@PharoneTheGnome that’s super cringe, mate… Stop trying to chat up the staff 😂

@CharlieGirl the fact that they’ve owned things you’ve enjoyed for years isn’t necessarily a bad sign then if you didn’t know about it?

Time to Embrace our new evil overlords. Don’t fight it.

Bummed about Limited Run and Tatsujin really. I was still hoping for more usage of all those Toaplan titles, because the rights have shifted around in the past few years. But I can’t say this acquisition fills me with confidence.

I am expecting absolutely nothing from this. Also Geoff Keighley just straight up sucks, man.

I really don’t get why people are so into this game, I found it to be shallow, repetitive and super boring (mainly played Survivor, didn’t enjoy Killer).
My friends are into it and would constantly talk about different perks and strategies and whatnot. I don’t think it’s as deep or as substantial as people think.

I’ve heard all of the above examples multiple times already (the meaty one is particularly annoying that even Noah doesn’t bother responding to Eunie).
They’re memeable and hammy. But not quite as endearing as Reyn and pals.

THINK YOU CAN TAKE ME DON’T FORGET MEH

@Einherjar agreed. I miss some of the chill menu ambience that some of the screens were known for.
Plus, I know it’s a bit of a meme, but having separate themes for a digital storefront and for when you’re setting up your internet settings is part of what gave those pieces of plastic their charm too. Such attention to detail and commitment is missed, I have to say.

Kit and Krysta tales from here on out. Never liked those two.

@moodycat The way that Pokemon is still outrageously popular in the secondary market, you can be sure people on eBay will try and flog them for a hell of a lot more. All these sets at £5 will be bought up by ‘investors’ and ‘YouTubers’ in no time.

@Diogmites nah I don’t agree with that at all. I, personally, have no interest in owning multiple, slightly different boxed versions of the same console.
I would rather use that space for something else.

Scalper Central.

@ViewtifulCool Shinji isn’t at Platinum Games anymore. But I know what you’re trying to say - that creative force is missing at the moment.

It’s great seeing what I consider to be one of the ‘original’ developers still going strong after all these years.
Although it seems like they’re less willing to potentially take risks now with more ‘experimental’ titles like Killer7, God Hand, Okami, etc. It would be good to see them attempt some new franchises again.

@NinChocolate I said it was sad.

ThinkHector said it’s sad if it doesn’t work.

You confirmed their marketing doesn’t work.

Therefore, sad.

@NinChocolate @thinkhector those are both just two roundabout ways of saying “no” hahaha! It’s alright, I’m not gonna get it either.

@thinkhector @ninchocolate are you two gonna buy it and play it?

@BloodNinja I would move on to something else instead. NL interviewed the guy ahead of this game’s release and then didn’t even follow it up with their own review of the game, which I think speaks volumes itself.

Realistically, how many people knew about it before today? And instead being “the new game from the Ecco the Dolphin devs”, it’ll be known (in the smallest of circles) as “that game where they need to pay you to play it”.

It’s been out since 2019, probably didn’t quite hit the sales numbers they were expecting, and so they’re going to shamelessly dangle prizes of 100 dollars in front of us to get people to play their game.

That’s got sad written all over it.

My dad will be 56 this year, so that’s far, far too young as far as I’m concerned
Hope his work lives on in future instalments.
RIP

@jorel262 yeah for sure. I can only seeing it being successful if they do some multiverse crap with it. But that sounds like a hell of a lot of legal work for all these licenses.

Also, this is just pure speculation. We already know the special edition contents will be going up for order in September, so this probably has nothing to do with Xenoblade at all…

Let’s not lose our heads, though!

Did anyone even watch the teaser trailer thing? It’s so so so bad.

@Thrallherd I don’t know what on earth you’re on about, but you didn’t seen either of those things in this article.

Regardless of what happened/happens, the whole project reeked of poor taste anyway.

