The games industry as a whole has come to use patches and updates as a crutch. How many other industries get to knowingly ship incomplete or broken products with this frequency?
@ThePizzaCheese I can imagine it must be very frustrating to not always be seen as an individual. I have three younger sisters- 2 are doctors and 1 is a CEO, I get the comparison bit but at least I can be a disappointment on my own terms >_<
@ThePizzaCheese it was clear to me when I read it but I don’t have a twin so I’m less sensitive on the subject.
Got to say though, I feel like an apology to Liam is in order. Calling him sexist and a misandrist based on your misreading of the article was a bit much.
No, I don’t want to see Yakuza on Switch because when I’m walking around with the day people I don’t want to have that feeling like I should be underground picking a fight with the world.
These new maps are bland as hell and totally not geared for my play style. I’m sure i’m in the minority because they seem to be working well for all my opponents who splat me constantly.
I’m glad Nintendo did a demo before my preorder got dispatched.
@sanderev it’s more like I ctrl-c a copy of the famous painting and keep that in my filthy home. There’s no objective loss, there’s the potential loss of a sale.
@JJtheTexan Steven is confusing ‘collector’ with ‘speculator’.
The first is someone who derives pleasure from owning something that brings them joy, the latter is someone who can’t understand value beyond the monetary.
I have a Kubrick Gray Fox figure from Metal Gear Solid that I will always love (even if the sword cable keeps popping out and is a pig to get back into place)
@Bunkerneath so in this example where you delete your local data, the game is no longer hosted to redownload but you want to go back and play- a “flawed” physical copy is inferior to a no longer existent digital copy how?
@falkyn it reads as though you’re harbouring some deep resentment over a specific situation that you are projecting very heavily on to a dead person who had nothing to do with it. I hope you get some relief from your pain soon, friend.
What kind of half hearted journalism is this? I DEMAND you unearth each of the 53 variants and provide your commentary on each successive iteration!!1!
@Aawill91 I remember a decade ago where publishers were trying to stop the resell of physical games, there’s no way they will facilitate consumers eating into their full price sales by enabling us to undercut their prices reselling digital games.
What he’s talking about has been possible and done for years already. If the likes of Reggie, SquareEnix and Ubisoft want to introduce the blockchain it will only be to benefit themselves not players.
@Knuckles well spotted! It’s a shame they didn’t go with UK date format then and make it 236.91, but good they didn’t go with Japanese format and make it 916.23

Re: Nintendo Introduces Marth In Fire Emblem Engage
@MeloMan because he keeps being called “Emblem Marth” I think he might just be a summoned essence
Re: We've Got To Wait A Bit Longer For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector's Editions (EU + UK)
Collectors Editions are so lackluster now. A tin case and a book?
Re: Skyrim Anniversary Switch Players Seem To Be Experiencing Performance Issues
@westman98 ikr, if it had launched without bugs they would have released a 1.1 to patch them IN
Re: Random: Chris Pratt Is Mario In This Unreal Engine Super Mario Bros. Remake
I know the real work was the game itself (which is really impressive) but the commentary on the trailer is so funny

Re: School Girl Ninja Hack 'N Slash Samurai Maiden Launches On Switch December 8
Well that first trailer certainly took a turn
Re: Yakuza Dev Still Doesn't Think Switch Is The Right Platform For The Series
No, I don’t want to see Yakuza on Switch because when I’m walking around with the day people I don’t want to have that feeling like I should be underground picking a fight with the world.
Obviously.
Re: Reminder: Splatoon 3's First Splatfest Starts Today

Re: Gothic Horror Dating Sim/Murder Mystery 'Mask Of The Rose' Delayed To 2023
That is one niche genre! I’m looking forward to playing it when it’s ready
Re: New Denuvo 'Switch Emulator Protection' Tech Launches, And Players Are Worried
@CodyMKW totally, there have been cases of PC games where the pirated version runs better than the retail version for just this reason
Re: Never Played Splatoon? Nintendo's Splatoon 3 Beginner's Guide Will Help
@EliSweetG yes we do. If anything, we need more. I love Splatoon and I’m enjoying the coverage
Re: GAME's 'Home Arcade' Range Lets You Build The Arcade Of Your Dreams

