Riders republic. Nice. I never bought it but played beta twice. Good fun openworld game.

BigBosss415d ago

I have 3 other mates who like playing multiplayer games. Is this something we will all enjoy together?

Astrokis414d ago

It’s a really fun game when there’s a lot of people on but the player base dropped a lot compared to launch. This should help increase the amount online drastically.

It’s definitely a - I want to chill with my friends type of game so definitely check it out! Also it’s a huge improvement over Steep

MaximusPrime_414d ago

Sounds good. Also, Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores DLC coming a day after. I'll be more likely spending time on that DLC first. But will join when free.

closed_account414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

Riders Republic is a ton of fun and one of the best things Ubisoft has done in recent years IMO.

The music and acting are obnoxious, which I just turn down... but it's so much just freeriding mountain bikes or other stuff across the mountains. I haven't played w friends, but I imagine it would be a ton of fun in MP. Very underrated game!

SlothLordPootus414d ago

I kept getting caught up in other games so I never got around to buying Doom Eternal. If it's good I'll still buy it so i can keep it. The reboot was awesome, i think i played through it about 5 times, and platinumed it.

closed_account414d ago

Same here, I've had Doom Eternal on my wishlist for a long time. I'm definitely jumping in considering the free PS5 upgrade they released.

Storm23414d ago

It is a lot of fun. First FPS in a while that has really grabbed me. And I love FPS games. C’mon Killzone/Resistance series remasters/remakes/sequels…anyt hing.

DefenderOfDoom2414d ago

I agree , Sony has not produced a single player FPS campaign in about 8 years. I already played DOOM Eternal which was awesome.

FallenAngel1984414d ago

A whole lotta Bethesda titles in this lineup

Sackboy also got included as well despite already being as Essential title

crazyCoconuts414d ago

Regarding sackboy, you're right... That's confusing. At least wait until it's not in essential, as it's impossible to have extra without essential.

Welshy414d ago (Edited 414d ago )

Damned if you do and damned if you don't with that one I think. When a former monthly free game goes into the subscription catalog at a later date it also gets criticism, so may as well just add it straight away for people who don't claim it going forward I guess.

Profchaos414d ago

Hopefully the claim on the game counts as a essentials claim so when the game leaves the catalogue it doesn't leave the players library.

I found a similar situation frustrating I played fallout 76 when it was introduced as a premium game a month or so later it was a essentials game and I could not repurchase it so I'll lose the game when it leaves the Library

crazyCoconuts414d ago

Spiderman is in the titles leaving Extra in May. Guess 1st party titles aren't guaranteed to stay

Welshy414d ago

That's just the way of subscription services in general, titles come and go, but I'm sure it'll be back. Maybe it's a Quantum Break deal where it's just a license refresh?

It's one of the reasons I fear a subscription/digital only future. I don't want the platforms telling me what I can and can't play at any given time and waiting of tenterhooks for games I actually want to be available.

closed_account414d ago

Oh boy, that's making me want to jump back into Returnal! Not that I'd mind buying the game, love it.

EvertonFC414d ago

Great Month, own most of them but looking fwd to trying monstor boy, nice sto have EW in my collection now and some wolfeinstein.

Outlawzz1356d ago

I would like to see a new one. It's been three years I'm ready for an upgrade lol

SullysCigar1356d ago

Rumours are for next year, I believe. At least for a Pro if not an overhaul as such.

indysurfn1356d ago

Yeah pro rumores are for early 2021

One thing that article did NOT mention is that Monster boy is at 120 FPS! Not just native 4k.
The developer did not say the SWITCH would not be 4k or 120FPS for SwitCH!

bouzebbal1355d ago

Question Is if zelda will be exclusive to it like they did with some new 3ds games at launch.. Could be the case.

mikeslemonade1355d ago

Too little too late for Nintendo. The pro should have been out already.

UnSelf1356d ago

It takes the sequel of a game to come out in three years and y’all want a whole new system. Lol this generation I tel u

Outlawzz1356d ago

Yes, I want to be in this generation not the last one. The switch launched with outdated tech it's simple as that, no matter how much you want to cling to yours.

That said, nintendo is probably on your side, they are slowest to adapt to anything.

UnSelf1356d ago

I havent own a nintendo console since N64

FinalFantasyFanatic1356d ago

I know, it's the same with the PS4 and Xbox one, people just want shiny new things all the time and I don't understand it (own something for two or three years, buy a new one). I honestly thing they want consoles to be treated like phones where you upgrade every other year even if there's no significant difference.

