yeah i know. i just don't understand why the games are more expensive on the switch and it's like way smaller and way less powerful than like the xbox and ps right?

female here

no offense to anyone in here but i think most of the games on switch are crap.

Same here

that and a better fps rate.

Hi. I'm 56. Welcome.

How many of you have downloaded and played the free to play games offered on various platforms? Which ones do you like? I myself have had Fortnite. It was fun for a while but the hackers ruined the experience for me altogether. Plus the Switch isn't a good platform for competitive shooter games. I tried FallGuys and it was fun but really tough to win at. I got Ninjala and have had that for a while. Didn't play much. But I've gone back to that. It's fun cuz I can beat the hell outta people. *Grins* They also added Knockout City which I'm not sure if I can manage to play it but I'm gonna try cuz it looks like fun. I also got Sky: Children of the Light. Haven't started on that yet. I've had some others but they were all shooters or Paladins.

yeah i don't like the graphics either

I am older than the internet. My first computer was set in front of me and turned on and I had to figure it out from there. LOL! We played outside but had to be at home and inside by the time the street lights came on in the summer. School nights we did homework and had to be in bed by 8. Summer nights we had to be in bed by 9. We played with toys, drank from the garden hose, rode bikes, went for walks, went to the park, I played with Barbies, we ran through the sprinkler cuz the folks couldn't afford the pool. We played at other kids houses. We didn't have cell phones or internet. We also talked to people more. Now I barely speak to anyone because they never make chatter cuz they're buried in the smart phones. If they do let ya talk to them they're not listening. It affects every aspect of their lives because they can't turn them off to do anything. Plus they're always in their pockets.

Themselves mostly. They talk themselves up but when it comes time to deliver the goods they are useless. If you're gonna tell people how great you are at your job and then turn around slack off then that's a waste of my time to listen to. Eye roll city!

Actually from what I've been reading the price of the games is based on popularity. Nintendo gamers aren't stupid. I pd. for both a physical and digital copy of Animal Crossing New Horizons because of the fact that I had two Switches and wanted both because I love the game that much. I can get the digital copy out and make a 2nd island on the other Switch. I have also found that many of the games no matter what the price just flat out suck a**. Also Nintendo has lots of games that go on sale after a while. If you're willing to wait I'm sure eventually the stuff will go down in price. There's also free to play games available on Switch and they keep adding more. I stick with the standard editions and don't buy deluxe or anniversary or any other special editions because that's when the price gets jacked up. https://whatnerd.com/why-digital-console-games-more-expensive-than-physical-copies/

Lots of that going around anymore. I don't use it but I feel for those who do.

More seasonable temps but very busy at work. I work in the environmental services dept. in a hospital that's fairly busy all the time. They've been busy discharging people to end their fiscal year so we been getting slammed with checkouts to clean. Otherwise it's been good. How's yours been killa?

Not sure if any of you use Stadia but, Games Radar+ has an article about it and users have a short window to get their game data before the server gets shut down. https://www.gamesradar.com/stadia-shutting-down-explained/ Second article is about refunds. https://www.gamesradar.com/google-stadia-is-officially-shutting-down/

premium service meaning the fastest internet they have?

Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu

i will say this after reading that...if they bring this to the switch and it screws up my game play i will probably consider quitting gaming. i'm not forkin out all this money just to have games crashing or not be fast enough to play.

what do you mean no security at all for your games?

You're right I never had it. How does it affect the gaming experience?

Stored away?

I bought it and many of the other players are very unhappy with it. Some of the controls don't work and there's no gameplay guidance at all. There's quests for stuff that you don't get til later in the game but the time runs out on them I guess. And building/designing furniture is a mess I guess and it's frustrating players to the point where they don't want to play.

I read it but I obviously don't understand it. My apologies.

so far i'm not impressed with hokko life on the switch.

I disagree. Chess itself isn't art but the pieces can be and so can the board obviously. Video games are digital art, music, & motion. TIME magazine article on video games In the above link it talks about this subject matter. Here's part of it: "As an art form that has only existed in the digital space, video games are truly a collision of art and science. They include many forms of traditional artistic expression—sculpture in the form of 3D modeling, illustration, narrative arcs, and dynamic music—that combine to create something that transcends any one type. Video games are also the only form of media that allows for personalizing the artistic experience while still retaining the authority of the artist. In video games we find three distinct voices: the creator, the game, and the player. Those who play a game are following the story of the author and are bound by the constructs of the rules—but based on the choices they make, the experience can be completely personal. If you can observe the work of another and find in it personal connection, then art has been achieved." I think to say that video games are not a form of art is totally discounting all the artistic elements that go into these games. No offense. JMO.

Same here. I actually did better in fortnite by myself. But I started having heart trouble so I set those games aside. I don't need the extra stress. Plus with all the hacking it became no fun anymore. I don't even like multiplayer in my cozy games that much either. I had a very aggressive person visiting my ACNH island and she freaked out on me because I wouldn't let her in certain places like my house at the time cuz I had lots of stuff laying out that she could've picked up. I had to close out messenger cuz she was chewing me out and I had to kick her off my island. I'm not used to socializing in video games and it's sometimes just as awkward as face to face conversations.
