Re: SurveyMonkey Intelligence Breaks Down the Declining Usage of Miitomo

It's just not a fun app. It really isn't. It's a shallow tool for social interaction with one mini-game that isn't very engaging. The only reason I used it, and the only reason I'll ever use it, is to get platinum coins. I havn't even done that recently. It just become a chore to get my free coins and now it's not even worth it.

Re: ​DLC Review: Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation

Seeing as this is best played after one or both of the others, I wish it was the hardest path go the three, since going from Conquest to this is a step down. Also makes sense that story wise, that if you aren't choosing a side you have to drag yourself along with whatever bunch of rag-tag gang of misfits you can cobble together.

Also this is the "obvious choice" if it were just a choice in-universe and not also a gameplay choice. This is the compromise where you don't have to pick a side and help everyone get along. So if you want that happy end for all you better earn it with punishing difficulty!

Re: Analysts Weigh in on Nintendo's Successes and Failures with amiibo

An Amiibo focused game would be nice. I do think the software integration has been lacking in most games. I was interested that Super Mario Maker supported most Amiibo, then disappointed when they only unlocked costumes.

Comparing that to Code Name S.T.E.A.M., I think it did a pretty good job of using Amiibo, adding whole new characters to the game. Having the Amiibo gave a definite benefit without detracting from the game.

Re: Midora Developer Admits He Knew Kickstarter Funds Wouldn't Be Enough To Complete The Game

I understand that pledging on Kickstarter is an investment and not a purchase, so there is obviously risk involved; that's what it takes to make anything worthwhile.

But they KNEW it wasn't going to be enough? That is utterly deceitful. I cannot believe they thought it would turn out any differently than it has; securing more funding or investors now will be ever the harder now they've ruined the trust of their current backers.