Teflon021356d ago

Outlawzz by technicals, Switch is actually 9th gen with PS5 and XSX/S so even if you say that/ They were okay specs for when it released. If they rush a next system it'll just be the same situation again. It's better they wait it out a bit

Outlawzz1355d ago

@unself so your commenting on a switch article and don't even have the product or support the company. Trolls will be trolls I guess*Facepalm*

@teflon02
Yea nintendo is stuck in this awkward in between generations type thing they set themselves up with. So that when they put new tech in it's already behind the competition. It actually makes sense to wait from that perspective.

I just feel if the switch had better specs closer to ps4 or xb1 at release it wouldn't be as much of an issue for me personally since I feel the graphics for ps4 are more than adequate and don't hugely limit developers, so much so, that I don't feel the need to upgrade to ps5 or series x just yet. Switch specs I feel really do hinder many of the bigger developers.

UnSelf1355d ago

so i have to own the system just to speak on it? I cant just keep up with current news until i find something worth my money, huh

Outlawzz1355d ago (Edited 1355d ago )

@unself
Of course you can. But Your comment was obnoxious, generalized, and did nothing to spark an actual conversation about the topic. It's the equivalent of a spam comment.

I’m mainly waiting on an achievement system where Mario Coins and Stars are the trophies

-Foxtrot1356d ago

If they have a portable only Switch out now with joycons attatched and they have their standard portable/home console Switch then I would love to see a home console only Switch.

Pro Controller / Updated Gamecube Controller

Bigger Memory

Little bit more powerful which allows developers to focus on home Switch versions if they want

bouzebbal1356d ago

Hope so, then they stop with the ports.. Current switch is wii u 1.5 nothing more.. Port machine..

whitbyfox1356d ago

Mario Odyssey 97 metacritic.

No single Sony or Microsoft exclusive is higher.

PS4 is port machine bioshock collection, nathan drake collection, resident evil collection, devil may cry collection, gta collection, etc etc.

TheScotsman1356d ago

Mate, I don't often comment but your talking nonsense. Did you miss that last 7 years of awesome ps4 exclusive?

bouzebbal1356d ago (Edited 1356d ago )

I never said Nintendo games were bad, I said switch was a port machine. Learn to understand what you're reading.

The question is, what would switch have left if you take wii u ports away??? Zelda Mario U luigi U Mario kart toad... So don't go there.. PS4 has lots of 1st party exclusives.

Father__Merrin1356d ago

Switch is a port machine it's not worth it for core gamers.

mkis0071356d ago (Edited 1356d ago )

I'll take new IP's over yet another Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong game thank you. It's like Nintendo is afraid that no one will like anything but their old IP's.

For every sequel Playstation gave us this gen, they also gave us a new IP. Ratchet=Bloodborne. God of war= Horizon Zero Dawn. Infamous SS=Days Gone. The Last of Us=Ghost of Tsushima...Then there is Until Dawn, Astro Bot, Detroit, The last Guardian.

Left out a bunch of games like Spider-man to make my point. Take away ports and sequels on switch and what do you have? Ooya?

oh and ps4 has 13 exclusives in their top 50 while switch has 10...Interesting how we can make the goal whatever we want huh? Above an 85 on meta everything is gravy.

northpaws1355d ago

Yay!!! You are right, one original high score game is all you need for a console. /s

Zelda is a port, Mario Kart is a port... and you have a Pikmin 3...

I know there are a few more, but seriously lacking..., the new Mario Kart is a cool concept, but it will get old fast, how many people can constantly reserve enough space at their home for the whole track? And the development time could have been sent to Mario Kart 9

Sure not every game there is amazing (though certainly many of them are and just a few are mediocre or bad), but they are certainly not ports.

You might not like those games, but saying the switch only has ports is just straight up ignorance, not to mention seeing how practically no one bought a WiiU, those ports are finding quite a few dozens of millions of people that never had a chance to play them before

Chriswynnetbh1356d ago

Lol you can't use games that are years away for an argument about the Switch's current library that's like more than half your list that doesn't count at all. And if you're a Wii U owner like myself there is zero reason to buy a Switch considering most of the games worth playing ARE ports. Until they can match Xbox/ps4 in terms of graphic power and start delivering well done games in 4k I just see no reason to own a switch if you own a Wii U

--Onilink--1356d ago (Edited 1356d ago )

@chris

There are 8 upcoming games out of 41 on that list (42 if you count daemonXmachina which i forgot about).

How is that more than half? And thats leaving aside that upcoming games are just as important as the ones already out when looking at whether a console is worth a purchase.

Even if you take out the upcoming games from those 42, there are still 36 additional exclusives that are NOT ports of anything on that list

1355d ago
Om4ever1356d ago

It will certainly be inferior to the xbox serie s... But anyway People will not complain in this case that it will be holding back the entire gen... Pffff

Games1st1356d ago

Switch gets it's own build months or years later.
