Tons of potential...but ultimately flawed
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: MoviesForDays
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let's get the positive stuff out in the open first, this is a great game. All the gameplay, on-court mechanics work like you'd expect...this is truly NBA 2k in your pocket, not your grampa's old iOS port touchscreen mess. In terms of graphics, the difference from the console version to the Switch version is minimal due to the much smaller screen. Things still look fairly sharp and acceptable. A few of the games details have of course been lost due to the difference in raw power of your everyday console, so don't expect to see the sweat dripping from your player's faces, but they made sure the drop in in-game graphics quality is hardly noticeable when your running up and down the court constantly.
Now for the negatives:
1a. Requirement for an SD card. Yes it is on the game cover but forcing people to have to invest in additional storage to make up for poor game developer choices is bad form. They could have easily opted for a higher capacity switch game cartridge which could have housed the game, additional content and done away the "additional storage" requirement all together. If this was a way to increase their margins on the game, that would be just horrible. More on this storage debacle below.
1b. As soon as you launch the game, it asks you to download a whooping +16GB update file...for any switch owner that plans to do more than play 2K and not play any other game...this is fine, but if I was thinking "at least now I have extra storage for other games on my sd card too...you've got another thing coming...2K18 is here to make short work of your sd card's precious gigabytes.
1c. Game saves are gigantic 5GBs on a 32GB console? No wonder a microSD card is required. Seems like someone dropped the basket-"ball" (had to do it haha) during the development phase of this game and just didn't care about the efficiency of their game save system. Again, kiss that additional storage you thought you had for other games goodbye.
2. The need for the game to be always connected to the 2K servers practically cripples the game in terms of why people buy 2K games. It practically renders the MyCareer unplayable if you're on the go which is the Switch's main selling point, and don't even think of letting your Switch go into sleep mode in the middle of a game in your MyCareer, because guess what, now your game is over because the connection to the server is broken. Rather than just limit what you can do in MyCareer while you're in let's call it "Offline-mode" and allow you to continue with the core of what we've come to expect what MyCareer mode is, let alone let you finish an in-progress game, it decides that "Heyyy you probably don't want to play 2K anymore because you've taken 2 steps out of the vicinity of an available WiFi connection let me end that game for you.". Sure you can start a separate game for offline play, but guess what...that's another 5GB chunk out of your storage...again...man this game is a "ball hog" when it comes to storage, and is staring to seem like the needy partner in this relationship when it comes to having to be always connected. Like, bro sometimes I want to take a walk on my own outside and pretend like I'm playing basketball outside on my Nintendo Switch...is that too much to ask?
So to sum up this a a true 2K basketball game, ruined only by its poor implementation and execution on the Switch, so buy this game at your own risk.

Season 2 continues the wild ride.

Being that season one was amazing, most would expect this show to have their sophmore slump...I'm happy to report that season two is as entertaining and well written as the first. Great cast, interesting story and most importantly great execution. Definitely pick up this Blu-ray release you won't regret it if you're alrwady a fan of the show, and if you're not, get out from under your rock and start watching The Magicians!

Decent movie for an afternoon you're not busy

This is Guy Ritchie's Arthur origin story, so expect a fast paced stylized film going in. Turned out to be a decent popcorn action movie, with an interesting twist to the well known tale of Arthur and the Excalibur sword, although it hardly bares any resemblance to the original story. Definitely won't spur any awards buzz for anyone involved, and the plot leaves much to be desired, but its good for what it is, a summer action flick. It sports decent 4K video and solid audio quality for those interested.

An amazing show you won't want to miss

So you've been hearing about this show called Mr. Robot that isn't actually about robots, well don't let that get you down. This is actually a smartly scripted and amazingly casted show that really immerses you in the world of what being a computer hacker might be like, and serves as some of the best social commentary I've seen on TV in a long time. It deserves all the critical accolades it received, and is definitely worth your time and money. The Blu-ray video and audio quality of this release is also outstanding and definitely make it a joy to experience. Must own.

Good suspense thriller

The movie has a great build up but I feel like the ending was compromised just to setup a sequel. I felt that the majority of the supporting cast of characters were not well enough developed, but James McAvoy is amazing in this.

Pleasantly suprised

You're here to know how good the steelbook packaging is for this BB Exclusive edition of Rouge One: A Star Wars Story is. In a few short words, the packaging very slick, better than last year's The Force Awakens steelbook, which was my level of expectation going into this one. Simplistic yet well thought out. Better then the simple product picture would have you believe. If you must have it, then grab it if you can find it, it'll be a welcome addition to your collection.

An unlikely pairing

The team up between Gosling and Crowe turns out to be funnier then anticipated! The story premise and plot definitely leave alot to be desired, but it definitely delivers some good laughs during particular scenes.

Its been a few years since we've seen Calvin and the Barbershop bunch, but fairly standard as with the 2 films that came before it. If you were a fan of the first 2 films you should definitely check out this latest installment in the barbershop franchise.

A great way to get caught up on the first 4 films!

If you're like me, and didn't bother with getting the first few Ice Age films before the newest Ice Age: Collision Course film came out, then fear not. This is a great way to get caught up on all the films before then. If you can get it for the right price, its definitely worth a pick-up for the kids...or yourself if you enjoy a good chuckle now and again.
