EVIL-C

@SpaceboyScreams The people who hold up Muskrat as some 6D-chess playing mastermind genius is truly the hilarious thing here. Twitter is still bleeding money. The PIB bots are everywhere. I get pushed porn and outright nazi content that I dont want nor solicit, and yet valid criticism for Emperor Muskrat is bad? LOL whatever.

@MeloMan You mean as a 3-in-1 collection? Turok 1 & 2 did get seperate LRG releases years ago. Since Turok 3 took so long to be remastered, maybe a collection will happen later.

LOL, uh that's random. Then again, Lego Rock Band exists, so anything is possible. 😂

I want a remake of Link to the Past. 🙏❤😭

@Wexter I can't tell you how many games I've discovered years later, only to find out it was an LRG print, so I've often been SOL in getting a reasonably priced physical copy. That's when I hope there's an Asian English copy available. The newer Shantae titles are probably the best example; limited, rare AF in North America if one missed the window, common and easily found in Asia English reigions, even today.

You not see the giant 🍁 as my avatar? You're talking Best Buy and Amazon US. Our Best Buy doesn't carry LRG (overpriced 3rd party marketplace sellers don't count; seriously $201.39 for PS4 Star Wars Bounty Hunter?! EBay is half of that or better) and for me to order from Amazon US, that's about $20 shipping. The same BS were I to order from LRG's site directly, compared to $0 were it a standard retail store release. Even though your location lists Canada, for all I know, you have family or friends in the US. I don't. Or you travel there frequently for work, or it's outdated, or you live right near the border, etc. Could be a hundred possibilities. That's none of my business. So no, I'm afraid you are wrong, it's not "easily" in the slightest for me personally.

Niche games.... Like Castlevania and Contra...from Konami. Like various Star Wars games... from Disney. Like various Doom titles... from Bethesda. Like Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon... from Ubisoft. All these multi-billion dollar experienced gaming publishers with huge brands, using a (Formally) indie label, which titles are apparently as niche as Catlateral Damage or Double Switch, it seems.

I think your effort to bend over backwards and defend them, while downplaying valid criticism of their business model, ethics and conduct, especially after the latest 3DO burnt CD fiasco, is both ignorant to the concerns and naive generally.

There's a sequel? Completely forgot. 😂

Meowtastic news. 🐈‍⬛❤

RE6 truly is the worst entry in the series. It makes 5 look like a masterpiece.

@SometimesGhost Just FYI, there will be a standard, Non-LRG scumbaggery physical version of Tomb Raider I-III released through normal retailers.

I'm hoping Clocktower gets a standard release either in Asia or Europe. 🙏

@LadyCharlie $20 to ship 1 game. Ridiculous wait times. Artificial FOMO business model. Some games like Scott Pilgrim still requiring an online collection to work. Trying to secretly pass off burnt CD-R 3DO title without being transparent about the compatibility problem at all.

Not to mention all WayForward titles in North America are held hostage by LRG, whereas in other territories they usually get standard releases. I recently got River City girls 1&2 compilation from Asia as a massive eff you to LRG, and it still ended up being cheaper than the seperate NA releases. 😂

So yes, plenty of reasons to despise this company. But go ahead, ignore legitimate criticism from customers burned by them. Squak LRGISPERFECT Squak! 🐦

@Aurumonado @Samalik @_Figo_ They're counting that Cold War entry as BO5. I was initially confused too. I remember 4 getting a lot of criticism since it didn't have a campaign, then completely forgot about Cold War.

I played 6 hours of the original KH recently on PS4, and found it overwhelmingly frustrating and boring. That is often my experience with anything made by Square. 😣

Would've loved this... If not for LRG involvement. 🤮

I've never played Braid cause I didn't have a 360 at the time, but I intend to try this version out. 🙂

@Serpenterror Twitter is done, so long as muskrat is running it. The platform can't continue losing money and users indefinitely. The PIB bots are everywhere, and even popular pages I follow, like for shopping deals, are seeing decreasing followers.

@pneumaticgnosis Until one says something lord muskrat doesn't like, hmm? 😉 Lol, beyond comical that that clown has suckered millions into thinking he's their saviour or something. Gross indeed, especially the PIB bots. 💩er is a train wreck of a train wreck.

LRG involvement = disgusting. 🤮

@KingMike If you weren't aware, eventually they stop replying/ignore criticism.

Oh, and to directly answer your question, THIS is the kind of unprofessionalism bull💩 I now expect from the current LRG. Surprise, surprise... 😒🤦‍♂️ https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/05/limited-run-games-accused-of-shipping-premium-3do-games-on-cd-rs

Stop defending these a-holes.

@razza1987 @Lofoten NLife hates Endless Ocean confirmed? 🤔🐳

Despite being officially commissioned by Nintendo, it looks like Nintendog 💩, let's not kid ourselves.

30FPS is fine. It's a freaking turn-based RPG. Snobs ruin everything, and poison the minds of many others. Ugh.

Day 1 buy. I always regretted not getting around to buying the original. More remakes/remasters, please Nintendo! ❤🥹

@ryancraddock GameCube slip cover preorder bonus at Canadian Gamestop: https://www.gamestop.ca/Switch/Games/919384/paper-mario-the-thousand-year-door

@LEGEND_MARIOID Mail your Joycons to Nintendo for a free repair is at the very least a fair remedy to such a widespread problem.

