So definitive edition was... a lie...
@NotASockPuppet - I know, right? It looks like they turned him into a horror character.

On a meme site, some of the comments from scalpers were collected, and one was like "I've been loyal to this brand for 8 months, and this is how they treat me!", and all I could do was shake my head. The disconnect... is unimaginable.

I am not going to vote as both are absolutely horrid. US looks like a screenshot with Word art on it, indeed, and the JP one makes absolutely zero sense.

Give me a third option, neither.

This looked really good, but then the house started walking and then the door was interdimensional and now I don't like it anymore.

No, I am absolutely not fun at parties, thank you for asking.

@Sausage_patty What's annoying is, I want this series to be for me. But it wasn't written for me. And to be fair, I may have a very, VERY specific taste.

If I had all the time in the world, I would make the games that I would want to see, but I don't... So... I will have to make do with what is offered to us.

@Sausage_patty Thanks for the summary.

I just couldn't after the ridiculous characters in RE4, though I suppose what I played of RE5 was a return to grounded form, but when they started introducing actual mythical shapeshifting nonsense, it threw the... you know... biohazardous, grounded vibe straight out the window.

It's a me-thing, I know. Power to everyone who absolutely adore the series.

The Resident Evil franchise has become such an insane mess, that I no longer view anything past... I guess Resident Evil 3 as canon. Not even 4, even though I loved the gameplay... it just went too gonzo.

I guess it's me though, I just don't like the over-the-top nonsense that, quite frankly, a lot of Japanese mega-franchises suffer from. It's just a shame that they start suffering that after a few good instances, at least in my opinion.

This movie, by the sound of it, doesn't go that route, so who knows, I might enjoy it.

I really dislike the sword, they should've done more with it. It looks like a toy to me now. Some of the eyes are a bit uncanny, but all in all the new game looks gorgeous.

Links to the Past?

Come on! Ocarina of Timeline was right there!

And also, the whole idea that they should fit a timeline when Nintendo CLEARLY had no intention of connecting them at all, once upon a time, aside from I and II together, LotP and LA together, and BotW and TotK, with maybe a nod in WW... I mean... It's clearly a hamfisted thing.

So, now let's not JUST do a different box art, let's also change the title a little bit for NO reason whatsoever, probably.

Well, US wins.

So I gave several GC games a whirl on NSO, but the S2 controller does NOT translate to the GC games AT ALL. Soul Caliber 2 was a disaster for me, and so was F-Zero. I miss the middle A button.

Maybe... MAYBE, one day I will play through the FF7R's, and I will add this one to the list. Who knows, maybe we will also get BC, DC and EC...

However, it seems rather unlikely I will. Even if there was an easy mode, I wasn't feeling the Remake too much.

Civ I or bust. Actually played it again last week, and is the absolute best!

@DaniPooo I LOATHE the Pixel Remaster for this very reason. Also, they didn't even throw in the GBA bonus material. Blegh.

Again... why? Why have different art? NA is a cool composition, but I dislike the clean style and colours.

Too bad about the ugly "sticker" though. And early purchase my hiney. Suikoden is STILL selling the "Day 1 or 0 or ehatever highly Limited Edition". I actually wanted to wait until that sticker was removed, but there you have it.

PS. What is up with the news banner showing a different background to the NA box?

@anubisvel Oh brother. I was trying the game out when this happened. Why did you have to remind me of it?

I hate these hamfisted cameo appearance type games, so this is a hard pass for me. Didn't like Brave Exvius, certainly won't like this. But happy for those who will enjoy it.

The whole marketplace was a horrid place to begin with, at least on Switch. All my purchases are gone now, but the skins were not accesible for long before that too.

While I prefer the blue from NA as a background colour, the cleaner view of Zero and everything else happening makes JP a winner.

@8bitScarfy Tell them, not me. They feel too old for it.

Yet somehow, they're not too old for videogames. Youth these days...

