@BinaryMessiah - I dunno man, there has been a slew of people buying it around her to make TikToks on the glitches. Plus, hard to hurt a game already 10 million in the bag.

I have not heard of DNF in a long time. Never played the actual game this is based on, but like RAID Shadow Legends, it always seems to been in my peripherals.

That being said, maybe this game may have all the weird quirks patched out. Had a better experience with SF4 on the 3DS in spite of its graphical limits because they balanced stuff out from the original release to then.

@AverageGamer - When it's on mobile, they design the flexibility to be accessed on the wider array of devices.

Using Genshin as an example of struggling on even the high end mobile is genuinely a pretty bad take, since that's evident of optimization struggles. But it HAS graphical options for lower end devices.

Your example proved me right.

The reason we have not seen it on Switch is cause is they're still trying to appease their largest market is an optimized option; Mobile.

That and China has plenty of Red ropes to dance around in.

@Kiwi_Unlimited - In context, this is a solo dev that makes mini nostalgic games as such. It's been very hit and miss for me, but he seems to have some notoriety from making very nostalgic 64 styled titles.

@AverageGamer - So your focus is on ONLY the "flagship" phone? Whatever that means fails to point out several affordable phones have been making their rounds due to accessibility and affordability.

None of these are equal in power to a PS4.

Unless you are insinuating the mobile market will actively try and carve out 30% potential market. That's a lot for mobile access games.

@Would_you_kindly - I wouldn't say making something closer to realistic fidelity automatically counts as "better graphics." There is quite a few stylish games that demand more than what this can only be described as "preset toolkit" graphic demos.

@AverageGamer - Mobile will be available to a wide variety of devices, not just exclusively for Galaxy S35X Supreme and iPhone 300.6.

So... Yes, it would have the flexibility developed for it to accommodate the wider audience potential. Mobile isn't portable PS4s.

@Chunkboi79 - I dunno dude, they'll have it on mobile, suggests they will have some graphic fidelity flexibility built in. A port is by no means out of the question.

@Gamergirl94 - Welcome to Flavahtown! Where we all do the same thing the current time tells us is popular!

BotW, MOBA, Battle Royale, Pokémon, Darl Souls. We will do it all! As long as the sales show there is a market on someone else's game!

Looks like I should have waited my buy out til the Complete version releases in 8 months.

@YoshiF2 - The 3D models wasn't really the X8 problem, though. I feel lik they repurposed what lever engine and tools they used in X7 to try and make up what they lost in X8. They have strikingly similar movement and sluggishness. As I said, Reel it in to about X6 roots and it has possibilities to be what people want X to be.

@YoshiF2 - You say that with a straight face when we all know full well X7 and X8 exists?!

Bold words.

Really though, I think X was the branch of "Let's do extra stuff in the game," which led to the bloat of stuff that didn't need to happen. If it's dialed back again, I can see X9 being a solid entry again.

Mainline, it's about simple mechanics with difficult challenge. Straightforward, no-nonsense. Probably why I still favor it.

@Baler - I have not found a joycon "filler" adaptation I have enjoyed, namely because of my latter part of my comment. The leaning back play and needing to hold the system up fails with so many of them.

@Debo626 - If I am playing portably, I am willing to forgo rumble over control of my system.

@YoshiF2 - Everyone, boo this man!

Serious talk; I am okay with an X9, but cannot stand most the characters. Very DeviantArt levels angsty.

Was super satisfied with 11, I would just want more of that with 12. Preferably with a few more Masters.

@Baler - I disagree, I needed filler for the Joycons to fit my hands right. Even moreso trying to hold it upright when leaning back or playing just before bed.

The Hori controller has been consistently proven the best so far for this situation.

Honestly, I cannot be bothered to play this now. After the shutdown of 1 and the grind, it definitely feels like my best interest in the game is absolutely not a priority for it.

I'd be down with some kind of offline single player that had some level of local multi-player though.

• Cloud Version.

How is this score NOT zero?

@Bolt_Strike - This guy is one the right track.

@Coolmusic - Unless there is tangible proof that a story Mode would have impacted the sales in a notable way, it's honestly just a wishful idea at this point.

2 million doesn't become "bad" when another game does better because it's more known. That's still 2 million people likely going to be interested in the franchise. Probably more when you consider used Game circulation and awareness from Smash.

What is with everyone in this thread and this game "failing?" 2 million is a dumpster number now?

Yikes, man. I'd hate to see how you feel about indie game sales outside Shovel Knight.

@Clyde_Radcliffe - Or, y'know, a more tangible access?

Am I the only person who thinks this sort of thing would be a cool hidden reward in an actual Pokémon game, like for catching everything in a dex?

"I'm teaming up with myself, to promote myself as I sell myself." - Pokémon probably.

I'm still going to take a shot. I may never get Rune Factory Frontier again, so this may be what I need.

Honestly, it's a bit weird to see this article in the same timeframe as many Smash "character concept" videos started appearing in my feed for no real reason. 2B being one of them.

Darksiders and Astral Chain are on the list.

All is good.

@Jhena - I feel the same way. I want charismatic SA Sonic, without the SA mechanics.

Cue the Nintendoom, it's Classic flavor!

Real talk though, even this late in the game Nintendo is managing massive attachment ratios for even games that struggle elsewhere.

And I am talking the "B Class" of games. Bayonetta, Disgaea, even Falcom is getting equal support from Switch as to their heyday in the west. That's pretty massive considering how slow growth was for them.

