Re: Review: Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream - Another Intoxicating Blend

@Darknilious As far as I know, there has never been a demo for any Atelier game. Now on whether or not you would enjoy them, I would say they're pretty middle of the row turn-based JRPGs. They are better than most JRPGs but there are still better ones. They're not as hard as like Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, or Bravely. For playtime, they're about 30 hours rather than 80+ hours, so that may be a plus.

Re: Random: 'Nintendo Generation' Skeletons Aren't Tough Enough, Says US Army Major

@BlueMonk I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about the tendency of people like you to have a superiority complex on a site you would likely only be on because you share that hobby. You're basically saying, "I'm a gamer, but not like you losers, lol." It's like on Anime sites, where someone calls someone a weeaboo. It's a weeaboo site, everybody there is weeaboo. It makes no sense.

Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The Metaverse But Ponders What "Joy" It Can Provide

ArcticEcho

@Kazgykes Crypto and NFTs are a market manipulation scam by billionaires. Nobody is buying NFTs, but rich people to sell to rich people. These things have no real benefit to anybody, using ancient inefficient database protocols. They use 100 times the amount of power of a typical VISA transaction, so yes it is destroying the environment needlessly. It is only a tool for making money. If you have the money to trade NFTs go ahead, because that's the only use for it. If I was rich, I'd be doing it, because it works. It is truly the greatest scam of all time.

Re: Don't Say It Too Loud, But PS5 Has Outsold Wii U In A Year

ArcticEcho

I believe the problem of the Wii U was being the successor of the Wii, which honestly wasn't that great. Yes, it sold fantastically, but I know every person that had a Gamecube and loved the Gamecube were sorely disappointed at the extent of the wiggle controls and the graphical ineptitude of the Wii. I went from Nintendo diehard to getting an XBOX 360 and a PS3. People were disillusioned by the Wii and every gamer I ever talked to felt the same. I bought the Wii U and loved it, but I'm a minority, many people refused to bite because of their experience with the Wii. I got a PS4 and sold it within 6 months, it didn't have anything special, so I only really play Switch, 3DS, GCN, and PS3 now.
