I dunno if it's just my perception on things, but Singapore seems to really take their TCGs seriously.

@Jhena If programed right, DLSS looks about the same as the original artistic vision

It's got far more "hits" than misses.

@Jhena It's probably closer to DLSS, which is a common tech on PCs games. Even DooM Eternal runs better with it on.

Hoping this means more 60FPS games on this system

Do gacha games count? 😅

@IceClimbersMain LoveLive school idol festival 2, correct?

Yeah, that was greedy as f@$k. Normally an EoS game shuts off the payment flow and maybe announces preservation plans.
This one just took the money and ran.

here's to hoping the Switch 2 has built in performance boost. I do wanna play a game like this. Well, I wanna own all Atelier games on Switch tbh. Still need to get Marie though

That said, the darker tone of Yumia is probably nothing new. I recall (from what I played) that the Dusk Trillogy is equally melancholic, even if it is still cheery.

@-wc- SOTC is an unforgettable classic. I was also an adult when I played it on PS Now (when that was a thing). There's a haunting beauty to the game's atmosphere that never lets you go.
I still want a physical copy for a console I don't even own.

Sorry, had to get that out of my system

@rjejr I think you're overcomplicated this. A better reason to be cautious of real spoilers is because it's a Wii U release. And most gamers did not buy a Wii U, so this is in essence a new game.

@BreathingMiit Don't forget the censored gear

Now what I wanna know is if the censorship was removed.

That's the only "spoiler" fans such as myself wanna know. I already played the original release on launch, so that's all I care about before considering a (re)purchase.

@Princess_Lilly While i agree with your sentiment, I don't think he's talking about the EA model. Hell, he's not even western. he's Japanese. Platinum is not even big enough to pull a Ubisoft or EA. they are just work-for-hire devs

He's likely talking about how Platinum is becoming less reliant on auteurs, because most AA studios in Japan I can't even name their own head directors. But from the yesteryear, such as Kamiya himself, i probably could

@Princess_Lilly I dunno about you, but Ninja Gaiden isn't exactly a "mythical modern audience" type of game either.

@JohnnyMind Or it could be because Visa and Mastercard have been harassing Japan to "be normal and moral" as of late, with visa lying about how its about "protecting the brand". That's probably also why Nintendo removed western payments or even has been having issues with authenticity of their eShop games as of late and why censorship made its way into otherwise cultured games these past few months...

Meanwhile Korean games have been getting away with all the same stuff Japan is getting attacked for in their art.

@MirrorFate2 Because someone who lost their arm is just an explanation, not an excuse, as to why they can't hold things, right?

Sorry, but I'm not gonna take this. Guy had issues talking to women for explained reasons and everyone wants to treat him like a martyr who deserved it instead of someone who needed some social help.

@ThePizzaMuncher Because all change is good change, right?

@Zeebor15 He literally says he has autism (deeper on the spectrum than mine from what I can tell)

@LadyCharlie Monster? The guy has a disorder that makes it difficult to discern social ques if he isn't out right told and is socially awkward as a result and you wanna call him a monster?

@MirrorFate2 one of what?

@Zeebor15 I'm pretty sure you can talk about autism and aspergers in an earnest light.

@MirrorFate2 You kidding me? The company was flat out toxic based on the info I got. Guy was nowhere close to the level of venom involved

@JohnnyMind If you think this sounds good, try listening to the Gundam Unicorn soundtrack.

You will feel like you went on a spiritual journey.

In fact, let me sample a track right now

Same composer btw

@-wc- I imagine Rabbids remained around because little kids in France really loved the series for very obvious reasons.

The main problem with these handheld PCs for me is the lack of physical media. I already have a laptop for PC gaming, why buy this when I could buy my games on switch and actually own my games and get the same lifestyle benefits?

@N8tiveT3ch I don't wanna eat that

At least I got my copy of DeathSmiles with the DLC baked in. Until these people improve their service, That's enough outta me.

@SurprisedRobinChu In some fairness, the archetype game should be getting more put together as the series goes on. So if you search for "Traptrix" cards, the deck building should get easier in a way just by searching for those interactions.

@Alpha008 If they have a clearly executed spark system, that's likely not gonna happen.

@Anti-Matter Not all F2P games end up like that though. Some have the courtesy to actually release an offline version.

Knowing this is an MH clone, dunno why they aren't bothering to do the same.

Not to disavow the criticisms about the lack of a tutorial (because it's very valid), but if you want new players to get to know the rules of YuGiOh through a video game format (as was mentioned in the review), Master Duel is right there, complete with a full breakdown on the universal rules, for free on a phone or everything really.

@Aerona Considering Konami doesn't own the YuGiOh licence, I thought it was worth noting.

Anyways, certain cards that are of the vampire type show some strong castlevania roots. I'll leave you to look into that because I'm only pulling from memory right now.

@Aerona They actually have. You can find, Gradius, PowerPros, Castlevania and even that one paper airplane men game in the YGO card game if you know what archetypes to look for.

@Serpenterror In case you aren't aware, NitroPlus is a mostly self sustained company dating back to the early 00s. Nothing is gonna happen to them

@roy130390 There are indeed side quests. Though, the main quest and simple adventuring may be a breathtaking experience to you, because the game does hit you hard in the feels through its environments alone. Speaking from experience.

@Franc001 what if I told ya that was the point?

@SillyG "With that said, I think a breast slider is tacky and unnecessary, except perhaps for a player avatar, but I get that its omission would be a source of annoyance for purists"
I mean, it was for the player avatar. They literally took away a customization option so you couldn't even make the bust size bigger or smaller. I was even wanting to make a character like Daidouji from Senran Kagura at the time because she was genuinely badass but I had to settle with a mediocre looking arab guy...

Though nowadays, I'd probably make my female avatar a cutting board tomboy because why not!

@Synecdoche "Don't ask questions. Just consume product, get excited for next product even if you already own product"

Did they also undo the censorships in this definitive version? That's make or break as someone who bought the original 10 years ago

Not to celebrate the layoffs, but what a surprise that one of the ugliest, soul sucking "toys" on the market isn't very popular of a brand to branch out with.
It's like POPs are sold based on "it's pop culture" and not "it's a passion for the hobby"

@Zeebor15 I'm sorry, but aside from the TCG, I don't recall Pokémon getting involved with gacha. So I'm at a loss as to what you are talking about.

@Chaos_Knight Gatekeeping is good

This might bode well for Ananta being on the Switch 2

@Greatluigi Maybe when the Marinetime Odyssey School gets some students, they might.

Glad there is SOME back to basics aspect with the EX Gear. Might have to do tricks to gain air and then spend air strategically to get the upper hand.

Though, I wonder if the overspending risk from the first game is still there. Forces you to think wisely about boosting. Might need to keep the air pitstops in the game to punish overboosting.

@Anti-Matter Eggman is an adult womanizer who let rouge on the team in SA2 because he got pink in the face.

Guess the whole sonic series is off the table for you then......

People who love feudal ninjas are eating good this year.

Unless it's AssCreed

I'm more of a akihabara kinda guy though so gimme Kuda Izuna any day

@Serpenterror Hardware issues should be irrelevant by the time the Switch 2 hits

60fps or bust
