I haven't played since February, after over 500 hours in the game. I'll probably rip out some of my early builds to make room for some of the new stuff. And since I finally got all my flower hybrids, I can use my old breeding grounds as farmland.
I figured I'd boot it up in the next day or two to see how many of my villagers starved to death and see what horrors have befallen my house. I'm super excited for the DLC. I bever got around to paying Hapoy Home Designer, abut it was on my wishlist for some long.
@fafonio And that's great, that's your money, but every single person in my family group and my brother's family group has been disappointed by the price and content, and neither of us have gotten it
I think what a lot of the Nintendo defenders aren't getting is that it isn't that people can't afford it or are being frugal or whatever. Could I pay $80 to get this? Yes. I coukd totally afford that. But is it worth that? Ah heck no. That isn't anywhere close to the right value. That'd be like saying that it's fine to spend $20 on a McDonald's coffee because in the long run, $20 isn't that much. That'd be ridiculous
@johnvboy It's not about the actual cost. It's that they're charging over twice as much for it. They originally treated the NSO like you were paying for the online and cloud backup and such, and the emus were bonuses. Now they're charging so much for another little extra.
Before it was announced, people were guessing prices, there was even a poll on here. People were hoping for $5, guessing for 10. A few thought it may even be 15. For it to be literally twice the price of what people were personally valuing it is insane.
And no, I know I'm not the only one, There are people all over the internet talking about it. My family and friends with Switchs are all cringing at the price. Don't defend the super rich ultra company's greed, it's apparent they won't reward your loyalty
Ibwas really hoping the backlash would cause a price cut... Well not a single person in my family group was happy about the price, so unless we double the amount of people on the account, I'm not gettong it
That's funny, because I spent the last week playing Skyward Sword, and I kept having to turn down the volume, because I was worried my parents would hear the vocalizations and misunderstand
That was such a fun trailer. My friend played games, but wasn't vested in much more than Animal Crossing, but I sat her down and showwd her to trailer, and it was so hype that she was instantly in love and announced to my parents that she was getting one. It was pretty cute.
I mostly play portable right now, with everyone being home due to the pandemic, but there are times that I want to use a tv. New games, conematic games, pretty games. Though our nice tv got friend in a power outage, and we're currently borrowing a very very nice tv... From 2008
There was that poll on here last week, asking if people thought it'd be $5 or $10. That's what everyone was guessing. People were valuing the expansion at five or ten dollqrs. Some people thought it may be fifteen. If Nintendo was crazy. Having Nintendo come out with a price three or five times higher than what the consumers were valuing it is insane
@Ryu_Niiyama Except that just makes it worst, a 150% price increase for two twenty-five year old emulators, with a track record of resorting to shovelware updates
So where I buy a cd of the soundtrack for my dad? The movies are some of his two favorites, and when I got him the OST CDs for his anniversary, he was a happy man, even though he already had many of those on record.... Jeez he's so old.
I love to just flop my arms to my sides when I play. My friend with back probably blens love the freedom it gives her. The design is great, if only they weren't plagued with mechanical issues
Heck, Nintendo struggles to make games accessible for lefties. It's not like Nintendo isn't make games accessible because it would ruin the integrity of the game design, or other such nonsense, they don't even notice there's a problem in the first place, and that's the issue
If you can't replace it, it's not exactly a screen protector. Nothing is as satisfying as peeling off a super scratched up 3DS screen protector and seeing the beautifully fresh screen underneith
I had been borrowing Shield from my brother, but gave it back to him a few weeks ago, so I asked him to redeem them and give the mons to me eventually. For some reason, the codes don't work in Home
@JugOfVoodoo I was nine, and it was the first Pokemon game that was actually mine, and my brother was 16 and very excited at the new and shiny world of rom hacking.
@JugOfVoodoo Yeah, DP was sooo bad. Ky brother had just figured out cart hacking and gave me two hm slaves with all 8 HMs, and I just always had to carry the stupid things, with how much you constantly faced waist high trees and small rocks for no reason. I can't imagibe how it was if you had to spread the HMs out further
I've always refered to handhelds and handhelds, and home systems as consoles. Orobably not truly accurate, but I've never had anyone say I was wrong, sooo...
@BakaKnight That's exactly what my brother did in Phantom Hourglass too. He was so excited by it I'm pretty sure he went back to his previous save so he could show the puzzle to me, his little sister. It's a cute memory :3
Whaaaat? The video games being graded and sold by the same people for massively unprecedented prices are a scam?? Now you'll be telling me that modern art auctions are just a way for rich people to commit tax evasion! Say it isn't so!
I'm okay with the chibi design, but I wish they did a three-head tall chibi, instead of two. The super deformed look doesn't look good outside of like, merchandise. Also it makes things like walking animations looky doofy as heck
If your children are spending too much time playing video games, playing games too vioent for them, or having behavioral problems because of what type of how long they play the games; it's not the child's fault, it's the parent's! The parent's job is to decipline and teach, kids don't learn in a vacuum!
It's hard to know for sure, since I had an older brother who owned a GBC probably from shortly after I was born. The first game I actually remember playing is Pokemon Yellow. My brother let ne play on a new game, as long as I didn't save over his new file, but I didn't realize that messing with the PC would save the game. Oops. I could read from a very young age, but I guess my comprehension wasn't always there
I'm sure the rich people that made this think that it's no big deal to throw a videogame console into the trash. It's only like, a couple hundred dollars in today money, it's fine
I got his Zelda one, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The art is so beautiful, and it even came with a separate map of the overworld. I keep it safely in it's golden shipping package on my shelf, but I'm wanting to use it to replay the original LoZ when I have a day
