Re: Yooka-Laylee Will Be Getting a Boxed Release

@JubilifeRival You've also got to take into account that the studio working on this game is the core of Rareware, and that they have a stellar reputation. They haven't had a shot in some time now, so fans of their previous products are excited.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Flops on UK Debut

Bad press or not, the game was still-born, and now the people that bought it will have a hard time actually finding others online, which further decreases the appeal of the game.
Personally, I'd have gotten the game if there was a decent solo, bt it doesn't even have that.

Re: French Publisher Launches Kickstarter to Fund Gaming Books, Including Zelda: Archive of a Legendary Saga

Kosmo

@Piersen Since the books don't use any images, artwork, extracts or anything copyrighted, a cease and desist can't be issued. The whole is plain text, just giving info about the series and some insight.
Another French publisher called Pix'N'Love does use pictures and such for some books but has a partnership with the concerned parties (namely Sega and Nintendo for Metroid's 30th). If you can read french, go to their website and see their little explantation about how they can publish their books without worry, even without a partnership. It's interesting.

Having read those books (I'm French), I can highly recommend them. They are very well written.

Re: Editorial: Monster Hunter - Vicious Cruelty With Cute Cats and Silly Animations

Actually, the "cruelty" towards animals is adressed in the different Monster Hunter mangas (Orage, Flash and Chronicles, here in France).

It's said that the Guild regulates the hunts, and that it punished unauthorized ones. It examinates requests and validates them, or not. Of course, enough money can bypass such regulations. Also, the monster are pushed in the "Hunt zones" that we play in by Guild Hunters, so that there are no consequence on their natural habitat.
According to the mangas, only feral monsters roaming in human-inhabited areas (which there aren't a lot of, understandably) can be hunted without Guild permissions by local Hunters.

And let's face it, if the Guild didn't keep ALL the Rathian scales and Plates, I wouldn't have to kill a F%$*!ton of them to make my armor!!!!! XD

Re: Fire Emblem Fates New Nintendo 3DS XL Model Confirmed, Along With DLC Details

@GunplaGamer First, thank you for being nice.

But no, I'm not confused. I'm standing by what I say. Hear me out: the writers wrote 3 scenarios, developped them, and released them separately. Why? It has nothing to do with cartridge space: everything should be able to fit one of them.
It's all about the money. They know people want the full experience. They know everyone will take both versions anyway. Is there anyone who won't? And Revelations? Same thing. People are curious, they're gonna want to see it.
Buying another cartridge to have the full experience of the same game, not even a sequel or anything, is basically physical DLC.
Now, the Japanese sadly are used to this kind of scam. They often get re-releases of a game some 6 months after, at full retail price. Just look at how Kingdom Hearts was handled, for example. But in the West, we don't do that, except for Street Fighter.

I don't want to have to buy two Metroid games, just to see what happens if I take a right turn instead of left at one decive moment.
I don't want to have to buy Starfox 64 10 times just to see all the endings (with 2 as paying DLC)
I don't want to have to buy another Smash Bros game if I want to change my main.
And I sure as hell don't want to buy 2 Fire Emblem games plus 1 DLC to see all the ramifications of a scenario.

Re: Fire Emblem Fates New Nintendo 3DS XL Model Confirmed, Along With DLC Details

Seriously, what a load of bullcrap! So we have to pay for TWO games, one DLC that actually co,tains an ending, and then for some maps?
Then why didn't Fire Emblem on GBA wasn't released in two copies? Why not separate Eliwood's quest from the others?
And for those buying the game used, you don't even get the three scenarios...
Seriously, this is bad. I'm boycotting this game.