They should have done this the first time around. Back when my kids still had the age to enjoy this. Too late for us now. Still, glad to see them doing this.

@Alcea Same. So many amazing imperfect games put there, and so many beat so called AAA games with ease.

Gave No Man's Sky a try with the trial. Already discovered three planets, even renamed a stone after the planet I renamed after my own little worldbuilding. Didn't feel like renaming all the creatures and plants though. Just one mineral.

@imopthefloors I am currently of the same mind. Sure, it's a massive universe, but it's still pretty empty.

But then I enter a new planet and I am like "man, this is kinda cool" l. It's a weird game. It feels like itnit entirely sure what it wants to be itself, but well.. the trial is still a few days so I am goingg to squeeze what I can out of it.

I do have three planet discoveries to my name, that is pretty awesome.

Proper minifigs, as they should've done in the first place. But Lego sets are always a letdown, so these will be too.

Just... why?

I seriously don't get it. Why these regional differences?

Anyhoo, NA I guess...

Sad to hear. Have a few of these. Never even played EQQO, should try it sometime. Soul Searching was WEIRD, but in a good way.

We're seeing an opportunity to cut costs while still making money.

Just yesterday I finally framed my Metroid II poster and it's just so characterful. I love the desolate background. They're all great but for me, that one gives the eeriest vibe and I love it. Never played it, and I can imagine it holds no candles to the other entries, but the box art? Yes!

I love them, but at the same time I think we are good. I don't want them to jump the shark, so to speak.

I had hopes for Idris Elba for some reason, but I am sure this is a great choice.

We shall see.

I am pretty sure I never owned an EA title, thought maybe a subsidiary one... now I will make sure I own even less.

(My kids might have some second-hand though)

Everything is more expensive. I am so sick of price hikes.

EU is too chipper, JP is too Resident Evil. NA is perfect.

I regret selling it.

@DemonKow Well... fair enough... to be honest, I don't think I liked that back when I was younger either. So maybe it's just me.

The logo for the English version is better, but the art is horrid. Japan for me.

Maybe I've gotten too old, but those voice overs... ugh...

@Kestrel Agreed. Didn't mind the fun little statue when you have a save of something else, but I HAAAAATE crossover stuff like this with an absolute passion.

NA/EU box would've greatly intrigued me back in the day.

And this hot off the trails of Sony suddenly axing support of bought TV series and movies. Absolutely awesome!

I haven't played it yet, so I will refrain from giving it a score, but it looks great, I will probably end up somewhere on 8, because it looks like it will feel like the original in many ways, but I would've loved something like an online 4-player mode for the main campaign. Dog fights against other players are fun, but that would have elevated it to a 9 or 10. The arenas also seemed a tall small for my liking.

And, as others have mentioned, it would've been nice if they had added a level or two more into the main campaign.

Now, for those awarding it a 1, come on man, take yourself a little more serious. This game is not a 1. You are allowed to dislike the game, but a 1 means it is absolutely abysmal. That is like Atari 2600's "E.T." levels of crap.

As always, dear people the differences in colours is scanning quality so it should not be taken into consideration too much.

Japan is better. The track looks great on it.

How come you didn't invite me?

@garfreek Very much same. And I should quit, but... well... NL is still kinda cool.

@garfreek 8-bit theatre... my goodness, that was a long time ago.

My poor eyes thought it said "rated in Heaven" and I was like "WHAT?!?"

Origins has the Mega Drive vibe and I dig that.

So... this is a standard feature on Switch 1. I've already used PS controllers on it. Is it not standard on S2?

I mean, they should've done irradiance fields with probe occlusion from the start, if you ask me. Everybody knows that it's so much better than not having irradiance fields done with probe occlusion.

I mean... seriously.

Just kidding, I have no idea what all of this is, but I am happy that Switch games will play better.

They should have let us 4P the main game instead.

But alas...
