@skywake Probably depends where in the US too. I got into limits and infinite sums in second semester Junior year, so I was also 16 at the time. Curriculums are kind of a mess here thanks to each state's crazy standardized testing.
No Man's Sky is THE gold standard for redemption stories. I bought the game after just one update and it is nigh-on unrecognisable after 18 more content updates. After around four or five there would have been a case for them stopping but it has been SIX YEARS since they released the game and every single update has been free. That's not something you'd get with a AAA studio let alone a 20-person indie studio.
Regarding that No Mans Sky trailer, that lush red grassy hill looks so cherry picked for the Switch, since the Switch doesn't have a large distance to render. I'd wait for game release & reviews before anyone gets excited.
@Magician I expect a performance report from you when you get it. (if an NL review doesn't beat you to it) You're welcome to a "told ya so, @WoomyNNYes!", when the time comes. 😁
I'm expecting pop-in and some dynamic resolution shifting, but so long as it on-the-whole has been ported well, as I suspect it will have been, I'll look forward to going exploring with it.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
@WoomyNNYes They can't have been too concerned about it. Heck, a YouTube comment pointed out that some objects spawned incorrectly yet were still in shot, because that's what happens in the game. I don't think they'll be hiding much. I imagine frame rate and dynamic res gets heavy in intense things or loading but beyond that... Probably quite a nice stable 720p ish game.

I put an order through this afternoon, only to be confronted on the final page with the risk of customs fees. Can't remember that being a consideration before, though from my email records I'm not sure I've ever had an order fulfilled from them before, must have cancelled one after finding a more local source.
Anyway... order consisted of 3 games, one in stock, one with a 2-4 week wait, and the other a pre-order for release in December. Total amount about £160, but hoping they are going to be sent separately as and when available, thus minimising the risk of a single bulk package getting hit with customs fees. Am I dreaming?

@Rambler Thanks, but for now I've parked the whole idea.
When I had three items in the basket, totalling £160, that was the price I paid at checkout.
But when I took the pre-order item out, the total dropped to about £125, but suddenly there was £25 tax added on, taking it back up to £150. Why no tax on the previous order but tax now?
Not a fan of obscure financial situations, so unless someone can help me understand how it works I'm just gonna revert to waiting for a chance listing on eBay someday.
Trails of Cold Steel 3 and 4 were freaking incredible. Unfortunately, Trails 1 and 2 came to Switch but never got localized. 3 had a story summary and that's where I jumped in. But many didn't want to do that.
This is part of the Crossbell arc though, which is only a 2 game series from PSP that was never localized. Now its being remastered and released in the west. The 2nd part, Trails to Azure, will follow.
Personally I really like the more chibi art style in HD. It suits the game well.

I decided very quickly that if I were to ever get into the Trails series, I'd want to make sure I'd be able to play the whole series. Even ignoring AFAIK recent game/s not being localized yet, I'm not entirely sure that's possible on any one platform right now.
Yeah, I was curious about the Japanese release dates. 2004 - 2009 saw them release only the three Trails in the Sky games, but, since then, they've released roughly one game every year in this series. They must have a really optimized work flow, considering these games are lengthy and full of dialogue.
