@Octane I just bought them in game stores or any other store that sold them. Not codes, but physical cards, seeing as price-wise, it really didn't matter where you bought them.
I do have to add an edit to the previous comment, though: the last time I used the eShop was actually on the Wii U, when I bought the bundle of extra tracks for Mario Kart 8. But then again: that's also two years ago, and if my memory serves me well, that was also easier/faster than now.
Oh, well. I finally managed to get Golf Story, so that's downloading now.
P.S.
As you could have guessed, I have no issues with Dutch, as long as it stays in the eShop, and doesn't defile my games, so my system language setting is English...
@ThanosReXXX Physical cards use codes, right? There are sites that sell you the codes. It saves you the hassle of going to a store to buy a card for an online transaction.
Golf Story is a pretty neat game, but it lacks a ''retry'' button, meaning that when you screw up a challenge (finish nine holes in eighteen shots for example), you either have to reset the system, or play it all out knowing you won't win anyway.
@Octane Yeah, I know it's all just codes, but for that handful of times, that I used them, I just decided to buy some cards. And the shop is practically around the corner, so not that much of a hassle, really.
I do buy all my Xbox related stuff digitally, simply because I've used that more often, and contrary to Nintendo's offerings where points and so on are concerned, Microsoft codes can be bought much cheaper online, so I'd be pretty dense to continue to buy straight from the source...
I'll keep that in mind, about the game. Sounds like it offers up a real challenge, then.
I bought it, because it really reminded me of Mario Golf, in a good way, and most reviews, if not all, are positive.
I never base my purchases on any single review, but if there's so much positivity surrounding it, and the genre appeals to you, then it's probably one of those must-haves. Guess I'll find out soon enough...
Final Fantaxy XV is 83.2 GB (not counting the DLC) and the Comrades expansion is just 7.9 GB. If I install Comrades separately is 30.47 GB. Hmmm... my question is, if I don't install Comrades separately am I missing anything? The difference is 22.57 GB!
I don't think you actually have the choice now. As far as I'm aware, the separate Comrades version is tied up with the final update. Meaning that if you stick with the old 7.9GB version, you don't get all of the extra stuff they added in the latest update.
And I think that update also contains the new stuff for the main game. Like the FFXIV sidequest mission. Which you definitely want to do cos it's apparently quite good.
Yes but the separate file was released at the same time as an update for the main game. They both came out on the 13th of December.
I think the update will either delete or just disable the original version.
The separate Comrades file is installed and the expansion Comrades wasn't deleted by the system. I don't want to delete the expansion without knowing what I am doing though.
@Dezzy Yes it's up to date. Perhaps I should try to launch the expansion on the main game and see what happens.
EDIT: I can launch the expansion, it says that Comrades is available separately but it loads fine and I hadn't even started Comrades yet. It lets me start a new game. I wonder if the separate file is bigger because it can not reuse the assets from the FF XV file or because it has more content. The difference is huge, 22.57 GB.
Yeah it's bigger because the original DLC version is reusing assets from the main game. A lot of characters and enemies are the same as in the main game and a lot of the 3D scenery is the same, but with new textures to match the new setting.
The additional stuff they added in the final update will be under 3GB for sure.
Official response regarding Final Fantasy XV Comrades received. Unfortunately, it doesn't explain what the exact differences are. Actually, it says it's "the same" but it recommends downloading the separate file and erasing the expansion because the separate file is what "everyone will be using now".
Dear .......,
Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre.
The standalone version of comrades is effectively the same as the version that is was previously built into Final Fantasy XV, however it is the version that must be used now. It was made for users who did not have the full version of Final Fantasy XV, but still wished to play Comrades.
Keeping the expansion would not be required now, as the standalone version is the version that everyone will be using now.
Kind regards,
.........
My understanding is what I suspected initially, that they are the same but the separate file has the assets separately and thus it's much bigger... So still I don't see the point in keeping the separate file which is 22.57 GB bigger if you have FF XV and the expansion.
@Dezzy They didn't clarify that, they say "it's the same". I can use both versions at the moment. They should have explained what the differences are. Okay, for people that don't have FFXV Royal Edition, I get it, but explain if the size difference includes new content or it's much bigger just because it can't reuse the assets. If it's "the same" it makes more sense to keep the expansion.
I'm playing the new Pray on the Xbox One. It's a really well-made game, though I'm only about two hours in. Also enjoying the Mass Effect franchise again, ironically the most eager I've been to play a game in years and it's for a franchise I've beaten before.
Ultimate MVC3 and Just Cause 3 got a surprise drop onto Game pass if anyone is interested, both up there now.
Edit: Speaking of game pass, if you preorder the Division 2 up until Jan 31st you get a free month of GP. That includes physical copies too but only Amazon, BB, and MS Store it seems
@redd214 MVC3 is awesome, and easy recommendation! Just Cause 3....I want to like it. The theme is great. But the game is easily the weakest JC entry. It was a big step back from 2, and 4 is a great leap forward. Not sure I'd recommend it to anyone, but it's not bad, it's just...bland. Which is a sad thing to have to say about a game that involves shooting a rocket launcher while riding a rocket.
