It's sad that Nintendo instantly abandoned non-predatory mobile game monetization. I expected better from them, truthfully. I really hope this doesn't bleed over into their real games.
@JayJ This isn't someone with a YouTube channel who has no responsibility to Epic. This is someone who signed and then broke an NDA. It's not bullying, it's holding someone accountable.
@Clamango With the heat death of the universe always slowly approaching, I don't know why you have the spare mental energy to worry about other people complaining about a pooey video game.
@Zuljaras You know, I had only seen your first comment when I replied, and now that I've read more of them, I know it was a waste of time to reply to you because you are a broken, crying mess of a little boy who can't possibly comprehend the fact that more women doing things isn't some grand attack on men.
I'd rather a few developers be sad than PR people have the chance to frame everything in the exact perfect way to make you believe a game is going to be better than it is.
This makes sense, and as someone with only one Switch, it doesn't really matter much to me, but it does make the Switch Lite seem even less appealing as a secondary Switch than it already was.
@PBandSmelly I distinctly remember one part where the voiceover talks about your Miis having "favourite activities" over footage of Bill Trinen's Mii rolling around on the floor.
Fighting over the difference between AAA and Indie is like fighting over the difference between red and hungry. They're not even describing the same things.
As people started doing their second runs through, recruitable characters were bound to overtake ones only useable in one path. I haven't done Black Eagles yet but I use Dorothea a decent amount in both of the other routes.
@Obito_Sigma We almost got one on Game Boy Color. The Oracles games were originally planned as a set of three games, with one being a remake of the original NES Legend of Zelda.
I'd love to see remakes of the first two Zelda games because the rest of the series is as playable now as it was when it came out. Those two are a bit tough and obtuse in places.
@AugustusOxy If you have to ask, the answer is "More than you, someone who comes to an article about multiple employees testifying about the behaviour of their boss and tries to write them off as a bunch of butthurt losers."
It's pathetic how many people will see that someone did something awful and then jump to their defense just because they don't like the people who get angry at awful people.
Like, take a step back and really examine yourself and what you contribute to the world.
@6ch6ris6 "I can just pirate games" is always the dumbest take. Why would anyone try to appeal to someone who's happy to just steal anyway? What good are you to them?
@k8sMum Allowing reviews at all before a thing comes out is extremely stupid to begin with, but that's as close to a proper way to use pre-release user reviews as there can be.
@k8sMum John Carter wasn't downvoted out of spite. It was downvoted because people expected it to be bad, then it came out and got poor reviews because it was bad, and nobody saw it because they weren't interested in it. It wasn't some whiny spite campaign like this is.
@Magonigal Congrats on being even more pointless than the person whose entire life is whining about framerates. That's an accomplishment in its own sad way.
Which is also what I said when the Wii U was said to be bringing back friend codes after the 3DS did away with them, so hey, maybe Nintendo is really just this stupid.
@Terrible_Majesty Tim Rogers gushing about Dragon Quest in his review for this game is the reason I played the entire series first the first time recently.
@BlackenedHalo He's a Japanese war crime denier (denying the Nanking Massacre) and he's extremely homophobic and transphobic. He's basically Japanese alt right.
@Zidentia This is a recurring problem in Dragon Quest games and spinoffs. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the composer, Koichi Sugiyama (who is a horrible monster of a person in general) insists that his awful music be so loud by default that it just drowns out the rest of the sound.
@Erufuda Why don't you try to find one comment from me defending things like the removal of the Pokedex before you embarrass yourself with further posts?
@BlueOcean Yeah, I don't use my Xbox One a whole lot, but I've never had a hardware problem with it. The controller is the best of the generation, too. The 360 was bad for consumers but it was also terrible for Microsoft, who had to replace those 360s for free, sometimes 2, 3, 4+ times. This is with a console they were already selling at a loss. They definitely needed to avoid that this generation.
Meanwhile, I've been through like three PS4 controllers....

Re: Konami Hasn't Completely Forgotten About Its Mystical Ninja Goemon
@chiefeagle02 I absolutely adored everything about that game. It was like a mix of Zelda and Mario with charming Japanese weirdness all over it.
Re: Feature: Best Pokémon Games Of All Time
"You could also record battles, trade anonymously over the internet,"
Which you apparently can't do any more in Sword and Shield. You can trade with randos but the proper (useful) GTS is gone.

Re: Rumour: The Starter Evolutions For Pokémon Sword And Shield Might Have Been Leaked
Another new Pokémon game, another surge of whiners complaining that the evolutions look bad.

Re: The Elder Scrolls: Blades For Switch Requires An Online Connection
The mobile version of this game is absolute f2p trash and I can't imagine this version will be much better just because it has less crappy controls.

Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Patch Revises Sensitive Dialogue
@AlternateButtons Actually it's people like you who can't want to jump to the defense of monsters that are ruining society.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Patch Revises Sensitive Dialogue
@AlternateButtons "You have no right to judge him."
lol are you serious? Everyone has every right to judge whoever they want. Deal with it.
Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Patch Revises Sensitive Dialogue
I don't really get why this was changed. It's a disturbing story either way (and it's meant to be) and this just gives fewer details.
