Can't speak for everyone, but i think that piece about not finishing BotW was surprising because iirc you said you were literally right there at the entrance to the final boss and you just didn't fight it? It was just odd cause you were already there lol. And not really about it being not normal to finish games. And there shouldn't be any need to "normalize" it anyway. You paid with your money so do whatever you want with the game. Play it for 1 hour, finish the whole game or just keep it sealed on your shelf for all i care

Personally i try to do everything possible in a game to get my money's worth. Most times i can chug through tedious parts and do everything possible. But if not, I'm satisfied with at least finishing the main game. I dont think I've ever played a game so bad that i couldn't bring myself to play it anymore. Any game i stopped playing was most likely just cause another game caught my interest at the time

@TheLightSpirit they couldn't possibly make a game like that whether they were working on legends or not. They're incompetent

@Dr_Lugae lmao they didn't even have traditional catching mechanics. They're spin offs. Although pokemon games at that time still had more heart put into it than they do now. The gamecube games were a glimpse at what it would actually be like to have fully realized 3d pokemon game. I'd imagine if they were put to work on a mainline game, it'd be something else. But i didn't know about the staff movement. What a waste, shame.

And iirc their dungeons definitely had interactivity on the same level as mainline games. Baby puzzles like figuring out which switch opens what. Not only that the towns still had secrets hidden around them.

Only genius sonority could possibly give us a pokemon game of that lvl of quality and obviously more polished

Gamefreak's too incompetent for that so instead they played it lazy and gave it to some other studio to "faithfully recreate" these overpriced remakes

Thank God i have standards, and would never give greedy ninty $60 for 3 free old roms, nor do I care about a repetitive f2p mario otherwise I'd probably let these anti consumer practices get to me too on the 31st

Seiken densetsu 3 is a million times better than secret of mana. Hell, final fantasy adventure is million times better than secret of mana. Too bad its a gameboy game

@Kr96 I'm not saying it sold poorly if that's what you mightve been thinking. Just that half of those sales were on ps4.

That ratio should definitely be more skewered in favor of switch considering SMT has been exclusive to ninty for a while now so it's fans are on ninty consoles. Nocturne is more newer for ninty fans, it got a Direct spotlight, and there's basically double the amount of switches out there than ps4 in japan

All of that and yet half of it's sales still came from ps4. I don't doubt SMTV will outsell this HD remaster but clearly SMT still has a fanbase on other platforms. And considering it's trying to get out of Persona's shadow, its definitely missing out when potentially half of it's playerbase won't be able to buy it

Also i find it ridiculous that Royal sales are considered underwhelming in japan when it kept pace with the ps4 version of P5. As you said, japan doesn't take too well with remasters. It makes no sense that a remaster selling almost as good as the original should be considered underwhelming unless sega's expectations are just super high

Great more port begging. Please atlus just port all your games on every platform.

Because if there's one series thats losing out on money being stuck on 1 platform, it's SMT. Considering Nocturne hd only sold 5k more on switch than on ps4, smt is losing more or less half of it's potential sales being exclusive and that's not even counting pc

Feels like it's only been about 2-3 years as I've barely touched my switch since FE. Hope the next 4 years has more than 6 or 7 titles worth coughing up $60 for

@TheLightSpirit Best case scenario they'll add in the original alongside any song they remix, like they've done with some others

But yeah most remixes just weren't doing it for me, especially the persona songs imo

I'm probably the only one that doesn't really like very many of the remixed songs in smash. So I'm just hoping they don't remix any of my favorites that they add

Counterattack is probably getting remixed tho so i just hope it's catchy enough

A terrible render of a terrible artist with random pokemon stuff in the background. That's all this was

Its really ugly. If they were gonna be lazy with this remake, they should've at least used the chibi style from ORAS

Those designs are a great fit for pokemon and even tho it would've instead looked like another 3ds game, at least it would've been better than whatever this is

@Kirgo funny cause this very article starts off with a guy being cautious about a series that's let him down and another guy calls him entitled for thinking sword and shield are bad games lmao

Oh and another 1 where we're called haters and to stop "hating" for not showering gf in praise over finally getting their **** together for once even if just a little

And another guy saying we're absolutely hopeless for criticizing early footage when that didn't change the fact that final sword and shield footage looked exactly the same as early footage lol and there's nothing wrong with pointing out the bad stuff in a trailer that you might be wary of

This still looks like complete crap from a company that makes millions. Where does all the money go from all the milking that was in the beginning of this direct?

That said this is still a bigger step in the right direction than lets go and Sw/Sh ever were. The way they were catching pokemon was something out of my dreams. I will definitely keep an eye on this

This doesn't look worth $60. The style worked well in 2d on DS. Who thought it was a good idea to recreate it in 3d?

