NullPointerExcep

@Moistnado oof that just shows how insane the pricing is on the Switch, be it because of the cart or porting overhead costs or novelty factor or something

I wonder how well those $60 ports sell, I mostly ignore them, it's kinda a bold move being the same price as Nintendo exclusives on a Nintendo platform
The only $40+ games I've bought were exclusives
The Witcher 3 is a 'maybe' for me though, just for the porting effort and for using the 32gb cart

Hmm $20 each it's not that bad considering the low bar set by Capcom
Btw it's not cheaper to get on a PS4 if you need to buy a PS4 first
Yep Switch ports have a price problem, justified or not, it's a thing that happens
But I'm not buying a PS4 now thank you

My plan is to keep archiving/unarchiving stuff and hope that by the time the eshop is shut down sd cards bigger than 128gb are actually affordable

I'll pick Burnout Paradise for sure! What the hell
Other ports that I'm interested would be Bioshock and Star Wars Racer 🤔
Bravely Default and Xenoblade are looking good too though I'm not sure if I'll pick them right away
Other than that, I'm interested in the new Harmonix game (Fuser)

Btw have you guys tried the Bravely Default II demo? Maybe I'm doing something wrong but the battles are kinda... Absurdly difficult?

I'll pick some of the FF from the Square Enix sale, never properly played them before
For some reason I think I'll play FFVIII first, I liked its art style a bit more than the cartoonish style from the other two on ps1
I kinda want to buy Animal Crossing too but I don't know, it'll will probably take over everything and my backlog won't get smaller

@construx I played a lot of Revenge and a bit of 3, but I don't know, I'm fine with Paradise, it would be weird if they ported the PS2 ones first, but now I want them after people mentioned it 😅
...thanks for mentioning Dangerous Driving btw, didn't know this was a thing

This one looks promising

@NapkinSchematic "artsy pixel version Furi"? I'm okay with this

@Stocksy nah I just remember Marvel fans getting pissed about how she responded to the Thor actor, like, she was commenting that she makes the movie stunts, to a interviewer or something, and Thor went 'looks like we got the next Tom Cruise here', and she said something like 'I'd rather be the next me, thank you'
That's it
People who didn't know Oscar-winner Brie Larson before thought she was disrespecting the Thor guy and the almighty god and scientologist Tom Cruise 🤷 instead of, y'know, just saying she isn't trying to copy anybody
Then the broflake army spawned as there was another woman to hate and here we are

@NerdyBoutKirby the discounted price
(5% of the final price)

Deleted Rocket League and Warframe
These games are time holes and I felt bad after playing them for so long when there were other games or stuff I could be seeing
On the other hand, just started playing Pokémon Go and Hearthstone on mobile, oh well

That was interesting
I didn't saw the whole video but liked some bits
He put them in front of a Lynel once and the chat spammed backflips to safety lol
They've found some bomb arrows, immediately proceeded at unloading them at Link's face
Anyway it's also really cool when it works, like when they've beat one of those "small guardians inside shrines" by spamming side-steps and Y's

@nessisonett hmm maybe the Switch is still not that appealing for Wii U owners?
What do you play on the Wii U that makes you spend more time on it than on the Switch?
Personally, from the last couple of years from Nintendo, I'd bought immediately only Smash Ultimate from 2018, and Luigi's Mansion 3 from 2019
But 2019 was a good year though overall, wasn't it? There's stuff that I'm still planning to try (Astral Chain and Link's Awakening)

@nhSnork I do agree people should not take those digits as gospel, any sampling has a margin of error, plus the scores are subjetive by nature
Buut, a 85 metascore game is probably more quality than a 75, isn't?
Can you give some examples that maybe pissed you? Just for curiosity
I for one loved some 70s like Furi and Gato Roboto
Maybe we could have an alternative, with percentage of people that liked it, like Rotten Tomatoes?
In the ends these numbers are just other people's opinions though, more like a guide than the definitive 'what should you buy'

The new studio will be focused on live services

"Our new Tokyo office will play a major role as we expand into live ops game development. The starting core members of our future live ops team who’ll be working there are already a part of PlatinumGames."

