    How powerful is the switch?

    But it would require me to go out and buy older hardware. Nintendo being Nintendo they don't discount their hardware either. Why would I go out and pay $300 for a dead system when they should be bringing their catalog forward? It can't be much work...they are porting Twilight Princess to...

    How powerful is the switch?

    I don't know, I hear a lot of games media people clamoring for VC. I care, because I haven't owned a Nintendo product since the original NES, so I missed out on Mario 64, Galaxy, Sunshine etc. and all of the Zelda games after The Legend of Zelda. I want to play those games, and I am not sure I...

    How powerful is the switch?

    I was watching Kinda Funny Games Daily the other day and they listed about a dozen titles coming to Switch, but they were mostly shovel ware. Seems like the Switch may be infested with Shovel Ware like the Wii. Hopefully there will be more games worth playing, and Nintendo could EASILY make...

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    Yes, the Snapmaws often have armor on their blaze cannisters. So do some of the chargers and perhaps a few more. The fire-bellowbacks have a cluster of blaze canisters in their belly and you have to break that armor for them to drop down. As for the trip caster, you need to use your focus, or...

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    You don't have to do NG+ or Ultra hard to get the Platinum. Both of those trophies are DLC. Later in the game, the blaze canisters on machines are protected by armor, use hard point arrows to break the armor then you can use a fire arrow to light them on fire. Also when you use elemental...

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    Well it looks like I was correct, but they did change quite a bit on that little connecting area. The way they talk about the new area though, calling it "The Cut" makes it sound like this is not Ban-ur. I wonder if Ban-Ur is supposed to be Canada, and considering this expansion doesn't take...

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    I found the first hour or 2 of the game to be rather boring and linear. It wasn't until the first battle against humans that the world opened up and the game came into its own. It got even better when you move into the Western portions of the map. The story doesn't really start revealing...

    EA shut down Visceral, makers of Dead Space and an upcoming Star Wars game

    Visceral is famous for the Dead Space games, and they were working on a single player third person Star Wars game authored by Amy Hennig, who wrote Uncharted 1-3. From EA's statement about the closure, it sound a lot like they want to make a game like Destiny and The Division. I like single...

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    Hunting animals for resources was without a doubt the most tedious part of the game. If every animal you killed dropped all of the parts that animal can provide, it might not have been so bad. I actually had more problems procuring parts from the fish. I hope they come up with a better system...

    Question about the Jak And Daxter series

    I've never played them, but from videos I have seen it looks like it is more combat driven. The later games are actually considered fairly hard.

    Uncharted The Lost Legacy Discussion.

    So I finished the game the other day. Most people were saying their play time was around 7-8 hours. I usually take longer to play games, and since this game had an open area to explore, my play clock came in around 10 hours. I would give the game a solid 7.5-8 out of 10. I think it lacked...

    Isn't the point of New Game + that you get to carry over your upgrades?

    Horizon Zero Dawn reviews looking good...

    Well...there goes my 100% trophies. I don't imagine that I will be taking the time to do an Ultra Hard New Game Plus run.
