This looks intriguing. A ways off, so I’ll probably completely forget I saw this preview for a year or so until the release date is closer and I can start to get more excited for it.
@victordamazio that’s been my takeaway from this, too. It irks me that they are doing this, but at least the content is free and it wasn’t released with just one course and a couple of golfers. Just started last night and it is a pretty fun game.
@mjharper same dilemma. I know they are both remakes, but I never played the originals and had (am having) a whole lot of fun with both. (3D world and skyward sword)
Looking forward to (hopefully some good) surprises for the rest of the year
Why. Just why. If a game/article isn’t for you, why not just avoid it? I really don’t get this high horse riding and what about me! stuff at all. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the so called Christians are also hating on their neighbors and saying “people shouldn’t be gay” or whatever the current rambling is about minorities.
I’m an almost 40 Christian (catholic, in fact) and there is SO much wrong with our religion and beliefs it’s hysterical how much importance people put on them (not talking about the teachings in general, more the people basing everything thing they do and say on some wacky, made up modern interpretations of those teachings).
This game really does sound like it could be entertaining, coming from a python fan. But down the road in a sale. Point and clicks aren’t generally my favorite thing, but I’ve played a couple mobile ones that I’ve enjoyed, so maybe this would be like one of those.
The videos on this site haven’t been working for me lately. It’s just a black square now for the past couple of weeks (iPhone safari). Any way to fix this? Would like to watch the gameplay video here.
@Dinh “No,they should not. They should be whatever the Devs want them to be. They should not conform to what other people want or think would "improve" a setting/game.”
@Spiders “our goal should to support and empower diverse creators and leverage our global markets and technology”
Came here to say, it seems like the underlying/root cause of the problem is (may be?) the lack of diversity in the developers. If we want to see more diversity in games, how do we promote diversity in the teams creating them?
@Tucker777 I was wondering about this, too. Not having played it, maybe more time is spent with the sword than running around? It also seems like it would be better to click down R for camera, just hold it down to look around, quick release to strike. I always accidentally press the L button down in games when things get heated and I end up crouching or running or doing something silly instead of moving correctly, but maybe that’s just me.
The nipples could only be processed by the power behind a switch pro. They took them away because they initially had frame rate issues when brought to HD, but the DLSS is able to upscale appropriately at a decent refresh rate.
@FuzzBall “ They won't, under 18 and you're tax-exempt. I bet the dad was funding this venture in his son's name to avoid the taxes.”
This is a very false statement. Making that much, he definitely has to file and pay income taxes. You can not file or have to pay any of your income if, as a minor, your income is less than around $12k for the year.
@akamu the purpose of that message was not to be condescending, but to answer your question as to how that was a scam. I simply provided why I think it’s a scam. Apologies if it came off condescending.
@akamu the definition of a scam is a dishonest scheme (quick Google, Oxford languages, similar to Merriam-Webster’s a deceptive act). I didn’t say it was illegal or anything, pretty sure it doesn’t fall in the realm of FTC scams (US). But what I am saying is he’s being dishonest with this move. He’s jacking up the price of something he is quite literally adding no value to (there are no services being provided or additional assets such as fan art he made or creating gaming bundles or anything like that). All he’s doing is flipping the product as fast as he can for double+ the price. I don’t know how that isn’t a scam.
Quick note on the “you could do the same thing with houses” comments. Yes, you could. A lot of people that do that provide some type of additional benefit for it though (renovation, removal of mold and the like, furnish the place, things like that) before charging anything extra for it. Sure, you could buy a house and immediately turn it around for a higher price without doing ANY work or providing ANY service, but that would also be a scam.
@Justifier one difference to point out is holding onto something long-term (> 12 months) vs short term holding for (immediate) resell. Those are different activities (at least in a lot of circles). One is investing (assuming the figurine was considered art and not a toy to play with, if it was a toy to play with them reselling for that much is a bonus onto the fun!) the other is essentially a retail business.
@AndyC_1101 I don’t know if it was bad reporting. Other “luxury goods” was mentioned a few times. This being a gaming site, they focused on that aspect (and provided sources with additional information). I don’t see anything wrong with the article itself.
@AndyC_1101 If he did this right, he shouldn’t owe income taxes on anything but the $110k. The real problem is collection and remition of sales and use taxes state by state (because every states laws are different, especially as it comes to online sales). I think that’s where the bigger trouble could come from (particularly if the state does an audit).
@PhhhCough how does that work? Just don’t pay for any part of a tangible good you received? That’s getting into theft vs an actual exchange of property/money (even tho the exchanges in these cases, for consoles, was outrageous at more than double).
Reminds me a bit of wack-a-mole. What’d the mole ever do? And mudcrabs are incredibly annoying. And to turn this around a bit, you should be able to attack Koroks.
As for the review, we’ll done. 7 is a game worth playing in my book. One thing that bothers me a little bit is people are excited about dlcs coming with more content, but why wasn’t that content there to begin with? It seems like a pretty light starting package, as far as courses are concerned (for the price).
Looks like Super is on NSO, will have to give it a go. Haven’t played a Metroid since NES, and I was young and stupid so I didn’t actually do so well in it. I just remember trying because fiends liked it.
