@JohnnyMind It's because of Japan, the Japanese version of Cyberpunk is censored too. But in that case the publishers were smart enough to have an uncensored version of the game for the rest of the World. In case of Dispatch the publishers were too cheap to do the same and too sneaky to be transparent about it. If I had pre-ordered this version of the game I would be really pissed.
@cylemmulo Yes, that makes it even worse. But any censorship is annoying. Just rate it for adults, I guess no grown man is getting PTSD after seeing a nipple in a video game cutscene...
It's probably the publisher's fault, they didn't want to have a separate censored version for Japan. It's cheaper to maintain only one global version of the game but then they had to adhere to stricter rules to release it in Japan. I'll get it on Steam, not buying the child version for Switch.
FFT Ivalice Chronicles is my GOTY for 2025, and one of my favorite games ever. Age of Imprisonment is on my wishlist, will get it once I upgrade to Switch 2.
It's 2025, instead of moaning about the lack of localization just use it as an excuse to learn English. The game is a masterpiece by the way, just finished it today but starting a new playthrough soon.
Thanks for the review. I'm curious about this game but it looks more like a puzzle game than a tactical one. Guess I'll get it on Steam first to check it out.
Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Triangle Strategy, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fire Emblem Engage, Unicorn Overlord. These are the best ones on Switch in my opinion.
My game of the year.
Enough with this War-of-the-Lions-cut-content crying, it was fan fiction that had nothing to do with the creators of the original game.
@LEGEND_MARIOID It's still a downgrade compared to a good PC. Of course it's subjective, but I prefer to play this kind of games on Steam. Open world photorealistic games always require compromises to run well on handheld devices.
How is not being greedy and choose a low price point a bad thing? It shows confidence in your game as well.
The other devs can always use the price as an excuse if their games don't sell. I guess it's easier than admitting your game wasn't good enough.
@Warioware I have seen another censored CG, so there might be others yet to be found. I prefer to go for the least censored version when I can, don't like the idea to have the devs' original vision altered. The game is M rated so it really makes no sense to censor it...
@Warioware Yes, many people told me the same, that the combat gets better later on. I'm tempted to give the game another shot, will probably wait for a sale on Steam as I heard the Switch version is censored, unlike the Steam one.

PES 2021 is still the best football game. Unfortunately eFootball is as crap as a FIFA game (now EA FC).
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@swoose Engage was a mix of great gameplay and cringe cutscenes. Overall I liked 3 Houses better even if the tactical gameplay was not as great.

@Pillowpants The new Fire Emblem is the game that will make me upgrade to Switch 2.

Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
@JohnnyMind You are saying the Switch 2 couldn't handle 60 FPS on a 2011 game? Hardware in such case is a poor excuse for bad optimization.
Re: Mini Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition (Switch 2) - Just Hugely Disappointing
To be honest it wasn't a good upgrade on Switch either, basic Skyrim without Anniversary Upgrade is way better.
Re: Review: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition (Switch 2) - A Serviceable Port Of One Of Lara's Very Best

This is not the type of game I would play on a Switch anyway. Waiting for a deep sale on Steam.
