@Sam_TSM Don’t you think it’s strange that games prices have been the same for 30 years, but the cost to develop them has increased exponentially in that time frame?

1) Trashy Visual Novel #438

2) At least 9 Different Farming Simulators.

3) Yet Another Indie Title

4) Barebones Port #369

5) Some vague image panel of Metroid Prime 4/BOTW 2.

Gotta set the bar low to curb expectations!

@bonjong23 You never had the player’s guide for Earthbound, didja?

No Mr. Saturn no buy

Can't wait to see announcements for the next wave of farming simulator RPGs, half-baked echi visual novels, and indie games marketed towards exactly 100 people..!

@Aswannsong So because a small circle of people in your life haven’t experienced a thing, said thing doesn’t exist/is overblown and is made up by media. That’s all you’re going off of?

I’ll forget both, cheers!

You’ve got to be kidding me! This is my all-time favourite shmup! And it’s on Steam?! Insta-buy from me!

@HammerKirby there is a material in the control stick that flakes away from friction. Linus Tech Tips has a vid on it, where they open up several modern game controllers. Due to the constant friction involved, all sticks are guaranteed to break at some point. Makes you wonder why companies aren’t using hall sensors.

@Aswannsong Yes, it’s a thing. I always find it funny when people chime in all confused because someone else has faulty hardware and they don’t.

What were they thinking with the third option?

@Dr_Corndog Perfection is a mindset that forces people to stay in one place. I'm happy with the faster load times, thank you very much.

@Axelay71 Yeah, maybe on a sale!

@Axelay71 Replayed Thunderforce 4 last week, and it's such a masterfully crafted experience. Truly one of the great!

@Axelay71 I was thinking the same thing. Shmups are definitely not in shortage. We don’t need something like that breaking up the flow.

@WetBones That's a strange reply. I'm speaking from an honest position, and sharing my opinion of that garbage game.

@Rosona Stop trying to categorize me based off one comment, that's weird. The series has been in a decline from what made it unique. 8 is where things started going down, and 11 is easily the most generic thing this company has produced. At least the old games retained some semblance of charm.

It would take someone that has played all the games to be able to see that.

@GameOtaku This right here. I've been gaming long enough to see the dripfeed. Nobody in their right mind should be excited for an NSO rental.

In Dark Souls 2, the really really fast Hollows that run around the map super fast will give you a guaranteed consumable item drop, such as a life gem.

@Kiwi_Unlimited A joke? Never heard of ‘em.

Jokes aside, I would like to see either a) little to no cut scenes, or b) make it so that all cut scenes are skippable. We don't need panning shots of doors opening to pad play time numbers ffs

#1 - A renewed focus on isolation

Uh, where were you in 2020?

(this is a joke btw, please see that this is a joke)

@Ryu_Niiyama It's not that I would want to change your position, just try to be nice about it

Making an assumption about the general reader-base has nothing to do with your position on what a review (opinion) score should or should not be.

You might want to start thinking about the differences between a professional review score, which absolutely should include technical aspects as well as impressions, vs. a user-review score, which has no obligation past "like/dislike."

Modders are God's gift to gaming.

@patbacknitro18 I wait for sales too, depending on the title. In the example of Elden Ring, I bought that blind at full price and never looked back. Other games, I wait for a sale. Just depends on my desire. I think it's fine that this dev increased pricing, though. They're still asking a reasonable cost for a game.

@Purgatorium That's fair! I just am coming from the standpoint that the dev should increase prices for inflation, since it's such a widespread issue. If you weren't trolling I believe you; it's hard to get the gist from comments

@Purgatorium Inflation impacts all costs. So, if they have a new project they are working on, or if they just want to try to improve their state of living due to increasing costs of energy, groceries, rent, etc are both good enough reasons to justify 5 fracking dollars lmfao

Man, articles like this really bring out the trolls on this site!

@theModestMouse That's the trolliest comment you've ever written on here.

@patbacknitro18 You do know that inflation is out of their control, yeah? Asking for $5 extra is nothing.

Well, too late. I already sold my Switch because I'm tired of being held back by the hardware. If this caught me 6 months ago I probably would have found a reason to keep it because the price for these sticks is perfect!

