I heard ginger was going physical over a year ago now was starting to think it was cancelled.. both games look like a purchas to me
Ginger is so freakin' terrible I thought they cancelled the physical release over that realization.
@RyanSilberman looks like I better research these games I dont want to waste my time on mediocre.
I liked the look of Ginger when it first released, but then the reviews said it was almost unplayable so never bothered.
@Fake-E-Lee Hmm?? Lol I look them up and if those reviews make you say the reviews are ABYSMALLY...... I don't know what you are thinking tbh........ Because they are not abysmally.
Anima seems interesting to me.
Already preorder on Amazon UK.
@Fake-E-Lee unless you collect NIN games.
Anima has sat in my backlog forever, namely because I hadn't seen a review for it from NL, so I never bothered researching it further. It LOOKS fun, but I'm just glad it's getting physical so I have a shot at GameFlying it. That's 3 games today I can remove from my backlog (Dragon's Dogma and Dragon: Marked for Death) lol. I guess backlogging and waiting has really paid off as the decent games seem to get physical releases anyway. More... keep me shrinking that blasted backlog of mine
Anima has my intrest.
@Fake-E-Lee I don't have it.
@Fake-E-Lee Well, I don't have it either. Honestly, it wasn't even on my radar, and since I've already bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Mario + Rabbids yesterday, I'm already at my "two retail games a month" limit.
So, I have no idea if Anima is any good. Looks okay, would probably buy it at a budget price, but from the two games featured in the article, I would actually sooner go for that cartoony platformer.
@Fake-E-Lee Good to know. I guess I'll keep an eye on it, then.
Are both parts of the game on the cartridge, or is there a mandatory download? Or did you get the digital version?
More of a physical game collector myself, hence the question.
@Fake-E-Lee I havent got it yet but ill add it to my wish list. Thank you.