Waiting for someone say that bought it for 5 cents on some steam key reseller

So they got the CryEngine running on portable hardware, that's cool
Downloading it, looks interesting though I'm not that into competitive multiplayer
Btw, maybe Crysis is possible now?
Edit: kinda disappointing, it's a pretty generic counter strike and call of duty mashup, though it's energetic and runs well

Interesting how W101 went from a low seller even for the Wii U to being a moderaly antecipated game with potential to a sequel
Looking foward to finally properly play a post-Capcom Kamiya game, Okami and DMC3 are one of my favorites games ever

PS2 was awesome though
The Switch officially turned me a Nintendo fan but rumours of a new Ratchet & Clank for PS5 is still exciting
Too bad State of Plays are terrible so I'm not sure if I should jump the gun, PS looks like when you go visit a place you used to like but you don't recognize it anymore

While yeah it's something to seek help for if you're spending that much, it shouldn't be possible to do it in first place, this thing should be illegal
Parental controls? Really? In a soccer game? So the age rating is wrong then, rate it M

Great month for fans of narrative-driven games

I don't know, could be a good game but it's hard to do a moster-collecting game without looking like a Pokémon-wannabe
I guess only Shin Megami Tensei differs enough

So ashamed that I've never played any of the games featuring the fighters from the first pass
I think I'll pick banjo then the second pass
I'm hoping there's a better chance of having a character I know and like now with the second one but I'll wait

I have my doubts if this one is actually good or if people simply are praising it because of the Pokémon controversy
At least the visuals are good though, I hope the gameplay is nice as well (though I saw comments about the style being in a uncanny valley of almost anime but not quite)
But really, people made fun of ShSw finally having a rotating camera, this one doesn't even have that... maybe the MMO elements give it more appeal I don't know

Not sure if this is a legit second confirmation or just piggybacking on some already existing rumours started by another insider
Anyway I'm looking forward to it
Not sure if both games would be announced in the same direct, they're both worth of being the last announcement of it

I weirdly think this time DLCs were the better choice, I still didn't bought it fearing for a third version, now I can get it safely, kinda
Plus the new wild areas combined are bigger than the original one

@MsJubilee they clearly said the added Pokémon are a free update so people can get them by trading
I think that nat-dex catchable Pokémon were never a thing but yeah not ideal

@Jokerwolf are you talking about the light saber / electricity effect? I do see it kinda reminds the effect when the smash logo appears in the end of the reveal trailers but I don't think it's a easter egg, they're not the same, at least to me, but that's interesting, first time I've heard of it

I'll get this one for sure
Really liked the vibe of the first four parts
I have lots of scenes scrambled in my head, I still kinda remember what every character was looking for, but I'll will enjoy reseeing it from the beginning

@dougphisig yeah they bought Double Fine 😢 no more Tim Schafer games for the other platforms
Also I gotta admit Xbox got my interest after they sent Cuphead, Ori and Hellblade to the Switch
But yeah, Sony still has the most OP studios so PS5 is kinda the safer buy if you have to choose between the next-gen systems, but I think that Xbox can surprise people this time

I guess the problem is handling a big budget to games without brand recognition, it's always a risk
Maybe sometimes the brand is the studio name idk, but still, it's a lower budget compared to stabilished franchises like DMC, and probably Bayonetta at this point
Anyway, even though the sales were lower than other exclusives, it's nice to see that new IP with new ideas still have some space, games have way too many sequels

I only played the mobile Animal Crossing and kinda liked it, but stopped playing after a while, charming but a lot repetitive. I'm curious for the real deal now, as I've heard that the last one had so many lines written that players may not encounter all of them

Aside from it, I'm interested in Axiom Verge 2, and NMH3 for sure

Wishing for Switch announcements of Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium and Supraland

@DockEllisD @graysoncharles I think they are referencing a running joke on Reddit, if someone says anything about hidden gems, someone will mention Celeste in response, like, "There's also a hidden gem, I'm pretty sure nobody heard of it, called Celeste" or something

Kinda off-topic but... did you know that Nintendo and Mages (formerly 5pb, developer and publisher of the Steins;Gate series) are co-developing a Famicom Detective Club remake, set for a 2020 launch??

@SKTTR yeah I was bit disappointed by that. I think most of the listed games appeared on Nintendo Directs...
There's dozen of games being released weekly, sure there's some great games hidden out there
I'll take a look at your picks!

