When you read shocking reviews of a game before you’ve even played it it’s safe to say that your expectations will be very low. When the 3DS launched just over a month ago Asphalt 3D got some pretty harsh critics voicing their view that it was a very poor game. With comments about the 3D, gameplay and graphics all taking shots at the game, it was difficult to build up any enthusiasm to actually play it.
Games Asylum "The Switch’s launch line-up may have been slim, but at least there wasn’t a ‘day one dud’ lurking alongside the likes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Bomberman R. Damning praise, we know, but there’s truth in those words.Previous Nintendo consoles haven’t been quite as fortunate as the Switch, with plenty of clutter arriving alongside such system seller as Super Mario 64, Luigi’s Mansion and Zelda: The Twilight Princess. It’s easy to see why publishers think they can get away with it. Console launches generate a huge buzz, and so it’s easy for day one adopters to get caught in the hype and pick up two or three games on a whim"
We gamers love a bargain. They give us a chance to try new gaming experiences, ones we would have deemed too risky at RRP. Or, in some cases, try more flawed software when the price is right. After all, surely we’d be more satisfied having purchased a flawed game for less, even if it doesn’t change the underlying issue that it’s a bit, well, rubbish.
Every year, countless parents buy their children the wrong games. This Bitmob series hopes to remedy the holiday blues by recommending what not to buy.
Haha... I thought from the title that this would be a "Don't buy your kids a 3DS" article.
My parents bought me Asphalt when I got my regular DS for Christmas however many years ago...Too bad they didn't see an article like this...
I'm thinking Mario or something similar would be much more appropriate and more fun for the kid.
Well, I still think of myself as a "kid" and would certainly love Revelations to be bought for me.
Thinking of yourself as a kid or acting like one doesn't make you one!
:P
