It wasn't that meaningful though

And let's be real, there are other things to worry about like:

1. Multiple Islands/towns, this isn't a GBC game
2. The "island MC" nonsense that required the first account to build anything
3. The infinite floral prolifelation crisis
4. having to litter the entire island for the "perfect score" and only 1 Jacob's Ladder

I have no idea what I am waiting for, but I am waiting for it.

@IceClimbers likely or not, what a dystopian, pessimistic vision

So physical games will be a rare occurence on Switch 2? I dont want to say that doesnt bode well, but BOY that doesnt bode well

They are foolishly trying to tempt the people from the land of plenty

Twinkle Star Sprites's cover art shines like a gem on the vol 5

@Samalik You're absolutely right I want to get one in a more or less reasonable prices, I'll sew clothes for her and brush her hair lol

@Misima True, I think NFS Most Wanted was their swan song, although I might have missed something

Companies having to say they haven't stolen the product

what a time to be alive

Every single time AI is used, it should be clearly marked on the product, be it an image or a game

@Toastmaster Yes, that's why I mentioned them as an exception

That's a nice collection!!

@Spider-Kev Should you be wary? I think no, I mean Pokemon games are all worth playing, it's just a shame they are very low budget.

I do recommend Sun/Moon if you want to try some Pkmn game despite the turn based combat. It's very good (my personal 3rd place after Blue and Silver) and has many quality of life features so I think it's a good starting point

The company that sold us the product can now punish us for behavior they deem bad by breaking the product we have already purchased and we own

Clownworld, episode 2109742

That's actually very neat

I hope this becomes common practice among smaller and middle companies (I have no hope for the big ones), I wouldn't even mind paying a bit more extra. I've seen those deals before, but they are pretty rare in the wild

@jfp true, I grew out of most warlike FPS-es, maybe with the exception of Delta Force BHD, and yeah I know what you mean. Strangely enough I kinda stopped noticing violence in games, I've seen so much it completely lost my attention

Few rare exceptions occur

@Toastmaster maybe but they lost my trust. And let's face it, they haven't released anything that would interest me for like a decade. Maybe Sims 1+2 (day 1 purchase)

@Spider-Kev yes, pretty much. SW/SH was already so - so with very limited "open space" and Scarlet Violet is a technological tragedy barely running at about 28 to 30 fps, empty cities and completely barebones environments. Surprisingly, the storylines were really solid and it is worth playing, but it really feels more like a student project than a game from a multi bilion company from the worlds most recognizable franchise

The art direction and attention to detail is marvelous

Pokemon Red/Blue my beloved

Anecdote time, I was so sad when I heard I can't catch Growlithe, I didn't even think that I had Vulpix and Sandshrew instead.

Moral of the story, don't focus on what you don't have, focus on what you do have.

Offtop: What a horrible doll in this picture

If you pick a doll company, at least pick a good one! /j

In all seriousness, great dolls do exist but they cost more than a small car. They are 100% worth the price though

These are all fantastic games, well deserved.

@Cathalm all Pokemon are great games but the question whether it's "good" or "bad" to do so well depends on the viewpoint.

It's great for GameFreak because it shows they can keep doing the bare minimum and earn a lot of money

It's not so great for the customers since we will continue to receive severely undercooked games which have great gameplay, but work terribly

"All these other games that come out for 70 bucks, 90 bucks, I mean look you’ve got Mario Kart for $90 - you think Mario Kart competes with a game like this as far as how much stuff they’ve got to put into a game?”"

What a take. Right now both games have 0 playable content as they weren't released yet so those comparisons are completely useless.

I'll pick a bag of gold dust over 10 bags of manure.

And seeing GTA5, and what they are trying to do with GTA6, it's probably gonna be manure. It's not GTA 3/VC and will never be.

@jfp I think if you think about it that way, interpreting violence in a game is kinda weird, seeing as you know for a fact that you are basically "killing" a bunch of pixels

They havent produced anything worth 60$for the last 15 years, so it's a logical business decision

Yesterday's parody is today's reality

This is more dystopian than most fiction. I guess Orwell and Huxley were both right.