Even tho i wanted more xenoblade and not smash, i still ended up buying the 2nd pass because of this reveal (altho i still find it hypocritical how this is seemingly getting off lighter despite still being censorship)

Also I really like how half of the dlc characters have been JRPG characters from games that I've enjoyed lmao. I know it'll get some people mad, but i still hope one of the last 2 characters is another JRPG one

Years ago I'd get hyped thinking about a remake of D&P and also B&W. Now i don't trust them to make the same charming games from the ds era

My head hurts from all the eye rolls i did after reading each sentence

Better late than never i guess. Id much rather see this top charts than that abomination of a JRPG known as pokemon. Its probably the one switch game that made me think "boy am I glad I got a switch"

That said, it's still very much one of the weaker xeno games. The 1st xenoblade is better in almost every way except the location designs. XB2 has gorgeous locations when you can actually see it through the low resolution

I guarantee you i spent more money on the 6-7 switch games and pro controller i have than the 16 ish games i got on sale on ps4 recently

This was the only thing that really caught my attention in that bore of a direct and that's because I've never played it and I'm really itching for a new actual zelda experience after the sour taste BotW left in my mouth

But that pricing is a huge rip off so i won't be buying it right away if at all. So i guess I'll just continue to pirate their 3ds games, and see if any of their switch games go down in price. But if it doesn't oh well, I'm used to my switch collecting dust anyway

Edit: oh yeah ill likely even be able to sell my switch at full price or more in the future, considering ninty fans are ok with being ripped off lmao

@TheFrenchiestFry going by the comparison video on youtube, the loading times on switch are absolutely horrendous compared to ps4. Theyre still double the amount or even more at times.

Its basically reaching sonic 06 levels of load times

@COVIDberry lmao actually i wasn't expecting anything at all. I only hoped to see a tease from monolith's next work which is why that very 1st trailer is such a letdown, and a bit more of smtv

I was surprised by the decent amount of JRPG advertising, it's just a shame not much of it is has me particularly excited and/or is coming to other platforms so I'd play elsewhere

As a JRPG fan, this direct was pretty boring. I think I wouldve preferred an actual xenoblade 2 sequel like i thought it was at 1st over it just being a dlc for a fighting game i rarely play anymore

I'm not too optimistic about triangle strategy considering how generic or just downright bad the story and writing was in octopath. But the style of the game at least fits an SRPG better over an actual JRPG

Legend of mana was neat, can't wait to play a decades old game if it has a physical copy otherwise I'll emulate it

Oh yeah i forgot the most important thing, no smt 5. My most anticipated switch JRPG wasn't even mentioned or teased lol

This and legend of mana were the only decent things in that direct. And that's mainly cause i never got to play either

Probably one of the most boring directs I've had to force myself to sit through

@RadioHedgeFund if you mean links awakening as in with that ugly toy looking design, please no. Minish cap is too good for that

So glad for the capcom leak. I had great ace attorney english patched and ready to go on my 3ds. But i think I'll wait to play it on ps4 1st, then play the fan translation to compare as I hear good things about it

Loved phantom hourglass despite playing it on a tablet so the controls were even more frustrating than usual. It was basically a mini wind waker which is all that i could've wanted from a ds zelda and it worked for the most part

As a huge zelda fan, BotW was a pretty huge disappointment. Combat is extremely basic and the weapon durability is horrible. Weapons are clearly made of plastic because they break so fast. And it's even more lame that most of the weapons enemies have are low tier weapons because the game also lacks a variety of enemies. You're almost always fighting bokoblins and reskins of them

Music is also extremely underwhelming with barely any for "ambience" and what little is there is horrible. The music when you fight mini bosses sounds like someone hitting random piano notes.

There's a lot more issues this game has, especially with how repetitive exploring gets and how little reward it gives for exploring, but even so the Zelda fan in me still hopes BotW 2 can fix the many mistakes it made despite it just looking more of the same. At least ganondorf looks way cooler now

@rjejr no problem but i read wrong again lol. The 30 times only is limited to solo and local going by the website. For online, it says it's playable until the date they set. Kinda weird how they're going about it but I'm just slightly disappointed there's only 2 monsters to hunt instead of the usual 3

You can only play each quest 30 times and there's only 2 of them really... Hopefully there's other monsters roaming in both quests cause the 1st one is going to be too easy

Edit: nvrmind, i think it meant in total you can play 30 times which is still pretty meh

@Ralek85 exactly the main reason I bought my 3ds. As a JRPG fan, i can't see how anyone would think it's not a must own. I still have so many games to get through on it. Easily one of my favorite consoles

@JaxonH wow do you know which trailer? I forget you always have to watch out for any exclusive footage in japanese trailers lol

I still use my 3ds far more than my switch. The library on it is just amazing and that's not even counting when you add in the ability to play gba, ds, nes, snes, and ps1 along with it. It's the almost perfect little machine

@JaxonH unfortunately can't call myself a big MH fan but I've played almost all the demos they've released for the series and loved them all. Just never got around to actually buying them for some reason lol. For sure World is another amazing entry into the series, i do plan to play it once Im done with all the 3ds games.