This Vandal rando asserted confidently the OLED Switch would output at 4K while docked...

But sure, tell me more about how accurate they were... 🙄

Four games about cats in one week. 😳 The cat game coming up soon that everyone should have at #1 on their cat game list is Little Kitty, Big City. 🐈‍⬛🏢🥹❤️

@KingMike If you can't see the downsides with this continued practices, then there's nothing else I can add. But know that you're just contributing to this problem. 🤷‍♂️

@LadyCharlie At this point, with Wayforwards long history, studio size, and in recent years their overly-close relationship with LRG, labeling them "indie" is a big stretch.

Come on Little Kitty, Big City! 🐈‍⬛🏢 🥹

@KingMike Lol, really? You're comparing a boutique publisher to both Nintendo and Square? Nintendo and Square (& Enix) have had decades-long working relationships with Nintendo. Square was one of the very few developers who Nintendo trusted enough with any of their IPs; I'm thinking specifically of Mario RPG. That relationship has continued. Nintendo could decide tomorrow that they won't be publishing any more Square-developed titles, and it wouldn't effect them much at all. (I struggle to think of any Nintendo IPs actually published by Square, as Mario RPG was a co-op venture, published ultimately by Nintendo). Nintendo and Square are not indie studios, nor are they really in the business of publishing indie-made titles.
The entire point you seemed to miss is that the entire point of LRG was to help indies get more exposure; specifically, give them a pass to phsycial retail. We have seen a dramatic shift away from this philosophy, to the point they are helping to create artificial FOMO shortages by courting multi-billion dollar PUBLISHERS who already have the means and infrastructure to SELF-PUBLISH their own titles, like Nintendo and Square do frequently. If you fail to realize that Disney, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Konami, etc. are using this as a shortcut, when they can already self-publish, and potentially denying a release to a great indie title (again, LRGs original purpose), then I don't know what else to tell you. It's a clear bastardization of LRGs original purpose and philosophy.

@Woodyshoe Switch 2 will have been out for awhile by then.

Muskrat buying Rockstar would truly be the stuff of nightmares. Imagine the number of PIB Bots... 😱😱😱

I wouldn't trust a GD word that Ryan says. Regardless, Switch has been an overwhelming success. 👏

@Bluerangervegeta Nah, Federation Force was great fun in co-op. Never played Triforce Heroes.

@BiscuitCrumbsInMyBed South Park Rally was amazingly fun. A true shame there was never a sequel or even a remaster. 😭❤

@InTree Indeed, Endless Ocean is returning, and I'm thrilled. 🐳😄

@Bizzyb I missed it too, so I'm ecstatic to finally have a second chance 20 years later. 🥹😄❤

Hopefully this encourages Nintendo to remaster more GameCube titles. 😍

@rvcolem1 It was Tuesday. That used to be the release day for Nintendo and much of the industry. It's been Friday for years now, I just don't recall when that changed. Some publishers still releases on Tuesday, though.

That's an impressive port. 👏

@marcelominucelli I'd love to know as well. A beloved, forgotten relic, of a bygone era. 🥺😢

Generally speaking, I can't wait to get this, but that price is kinda ridiculous.

@Dm9982 @EriXz Toss in Twin Snakes and that's a day 1 buy. 😎

Super excited for this. 😄🐈‍⬛

I got the original Mudrunner free on Epic, which I intend to play eventually. This series has always looked very interesting.

@Zeebor15 I hate getting political on here, but as nearly everything is politicized now, basically that bigot is blaming minorities for ALLLLLL the current problems related with industry layoffs (similarly with the recent Boeing fiasco, and subsequent conspiracy), and overlooks the facts like games with bloated budgets, uninteresting stories or characters, bland gameplay, etc.. are all the classic and most logical reasons of why a game might flop. Gaming has always been creatively diverse, but now budgets are so bloated, one flop can ruin an entire studio. Costs need to come down, not reduce diverse ideas and individuals.

@kfflscnt Sure, blame minorities instead of, oh I don't know, mediocre games with inflated budgets. Have fun in bigoted conspiracy land.

@HammerKirby Yep exactly, and blame also falls onto Konami, a multi billion dollar, decades-long GAME PUBLISHER, using limited run, to publish their games.

This 💩 has gotten absolutely out of hand. SMH. 🤦‍♂️

Finally, a physical release announcement with ZERO mention of Limited Run! It's a minor miracle. 🙏❤

Not surprised at all coming from EA, one of the worst gaming companies in the world. This layoff problem is only gonna get worse before it gets better.

@Purgatorium Because that isn't journalism. Most people who write about games haven't the first clue about analysis or standard journalistic practices. Ages ago, I heard the term "fanboys with paycheques", and it has seemingly remained a fairly apt descriptor in most cases.

@IsThis5or6 Literally no. 🤦‍♂️ That's just coded, right-wing talking points that are completely baseless. Try pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into bloated game budgets, only to have it flop. Combining it with over-expansion of studios far too fast, combined with big budget games bombing. These are major culprits. It's a capitalism problem. But sure, blame minorities. Unbelievable. 🤦‍♂️
