Yea, based on what I've seen online/videos, I'd have to agree with this review. Not even worried about the bugs or glitches, it's the core gameplay and how broken it is that led me to uninstall it. It's hard to justify a pre-order these days, unless it's a well known nintendo title imo. Aside from their sports titles, they usually deliver on day 1. Such a shame.
Edit: honestly, it makes me just rather play Fallout
Definitely going to uninstall and wait it out. I wasn't completely sold on it anyway, I was only going to try since I have gamepass.
I can deal with the glitches, visual performance issues, bugs, etc. But based on what I've read and seen online, I'm more concerned about the actual gameplay itself. Very low weight limit, scarce resources, no fast travel, unforgiving combat, enemies seeing/hearing you when you're not in sight, silly npc interactions, among some other stuff. Doesn't sound like I'd have too much fun with it unfortunately so I'm out. Hopefully people have a good time with it who are interested.
I don't think I ever played spyro. Maaaaaybe I rented it at one point as a kid, but I can't recall. Either way, I'll check this out when I'm done with halo 2
@Tasuki I got a little more than halfway thru and I enjoyed it enough to keep playing. However, there's one chapter that's "supernatural/hallucinogenic" and I couldn't wait to finish it. Not because it was scary, but because it was just an annoying and frustrating chapter imo. Long story short after spending a good amount of time finishing it, i thought it had saved since I was back at the safe house and it didnt. Somehow it didn't auto save at the very end of that chapter and I would've had to replay the entire thing. No thank you. So I just un-installed and I'm keeping on with halo 2.
I'm buying dragon quest at some point but not sure when. I just started up M&L and that'll be a 40hr game. Ill be trying Metal Slug Tactics after Halo 2. Then indy is coming next month. Maybe ill toss it on the ol Santa WL
I did just finish Ash Vs Evil Dead last night and that last stage was tough as nails. I'm trying to decide if I want to try out the Halloween game now on RetroRealm arcade.
Depends on the state of the game on switch. If it runs well enough I'll grab it there for the portability. If it's only on xbox or xbox and ps, i go with xbox since i don't own a ps.
Almost solely dawn of sorrow and wind waker HD. I may fire up my xbox for something but not sure yet. But I'm trying to decide what else to play once i beat either one. There's a bunch coming out this month I want to dabble in too.
@Boldfoxrd I first beat it on the nes classic edition without using save states. Ever since I beat it "fairly," I've been wise enough to abuse save states. It's honestly a much more enjoyable experience if you use save states and I can recommend it. Otherwise, you'll be ripping your hair out like I did the first time I beat it.
1 issue among Many. The bigger issue is not even having many first party releases this year. Hellblade 2 being the only one thus far is the major problem. If they'd have 4 or 5 releases already this year 30fps, I'd be stoked!
If it's only CoD and not indy, it's a pretty abysmal year unfortunately. Less and less am I playing my xbox and shifting back towards my switch. Indy is my most anticipated Xbox game by far so if it's only hellblade 2 and cod, ouch.
Nintendo World Championship, and Live a Live. I think I'm going to fire up the ol wii u and play Wind Waker tonight. On xbox, I'm kind of at a standstill as I haven't decided what to play yet
Got a bunch on my WL. Kind of hoping for RE4R to hit 50% off or alone in the dark to hit a deep discount. Other than that? Baldurs gate 3, like a dragon infinite wealth, or dragons dogma 2

@Tasuki haven't gotten to it yet but apparently all consoles got a nice patch to make them run much better. So I'm sure it'll be fine.

Re: Poll: A Year Later, What Do You Think Of Alan Wake 2 Overall?
One of the better games last year for sure. Scared the crud outta me quite a few times.

Crow Country, Ash Vs Evil Dead. I've considered buying RE4R but I'm not sure yet.

Re: Roundup: Here's What The Critics Think About Visions Of Mana From Square Enix
Can't decide if I should grab day 1 or just wait for a sale.
Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (August 26-30)
Waiting for visions of mana reviews first.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24-25)
@Boldfoxrd yep. Same here for me. First time was without save states for zelda 1. I use save states now.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 24-25)
Mostly Wind Waker HD, and Zelda II. Haven't decided on anything else.
Re: Talking Point: Does Microsoft Have A '30FPS' Problem With Its Xbox Series X|S Output?
1 issue among Many. The bigger issue is not even having many first party releases this year. Hellblade 2 being the only one thus far is the major problem. If they'd have 4 or 5 releases already this year 30fps, I'd be stoked!

Re: Rumour: Xbox To Announce 'Big' Game For PS5 Next Week

Re: Xbox's Hi-Fi RUSH Studio Tango Gameworks Revived, Acquired By PUBG Publisher
Glad it's not dead. MS really fumbled this one.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 10-11)
Wind Waker HD and Nintendo World Championship. If I have time, maybe CoD III Campaign on xbox.
Re: Talking Point: How Would You Feel If Xbox's Major Fall Release Is Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6?
If it's only CoD and not indy, it's a pretty abysmal year unfortunately. Less and less am I playing my xbox and shifting back towards my switch. Indy is my most anticipated Xbox game by far so if it's only hellblade 2 and cod, ouch.
Re: It's Official, Xbox's Avowed Has Been Delayed Until 2025
Welp, all they really got in the pipeline for me is indy then. But I can easily see that being 2025.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 27-28)
