@Low_ink I'd love for them to have the first and second on Switch!
Unfortunately, either that's not feasible for them or... Well I don't know. Perhaps the scope of the game is so big that it's not so easy to dial it back? I'm no professional when it comes to this stuff.
Hopefully, we get the first two games at some point.
A lot of people have network around them so they could still play anywhere. Plus, a lot of people also play mostly docked, so this still wouldn't be that big of a deal.
I just take this for what it is, a way for us to play a next-gen game on older hardware. It's what we'll have to settle for until Nintendo gives us something stronger or the devs spend a lot of man-hours trying to scale things back to make the game work, like the DOOM ports.
@johnvboy Yep, it was basically me saying that I thought people would make jokes about this game, which people interpreted as me making a joke about the game and dementia as a whole. 🤷♂️
@StefanN I meant exactly what I said, just that I thought people would probably take this game and use it as a meme on other people.
For some reason, people (I see you @ChakraStomps) thought I was actually making a statement other than that, I wasn't.
You guys gotta chill, not everyone is trying to use double meanings and whatnot. I actually watched my grandfather suffer from dementia. It sucked seeing him like that, and he got to the point where he barely recognized me.
That, and some people use jokes to cope. Not that I was joking. :/
@Would_you_kindly The option option is for me to wait until it's cheaper in another region and try there. Argentina often has stuff cheaper than the US
Technically, I could get this game cheaper by $5 if I bought it from Brazil
@JDig Oh, you mean that someone announcing that they had a white character would probably get canceled?
Yeah that's just based on my own opinions. When I see what typically gets canceled on stuff like Twitter, I often notice that praising whiteness in any way tends to get ratio'd praising blackness is generally accepted. It's also acceptable to say that one hates white people but saying the same to black people or other minorities is usually not accepted.
I don't have any peer reviewed studies or anything, these are just the observations I've made.
@JDig I haven't really guessed about anything though... I just pointed out that we have no evidence from the game dev that the publishers turned him down because of his race. At least, not in this article.
That's not a guess, that's just a fact, unless you see something I don't.
Also, I'm not worked up. I mean, if you think I'm worked up now then I wonder what you think I'd look like if I was calm, haha.
@WatsonWatson Why should I have to prove it? I never made a claim about consciousness and you're the one who brought it up. That was a cute way to kinda run from the discussion though.
I'll buy the game if it's good, I could care less what race they are though, I don't buy based of skin color, seems a lil racist to me.
@JDig You're aren't wrong, though my point still stands, if they did try to announce it they would ge canceled immediately.
@WatsonWatson No, that was just in general. If we keep getting people making claims without any evidence and it comes out that they are wrong, people will take racism less seriously. I probably could have phrased that better, thanks for pointing that out.
I'm not saying the developer lied because I don't know enough about them to say who's telling the truth. It could be they did lie and were racist. It could be that this guy who seems to be hinting at racism made it up. I don't know, no one has provided any evidence yet.
@WatsonWatson I'm sorry but that's not how it works. if someone makes a claim, it's up to them to provide their own evidence. The only claim I've made so far is that this person has not provided any evidence... Which they haven't, yet.
@roz061 My main point though was that there are times we're people will jump to conclusions before the evidence comes out, and that gets folks hurt.
My other point was that some people don't care even with evidence, which is kinda sad. That was just a throwaway comment. Most people, when they see the evidence, are honest enough to change their mind.
But yeah, I would LIKE to believe him to, but I can't because he's given me no reason to believe that his specific cases are a result of racism. I'm not going to start attacking people just because he said racism.
All that does is hurt people who really are dealing with racism. It's the "boy crying wolf" issue all over again. You keep saying stuff is racism without evidence (and it comes out to be a lie, assuming this person here is lying), and then when it happens, no one will take you seriously.
Though no one should be making accusations without evidence. It's possible to hurt someone with accusations alone. Especially when it involves a case where people are willing to just strike as soon as they hear something. Like when you get these cases of women at work making accusations that someone was making moves on them, but show no evidence.
I'd like to believe they are honest, but I can't know if they don't provide any proof.
@WatsonWatson The only thing I want to read right now is any evidence the developer provides to prove that he was descriminated in the work place.
I don't doubt that there are racist jerks out there who would pass up on someone based on their skin color. I'm not interested in them right now, I'm focused on this one guy right here and the people he seems to be suggesting descriminated against him. Where's the evidence?
@WatsonWatson privileged protections? Black people have that now as well. You can't even criticize black people in certain areas without being called racist, and heaven help you if you hurt one of us even in self-defense and it goes public.
@Spiders I'd say it's about as new as the US is new, imo anyway. We have our own culture here.
@WatsonWatson Why wouldn't they be? Slavery was still going strong in other places when they ended it and is STILL a thing today.

