Greenlight was almost universally hated by devs. It could be easily gamed by abusing your popularity or by simply using bots. It prevented actual indie devs from ever releasing finished games while a lot of greenlit games didn’t even release.
It’s been so long since Odyssey and we’ve just had Totk, I’d guess another 3D Mario is likely their S2 ‘killer app’. Could be Legends Z-A or Metroid Prime 4 too, both of which would be cross generation. However, I’m not exactly dying to get my hands on any of these either way, especially not Pokemon.
Well, no, once a Monster Hunter game releases on the S2, my partner makes me buy one.
I could get something else, assuming cross play exists, but the only exclusives across all platforms I care about are games made by Monolith. So, at some point I’ll need the S2.
Hopefully, I won’t have to get the console for several months - if not years. Nintendo’s launch titles usually aren’t anything to write home about. BotW was a notable exception in recent memory, but was also available on the previous generation.
The top seems to be the same size, the old one just bulges more while the new one almost goes straight down.
I know multiple people who complain about every release and then buy it, preferably both versions. A few even complaint there’s no third edition to buy anymore.
If anything, GF could reduce their quality even more.
I honestly don’t get it. I’ve been playing the same game for about three months of real time now and clocked in about 120 hours. I didn’t play anything else and and it’s consuming most of the time I have to myself. The game is Witcher 3.
Now, that means every 1000 hours would take me 25 months or just over two years of playing a game exclusively. Probably more since my data above includes my Christmas vacation, which was quite lengthy. No single game is good enough to take such a big place in my life. I could play so many shorter better games.
No, I don’t think so. They are just different and people don’t like change. For context, I’m a massive JRPG fan and I’ve played: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12 and 15. And of course tons of spin-offs. Planning on playing 7, 8 and 13 - don’t care for MMOs and 16.
Out of these, I love of course the obvious early ones: 4 and 6.
However, 10 is my favorite overall. It has the most solid gameplay (fuck ATB tbh) and a great story, even though we sideline Sin way too much for Seymore who I don’t care for. It’s biggest problem are the minigames though, I hate Blitzball and especially the Cloister of Trials.
9 could be better, but the steam version crashes so much I didn’t get to finish it.
Now, after 10 we got a lot more experimental:
12 was fun but had massive problems. It’s biggest was the autobattle mechanic alongside the speed up in modern releases. You basically don’t play the game and you don’t even strategize. It’s always faster to sprint a few minutes around the map and get back with more levels which ultimately killed any interest I had in the battle system. But I dislike programmable party members in every game, so your milage may vary. The world building on the other hand was awesome.
15 was a great game. I think it’s reception isn’t wrong necessarily because of how much it differs from trailers and such. However, I played it years after release and without having seen a single trailer. I had a blast throughout. The writting is among FF’s best, not because it’s such a great story, but because the relationships between the main party are so strong. I even liked the battle system - it’s different and has a lot of potential, I think. It’s biggest failure is that you need to watch a series, a movie and read lots of other material to grasp the story - a lot of it isn’t in the game.
16, I can’t say much about. I’m honestly not very interested in basic medieval fantasy settings, they’ve stripped out the RPGs mechanics and quite frankly I just don’t own a system I could play it on. Maybe I’d like it after all, I don’t know.
Assuming that’s not some default config I just don’t know, that’s actually a rather competently built config for i3 or similar. If he did that hinself he should manage.
I don’t think the mainline games will change anytime soon, just like they didn’t adopt the battle styles of the last Legends game.
Like, don’t get me wrong, I think the idea they are going for is good. But I also think it does look really clunky and would kill the PvP scene.
Personally, I’d go for a turn based and position based approach like Like a Dragon or Dragon Quest are experimenting with.
Honestly, it’s the right image for both. At least for team based games. The first thing that comes to mind are unpleasent people when I hear ladder.
Ignoring all the other choices, why is his right arm green?
I love almost everything about this, apparently 100h+ in Infinite Wealth was not enough for me. Although, having discovered Like a Dragon only because of their switch to turn-based combat, I’m not sure the brawling is a good fit for me.
I’ll probably pick it up eventually, assuming a new main game doesn’t drop till then.
I’m actually impressed you created that one 2 years ago, I assumed you just did it for this joke.
There are multiple instances pushing propaganda and most data can just be scraped by bots. It may be harder, but capitalism finds a way.
The last panel applies to every other social media, just replace the spying country.
I think they want to intimidate others, but honestly giving him this much of a spotlight should be the dream of anyone thinking about attacking another CEO for attention.
Yeah, but unlike with Biden it is unfair to judge her by the crimes of her children! /s
Something I don’t get, why is it percentage based? I mean, I get it from the waiters perspective. But as a customer? Whether my one plate of food is 20$ or 200$, he did the same thing. Scaling with more items or time spent would seem more appropriate.
I’m interested in trying everything the man does, Katamari is such a gem. Probably the best game in the “genre” of replayable stage-based games.