The trailers for rise have been amazing so far. It looks really nice and clean but that's what I thought about the DQ11 trailers, but the demo didn't look nearly the same. All the scenery fading in and out, from trees and barrels to the actual textures and windows on houses depending on how close you were to it, really put me off the switch version. That doesn't happen on the PS4 version of S

Everything else looks so good though, that i don't see myself not ever playing it, be it switch or pc or any other place. I'm really hoping khezu and gigginox get the update treatment. Its a shame they didn't for world

@JaxonH the leaks are pretty much why I'm not holding my breath. But i don't mind holding off for a pretty long while considering I've got about four games worth of MH to get through on 3ds. And still haven't even played MHW plus the expansion

Im gonna need to try the demo to see for myself how it looks cause I just don't like how pixelated and blurry games look on switch. It's why I never bought DQ11 on it cause I played the demo on both switch and ps4 and the improvements were very noticeable. At least with the 3ds games, theyre on a pure handheld thats extremely weak compared to switch by default. If by then, nothing's announced or talked about ill just get it on switch. That's what i bought the switch for. For any and all exclusives that interest me

Plus Rise looks like another amazing MH. I hope the demo has hidden monsters to fight aside from the 3 hunts like the demos for MHW

Haven't touched my switch since like the beginning of the year. Can't wait to dust it off to try the demo. I recently hacked my 3ds and have been going through MH3U, it's been amazing.

But with Rise and stories 2 coming to pc, im gonna hold off on purchasing the game to see where it'll land. I'm hoping it might land on ps5 eventually but i won't hold my breath

I love both but lean a little more towards 3d just because they actually try more in telling an engaging story to go along with the fun puzzle solving in intricate dungeons and exploring the overworld

Too bad BotW barely has any semblance of what made those 3d games fun so I've been dying to play another good 3d zelda since TP , but I hope 2 makes up for it. Ganon in the trailer lit a small fire of hope in me

The Japanese one is an explosion of characters all over the place and not in a good way. Take out the crowd at the bottom and maybe it'll be passable. It makes sense why they were put, but it's hardly relevant and just makes it so messy

And that actually leaves more space for the more important characters hiding in the corners of the map

I don't want to live in this cruel and twisted reality where we never get a good paper mario game ever again

If it ends up working fine after some while, great. Haven't used my 3ds in a while let alone buy games for it. Hope to try some games I've been interested in, but never got around to buying, assuming itll even work of course

@BlackenedHalo I don't hate it, I just think it's one of the weaker xeno titles. And that's mainly due to the story being very generic especially during the 1st half where it's tropes and cliches straight out of a shounen like fairy tail.

There's issues with it's gameplay mechanics as well but overall, I still liked it enough for it to be one of my favorite games on the switch so far. But the superior XC1 is almost out anyway lol

Even tho XC2 was kinda underwhelming compared to almost any other xeno game, there hasn't been a game I dislike from monolith soft yet

If it's a new ip, im sure itd turn out fun, but I'm also hoping its more Xenoblade goodness

@Saro whatever monetary practices it has and it's performance aren't the only things it's getting criticism for. Altho Kirby's online mode being bad should definitely still warrant criticism

I was mainly referring to the actual gameplay limitation they were talking about

Harsh. Wonder how the free to play Kirby game fared. What with them being pretty similar in limitations

10/10. It's the only acceptable outcome when Zelda is one of my favorite series of all time

Gotta be honest though, I guessed on that last one lol. I remember seeing his last name before but it isn't like I'm gonna go out of my way to remember something so unimportant

What's hilarious is that people think 3.5 million in 3 days is bad when they even made a post about it to celebrate. And the number is only going to grow lmao. Doesn't matter how big you thought the hype was, JRPGs don't sell like crazy especially in Japan of all places. The only ones that do that there is dragon quest and pokemon

JRPGs have been doing so much better in recent times, but they'll likely never attract the casuals that go buy Fifa and animal crossing in droves

Not really into the origami style. Immediately seeing what seems to be a fake peach, I cringed. I'll need to see more to get a better understanding

At the very least, exploration looks like it could be fun. But pretty much everything else looked nothing like what made the 1st 2 games fun

Please as long as it has something to do with the adventure series. I love those games, flaws and everything

This game just keeps getting better and better. Not that I dislike the remastered versions but I've been listening to the originals for so long. I just can't see myself playing this gem without them
