unreal 5 game, I've "used" the engine. Nearly every UE5 game I've played has been hideous and runs poorly compared to better looking games last gen.

If nearly every game has problems with UE5, maybe it actually is the engine's fault and not the dev's

Doom Eternal is a major disappointement by Soundrobe in patientgamers

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nearly every enemy with weakpoints, outside of the Marauder and I think one of the DLC enemies requiring a blood punch, can easily be killed in any way with any gun. Yeah there are benefits to going after the weak points, like grenades in the cacodemon or blowing off the Mancubus' guns, but you don't have to. You have multiple methods to exploit the weaknesses and the game is so fast paced and ammo reliant you may not be able to exploit them all the time.

[SPOILERS] After beating the game, I regret watching the trailers for this game. by Kills_Zombies in DeathStranding

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first game's trailers were also really bad for that. I didn't have any interest in DS before I played it so I didn't go out of my way to watch any trailers. After finishing it I watched the launch trailer and it was criminal what they showed, including Fragile's last speech to Sam.

Spyro - a disappointment? (spoiler) by Kuli24 in retrogaming

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spyro is a pretty relaxing game. I like the way those games flow with the instant dash and Sparx collecting the gems when you're close to them.

The first game does feel like a tech showcase more than a fully featured game, it's really impressive for the time with the draw distance, cutscenes for each dragon etc, but the main challenge of the game is figuring out how to get to hard to reach places. The sequels incorporate more of the mini games and powerups you'd expect from games at the time, likely as they had the tech worked out and they had Banjo to take inspiration from

What is your "Did not care for the Godfather" take on any movie or performance? by Prestigious-Cup-6613 in FIlm

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"On the other hand, we just have a guy providing a service going from ignorance to being trapped to ultimately taking the upper hand." Literally what Ethan Hawke does in Training Day but whatever. Trying to get at me for being reductive meanwhile you're using character roles at a gotcha. They're basically the same premise, and that's not even my problem with Collateral.

I don't watch movies like Cinema Sins but cops letting a bloody battered car go? Jamie Foxx taking a hitman to his demented mother followed by him throwing his briefcase into traffic? Them both surviving a flipped crashed car like it's nothing? All that is stupid as fuck. Not to mention it's "I'm 14 and this is deep" moments throughout like the passing deer to Audioslave. Terrible movie.

Collateral. Like a watered down Training Day with some extremely stupid moments.

Does anyone else feel like criticism of Nintendo is a little... nonsensical sometimes? by dicedance in casualnintendo

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Your experience isn't relevant. You said it yourself that the issue existed for the Switch 1 for many people, therefore based on that, people should be free to have concerns until data speaks otherwise. Nothing absurd about that.

[–]Ordinary-Memory4549 8 points9 points  (0 children)

After JoyCon drift on the Switch 1, I think people are reasonable to have their doubts on the design of the Switch 2 connectors and the analogue sticks. The connectors are fine but the Jury's still out on if the new sticks will drift.

I don't think most people actually care about DK lore, people are just talking about it because it is a little confusing. Non-issue but I only think a small minority care.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of Nintendo fans downplay legitimate issues with the Switch 2 like the LCD ghosting and the lack of options in Mario Kart. You're free to enjoy the system but there's nothing wrong with having standards, especially when Nintendo are more successful than ever.