@Zufolobelisk yeah that was a joke, I know how deciphering languages can be

OLRWN

that was easy

@Toastmaster this one sentence is already a more memable schizotake than "it just works" and I love it

Kotor 1 + 2 are worth it but not from Aspyr as they decided not to go ahead with the DLC after releasing the game

Jedi Academy is glorious

Japanese is so... different, as if you were buying some extreme sports manual. European is more pronounced, but it's pretty standard.

I really like that minimalistic Japanese design, I think it really brings the attention to the icons and the top art

@spottedleaf I would like to add that no totalitarian views, on either side, should be ever advertised through entertainmet

Can't really say I'm surprised, polygon was... controverisial

It kinda looks a bit less impressive than the initial trailer presented it. I think there is something off with the lighting

Im getting it for the artstyle alone. Seiso would be best, but from what I see in the screenshots, there is nothing wrong, so it cant be that bad

Shame its not may 1st

So far the only things that interest me come out on Switch 1 too (Silksong) so unless they actually announce something, I think Im good

Ngl though Oblivion/Morrowind on portable console would be fun

Not much of a movement overall, these are almost all old (as in at least a couple of months) titles. HL is on a massive sale so it's top 1

I wanna see the next week when Oblivion gets counted in.

Never played it but sounds fun. But does it get old sooner, or later?

Maybe not the couch one, but anyone plays Obakeidoro?

@nhSnork Well, some would say that it's more than fleeting amusement, it actually gives some insight into the production process. Also, lore of one of the most important franchises in history.

But yes, some lines were crossed when obtaining them. It's a matter of whether what we gained is worth of what N lost. Of course we are speaking about non private, non personal information. The rest is absolutely crossing the line and I do not condone it

I know the original is better
I know this is just turbo unoptimized Skyrim mod
I know Oblivion Remaster is not worth the price (which is almost twice in come countries than in the rest)

But

@Mariotag I would say a fair amount, but not too much. Most enemies are based on Youkai/Yuurei, so you have scythe wielding weasels (kamaitachi), little spirits (kodama), tengu, big ogres (oni), and so on.

The game doesn't have dialogues though, and the main plot seems to be its own thing, so it's not fully based on Japanese myths like Okami, which tells the tales of Susano'o, Issun Boushi, Amaterasu etc.

Are you interested in Japanese folklore?

Yay, KH made it

And my wishilst grew by a couple of titles yet again.

Bubble Cows and Chicks <3

I got the original for more than its initial price. The DS graphics is unparallelled, but this one will have marriage system, so that's nice.

Also, bubble cows

Winning a chance to buy a product is such a 2025 thing

@LavaTwilight true, as long as they stay true to the original's artistic approach, I'll allow it.

I remember when I first saw Vivek, and I was like - okay, a city 10x bigger than Balmora o_O

That was such a golden age of gaming, you knew nothing of a game other than it's grand, and everybody loves it, and imagination filled the gaps, making the game so magical, so enormous. It was something you just wanted to see, like a beautiful diorama full of details

Had to google Sydney Sweeney.

I am already interested in the movie's soundtrack, not gonna lie

@Ichiban well, Hollywood's golden age is long gone. And to think they once produced masterpieces.

Double Dash my beloved

I saw the trailer and something is... missing.

It doesn't have that cozy feeling of the interiors in the original, and all the fluffiness is kinda, not there. I'm not making any sense but you have to feel these changes

@LavaTwilight Morrowind doesn't need any more polish, you can boot it and marvel at this world as is. People who never had any experience with RPGs could start it now and would be in total awe. It just needs to be released on modern platorms.

The fields in 1:17 look so fluffy, they remind me of Oblivion

@hypercoyote I think both are correct

shikata is a "means/way"

https://jisho.org/search/shikatanai

https://jisho.org/search/shikata%20ga%20nai

WANT

@hypercoyote I'll get it even if I had to go to Japan myself lol (unless you are talking about translation, in which case, as people in movies say all the time - shikatanai)

You missed the biggest release of January! <shakes fist furiously> (Phantom Brave 2), but it's kinda hard to recommend when everyone knows everything about that one anyway.

So I cast my vote on something smaller, but still VERY interesting. I hope it gets featured, I don't even need the "credit" I just want people to know it, the designers made it with love and it shows. (Kemono Heroes)
