Very much so =) I just hope that it´s fun to play.

Littil_Devil3148d ago

That´s what I´m going to find out ;)

TGG_overlord3148d ago

Just the vehicle part alone seems to be a rather fun aspect of the game imo.

Littil_Devil3148d ago

Indeed, I wonder if the game will run on my old PC rig though.

mt3148d ago

for me, If I said it looks good , then it means it will never run on my PC.

Simon_the_sorcerer3148d ago

I bet that it will, because the game will work even on my old PC (it´s like three years old).

TGG_overlord3148d ago

I´m going to find out shortly, as the devs gave me a Steam key for the game ;)

Littil_Devil3148d ago

Lost Planet + WildStar = Planet Explorers?

TGG_overlord3148d ago

That´s what I thought as well :P

Japan: Nintendo Switch 2 already outsold lifetime sales of Xbox Series X|S and PS5 Digital Edition

The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be a success the world over, however, one nation which is particularly keen on the Nintendo’s latest platform is naturally Japan. Recent sales data has shown that…

Wow… Nintendo is champ in Japan, but the speed of sale is remarkable.

Proves that console gaming isn’t dead yet not by a long shot.

not surprised, the switch is relatively cheap in japan.

I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.

NotoriousWhiz2d ago

What are you talking about? Switch 2 is neither always online nor digital only.

DivineHand1252d ago

Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.

Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.

Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.

If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
