@HamatoYoshi "Cyberpunk was and still is a technical mess, but could the developer and publisher afford to sit on it for another year until it was ready? No, that’s why they released it."
Nonsense. The company that owns GOG could have afforded to toss that whole game out and cancel it if they wanted to. They're not some small studio living from game to game.
I don't know how true this is, but I remember reading that Nintendo and Microsoft were collaborating on this game and Nintendo was like "This is stupid, why are we making an Xbox game that won't run on Wii?" and cancelled it.
I guess they could finish it and release it now that they have a console that can run it, but I doubt it.
Publishers can still give games away for free or practically free if they want, they just won't be able to game the charts that way any more, which is fine. The charts are useless when they're full of shovelware.
Yeah, let's keep recycling the gym leaders. If they couldn't be bothered to have an Elite Four, of course they're not going to make anyone new for the tournament mode.
It took a thousand tries over the course of a few hours, but I got one. I had an alarm set for when they were supposed to go live, but I checked early and they were already available.
There's a limit of one per person (and you need to buy 3D All Stars) so I'm not too concerned about scalpers this time.
@status-204 Some developers decide they want to try to be nicer to people and you're so offended by this idea that you had to make a tantrum comment on a blog post. That says so, so much about you as a person.
The Oracle and Bandit buffs were sorely needed. Hopefully they're enough to make those characters viable, because they were just straight-up inferior before.
Guess that's it for Pokemon. Now they know they can half ass literally everything about the game (story, world, roster, features) and suffer no consequences.
@Woodyshoe The reason I ever got excited for Xenoblade in the first place was because it looked a lot like Final Fantasy XII in terms of gameplay, so definitely that.
The price of games in CAnada went from $60 to $70 to $80 I buy way fewer games for full price than I used to when they were $60. There are several games that have come out recently (Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Xenoblade Definitive Edition) that I would have bought for $60 but now I won't buy until they're on sale for probably $40 or less.
$90 games will just mean I buy even fewer games. The longer it takes for a game to hit a reasonable price point, the more likely I am to just never get around to buying it.
@Incarna 1) Looking for objectivity in reviews of art is stupid and wrongheaded, and 2) Metacritic is literally the closest thing to objectivity there is in game reviews.
You unlocked most things in the other games within the first month or so. Getting a new guest character that can show up randomly like Gullivarr was mostly unheard of. (New Leaf got Harvey years later but that's an exception.) It's weird knowing that if I set my clock to Christmas, it wouldn't be Christmas because there's no Christmas patch yet. But by the time it's actually Christmas, there will be. Having things added over time via patches isn't really that different from playing any of the other games correctly and slowly experiencing all of the content anyway.

Brie Larson: I got really into Mario Galaxy
Nintendo Nerds: WHO IS THIS FEMINAZI ***** ANYWAY BLARGH BLARGH I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A LOVER'S TOUCH
If they'd just announced it with all the other crappy spinoffs instead of hyping it up like it was an actual big announcement, people probably wouldn't have cared so much.
I wish the wedding items were orderable from the catalog. Just getting one of each doesn't take much effort, but you're never going to have use for just one wall decoration or one wedding chair or one rug. That's what turns it into a grind.
@Mykillvee Yeah, why play Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti on Famicom when you can play... a completely different game that has almost nothing to do with Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti?
While not technically a run and gun game (it's more like run and slash, or run and fireball), if you like the Mega Man Zero games, you should try Dragon Marked for Death.
I used to play with all of my alts every day and get recipes and stuff from SAharah if she was visiting, do the Label fashion challenge, with them all, dig up their glowing spots and plant bells, etc. I got sick of doing that, so I just don't any more. I still play with my main guy every day and do at least a run through my town to see what's up. Some days I play more, but I don't let it keep me from playing other things if I want to.
