I'm not sure you know what you're talking about, so here are a few facts:

The game was offered at a low price during Early Access and is no longer discounted because the developers don't want to undermine the Early Access model. Early buyers should be rewarded with the lower price — otherwise sales would quickly drop below the Early Access price and the model would break.
There has been no price increase since release, and they have delivered extensive content updates for years that continuously improved and expanded the game. From my perspective, that justifies a price increase, especially after so many years and a lot of free content.
They released exactly one DLC, which is pricey, but it hardly fits the label "DLC" — it's a full expansion that essentially turns the game into Factorio 2, more than doubling the amount of content.

This game is one of the best on the market and the quality is incredible, especially from a software development perspective. I've followed their blog posts, where they weekly described their development for years, sometimes including code examples and explanations of systemic development concepts. I love this game and the developers behind it and can't understand the criticism at all.

BEST GAME EVER!

idont understand this topic, it'sobvious

How can this new device get so dusty so fast?

@Debo626
Please don't get bogged down with trivialities and nitpicking over word meanings. You know exactly what is meant, and 'phobia' refers not only to fear but also explicitly to hostility. So spare me the lamenting and accept that it is a misanthropic attitude. In this case, it has nothing to do with the general 'problem' in Hollywood and the whatever-washing from Netflix. What you are doing is distracting.

Edit: And btw, do you know where your used phrase before "each their own" comes from? I'm german. I know.

And the most ridiculous argument is that a diverse cast (in this case, just one person) is not family-friendly. Why? Do the children even notice? And if they do, what happens then? I think you are afraid. How else can this be explained except with hate?

I am really disappointed with some members of the community here. Transphobia is unacceptable! Hunter Schafer is a good actress and, in my eyes, a beautiful person, even though we shouldn't judge appearances, as it is not our place to do so. Whether she ends up being cast or not is unlikely, but at least visually it would fit, and I think it wouldn't harm the film.

@Suketoudara
Exactly!

@Anti-Matter
I find it funny, that you post basically the same message under every GCN Windwaker article. Seems like important work.

Regarding my personal opinion:
I like the original art style way more then the one in the remake. First it was quite innovative and fitting to the whole game and setting of Zelda and second it was implemented beautyfully.

I also was very disapointed in the remake regarding the overuse of the "bloom" effect and that the light shading was so different that it got rid of the color edges, for example when lamps get near a wall. The cartoon optic was gone and everything was shaded with gradients.

@Princess_Lilly
I like your taste.

@LFOD
It's not possible anymore, because all civs have to be in the same age now.

@Olliemar28
Ok, I just hope it's sooner than later and I understand the difficulty of deciding on what to report and what not, especially if there are not many switch related news right now.
But there are so many headlines @_@

please stop the switch 2 rumors. i cant stand it anymore

Notch can talk much, especially nonsense the last years.
How would a Minecraft successor even play out? I doubt it'll ever see the light of day. He aborted some projects in the past.

I liked what he did with Minecraft ages ago, when I was playing a beta version of it. But I couldn't care less for what this person says or does anymore, not because but also in addition what he said on twitter etc. over the years.

@LadyCharlie
I think you are totally wrong. It's always bad to spoil a person.

Just because people are born later or missed something in a specific time slot (because whatever, tons of reasons possible) and could not experience it, when it was new, does not entitle others to spoil their media experience. You have that only once! Why should anyone not deserve this feeling for something for the first time? It's special.

I think everyone has the same right to have a fresh experience. Independant of the point in time without beeing biased, influenced or spoiled, because this alters the outcome and perception of any media for the experiencing person.

Spoilers ahead!

What I don't get in the article is the assumption, that project Exodus happens at the same time when Klaus does his world-splitting experiment. How would this even work? And humankind left Earth when the war was already ongoing, right? When Klaus did his shenanigans, the sourrounding environment was normal, if I remember correctly.

And another topic:
Elma brings skell technology to earth (outro from X), but before in xenoblade 1 and 2 skell-like entities and big robots already exist. So idk how this could come together. I'd assume after future redeemed technology from Klaus' time would continue and even then they had large robots already, or am I wrong?

Anyway, as I didn't play the old xeno games I instantly assumed that it would be Elma comming to earth in the outro of future redeemed. It made sense to me, because it's also a "blade" game and it would mean X is a sequel at any point after the trilogy. But this would make the answering of my second topic even harder.
I can understand why people assume it's KOS-MOS, but I think their confidence is too strong for the most part, because we don't know jack atm. I think some people now just want to yell KOS-MOS even if it's just a guess to be right in the end and able to say "I told you so".

I already have a giant OST and remix library from a variety of games. Partially CDs, partially downloaded via many different online platforms or bought from apple music or bandcamp. Sometimes even youtube, if I can't find it anywhere.
My favourites are always bought, imported if needed.

So it's a nice addition for many people, but I can live without it and as of now I think I won't even try it out. Maybe later if the offered library grows and some exotic stuff is added too.
I don't use my phone anyway for music. I have a whole setup at home already for all different kinds of listening habits.

@Slain
same! I really liked the demo and was really impressed of th overall aesthetic and graphics for a switch game.
The game is already preloaded so... I was surprised by the 6/10 here, because most of the time my taste matches with NL, but not this time! I'll have fun and I'm looking forward playing soon.