@andyg1412 I know exactly what you mean. F-Zero has been criminally ignored.

That's what I'm ****ing talking about! Good stuff!

@Jacket_p I'm not arguing that Atlus shouldn't protect their IP by setting up stream restrictions. Read my original posts, 'cause you're arguing against a point I never made and succumbing to be the same trolling as the others. Trolling is becoming increasingly frequent on this site, unfortunately. It was feeling like a "last bastion" type of thing but it's clear that more and more users are just trying to start POINTLESS arguments.

@WhiteUmbrella Yeah, I'm gonna do the same, that's good advice. Appreciate it!

I scored 14/24 just by clicking "no" on almost everything Only ones I knew for sure was Sunshine and Witcher.

Nobody replying can explain why Twitch and YouTube are running off of broadcasts, yet they think the whole operation is illegal. Gets a big LOL from me! Quick! Someone do something; the big bad Twitch streamer is doing a bad!

@Ashunera84 Tell me you're ignoring what I'm writing back to you without telling me you're ignoring what I'm writing back to you LOL

Strange! If your logic prevailed, Twitch, YouTube and any other type of online streaming service would be shut down. There must be SOME reason they are still up! There's no point in speaking to people like you. You lack the nuance.

@Jacket_p If you bothered reading my initial reply, you would see that I acknowledged the rights of the IP holder and I'm not arguing against the law. I'm arguing that no, you are NOT using a game devs work by broadcasting it. Otherwise, nobody would be allowed to broadcast/stream, period. Since there's already millions of people streaming on Twitch and YT alone, that point is moot.

An example of using a devs work would be taking the assets and making something of your own out of it, like a fan-made game and then selling it. That's illegal. Different subject. Hopefully your next reply gets the memo.

With your logic, a gaming website wouldn't be allowed to post screenshots, since that's just another thing that adds to their ad revenue. A gaming website is also using a game devs assets, by your logic! lol

@duerer Whether or not you find value in the streamer does not negate the work that they put in to make the experience unique or valuable. Heck, I donated $300 to a streamer when I got my Christmas bonus last month and wanted to share. I found their content to add a great amount of value to the experience. You obviously wouldn't understand, and it's not my job to make you understand, either. The takeaway from this, is that your personal preferences don't exist to override those of another; they exist solely to help determine your personal outcome, and can be used as a way to relate to others. I've watched streams where the broadcaster is annoying, and I've found others where they are wholesome and entertaining. It's pointless to paint them as a group with your stereotypes.

I know this won't be read and will fall on deaf ears, so I'll be moving on from the conversation. No need to reply.

@Ashunera84 Again, the logic you're using is nonsense, and I won't be feeding the troll further. You have a clear prejudice that is clouding your vision.

@duerer Depends on the content of the stream. If it's a silent streamer with no mic and no webcam, streaming only gameplay to the audience, then you're probably right.

If the streamer has their own sound alerts, a webcam showing themselves play the game, and is actively participating with their viewers, then all of that extra stuff is the streamers work and no company (other than Twitch) can touch it.

Makes you wonder why streaming accrues the amount of ad revenue that it does. It's certainly different than simply broadcasting a game, to be sure.

@Ashunera84 This comment makes no sense. You’re not using their work without paying them. That would indicate that you pirated the game and then uploaded footage on YT or something. Streaming isn’t “using their work.” You’re playing their video game on a streaming platform, not using assets from the game for your own usage in say, a fan-made Persona game. No streamer considers the works of a game developer to be their own.

I get that Atlus decides on their guidelines for streams to avoid spoilers but your logic on the matter isn’t ticking right.

Even when I squint that doesn't look like Akira. The bike is kinda sorta like the one Kaneda rides, but I'm thinking the author hasn't watched or read Akira and maybe just saw a poster with the bike.

@GappyV You get all the GGs, nice work.

Who needs Armored Core when you have Kirby in a mech suit? That's adorable.

@fenlix I'm sure you can google that info instead of asking me. I have no idea.

@LikelySatan What, 'cause I liked Odallus better than Blazing Chrome? Spare me your melodrama, please.

It cracks me up that so many people actually voted for FFXIII.

FF Tactics is the obvious choice.
