Re: Nintendo Aware Of Pesky Bug In Endless Ocean: Luminous

I still cannot believe what they did with the story mode...Unloch Chapter 2 conditions: Scan 500 animals.
Chapter 2: cutscene. Move forward 10 feet. Scan. End of the chapter.

Now go and scan 2000.

Does it get interesting?

nope.

The game has some good things...but this will kill the franchise. EO3 could have been so much better...it' s a real shame.

Re: Two Classic ARPG Fantasy Games Are Coming To Switch In A New Collection

@Pillowpants I fully agree
Sold individually through the German shop, the only physical version at 30 bucks each...and now a dual pack for 40...
I feel really bad for all the US gamers that had to import this game. Including shipping and import fees, they got these games for 90-100 bucks probably.
This should have been a dual pack day-1. Globally. This is THQ.

Re: Rumour: New Report From Nikkei Corroborates 'Switch 2' Delay Into 2025

@Arcata Yeah, I feel that too. After the Wii U, the best possible outcome is not only launching a successful console, but also, dethroning the mighty ps2. The best possible continuation to a humiliating story. And I do believe it will hurt Sony. I cannot imagine this situation is indifferent to them.
I have no doubts that Switch will surpass PS2 sales. I think both will coexist for a while. There is still plenty to do with Switch. It is outdated, for sure, but it sells! Still, after 7 years.

I don t really get timed console exclusivity...this sucks for Switch owners, but glad it goes multiplat. All Atlus games should be available to everyone.
Weird timing too. Speculating here, but this will release a few months before Switch 2 releases. I don t see myself buying this day one...like I did for the original release...but I would have done it for an enhanced version for Switch 2.
They could have waited a little longer for nintendo fans. It would have been better for everyone I guess. Timed exclusive will give us the worst version.

I love how considerate all these companies are. this isn t limited to the gaming industry, but all major companies chose January for their ...."restructure" or "re-org".
Not during xmas season!!! We are not heartless greedy a-holes!!! Just 15 to 31 days later.

Re: Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden Physical Editions Announced For Switch

@kennykenny Never trust LRG.
I waited until last announced day to preorder a game that included a steelbok, and they closed the open preorders a couple of days earlier. When I asked them why they told me they were satisfied with preorder quota for steenboks. This was Ys Origins, long before LRG was bought by embracer. Things are a but better now? just slightly; I m pretty sure they will honour the dates announced; but I never wait until the last day.

Re: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Scores A Physical Switch Release, Pre-Orders Go Live This Week

@LadyCharlie iam8bit has pretty lame shipping windows. Even compared to smaller shops like superrare games. They have an awful shipping policy. If package gets lost or damaged, they will just give you the US mail complaint line. To them, their responsibility ends when they transfer the parcel to the carrier. They do offer nice products though... but they have one of the worst shipping policies. When a shop removes PayPal as PM, it s usually because they get lots of claims.

Re: Talking Point: As Lifetime Switch Sales Jostle With The Mighty Wii, Can It Possibly Catch DS?

@Mythra
Needs persona 5 royal with 110 million ps4 users to surpass the DS? You talk about Persona like it's Fornite. Xenoblade? We might have the same gaming preferences, but you don't make the most successful console of all time by selling P5R and XC3...and definitely not by releasing a DK game or a Metroid Game. I adore the franchise you're naming...but I think Switch needs more than that.
