I'm curious to pick this up for the right price but...a month down the line and in the midst of Mario Maker's release, are any of you early adopters still playing online?
Good point. My question therefore is more relevent to other Europeans - I am concerned that IF after a month out here most early adopters have already lost interest online or been sidetracked by an alternate release then that may likely be a precedent for what happens Stateside after an initial bloom once Yoshi and Xenoblade come out.
The price of this clearly needs to be looked at. The game will only end up being as globally successful as the online community it builds.
If many Europeans are waiting for a price cut that can't reasonably happen until it's been out Stateside (for some time) then there will never be a period when the online community is simultaneously fulfilling it's potential in both markets. The early adopters from both sides of the pond will have likely tired and moved on by 2016 and the developers will have let their key audience go and they probably won't even see the value on keeping the servers running through next year!
Clearly Nintendo should lower the US launch price of this to $30 and make it €20 in Europe...but that's wishful thinking when they're still asking £50 for Ninja Gaiden on the official UK store.
Yes, Devil's Third is not really beautiful, even to be downright at times. And yes, some shortcomings are annoying. However, it offers a well thought out gameplay that seeks above all to have fun.
I have the game, and I would still play online if the servers would work with my uni's wifi
All I can play is Black Ops 2 online - for some reason games such as Splatoon, D3rd and Mario Kart simply do not connect.
@LinkSword: That's great news. Maybe we'll start seeing it on shelves under £20 in the UK sometime soon? Mind you, my local GAME didn't even stock any copies from launch!!
@PGS_71: Thanks for the tip off. Personally I only buy games online from Amazon, EBay and GAME, more so out of habit and assurance more than anything. Might have to broaden my options...
