@NinjaNicky Consoles have some amount of auto-aim to compensate.
Oh this is so much more fun than it's been in awhile. Everything's a little sparser, resources are more scarce, and most importantly, weapons are simpler and not as good! Spreads are larger, it all takes a little more skill.
But is it fun to play? Seriously, we play games where we do things that would be absolutely horrendous both legally and morally ALL THE ***** TIME. We don't need moralizing.
@aresius Generally you're correct, but it's possible that the original contract permitted changes like this in the future. Or it didn't cover past installs originally, which fees are a condition for continued use of Unity products. Or something else. Lawyers are very good at doing things like this, and I expect that they've taken into consideration the general rule you identify and have, if not a rock-solid argument, an argument with a reasonable likelihood of success.
It's a remarkably different take than when writers et. al ask for more money for work they've already done in the past.
But it does seem amazingly short sighted. I predict this will backfire horribly (which I would've predicted even before I saw developers threatening to stop doing business with them)
1 - Dang I loved BOTW's story. 2 - Neat idea to have a recap like this 3 - Can we have whoever did the VO for this recap switch places with the Zelda VA?
This game is the perfect kind of thing for Gamefly. I've got it now, and I'm enjoying playing through it, but I'm reliving the nostalgia more than anything else.
@LN3000 "Ignore" is a little strong. Never ignore a subpoena. You can go to the court and argue "Hey, this subpoena is improper, I want it quashed" (voided).
N64 controllers are soooo bad. I get that companies were experimenting with designs a lot in that time period, but wow did the PS2 controllers blow them out of the water. They were uncomfortable, confusing, and flimsy.
Lots of Europeans bemoaning the lack of Capcom sale (and I feel you, I do!) but holy crap if the SMT games and Etrian Odyssey games were on sale here I'd buy every one of them!
@contractcooker Agreed. Every single person in the game spoke like everything they had to say was the most important thing anybody had ever said in the history of saying things.

Re: Zelda Voted 'Favourite' Tears Of The Kingdom Character In Recent Famitsu Survey
@Dom_31 Which is 100% why I turned it to Japanese.
I really liked Purah and wish she played a bigger role throughout the game and not just at the beginning.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Wario Land: Shake It!
I dunno, Japan's is super washed out and Europe looks like so many other covers.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Actraiser
584 votes still 50/50.
I agree both are pretty bad, but NA's is so boring. I have no idea what this game is going to be.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
Japan's is weeeeird. Combination of three distinct styles (pixel, smooth cartoon, and... I guess a magazine ad? Yuck.

Re: Charles Martinet On His New Role As Mario Ambassador: "I Don't Know What That Is Yet"
He's already bad at it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Sea Of Stars
Really? Japan is so busy. And everything mushes together. And "put all your characters in an overlapping pile" is so overdone. Yech.
Re: Feature: Harvest Moon 64’s Relationship With Alcohol, The "Magic Liquid" Of Flowerbud Village
@Princess_Lilly
HM64 - 1999. Fortnite - 2017. So 18 years apart (Goat_FromBTW did not say 20 years ago, they say 20 years later than Fortnite).
Re: Cat Quest III Sets Sail With "Furrst" Gameplay Trailer
@Balladeer Agreed, my daughter and I just loved it!
Re: The GameCube And Wii Emulator Dolphin Is No Longer Coming To Steam
Were they going to charge for it on Steam or would it have been free?
Re: Shakespeare Gets A Comedy RPG Twist In 'This Way Madness Lies', Coming To Switch Next Week
@Expa0 I had the same thought, with the single character "floating" on a piece of ground on the right.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
Huh, I'm in the clear minority here, but I think Europe is much too busy. I like cleaner presentations.
Re: Feature: The One Thing Wii Did Much Better Than Switch
Motion controls are like the FLUDD. A fun novelty that shouldn't be the core function of any game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS)
I don't like any of them. That long white silhouette is weeeird.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - The Legend Of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
I dunno, the Europe/Japan is very cliched I feel. NA is more interesting & unique
Re: Current Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Tera Raid Battle Events Suspended Due To Reward Bug
Tara Reid is in Pokemon?
Re: Nintendo's Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom TV Ad Might Be Its Best One Ever
In pretty much any context, scripted attempts to recreate people muttering to themselves while doing something never come across sounding realistic.
Re: Video: Get Ready For Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom With Nintendo's Breath Of The Wild Recap
1 - Dang I loved BOTW's story.
2 - Neat idea to have a recap like this
3 - Can we have whoever did the VO for this recap switch places with the Zelda VA?
Re: Feature: Best Royals In Nintendo Games - Who's Your Favourite?
As much as I love Princess Zelda in a couple of the games, in most of them she has little to no personality (or presence). I went with Bowser
Re: Exclusive: Fall Of Porcupine Brings A Healthcare Worker's Adventure To Switch Next Month
Gives me Spiritfarer vibes.
Re: Random: Think You Know BOTW's Hyrule? Test Your Zelda Knowledge With This Map Quiz
I haven't played this game in years, it's really a mark of how well designed it was that I remembered these locations pretty well - 21,375
Re: Soapbox: It's Time For A Zelda 1 Remake, Please
@timp29 I agree with you. I have no desire for a Zelda 1 remake partially because BOTW took that sense of wandering discovery to a new level.
Re: UK Charts: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Tumbles Out Of The Top Ten
This game is the perfect kind of thing for Gamefly. I've got it now, and I'm enjoying playing through it, but I'm reliving the nostalgia more than anything else.

