  • On that page, click "Real Bombchu" under Majora's Mask. That's the enemy being discussed. The blue and yellow one is an item. Real Bombchu appear around the canyon entrance in Termina Field during the day.

  • Just because Don was bad, doesn't make Phil good. He did a lot right at the start, but in the last few years he has basically driven Xbox as a brand into the ground. He's the one that has pushed "everything is an Xbox" which basically means they have no product. Even the Xbox handheld is just a product from a different company with an Xbox logo slapped on.

    He also pushed the primary focus of the company into a subscription service, rather than being a platform to play games. Not to mention, Microsoft has spent the last couple of years buying up a ton of competitors, only to shut down a ton of them and lay off the devs. Ultimately, I think he puts on this persona of being a "gamer" like you. But it's clear by the actions of the company that he's just another suit destroying the industry for profit.

  • I have one and I can tell you that even though it's not an OLED, the screen is not bad in the slightest. It's really big, super sharp, and the high refresh rate just makes anything that takes advantage of it look fantastic. The battery is more or less the same as the Switch 1. It's also pretty comparable to my Steam Deck. It really just depends on the game. I tend to keep a charger nearby and I haven't had it come close to dying on me yet. While some of the joycons may have an issue with drift, I am sure plenty of them won't. I haven't had an issue with mine yet, and I can say they are a massive step up from the Switch 1 joycons. It is definitely pricey and that is certainly a valid concern. There will still be plenty of physical carts released, that really depends on what the developer wants to do. Nintendo definitely has that strong anti piracy stance and that does have the potential to cause issues. But if you don't use it for anything other than legitimately purchased games, it's extremely unlikely that you'll run into any issues caused by it.

  • For what it's worth, the devs who worked on this remake talked about their personal experiences with the original game in the 20 min reveal on youtube. Probably good to mention this is not made by Bethesda. Some of them mentioned putting over 10000 hours in the original game. They also talked about what a privilege it was to work on the game. To me, it sounds like they had plenty of passion for it. But there's nothing wrong with you holding out for Skyblivion if you'd rather play that. Respect for you at least having a measured take on it.

  • People are complaining because Bethesda didn't launch the game with official mod support. Meaning it doesn't have a "mods" option on the main menu. Bethesda hasn't said they have a problem with mods or will go after anyone that uses them. But everyone is acting like this means Bethesda suddenly hates mods. Skyrim launched without official mod support too, but somehow it managed to be a successful game on top of having a massive modding community. People just want to complain for the sake of complaining.

  • God so many people on here act like Todd Howard personally killed their child. It's fucking insufferable. You guys don't crucify other companies like this when it comes to mods. This only happens with Bethesda who is realistically one of the only companies that has supported mods in the mainstream. Games can also be good without mods. Get over yourselves and just enjoy a fucking game.

  • I think it probably would have been the biggest success of the 3 games. But you're also probably right that it likely would have been the end of the series. Bethesda making them into 1st person open world games was probably the best thing that ever happened to the series. At least in terms of achieveing widespread success.

  • I really wish we had gotten a full release of Dinosaur Planet. Starfox Adventures is still pretty good, but it definitely lost a lot of unique ideas with the change. Not to mention, it probably affected Nintendo's perception of Starfox as a whole. Mucked up a cool game and damaged a franchise with that one. And I say this as a fan of Adventures.

  • Star Wars 1313 is a big one for me. Same with Battlefront 3, both would have been amazing. RIP og Lucasarts, you were a real one.

    Also, Retro Studios has had a few concepts that sounded awesome. They were planning a few Zelda spinoffs I would have really liked to see. Heroes of Hyrule and the Sheik project looked cool as hell.

  • Honestly maybe the best part of this is that when they add shit like Coloseum and XD to the service, it will probably bring down the cost of those physical games a little bit. I thought I'd never end up getting them in my collection because they were just too expensive to justify.

  • Well that's pretty much how NSO started. It sucked at first with a tiny lineup of NES titles. Now there are tons of games and they're still adding. I think it makes sense that they would hype up people with additional games added over time. I'm fine with that if I'm still paying $20/ year for NSO. I get enough value out of that as is, and more games at the same price is added value. But I absolutely agree that they should have started with more than 3 games.

    Admittedly though, when I first commented on this, I hadn't seen the new prices on Switch 2 yet. Now, I'm just as pissed as anyone else. I won't be buying the system at all unless they drop their prices. And if they don't, then I guess I will just stick to playing elsewhere.