@nessisonett- Amazon bought devs too, RIP Killer Instinct developer.

Mega Man 11 was actually pretty amazing, I would settle for a MM12 with the same mechanics.

@ChickenJoe - Yeah, bought Miles Morales, physical... Only to find myself not wanting to finish it. Though, admittedly, the required download for physical media was also a pretty heinous reason.

It lacks something. Everything feels like "look at this" instead of "play there." And I noticed this long ago, but it just feels far more prevalent now. And I see it in even Nintendo many times as well.

@ketrac - Adventure games are an acquired taste in my eyes. Since I didn't grow up with the original, I haven't been too excited for the new one. The art may be jarring for some, though. Hope it finds its style. Most my indies I have bought recently are released in the previous year. As mentioned, I just got done with Pumpkin Jack for the second time. Good stuff.

@PessitheMystic - I am nearing the 1400 mark for Switch physical games. But outside the novel collecting I am doing, indies don't require all that power and have less of a hard time being optimized.

Enjoyed Pumpkin Jack once more for Halloween as an example.

@ketrac - That's just another thing; I own a PC aptly named "Megatron" from friends. Thing is a powerhouse, so even if I wanted to want PS5 games, they're functionally optimal on my PC.

That's only assuming I want those powerful "showcases" that are being called games nowadays. I just have not found myself to be excited for any of it.

I was more excited, and elated, to see Episode 1 Racer being ported than I have DMC5, RE8, or FF7.

Hell, I saw an indie on Twitter feed, about a yokai styled Pokémon Snap. That's Game is far from anything Complete, but I am more excited seeing small updates on that than most of all AAA games.

Going to be honest; I cannot even be asked to play my PS5. Have a couple games, though nice looking, they're just not... Fun?

I dunno, I have been far more excites by indies and ports of old games than I have of any new hyped-up benchmark hallway action simulator that has been announced for the passed 5 years.

AAA games are just... not being AAA outside presentation.

@Eagly - Not entirely about Superman. Cavill is a huge fan of the Witcher books and even opted to stay for a 7 season series if they continued to stay true to the books. Even one of the main writers for Season 2 was saying many of the staff actually had a disdain for the materials and were just on the project because they wanted the notoriety and wanted to change many things.

Cavill tapped out of his fight. Which tells me Season 4 is going to be more different than just the lead.

Up against two major releases that even Mario wouldn't be able to ruse above.

That's solid.

@segasonicsteve - Preeching to the choir, there.

I'd still pay for a physical of Good Job! or Stretchers.

Oh, so you're going with the plan to isolate games from ever being played by the consumer's whims?

Cool cool... How about go F*^& Yourself, respectfully.

This is the true Capcom icon, forget those road-punchers like Ryu.

@JayJ - You made some points, but forgot to mention, Seattle is one of the cities that reduced the police funding and has not since reinvested into the city in any shape or form.

I lived in one of the other cities, did auditing for retail stores in some bad places. There was a consistent stabbing attempt up until that point. Even the local McDonald's closed shop after a robbery happened hours after they opened from a previous robbery.

All I want is the re-release of the original 2 on cart...

Nintendo is officially frecklephobic, those with freckles are now unable to play the game to its fullest with no direct representation.

-1/10 game, will fire somebody protest!

EDIT: Apparently hitting enter on my phone published the post before I'm done randomly.

Anyway, I can see why they opted not for the options. You're likely to be the only person who'd ever see them and you won't 80% of the time. And you're going to be hard pressed to notice them when you have such vibrant colors surrounding it.

AI art is honestly laughable, cause eventually they'll take from the same image pool sampling. Can they generate some interesting stuff? Sure. But over time, their end goal is efficiency in image sampling, and over time they'll all start producing the same level of designs from each other. Cause it has to create from what exists.

A person has innate talent to be inspired from something, and the mind's eye will create something that can be so abstract from the influence you wouldn't even fathom a guess.

Go ahead and test this; Find an indie, not all too popular, and use AI to recreate it from your descriptions.

As for the gatekeepers comments; You're not doing yourself a favor. Most of that stance comes from a place you have felt jilted from. You're essentially saying that artists, musicians and writers are all ultimately replaceable using AI, and their work was wasted. And you're cheering that work on. Cause eventually, AI can simulate your work as well.

You're not the one making the art, the AI is. You don't become the artist cause you made an image from the AI. The AI is. Being cool with that leverages companies to not invest in "AI artists," just AI art.

Been mostly on Trails from Zero now since knowing it's more or less a "start" of the game epic till the rest come stateside. Though Knockout City has a Halloween event going on, so that's probably what's going to be played this weekend.

@AmyZiegfeld - Dude! Thanks for that quick synopsis of the story goes. I always did a quick google and end up with too much information that I was under the impression there was WAY more installments.

Sounds like my halting of CS3 was a good decision. I appreciate this.

@Fizza - I am one that feels like remakes and originals should be treated as different games. So Konami should consider porting the Classics over to new hardware regardless.

@Unit_DTH - Did I hear sentient pocketwatch with eyes?!

@CharlieGirl - The physical release apparently comes with a code for the first season pass for free. So there's that to wager in as well.

This just feels like Modus wanted this game to release a year earlier than it should have. Not even the story will be complete till '23.

Here I was thinking I'd be the only Grafaiai fan.

I am among my people.
