Unless there's a massive single player campaign revealed I'm not buying. The game looks to be quality, but I am not a young social person who can take advantage of this game.
That happened to me with the original. It was a fun multiplayer game at the time when personally all my friends were done with that.
I feel so bad for KC who made that comic strip and no one knows it. I'd feel so bad if I made something and the Internet just took it without any credit or compensation.
Even though I read all his work, I'll buy this just to give back to the person.
@AussieMcBucket which one was gold? Was it the second one? I have a hard time remembering. I loved red and Yellow as an older kid, but I was already bored and never finished the first follow up mainline.
This isn't a very good way to discuss this. Buying habits are far from consistent. In certain years of my life I bought several games a month. Others it's no games at all. Are we including games that cost less than 10 bucks? Somehow it doesn't feel like spending 4 bucks on hyper sale counts. I have bought like 10 new games just because of the switch 2... But some of those were Switch games I just didn't buy at all. Since the Wii era I feel like I buy a lot to start with a console and then stop all together halfway through, mostly because I'm poor but also because there's so many options you don't end up getting anything. If I look at my switch alone right now my play history is pretty empty. Mario Kart world because I got it with the bundle and cyberpunk along with Balatro are three games I bought. So that's 2 or 3 based on price? I got Wonder which I regret. I returned Madden. Then I have like Owlboy a short hike, and like 4 more games that cost less than a cheap meal.
That's a lot according to the poll... But it seems like almost nothing.
I actually think last year I got RDR2, Spider-Man, and maybe crusader kings 3 on PC. And I got tears... Was that the year before? IDK. I have like no money so I feel I should be in the low end but this data makes me feel like I'm getting a lot?
@AstroTheGamosian Breath of the Wild. I think that the gameplay was more engaging. Red was definitely better in graphics and story, but gameplay aspects are more important when evaluating games. They both were masterpieces. And Chrono Trigger if you're wondering about 3.
@Awnos Uhhh no. The license didn't happen until the late 90s and it was mostly PC games with online functions then. It expanded with digital distribution and MMOs. Then when Xbox started to go digital and the iPod was a thing they realized they could combo license strategy from PC software with games.
When you bought a cartridge you owned it. You weren't allowed to own the code but you owned the game and they couldn't take it from you. You're just wrong.
Nothing I want to buy at those prices. I already have FFT and I'm not buying games again. I would have gotten Galaxy 2 if it was priced competitively with the Wii copy. I should just pick that up instead.
One doesn't leave a job like this unless he was getting a real crap deal.
I assume he will be his own boss from here on out. I, am willing to take some of the slack. I already called dibs on his job on YouTube. That's legally binding.
But I am still waiting for someone to do better than Bridge Commander. That was the absolute best ST game ever. I even consider it as the canon source of the end of the Romulan Star Empire.
I liked Splatoon. I bought Splatoon 2 for the Switch and enjoyed it for about half a year before they decided the gameolay had to be locked behind a subscription. Nothing has ever pissed me off more than buying a game and then them taking it away from me. I wish we were the type of society that would have punished that action. Instead no one said a single thing.

@AStupidID I wish I could buy negative games. But stealing from them isn't even worth it.
Re: EA Is Diving Headfirst Into Generative AI With New Partnership
@Ultimapunch This is why I buy old. New is garbage.

Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Scores December Release Date And Two New Fighters
@Fordy2000 my guess, because it's a licensed IP. 30 bucks US. 25-27 Euros/pounds.
I am going to wait. I think I payed 30 for physical Scott Pilgrim and now it's 5 bucks.
Re: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Scores December Release Date And Two New Fighters
Honestly, they basically have all the characters I'd want, except for Nightcrawler.

@AussieMcBucket I always said that if you don't feel compelled to finish a game or play it anymore, it wasn't very good.

Re: Nintendo Updates Animated Short Film 'Close To You' With Some Familiar Faces
Had to go to Nintendo today app to find it. That was a good 8 minute commercial with both versions.

I can't believe people are talking bad about this game. It's got one of the best stories and is likely the second best game ever made.

@Awnos you're wrong. You never were allowed to duplicate it but that's it. You're confusing copyright law with licensing.

Nothing I want to buy at those prices. I already have FFT and I'm not buying games again. I would have gotten Galaxy 2 if it was priced competitively with the Wii copy. I should just pick that up instead.