I'll add

Crossniq+
So hidden you didn't review it
Btw it's only $1 now that's on sale, it's one of those score-attack puzzles, in this one you rotate rows and columns in a grid to create crosses of the same color. There's some special blocks and some special habilities in versus mode, all in a dreamcast-inspired soundtrack and aesthetic

Invisigun Reloaded - basically you're invisible and you only show up when you bump into something or use your weapon. Versus matches are kinda the core of the game but there's a single player mode that's kinda like a series of puzzles. Every character has a special hability.

Also I recently picked a game (it has a nice discount right now) called The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human, it's a Metroidvania but it's underwater and you're controlling a submarine, there's some interesting sea life and boss sea monsters, all in a nice artstyle and soundtrack

@nintendolie hm kinda, it had some good moments, and it got some awards nominations
Part 8 is awesome, part 4 has a interesting re-meeting, also the season finale was... something
But it dragged a lot, that Dougie sub-plot felt like a big filler, also there's stuff like a long scene of someone sweeping the floor without ever reaching a spot just to get on your nerves or something
It's Lynch at its best and worst sometimes, but more positive overall
It's the craziest of all the three seasons, like, it starts with somebody staring at a glass cube, then in another scene the police finds a head next to a headless body that don't belongs to it
But in the process it lost the old seasons' charm, like, behind the charismatic characters and the soap-opera-y feel, there was something weird, unnerving, that was getting more and more intense along the way
The newest one sometimes felt like it was just trying to out-weird itself, sometimes it didn't work but yeah, there's nothing like season 3

@ToonStuff hm what
You used them with different meanings yourself
I don't think one can prove that a word with multiple meanings actually has only one meaning wtf

Everybody knows that in certain species females are born with lipstick applied on their faces
Anyway, the rest of them are interesting, it gives more variety to them 'mons instead of this massive army of clones, though it is kinda weird to change the designs retroactively
Maybe procedurally generate some small diferences

@TAndvig well that escalated quickly

Not sure if that's a elaborate troll or not, but that site has like conspiracies about vaccines, global warming and stuff

When it comes to 5g, that site swings from 'nobody knows its actual effects' to 'I had bad health for half a year, definitely it was the 5g'

P.s.: I hope we and the whales and the birds will survive lol, I get where you're coming from, this is the same to pesticide stuff isn't it, I didn't think much about it, just was suspicious of the over-the-top text
But yeah, taking a look, even 3g has negative effects, that's... worrying

@TAndvig wtf dude this looks like fake news, I searched about the author's name and only weird blogs showed up
Also turns out globalresearch is blacklisted on wikipedia

@Pod agreed agreed, but I was just trying to show that HK and GL simply have more similarities between them than anything else
Still kinda baffled people don't see where comparisons are coming from, you just dismissed it as just both being hand-drawn, somebody else just dismissed it as both having tiny characters with a tiny sword in caves, and yeah, it's both, plus character movement, and dark souls inspired story-telling
To be fair, the designs are not bug-themed plus the upgrades could be drastically different, but for what was shown, they're similar
Still, kinda evil calling it a rip-off, at least reviews will clear things up

Well, it's suspiciously close, people who say otherwise probably never played Hollow Knight, it has lots of areas and some of them were similar to the ones in Gleamlight, plus... everything else? Lightning, movement...
Even if you say there's nothing wrong with inspiration, the developers denied inspiration themselves
I'll give them the benefit of doubt though, maybe it was just unfortunate, must feel so bad releasing your work and something else pretty similar was released first

Fire Emblem also won player's voice
Too bad both awards were just randomly spoken out, nobody went to stage or anything

Knowing this is worth of closing the indie world presentation makes me really interested in the first one now, will wait for a new sale

Nice
I already have Robonauts and Geki Yaba Runner (they gave them away back then)
I'll try to keep up mostly to grab Rekt and Mana Spark, but I'll take a look in the games along the way
But my favorite game from them is Akane for sure

Whoa I'm out of touch this time
Maybe... Disco Elysium and Supraland?

Nice, I wanted to try the SNES app, will try Star Fox 2 and maybe Super Metroid

Isn't that blue platypus at 1:11 that fakemon that was rumoured to be a SwSh starter??
https://poketouch.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/gen_8_rumored_starter_pokemon_water_type_platypus.jpg

Picked Trover, it was like U$2.50 in Mexico eShop, so I'm looking foward to trying this one
Also, picked up Bomberman on sale, so I randomly play it now
I'll only buy Pokémon when there is less college stuff to do... Got way too many spoilers though, but I still didn't fully see my future starter third evolution