Re: Hitman 3 - Cloud Version Now Includes 60FPS Performance Mode On Switch
@Low_ink How does it stop play anywhere?
A lot of people have network around them so they could still play anywhere. Plus, a lot of people also play mostly docked, so this still wouldn't be that big of a deal.

Re: Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures Gets Spooky On Switch This Halloween
@jcboyer515 Ahhh, I wasn't paying attention. I thought it was coming out like, now. This makes way more sense, thanks.
Re: Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures Gets Spooky On Switch This Halloween
This seems like a pretty random time to come out with this game, what even prompted this?
Edit: Whoops, thought this was coming out now, not later near Halloween. Now it makes more sense.
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
@konbinilife I don't blame you, this site still gets some info in and I haven't found another site like this one that I like, so I'm here currently.
That, and last time I left, people thought I died or something. My fault for getting first comment so much, I guess :B
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
@somebread Assuming they actually WERE off topic, I never saw what they were.
Re: Hardware Review: PowerA Fusion Pro - A Customisable Pro Controller Rival With A Steep Price
Button customization is always a plus, though I haven't run into a game yet where I need it, and the Switch let's you do that already, yes?
That price too, goodness. I don't think this is a bad product at all, just not something I need right now.
I actually use my pro-controller more on my PC than my Switch these days. It works pretty well, most of the time.
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
@SuperWeird I'm seeing a lot of claims from those workers, but nothing to back them up.
Re: Random: Elon Musk Appears On Saturday Night Live As Wario
Isn't he the guy that has been doing some philanthropic work and also is based?
As long as he is helping people, I don't really care what he says.

Re: Random: The Internet Goes Wild For New Waluigi Render
That's certainly... Waluigi. Only he could pull off a pose like that.
I wouldn't go so far as to say the internet is explaoding about this, though.
Re: Bandai Namco Just Registered New Trademarks For The GameCube Exclusive Series Baten Kaitos
I tried to like that game as a kid but got tutned off by the story and game mechanics.
I loved the music, though.
Re: Winds Of Change Is The "Ultimate Furry Tale" Coming To Switch This June
@Gabaz09 disgusting? I mean, I don't know anything about the game, and I don't intend to buy it.
That said, assuming it's sfw, I wouldn't say it's disgusting.
Though the steam page says you can persue relationships regardless of gender, so I wonder how that works...
Re: Winds Of Change Is The "Ultimate Furry Tale" Coming To Switch This June
I think the correct answer to your question is, "Yes."
One of the features from the steam page is:
"Pursue friendships, and even romances! (not limited by gender)"
Hmmm.... 🤔

Re: Super Animal Royale Is Parachuting Onto Switch Later This Year
@pixelpatch It's had a decent following on Steam for a while now. It's "late" but the community is suprisingly chill.
Re: Super Animal Royale Is Parachuting Onto Switch Later This Year
Sweet, this game is actually kinda fun.
I've played it a few times on steam and it's decent.

@Scollurio I can't change my voice, that's the main thing I wanna change.
If we get a free vouchers, that's still sad since that's a feature you'd expect most games to have built in for free.
Re: Random: This Incredible Animal Crossing Short Will Make You Feel Bad About Auctioning Off Your Villagers
Maybe, but the money you make in the process eases the burn a bit.

Re: Round Up: The New Pokémon Snap Reviews Are In
@ok1 After working at Walmart for almost 10years, just the thought of being back there is enough to give me anxiety, lol.
You're not wrong though, good suggestion.

E3 huh?
I'm more hyped for the next Nintendo direct than E3 as a whole, personally.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Version 2.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@VoidofLight Personally, I don't think you should have to pay for stuff like that, unless it's voices that they added in later or something.
That's just me though.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game
@WatsonWatson How about you first prove your claim that I called the developer a liar.
Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game
@roz061 Actually, just because someone has evidence doesn't change things when everyone is still on the "believe certain people no matter what" train.
And I wouldn't say someone is lying because they a lack evidence, I will say that I have no obligation to believe them.
