"This is the English language version of the game. Because this version replicates the way the game was originally released, each language version is separate and there are no in-game options to change the language. Please verify the language of the game before completing your purchase."

Translation: We are "completely unable" to offer a launcher that allows language selection. Best we can do is offer this ̶R̶O̶M̶ ̶f̶i̶l̶e̶ port at a premium price.

Re: "I Am Not Going To Abandon Haunted Chocolatier" - ConcernedApe Responds To Fan Concerns

It took ConcernedApe 4 years, give or take, to release Stardew Valley. Since he is still going the solo developer route (while at the same time releasing updates for Stardew Valley), I'm not surprised that it's taking him this long. Humorously, people back then were also worried that Stardew Valley would never release and some of them were getting frustrated that he was rejecting help, because he wanted to do things on his own.

"Then we thought that if one could move around on the bike in a satisfying way in that area, it could be a segment that mitigates the tension from exploration, and paces the whole game."

What the actual lol? Sure, let's stop the game to play another more boring game before we return to the good stuff. Let's waste time and money for something that could be resolved by a pause button.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Metroid Prime 4: Beyond?

Dimjimmer

Disappointing. I mean, it would have been impossible to not have some degree of disappointment after 8 years of waiting, but I really thought that Retro Studios could have done better. Even if you removed the annoying NPCs and the pointless desert exploration, it would still be linear, easy (Thanks Retro for locking Hard mode. Very cool.) and uninspired (Was it really necessary to have the Volt Forge repeat itself thrice? Was it really necessary to have all those stupid double doors in Flare Pool? And what's with the names of those locations? Ice Belt? Really? Couldn't you have gone for something more exotic sounding?) I have enjoyed it somewhat so far, but no way it gets higher than 6.
