@Steel76 That's true. I'm glad the indie space exists. And in those cases I would love them to use crowdfunding to bring them to life when possible.
Also, a lot of studios (not usually indies), need to cut back spending money on gigantic bloated games with gigantic bloated staffs that then can't afford to put that game on a 2-cent plastic disc (or a $15 plastic cartridge in Nintendo's case).
this looks pretty good, but, actually looks too much like Mario 64. I mean, aesthetically. if you swapped out the frog character for Mario, most people would be fooled by screenshots, ya know? that's a problem. games need to be unique enough to pass that test.
I don't know how people in the comments are unable to differentiate between the US military and any military (let alone one that is potentially hostile to the united states). I know a lot of people here aren't in the US, and that's fine, but hopefully it isn't hard for anyone to realize that a country will act in its own best interests. Some would argue that's the entire point of a government, to look out for its own country and people.
Again, this is China we're talking about. If a games company had ties to the Canadian military, it would be a different story.
@kendomustdie Cherry Bomb and Mickey seem perfect for the game
if I were to buy the PS3 game today, would it run? or do games from that era require updates and patches that are no longer live? (I own a PS3 that I got 2nd hand from my brother-in-law, but have almost never used it)
I bought it on PS5. Hopefully that solves this issue.
Combat is clunky and stiff
Review says the new version controls significantly worse than the original, but doesn't say how. I'm curious of how it can be objectively worse.
RePop mode feels pointless
I actually think the stylized visuals are much more fun than gore and blood. I don't mind some gore in games, but I think I'd rather have this kind of cutesy satire.
HOWEVER, that's only for the visuals of the violence. I wouldn't want the violence to be removed or toned done. And I also wouldn't want sexual content or language context to be removed or toned down. If RePop mode alters any of that, I will play in Original Mode and just deal with the gore.
Licensed music tracks are mostly gone
That is a shame. Out of curiosity, what licensed songs are missing from the original?
you haven't "gone full Layton" until you get one Switch 2 motherboard to the other side of a grid by sliding around differently shaped, adjacent motherboards.
It's funny how Star Trek and Star Wars used to duke it out for which community had the most passionate fans. Now they are duking it out for which property can can become the most unlikeable.
Do they not separate digital and physical sales numbers? Seems like apples and oranges since the digital landscape prices go up and down so often and can't suffer from supply or distribution issues.
Gotta be March. January and February are too close to Christmas. You can't sell a bunch of Switch 1s and then immediately be like "that thing's obsolete, suckers!!"
I want a hand-written apology from everyone who makes Persona games. Thinking they could get away with having male protagonists?? In THIS day and age?!? Not on our watch!!
yea, it's just a shtick he does. even his remarks to/about himself in this post are over the top. but, still, it's nice that he showed respect for her.
Daisy Ridley is a great actress. It's a shame her character was written so poorly in TLJ and then was painted into a corner by the start of TROS.
Still, this is a really fooking weird choice to have her narrate this. LOL. Who is on the fence about Monster Hunter but would try it out because Daisy Ridley said so?? lol
I think it's fine, just stop putting that label in the title. If it weren't for that, we'd just look at it like any other visual style. No one thinks half a dozen entries in a visual style is too many.
This could be awesome but that doesn't look like a bear. It looks like a bear body and some kind of.... weird... human face?? I dunno, it freaks me out.
I saw Wicked on Broadway and loved it. Unfortunately, the comments and interviews from some cast members of this movie have completely turned me off. Happy for those who can still enjoy it though.
I don't even need it to play Switch 2 games. I just want it to play Switch games super smoothly, and also have a port for physical 3DS and DS games ^_^
This extremely talented person should definitely focus on making their own game instead of doing a lot of work that will legally belong to someone else.

Re: Physical Game Sales Took A Nosedive In The UK Last Year
I never buy digital. In fact, I consider it kind of an oxymoron.
If game companies refuse to properly sell me their games, I simply won't buy them. ... I will play them though. Without guilt.

Re: Team Ninja Gears Up For Its 30th Anniversary
I wouldn't mind a remake of the original trilogy with WayForward-esque 2D visuals. Of course, Ragebound looks like a good substitute for that wish.
