See? It's easy. Also don't buy games you dislike the price. Easy, right?
I'm not defending the price increase. Just saying the common sense thing. If you can't pay an extra USD$10, you got more serious problems to watch out for than gaming.
I know for sure I wouldn't buy a game If it meant STARVING.
You cannot blame fans of a series of books and movies for liking a game.
Shakespeare should also be banned from all media, since he was a fricking racist man. If a games contains something inspired by Shakespeare like a reference to "To be or not to be" or whatever? Banned from sale.
75% of schools in USA should be banned because they teach Shakespeare.
SMBP left my house an absolute MESS! I would have given them only 1 star, but my sweet angel of a dog absolutely loved them. He just wouldn’t leave them alone!
A PDP licensed Wii Fight Pad Pro and an 8bitdo Gbros adapter has been working wonders for me.
The Gbros adapter is hard to get right now, but it works great if you can get it (virtually no lag) with a Wii Classic ProController, which does have ZL, ZR and Minus.
Can't you pay an extra hour of work? USD$10 is common for a 1 hour of work. Even if not well paid (restaurant employee), that would be 2 or 3 hours of work.
If you can't pay that, you shouldn't game at all, and better keep yourself away from starving. Use the money for buying food.
@Old_Man_Nintendo So, is Jack Black secretly a giant talking turtle?
Wow, I didn't know voice actors always look like who their interpret. It explains why Thanos' VA in Avengers movies could only be Thanos himself. There aren't many purple alien people out there, you know.
She just confirmed the Bloomberg report with that $15,000 mention.
She made it sound like $4,000 was the highest offer in the original videos when she called for boycotting the game.
The last $4,000 were some lines for a Cameo, not the lead VA anymore.
Yeah, just like Bloomberg reported. Nothing more to see here. She wasn't lowballed. She is in a union. She was offered more than the standard USD$250 hourly for Voice acting.
@Dr_Luigi Zelda BOTW struggled on some in-game places, like in the Lost Woods.
However, it worked alright even with +15 enemies on screen. After +30 enemies in zones that weren't meant to, it started lagging.
I don't think it should be that hard for newer games (released +5 years after Zelda BOTW) to accomplish something similar. BOTW IS OPEN WORLD, even if you may say it's "empty", it loaded fairly well with not many hiccups. I don't see any reason from the trailers for Pokemon not to get a similar smoothness overall.
Yeah, yeah, not a GAME developer myself, but graphic-wise, Scarlet and Violet don't look as texture-detailed as BOTW.
GameFreak is ruining it all. Pokemon games also struggled on 3DS, even on 1vs1 battles! Meanwhile, more graphic intensive games had no framerate problems at all. RE: Revelations. Street Fighter IV, Monster Hunter 4.
@RickRau5 She already broke his NDA by talking the offerings publicly, she CAN be taken to court if Platinum wanted.
Releasing documents would actually help her regain a bit of trust, but instead preferred to say she wanted to "move on" after she started all the public issue in the first place.
She is scared to even make fake documents because that would be actual real problems once Platinum sues, otherwise, she'd have done that already.
Releasing the real documents that go along with what she said first would actually help her a lot.
@graviton None will tell anything else about this situation. Company is not vile enough to call out giving out the whole story by themselves. Taylor won't release contract of offering because she lied.
I mean, Taylor already broke NDA, what would be wrong about releasing their contract document with the info about what they offered her? If that could prove her as truthful, why not do it? Instead, she said she wanted to "move on" even when she started the whole public issue. She is lying.

@Pat_trick I mean a Physical Cartridge. Everything digital should be free in My opinion. Even modern games.

Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Ade117 So graphics and textures dictates value?
Do you have any NES Game cartridge for free then, please?
Also, maybe throw a Gamecube game for USD$1, while you are at it.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Pat_trick So, bigger textures mean pricier?
SNES games should be USD$5 in eBay then, I guess?
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Matl If people can't pay a single Starbuck's coffee worth, they shouldn't be gaming at all.
Videogames are a luxury, not a basic need. If you struggle without USD$10, please use them for NOT STARVING, instead of getting gaming consoles.
Re: Video: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii)
Ugly design for Dedede.
The original design looks like its amiibos. The new version doesn't.
Won't play the Switch versión until they patch the old model in.
Re: Looks Like Pokémon Trading Already Works On Switch Online's GB & GBA Emulator
@CharlieGirl They will disable those features once they release officially, of course.
They did remove save states from 3DS releases of Pokemon GB and GBC games and they made local multiplayer possible on them.
Re: Video: MVG Investigates Switch Online's "Impressive" Game Boy & GBA Emulation
I don't get why none has commented on MULTIPLAYER being present.
They never did that in 3DS Virtual Console, or any other virtual console, aside of Pokémon Games.

@PinderSchloss Depends what you talk about. If you say the plumbing pun in-universe, yes.
If you mean how actual Super Mario Bros./Nintendo drain our bank accounts, I don't think so.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Plumbing Commercial & Website Launched
This is probably a clip from the movie before Mario gets into the Mushroom Kindgom. It's a fast way to show what they did for a living.
Re: How To Make Metroid Prime Remastered Work With A GameCube Controller
It sounds probable they will add official Gamecube controller support, after they did so for Mario Sunshine in the 3D Collection.

Re: Kirby Gains New Copy Abilities For Return To Dreamland Deluxe
@KBuckley27 It's like in movies.
Why go to a movies theater to pay a lot of money for watching those Disney rehashes?
Well, because you like the Disney movies, even if the rehashes are not very good. And also, there's people that may not have watched the original one.
It's the same with this.

Re: Ash Ketchum VA Shares Another Message Of Thanks Ahead Of Character's Final Chapter
You should also cover other languages' voice actors tweets.
This is Latin American Spanish, for one: https://twitter.com/GaboRamos/status/1604186706722230272
Also, there's @mikeleaal in Instagram (second voice actor in Latin American Spanish), but he only posted a story, which already disappeared as of this article:

Re: Random: After 25 Years, Ash Ketchum Is Now The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was
@calbeau This is an anime made for kids. It's just to have a familiar character there, and that's it.
I know it's not exactly the same, but Simpsons have not aged in +30 years and none bats an eye.

It would be 22 years instead of 25.

That's the usual where I live, though. Hoping to get a remote work based somewhere else, no luck yet.
Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Responds To Online Backlash In Ongoing Dispute
@PinderSchloss USD$750 hourly. For 20 hours.She was offered that, she admitted in these tweets.
Most I've ever earned is USD$7 hourly (seven dollars, yes) and that's as an Android Developer.
I don't feel bad for her.
USD$250 is the standard for VA in games. She was being paid three times that.
