Re: Ape Out Is Getting A Fittingly Stylish Physical Edition On Switch

Yeah, so what have we learned from the Smoke and Sacrifice incident? Only make deals with games that are actually good games.
I purchase a lot of Limited print games, but not all of them. I am in no way a collector that must have a complete set. I only buy if the games are good and worth the coin. That's why they should think carefully about which games they actually choose to publish.

Sadly this strategy doesn't affect publishers like Limited Run Games with their open pre-orders. That also reflects their lineup. Some real crap in between.

Depends if the numbers of stock left is truthful, which I highly doubt. Super Rare Games stock usually goes to under 10% within the first hour and then stays there for weeks. Could be truthful... but I see profit from faking these numbers. Makes potential buyers dig in before thinking twice.

I have to say that I prefer the way Limited Run Games and Iam8bit does it. Open unlimited pre-orders for a set period.
I do get why other people dislike it, cause it means they don't have the games in stock and you could wait up to a year before receiving your purchase. But I've never been in a rush to play a game, so for me it's better. I do think Super Rare Games does a far better job with the extra stuff contained with each release and as I'm European too, they are cheaper for me... or was cheaper... darn Brexit.

It did say that pre-orders opened 12:00 PM CT. I don't remember if it said so directly on the site, which it should have, or if it were on their Twitter channel.

However I rushed in to get one, fearing they would sell out in minutes, but as always they're still available the following day. I'm unsure as to whether these Limited Print companies tells the truth as to how many copies actually are available. I suspect that they report a way lower number than they in fact have, just to make people enticed to buy. I don't like it at all. It's an unclean tactic. Sadly I still suffer from FOMO, so I'm always on the losing side regardless of what I do.

Re: EA Job Listing Suggests Madden Could Be Coming To Switch

I never want to support EA again. They have effectively killed the sports game genré. We will never see a good football game again. Yeah, I'm actually talking world football now (soccer), not American football. Sorry for the cross-reference.

Edit: And the reason is a combination of licensing and their microtransactions.
The risks are too high and thus there are no value for other companies to try and make a game that's better than FIFA, which should no longer even be too difficult. But the licensing on clubs, players, leagues etc. puts consumers off and too many are addicted to the trading card game. When was the last time we saw a good sports game? Yeah... no one remembers. It's been that long.

After putting in 400+ hours in Tri Ultimate, an additional 400+ in Generations Ultimate and just a few days ago done and dusted World for 800+ hours I should be anything but ready. This is when you pick another genré for a healthy change, right? Wrong! We're doing it all over again baby! Time to give Magnamalo a high five... to the face... with my greatsword.

Re: Talking Point: Are You A Player Or Collector?

Aneira

I try (and want) to be both.

I don't think I suffer just one illness though. I obviously play too many hours a day from a physical health point of view. But I also suffer massively from a mental illness by purchasing more than I can play.

I have collected so many games now, that it's too late to stop. So instead I promised myself, that once this Nintendo console generation is gone I will never ever again purchase games before I actually intend to play them right there and now.
Also I promised myself that I will flip the bird at next gen and focus on catching up. I still have Commodore 64 games on the "to do list", so it's not looking good. You're welcome to root for me though

Re: Nintendo Consoles Are Aimed At "Kids And Teens" Says Sega's Toshihiro Nagoshi In Disputed Translation

Aneira

What exactly do you mean by "older players" ?
I'm 39 and don't particularly enjoy games like Doom and Wolfenstein as I primarily find 1st person shooters boring.
I reckon I'm not alone and many from the 70's/80's generation like other challenges which perhaps resonate in what we were given in our childhood, just now with better graphics.
I believe the "adult" genre like 1st person shooters are aiming at the teen market. Thus it is quite ridiculous to label Nintendo as a kids console. The teen kids I know of, all prefer the "adult" consoles, where they sit 12 hours a day and play the same boring "adult" games. Meanwhile the friends of mine around the same 40's enjoy Nintendo and those games you can't really get on "adult" consoles.
Now what does that tell you?

Re: Poll: Have You Won A Game Of Super Mario Bros. 35?

Aneira

Some of the above excuses as to why you have not won yet is just ridiculous You do have options to direct yourselves towards certain courses, which is actually part of the strategy. Could it be that the everyday person just isn't good enough at playing Mario? It is a skilled platformer, so nothing to feel beaten up about.

Re: Review: WWE 2K Battlegrounds - A Disappointingly Poor Wrestlefest

@HobbitGamer

Well that makes no sense. I was obviously referring to the fact that show wrestling as a form of theatrical entertainment should not be labeled as a sport, since it's not as opposed to greco roman wrestling.
Yes, my statement was uncalled for and rude. It merely served as a mean to see if we still live in an era where we absorb every chance we get to feel offended. Thus my quest has been completed.
And I never apologize. I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am 😉

Re: Mass Effect Trilogy Remastered Retail Listing Appears, Gets Taken Down Immediately

Aneira

It would be amazing.
Mass Effect is THE greatest trilogy in gaming history.

It was as close to perfection games has ever come.
Sure games grow prettier year by year and new things gets technological possible. But writing a great story in video games is a lost art. The only other franchise I can think of was Legacy of Kain. It's a shame the story is not the most important focus point in games now a days.