@Pillowpants
Same!

Bring back the chao garden already! How hard can it be? It was my favourite feature in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. What a great game.

I'm still sour, that I wont play it, because I got the initial game and I will not pay full price again for a DLC. What a dumb move. Not buying Atlus anymore. at least on release

@Eel
absolutely... those overdesigned, cluttered and gigantic-motive clothes are always a turn off for me.
like a random collage of things without any sense for subtle style... i don't want to be a walking advertisement or picture book

@OctolingKing13
I mean it already is like that for me on PC for quite some years... but I love my Switch anyway.

edit: i owned my first 144Hz monitor for 7 years now and I can say the way back to 60 or even 30 is quite hard, when you are used to 75 to 120 or even 144 depending on the genre and game.

@BodkinDQ
Thanks! I guess you're right. Disabling unnecessary spells should help a lot. I find the difficulty alright in general. Normal monsters are a joke, but Bosses are quite tough sometimes.

@BodkinDQ
Okay thanks for sharing your experience. I frequently use tactics as they seem to have the greatest impact and it's allright regarding debuffing enemies and healing. I have no problem with this, so most of your stated points are clear for me and regarding tactics also working quite well.

I guess I have to experiment more with tactics and spell combination. My main problem is, that for example toxic spells are used hardly at all whether I put to ruthless or debuffing enemies, but I'll see how it plays out in the end.

@BodkinDQ
I love the gameplay as well, but I'm curious how you "manipulated" the AI? I set tactics, which work quite good. But my monsters seem to ignore my spell preferences. They always use the same ones and don't seem to prioritize. Some spells are never used by them no matter what tactics and spell preference I set.

This patch was a long time ago and I was looking for patch notes for a while before finding them somewhere online. Nice to find it here now as well, but way too late.

And why the hell is the diffiulty indicator missing now from the teleport screen in the rose hill tower (the small red demon heads)? I liked that to indicate where I can grind my monster levels the best way. Also this change is mentioned nowhere.

The technical aspect of this game is just amazing. The graphical jump and the style is on a whole new level. I didn't notice the music that much to be honest, because it's very quiet and non-recognisable for me in comparison to older titles but at least we got some old tracks in variations.

I'm a Pikmin player since the first iteration on gamecube. Unfortunately I like part 4 the least because it's, as mentioned by others before, too easy and simple. I don't like the level design as there are so many ways to move things around that there was no thinking required. I was in fact dissapointed sometimes, when I thougt "this is finally a shortcut and a needed way to transit to a different area" just to notice a few moments afterwards, that I don't need it at all and all treasures are done already.
Also too many people and dull sidequest. It's just busywork with no effort and no reward.
I'm a bit sad, that everything was so easy. I mean I get it, Pikmin was never hard. But the older games felt different. And Oatchi is way to mighty in every aspect. But I also cannot not use him, becaus he's needed.
I 100%ed the game yesterday and I expected it to be way more challanging after the first credits or in the extra content. It is what it is.

All in all a nice and technically very impressive game, but I dont want the series to continue in this direction.

Sorry if this was offtopic, but it had to get out eventually.

@moodycat
Seems Monsterhunter is no game for you anymore. I really liked the old games, found World good enough and am loving Rise. Rise is quite different from old school MH but from World as well in many aspects.
It's the best one for me.

At first I thought it was a scam because of the price, but you get 26 CDs for 250€ actually... So it's ok. Please fix the headline.

I really really liked and played the hell out of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on my Gamecube... and a major part was grinding for rings and parts for my chaos!
I just love those kind of games. Small and lovely animals or creatures who can evolve and adapt. And the competitions where very motivating for me and just to discover how they will change if I give them these small animals or those robot-parts... and how they change their appearance and everything.

It was amazing and I want it to continue for so long now, but I had less and less hope the last decade. But still a little hope remains... Just make a good chao game already! I mean it was just a "small" part of Sonic Adventure 2, but it was very fleshed out.

@Mangaphile

That's good to know!

Woohoo! Sounds great

@jump
Ok

Edit: makes no sense anymore, because the comment I was referring to was deleted.

@Mangaphile

You're probably right. When I was looking for a sale I just had bad luck for a frined of mine to play with me. I got it years back.
My point in general is, that I guess a price drop for Rise may not be happening for a while for official purchasing places. I dont want to be missunderstood.
This shall be no battle who finds the lowest price on the internet.

@jump

Of course Nintendo is really bad regarding price drops for their major titles for many years. And yes, it's completely normal, that prices drop fast after release especially for retail games and digital when sales happen, which happens quite often on steam for example.

But to say people probalby don't try other games is just a bad assumption.

@jump
Yeah, I know that it is possible but I was talking more about the official eShop and popular sale platforms without shady sales tactics. Sorry if that was unclear.

edit: And I'm always cautious, when people use smileys to make a point.

@jump
Generations Ultimate is on sale very rare. It's an old game and has the same price since release. I wish you luck for a good sale, but doubt it will happen soon.

@ThanosReXXX
My thoughts as well.

@JamesJose7 Cool! I'm happy that you liked it! I'll try yours.

So I remade my favorite level from MM 1 just now, wanna play?

@Cobalt
Wow, you had to have another opinion to say something like that...

I don't get why people don't want ads on one hand, but on the other hand they also don't want a "subscription / ad-free" model...
