Actually logging back in for once because I just have to say, I don't like this industry trend at all. Subscription services are like renting games in the modern day. You own nothing and are at the mercy of the service.
Further, it's been so long since any major AAA game from Sony or Playstation has excited me, it's just sad. I have had more fun with my GameCube than my PS4 in the same time frame.
As a result while I might admit that PS5 and Xbox Stupid Naming System are more powerful machines with more lucrative Subscription services - that matters very little when so little I care about isn't also on Switch or PC.
Logging back in just to say this is stupid as heck. I'd face a firing squad before I'd fight for a flag. Nationalism is cancer. Just look at basically all of history. It's a tool of the elite to make the masses kill each other.
@Brett Let's joke about some of the worst things happening around the world. It's fine cause it's "just a joke" right?
I don't find it funny to make light of such things. Quite the opposite in fact. You people will laugh and Crack jokes all you want until you're next. When the bad thing happens to you, will you be laughing? Don't bother saying yes, I won't believe you.
There is clearly no bottom of the barrel. Anything goes.
Remember that when something horrible happens to you or someone you care about and makes jokes about it. Cause it will happen. Then they'll attack you for being too sensitive or some other such BS.
I mean, if you can't joke about something that's taken the lives of millions of people around the world, often in a slow, painful fashion, clearly you have no sense of humor.
Every stick will drift. Things get dirty. Things break. But if you take care of your things and learn to do a little maintenance, most of the time Things will last for a long time.
And anyone claiming this is a Nintendo issue and it doesn't happen elsewhere almost as frequently, is just speaking nonsense.
The only thing I would ask for at this point is Steam Workshop mod support. Last I checked that didn't exist. I've put hundreds of hours into this game at this point on Switch and will probably play more.
But if it gets official mod support I could see hundreds turning into thousands.
But the guy who made this game is a master tier game dev. He deserves awards and praise out the door and down the hall!
Explain to me why we're entitled to access to these things? This whole preservation argument seems like little more than a thinly veiled argument to justify rampant piracy.
Why just games? What makes them different? Can we apply the idea to movies? Books? Music? More traditional artwork?
It should be up to the creators to decide who has access to their work.
Sex is a natural part of life that nearly all mammals take part in. But only humans murder. I've never heard of Animals killing their own for petty reasons like people do. Only predators hunting for food.
Going a little more on topic, my issue is the double standard. I'm not anti violence in video games. A lot of the games I enjoy portray it. In clearly fictional settings and scenarios with obviously fictional characters.
They are not real people, they are not in the real world nor are they meant to appear to be. And that's what people need to understand.
Games like GTA and COD and stuff are set to mimic the real world. They might use fictional names but that's it. GTA is clearly set in cities like NYC or LA and COD just blatantly show realistic looking soldiers flying real world flags inspired by possible real world events.
That people get upset over fictional panties but are cool with realistic portrayals of intense violence turned into a game is something I am not capable of understanding or accepting.
@Zochmenos I find that budget idea hard to believe. The Dragon Ball series is one of the longest running and most iconic anime ever, regardless of anyone's personal thoughts on the series, it's hard to deny its overwhelming success. The people behind this game are a pretty major development studio now as well, with a game that has, as far as I know, been one of the most successful DB games.
And also, DLC is a money maker.
I just feel like lack of a budget for continued content seems extremely unlikely.
This doesn't seem accurate. I know I put more than a couple hours into my Switch in October and November and yet it says only 2 and 3 hours for those months.
This has been the Switch's weakest year for releases for me personally. By no means bad, I don't think the Swith has had a bad year yet. But absolutely the weakest.
I didn't really expect anything different from this Pokemon hating website to be honest I am surprised they even gave it a 6. I expected a 3 for tree textures and lack of National Dex.
When I was a kid I always wanted a girl Super Sayian. But I just can't get back into the series like I enjoyed it as a kid. I suppose my tastes have just changed.
I am still glad it finally did happen though. Even if it was after the point that I lost interest in the show over all.
My goodness people are stingy and cheap as hell on this site apparently. Do the math. 50 dollars a year is less than 5 dollars a month. That's nothing. Let's just be real, you can walk around a department store parking lot a couple times a week and you will find 5 dollars a month with ease.
If it's not for you, you don't care about the expansion, just don't get it. But just because it isn't worth if for you doesn't mean it should be cheaper. People are just too darn spoiled from their pirated rom libraries.
Hey, if you've got all the roms downloaded already, why the hell do you even care about a service like this?
I quite like the game, but they could use some kind of new mechanics.
I would like to see the map updated with more features to interact with. Maybe make some items spawn in the overworked to collect that are different from the normal ones.
They could add in another evil team that works like an AI controlled 4th team. Any gym that doesn't flip teams in 48 hours would be taken by that 4th team and you could get different rewards for taking them down.
I am very open. I just want enough new content to warrant returning to the game.
And I am saying it now, I will HAPPILY buy a big meaty DLC paid expansion if it's a thing.
I think ACNH is a fantastic game that I put hundreds, literally hundreds of hours into. I would absolutely want more and I think a big major DLC expansion would be justified.
This is both cool and annoying. I am becoming increasingly convinced that it's because of the ever growing number of ways to pirate roms and run them on unsupported hardware that actual companies know they cannot compete.
In fact, I think that's the main reason Nintendo shifted from Virtual Console to NSO for their now very limited legacy support.
These two groups have one of the dirtiest franchises in video games. Any Football/Soccer fan who wants to play with real teams and player lists needs them. They have virtually guaranteed profits.
@Meteoroid It's a maybe for me for a few reasons, 1 it's a totally new IP, and any game that I have never played an entry in that series or even another title from that developer fits the "maybe" bill for me.
And the fact is that I am working full time and it's a rather tiring job. So my time to game is much much more limited. Even though in terms of hours it's not much more than my previous job it is MUCH more tiring and stressful.
Because of that, I have to pick and choose what I want to use my time on much more.
This game is probably worth a shot, if you have the time to risk investing in it. I just would rather go with something I am much more confident that I will enjoy in my free time.

@BloodNinja Please. You know better than that.
Re: Saucy Tower Defence Title Duel Princess Marches To Switch Next Month
Why is it that people are still more bothered by such minor lewd content but barely bat an eyelash towards intense violence in media?
You can literally rape and kill in games like GTA or carry out actual massacres in COD and it hardly turns a head anymore.
In movies you can have full blown war in a PG13 film. But show a nipple or two and suddenly it's X rated.
It's beyond stupid. This society that glorifies violence and throws a tantrum about anime tits is stupid.