@Crockin no no, I was just asking questions and creating a discussion. There’s no way you could possibly answer my initial question if you look back. And at no point did you even attempt to. Then you started bothering me by going off topic and ganging up on me…

@nessisonett that’s actually kinda what I was alluding to at the beginning of all this - The devs are under no obligation to put warnings in and I was just asking a hypothetical question of when attitudes towards things like changed in all types of media. If I wanted a clear-cut, definitive answer, I wouldn’t go to the NL comments section that’s for sure.
Also, I wouldn’t say it’s ironic that those sites exist, but the warnings they have for kids definitely go overboard. I remember seeing one on IMDB that said something like: “Brian mentions he has a boyfriend, implying that he’s gay”. Something like that. Which is just a ridiculous thing to even include.

@xenoshaun Thanks for sharing, man. As someone who has had experience with self-harm, do you feel you had enough warning going into this game about the themes?
After playing some of it, do you feel like a warning is required?
And (last one) has there been anything else you’ve played/watched where you feel like it should have had more of a warning at the start? Cheers!

@Crockin well, your last comment didnt already answer what I said, and you’re going way, way off topic with those examples that I don’t even think you know what your point is anymore.
The MPAA was introduced in 1922 so I don’t think it was necessarily for the genre I’m talking about.
And even WITH the MPAA, people have been calling for trigger warnings in the latest Thor movie of all things. We already bend over backwards for snowflakes now, someone is always going to be offended by something fs.

@Crockin mental health is one thing, and I think we’ve come a long way in recent years (for the better, I may add).
But consider this example: the sub-genre of horror films - the “rape-revenge thriller”. These were very popular in the 70’s/80’s and they still make them to this day. But they never had disclaimers at the start which warned of content which might impact survivors of sexual assault. Why not? And are we too PC now and are trying our best not to offend people?

Just started this game tonight. I like it, but feels like a clunkier Hyper Light Drifter and makes me wish I was playing that instead.

Side note here, so this is probably going to be removed: just when the trend seemed to be that everyone was becoming desensitised to sex, violence, whatever in media, I’m seeing more and more calls for content warnings in things now.
When did this shift happen?

If they can poop out Call of Duty, Fifa, Assassin’s Creed and a countless number of other sports games every year, then I think we’re due another Splatoon by now.
And having said that though, I do also think Pokemon needs to take a break now and again.

I came here for answers and I got none.

This looks like someone tried to make a Starfox fan game, but changed just enough so they wouldn’t get hit with a takedown notice from Nintendo.
Overall it looks mediocre, but the driving stage looks like fun.

People on the internet always find some stupid, inconsequential s*** to latch onto.
They never fail to amaze and/or disappoint me.

Also, pretty desperate article because it’s obviously nothing more than a coincidence.

@Rambler hilariously stupid localisation 😂

Actually having said that, my wallet trembles whenever they release those infographics with release dates afterwards…

I like the format of the Directs - a big, quick-fire info dump that usually unveils brand-new games. The presentations just seem to whizz by because there’s a lot to unpack.
I don’t like them as much when they just focus on a single game or they show new trailers for previously announced games. It should always be fresh info coming out so they stay relevant.

@RupeeClock the email from them did say 4000, but I have no idea. I used to support them at the very beginning but now I only pick up the games I’m interested in (which are very, very few).

@nessisonett ‘out of control nightmare’ is a bit of an exaggeration. Super Rare Games tend not to sell out instantly so I’m sure you could get this distinctly average game if you really wanted.

I don’t know about the US, but they don’t ship to the UK. And seeing as Limited Run already had a release of this it’s become redundant news.

From not implementing same-sex couples in Tomodachi Life to this. Glad to see they’re taking these progressive steps when the laws of the country dictate otherwise.

I’m from Scotland so I literally never have this problem 🙃

I can’t believe this is making headlines as you say. What a meaningless and wholly insignificant turn of events.