@LN3000 "Ignore" is a little strong. Never ignore a subpoena. You can go to the court and argue "Hey, this subpoena is improper, I want it quashed" (voided).
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite Nintendo Controller? Every Nintendo Pad Ranked
N64 controllers are soooo bad. I get that companies were experimenting with designs a lot in that time period, but wow did the PS2 controllers blow them out of the water. They were uncomfortable, confusing, and flimsy.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
@H3X3NH4MM3R He was criminally convicted. This isn't one of Nintendo's lawsuits.
Re: Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Has Been Released From Prison
Um, he was criminally convicted. You shouldn't be saying "purportedly" and "allegedly".
Re: Talking Point: Should Link Have Voice Acting In The Next Zelda Game?
Better question is whether ZELDA (meaning the whole game) should have voice acting.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Final Pre-Launch Trailer Is Absolutely Stunning
Matt Mercer has such an incredible range in his voice.... why does Ganon just sound like a wooden Matt Mercer? That roar was just cringe.
And yet again, Zelda sounds like she's on the verge of tears in every single thing she ever says.
Sigh.
Re: GameStop Fires Employee For Leaking Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Switch
Even if Nintendo didn't pressure them, the employee should've been fired. That's basic game industry stuff.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Japan is generic. NA is too literal. I like the Euro.
Re: Feature: Best Rabbits In Games
Klonoa, kinda?
Re: Hands On: Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp - Slicker, Shinier, Sassier Strategy
"real-world events that Nintendo evidently felt made launching a light-hearted warfare game problematic"
I've always called BS on that. I'd wager the game desperately needed more development time.
Re: Bandai Namco Wants Your Feedback On Tales Of Symphonia Remastered
My feedback would be to do Tales of Destiny 1 & 2.
Re: PlatinumGames Announces Next Instalment In "Neo-Classic Arcade" Series On April Fools' Day
Fragrant Story was announced on April Fools, and I was 100% convinced it was so obviously a joke.
Re: Best Deals And Cheapest Games In The 3DS & Wii U eShop Sales
Lots of Europeans bemoaning the lack of Capcom sale (and I feel you, I do!) but holy crap if the SMT games and Etrian Odyssey games were on sale here I'd buy every one of them!
Re: 39 Best 3DS eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
@Desihra 3DS eshop? Dual Destinies, Trilogy, Spirit of Justice are all showing as $19.99 marked down to $2.99 right now for me.
Re: 39 Best 3DS eShop Games You Should Get Before They're Gone Forever
Phoenix Wright games are on sale for $3 for the next couple days.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Super Mario Bros. 2
The Japan Version is the "USA Version" - ??
Re: Review: Bayonetta Origins: Cereza And The Lost Demon - A Placid Prequel For Platinum's Star
I'm much more interested in this than Bayonetta proper. Rented 3 from Gamefly and it was an incoherent kludge.
Re: Countdown: 3DS eShop Spotlight - Pocket Card Jockey

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I don't ever think I've been awake for one of these polls this early, but it's 7-0 at the moment for NA.
Re: Valis: The Fantasm Soldier Collection II Scores A Surprise eShop Release
Not even close, these were all quite generic action platformers

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Octopath Traveler II
@contractcooker Agreed. Every single person in the game spoke like everything they had to say was the most important thing anybody had ever said in the history of saying things.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Flight Sim And Space Combat Games
@Speedo Because you don't like a genre, developers should stop making those games and deprive the people who do like them?
