"When even Geoff Keighley can't get in, that's an exclusive event!"
Who, the guy that hosts those game awards spoof/parody events? I have nothing against him but he didn't think this through when he became the face of that.
Tales always have strong character progression, while the main arc seems to be just there. Observed in Tales of Vesperia. The storytelling in these pieces is an aquired taste.
@Ogbert but did they hurt them bad? Didn't they jump back up when people got tired of boycotting and wanted to eat MacDonalds and drink bad coffee again? And were these boycotts rational to begin with? There was a really rational boycott targeted at companies that didn't move their operations away from Russia. There is no trace of that boycott anymore. They just come for a bit and disappear like fads. It's sad, but at the end of the day, they do nothing substancial judging by long term observations
@Wool_Sheep sounds like every day at every company. It's sad to think about how none of your hard work ever gets appreciated and you can be laid off due to a horrible decision of an incompetent person earning 10x dough for looking at excel once in a blue moon
@ludotaku well, since it's the only deluxe release, it's supposed to be sold internationally, not just USA/Canada I guess? And if only these 2 countries, then what is Spanish for? Ofc Charles will always be the best and will always speak English but they did him VERY dirty for the movie
@ludotaku True but the entire franchise is Japanese, and Japan has the best voice actors. Spanish for Mexico and makes sense, but what about French? If they had to include 3 and no more dubs, French would be the least "necessary" (nothing against French or France, it's just a very weird decision)
There are many fantastic sidequests across all games, this one is a nice collection! From my side, I can say that since Skyrim is on Switch, we have a LOT of great stories from that game alone.
@MSaturn if they were deterred, maybe it wasnt for them? Video games inherently came with fun from getting skilled from a game. It was a hobby specifically for us nerds, and quite honestly it was better back then, when small passionate communities were trying to overcome problems and discussing the lore. That spark was lost somewhere along the way
Not having the easy way out in games made me realize that if I want to progress I need to overcome certain things and I believe it helped me in my problem solving skills
@Maxz yeah I loved the main theme of the game being overcoming or even coming to terms with anxiety disorder through the alegory of climbing a mountain. And that it's hard. And that you have to get those strawberries or the choice of skipping them will leave you with even more anxiety and self doubt. The game showed me my anxiety as if it holding up a mirror right to my face. It genuinely helped me organize my thoughts and feelings. I loved the message.
It sounds like a solid 8/10 for me, but Aspyr. Why does it always have to be Aspyr. I would literally pay more to a different company if it meant Aspyr wont make a dime on it
Sony has exactly 8 months to get back on their feet again and release all the goodies, or they are lost forever, like Microsoft. And Nintendo being the only console producer is a grim perspective
Both are great, they're like little masterpieces of the era. I remember it from my childhood, many games had this artstyle, it's so nostalgia inducing. I wish nowadays covers were half as good
I wait with the last particles of disappointment in my hand, backwards compatibility should be no 1 priority set in friggin obsidian obelisk for this console
@CammyUnofficial yeah having low skill players in your team is one of the worst feelings in games, it kinda feels unfair.
I just wanted to know, would older people choose experiences more often? Presents are nice and all, but memories created with loved ones are priceless.
Also money kinda is a present if you give it to someone.
To me, the games that defined Switch will always ve Mario Odyssey (which is, in my opinion, the best 3D Mario, even a tiny bit better than Galaxy 1 and 2) and Smash Ultimate.
Fantastic game. Every aspect was well executed. 10/10 would put in my top 20 games of all time.
If you wonder if it stood the test of time, they tried to improve it with a remake and they buthered it. That's how you determine the quality of a 00s gem
Dice Awards are much more prestigious than game awards but I didn't really follow it much to determine their accuracy. I hope people who deserve the awards will get them, we need some more talent recognition in the industry

Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive
Great news! I'll be getting it on Switchi but more people get exposed to real games, the better

Re: PSA: Don't Fall For This New 'Wukong' Game On The Switch eShop
Probably because Wukong is a mythological character and cannot be a part of copyright
The fact that it's even hard to find anything on this studio, even its HQ, is enough to notice something is going on
And gives us ideas about where it might be from

Re: Mario Movie Scores A New "Limited-Edition" Steelbook, Pre-Orders Live
Do they ship internationally or is it 1 country deal? Also why only English, Spanish and French with no Japanese, what a bizarre choice of dubs

Re: Celeste Dev Makes "Difficult Decision" To Cancel New Game Earthblade
Celeste had unfortunate events that I talked about here earlier. I think the creators changed for worse upon the success.
