@BulbasaurusRex That's how kids play pokemon! My son went through Red with Bulbasaur, didn't pay any attention to types just levelled him up till he could beat anything.
@EvrgrnCmln You say "I finished it but I didn't understand it", the review says "Still manages to be fun sometimes, even though it's difficult to understand". The reviewer saw "Restart Mission" or "Retry", you saw two Japanese phrases you couldn't read. Surely you can see how the first is more irritating than the second.
It's not a problem for me. It can't be a problem for anyone else. If that's an indication of the depth of your thinking then I'm not surprised you look up the answers to puzzles.
@AlternateButtons Cool! It's always good to hear from software developers. You clearly understand all about real time cross platform network code, how about you list some of the things they could have easily tried to get this working? Don't be lazy.
@Ovedo Companies need to stay in business to give the fans what they want. If this helps make Octopath Traveller a valuable brand then you're more likely to get a well funded sequel.
@SonOfVon i wouldn't guess English was your second language, you sound like a natural English speaker to me. If we chat again on here maybe we could do it without third parties getting involved? I don't think i communicated well in this thread.
@SonOfVon here's me ignoring your video. If you need someone else to make your arguments for you then you don't understand them yourself.
You know we have growing numbers of flat earthers and vaccine deniers because of YouTube. Maybe you ought to think about broadening your horizons when it comes to news outlets. Literally any one can post a video on YouTube. Try somewhere that has an editor and fact checkers.
@RazumikhinPG Me too. Japan is pretty old fashioned when it comes to gender equality, I'd be interested to see if Nintendo are pushing forward or hanging around in the past.
@impurekind " if the pay is like most western [games] companies" The heads of Nintendo all took a reduction in salary when the Wii U debacle was at it's height. That never happens in the west. So I'd be wary of assuming the gap between pay is as ridiculous as it is in the west.
@Buizel Yeah, it's ridiculous. I watched the Direct and wondered what the game looks like, now I've read the review and I'm no closer to seeing it. Very poor journalism. This is a game not a film, I don't care what the cut scenes look like.
@Tirza It's true! I just went for a walk in the park and everyone from old ladies to small dogs were ridiculing NintendoLife for this review. It's sooooo embarrassing.
"the main difference being the system of choice" I disagree. The main difference is the style of game, one's an RPG and one's a platformer. Yes, they're on different platforms, but that's not the main difference IMO.
@Bliquid Nintendo didn't put the blame on anyone. They said they haven't been able to reproduce the problem. The report about dodgy SD cards came from a reddit thread. It's an easy to read article, not sure how you managed to get that impression from it.
Oh but we can't objectify men for reasons! I knew empathising would be too tricky for you. And yet when your feelings are hurt cos this game isn't releasing over here we're supposed to care about how you feel about that? Feelings are important when it's a childish pout about where a game is releasing?
@LilDoggo48 just for balance i put over 100 hours into the original on Xbox, I'm not opposed to this sort of game, but it needs to get some male bodies in there if it wants to join us in the 21st century
@LilDoggo48 the problem is that people need empathy to understand. As long as "what would that feel like to me" never seriously crosses their minds they're just gonna keep on name calling. Still, the alternative is this place becomes an alt right echo chamber so keep it up! Logic will prevail! Maybe! Eventually!!
@maruse you know 3d is how you see the world, yeah? The real problem with the all current 3d systems is they don't make you change focal distance so you can't judge how far away things are, just what's in front of what.
I don't think Nintendo are going to allow an open source media player on their heavily locked down device. It's a massive security risk and doesn't make them any money. They're a business, how do they monetise VLC?
@SBandy using my limited google-fu they were told to stop wearing the costumes, that's the only thing they were told. I can't see any other stipulation mentioned in the news stories, certainly nothing requiring a disclaimer on the Karts. So "passive aggressive" it is.
@SBandy They'd do it just by removing all the Nintendo IP from their Karts. You're right, people would just assume they were still Nintendo related, but that would be better for their business. I guess the only way to be sure is find someone who understands Japanese and get them to research what the specific order was.
@Sandro89 They hate people that aren't Nintendo making money from Nintendo IPs without paying for the privilege. The free market isn't "I'm free to copy your stuff and make money off it" it's "I'm free to make my own stuff and market it" and "I'm free to strike a deal with the IP holder to use their IP".
@SBandy If they really wanted to distance themselves from Nintendo they wouldn't have written the word "Nintendo" on the side of their karts. This isn't just them complying with a court order, they're also goading Nintendo. "See, we're nothing to do with you, it says so. We just run Kart races with cartoon characters which happens to be a thing normally associated with Nintendo." Passive aggressive.

Re: VLC Media Player Being Considered For Nintendo Switch

Re: Random: Tokyo's Unofficial Mario Kart Service Really Wants You To Know It's "Unrelated To Nintendo"

So "passive aggressive" it is.
Re: Random: Tokyo's Unofficial Mario Kart Service Really Wants You To Know It's "Unrelated To Nintendo"
@SBandy They'd do it just by removing all the Nintendo IP from their Karts. You're right, people would just assume they were still Nintendo related, but that would be better for their business.
I guess the only way to be sure is find someone who understands Japanese and get them to research what the specific order was.
Re: Random: Tokyo's Unofficial Mario Kart Service Really Wants You To Know It's "Unrelated To Nintendo"

@SBandy If they really wanted to distance themselves from Nintendo they wouldn't have written the word "Nintendo" on the side of their karts.
This isn't just them complying with a court order, they're also goading Nintendo. "See, we're nothing to do with you, it says so. We just run Kart races with cartoon characters which happens to be a thing normally associated with Nintendo."
Passive aggressive.