Re: Sega Genesis Mini 2 Stock Expected To Be In Short Supply Locally
I feel like the better route would be for mini consoles to have access to an eshop rather than a whole new gadget just for 50 more games.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
@Ade117 i always loved how the edges of wii u discs felt, so smooth and premium. Every other disc feels like trash in comparison!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
@Tobiaku i like how each of your items is flawed in some way. Like, yeah each item is imperfect but they’re still awesome
Re: Talking Point: What's The Highlight Of Your Game Collection?
I have a Kubrick Gray Fox figure from Metal Gear Solid that I will always love (even if the sword cable keeps popping out and is a pig to get back into place)
Re: Random: Super Mario World Is One Billion Seconds Old Today
I was only 375000000 seconds old when Mario World came out. Boy have those 1000000000 seconds flown by!
Re: Say Hello To Time Extension, The Newest Member Of Our Network
Why yes, I do! I do like classic gaming!!
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Day One Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Bunkerneath so in this example where you delete your local data, the game is no longer hosted to redownload but you want to go back and play- a “flawed” physical copy is inferior to a no longer existent digital copy how?
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3's Day One Update Is Out Now, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Bunkerneath how does this make the physical version pointless? It’s still a playable game that can be traded or sold
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Special Edition Pre-Orders Delayed Until After Launch (UK + EU)
I don’t pretend to know the logistics behind this, but Nintendo have managed to put out so much grander special editions on time.
Re: Here’s Your First Look At Nintendo’s 14-Feet Tall LEGO Bowser
@BloodNinja extra points if Bowser shouts “Ow… Lego!”
Re: Pre-Orders For Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition Open From Tomorrow (US)
Wow that is… underwhelming
Re: Danganronpa, Hades, And Doki Doki Literature Club Nendoroids Are Coming Soon
I don’t want all of them, just Monika

Re: Aspyr Is Bringing Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic II To Switch This June
@shaneoh release the ending at the same time as the rest of the game? You brilliant maniac, I love it!!

Re: Fornite Brings Back Lightsabers And Blasters For Star Wars Day Celebrations
@HotGoomba Good! Let the hate flow through you!
Re: Man Dies Following An Incident Involving Stolen Pokémon Cards
@SwitchVogel “looks like Florida PD is blasting again!”
Re: Man Dies Following An Incident Involving Stolen Pokémon Cards
This is a tragedy. Apparently staff had previously voiced concerns over store policy to call police and the likelihood that it could end badly.
Re: Random: Metroid Prime's Logo Went Through 53 Different Iterations
@Jackpaza0508 the first 52 were all in Comic Sans. What could have been.

Re: Ninja Wanted To Add $500K To Smash EVO 2019 Prize Pool, But Was Apparently "Ghosted" By Nintendo
Why did Ninja need Nintendo’s permission? Couldn’t he have just put up the prize money himself anyway- y’know, to support the “community”
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Is A Big Believer In Blockchain And "Play To Own"
@Aawill91 I remember a decade ago where publishers were trying to stop the resell of physical games, there’s no way they will facilitate consumers eating into their full price sales by enabling us to undercut their prices reselling digital games.

What he’s talking about has been possible and done for years already. If the likes of Reggie, SquareEnix and Ubisoft want to introduce the blockchain it will only be to benefit themselves not players.
Re: Talking Point: WATA And The Grey Areas Of Game Preservation - Is There Any Better Way?
“Most would like a wonderful world where all rare gaming history is shared freely for the public to enjoy. That's not the world we're in, though”
It could be though, and I don’t think that this a great argument to just give up and help maintain this crappy situation

@Kidfunkadelic83 What?!? That’s bonkers! Thanks for saving me from finding that out myself
Re: Channel Your Inner John Wick Against Evil Dog Thieves In 'The Last Friend'
Wow, that’s a violent looking videogame. Why are you punching people?
They steal dogs.
-_- Pass me the controller.
Re: First 4 Figures Unveils Stunning New Sonic The Hedgehog Statue, Pre-Orders Now Open

Re: First 4 Figures Unveils Stunning New Sonic The Hedgehog Statue, Pre-Orders Now Open
Is that a hefty price tag? It seems it to me but I’m not a collector
Re: Random: "Fake" Switch Version Of Elden Ring Appears Online, But It's Just For Fun
@Fizza i think I could 3d print a convincing one, I could print you a fake Switch to put it in too 😃
edit- @Kidfunkadelic83 I think i’d rather end up with a useless 3d printed dummy cartridge than THAT!
Re: 'Seven Pirates H' Brings, Ahem, "Booby Training" To Switch This May
@Ryu_Niiyama I typed out a whole synopsis of a male equivalent to this game, then I realised that posting it would definitely get me modded >_<
