The real question is: will any of these parches actually be on the months delayed physical version? You know, the entire reason anyone even attempts to put up with LRG.
I thought this was made by old skip devs. I don't recall skip ever having a guy named Mike on staff (skip never exceeded more than 30 employees ar it's height)
My only guess on the lack of regional voice acting, if not good old fashioned LRG laziness, is more weirdness with Square -Enix and the various actor unions
The Focus spin-off not only gets a full physical at retail worldwide, but even a manual!
Meanwhile, Microsoft can't even bother to give 4 anything more than a dump on Windows Store on their own platform and a questionable pressing on PS5.
If I were Team Ninja, I'd be insulted. If I were Itagaki, Phil Spencer would learn what it's like to be on the receiving end of a DoA Arcade Boss fight
If there's one thing i hate more than the fast fashion disposablity of digital only games, its the continuing commercialization of the FGC. What used to be a wholesome collection of weebs playing Mahvel in a hotel lobby (with BlazBlue in the bathroom) has now become a seriess hyper sterilized, aggressively blue, extended commercial for the same 6 items over and over again.
It's the weird middle-ground we're stuck in that I hate: too commercial to have soul, not commercial enough to have some $&#+ VARIETY in the ads. I watch 30 minutes of Guulty Gear pools and I've already seen the same stupid add for overpriced monitors 5 times
@Spaceman44 No, that's still Microsoft. Xbox has gone all digital on their home turf, and won't tell people if a game on PlayStation is the actual game or a license check only. Key Cards may be only one step above Denovu on Steam in terms of lack of Consumer rights, but at least Nintendo is forcing publishers to be honest about it.
In fact, this forced honesty may be why we're still getting codes in boxes anyway. Much like cigarettes to vaping, Key cards are all forced to have the same big white disclaimer, while the code in boxes have no such standardization (yet) meaning The Three Presidents can hide the disclaimer in the background where it wont be noticed by the general, tech iliterate consumer
Embracing the term "Spin-off" tells me this will be a seperate exe from Splatoon 3, similar to Torna. We can only hope that it gets a proper, seperate release, cause I don't want to pay $80 for Splatoon 3 Again with an extra story mode.
Xenoblade X is the only time I'm going through that, cause I doubt Splatoon 3 will sure me the true form of Heaven's Light.
Also, you guys get notifications from Nintendo Today?
If we can't call it a sequel or remake then we need to start normalizing calling things "the Xenoblade X to (game) instead.
Also, this was originally a Kickstarter called Towers of Samsara that failed. Good for Illex for getting it made, but any references to the original search action game will probably feel tacked on.
Wonder if Wade will day and date the physical, or delay it some months like Breakout and Power Rangers
@Jaded_Alyx ...huh. I always just assume anyone of note involved in Saudi Arabia's sports washing scheme is somehow part of the royal family. What with how huge it is
I don't know who any of these celebrities are anymore. I stopped paying attention to new ones after Robin Williams died, and stopped watching live action all together after Norm went.
At present the Super Switch is the worst console since the Xbox One with an almost entirely digital only launch line-up, and more * and conditions to even boot the thing up than a car loan. I will be buying Rune Factory and Armored Core 7 to support Marvelous USA for being the only good third party publisher left (still no clue on who to credit Cyberpunk too since CDP doesn't do their own printing and distro) but I see no purpose to the Super Switch at this time.
In an effort to improve my Hater Efficiency (TM) I will be posting the same comment on every story relating to the Keighley Summer Vanity Sideshow and Discount Used Pretzels Show: I do not like Geoff Keighley as a producer, coordinator, or human being.
Marvelous USA is the only publisher that still does Manuals. Even LRG has pretty much given up on that. They will be the last domino to fall in the all digital future. Once not even they remain, THEN we're well and truly boned.
Phil Spencer has successfully trained the Xbox audience to expect only the worst customer service. Either they get a game key disc at Walmart, or they have to play the two year long game of darts that is waiting to see if your LRG package even shows up.
Things can't get any better. They only get worse and then you die.
If they ever show up at VGP or Amazon, then maybe I'll believe them. That's the only context in which I feel safe interacting with LRG. They are not an organization you want to be left alone in a room with.
... those puns are bad, and the title is very misleading, but at least it isn't directly calling them the anti-christ like every other Embracer headline.
I feel like SAG has no right to represent a dead man. Though I thought it was a bad idea at the time, Jones saw the writing on the wall and was simply too old to bother fighting what would happen following his passing whether he wanted to or not. At least this way his family gets paid (supposedly).
Plus, Fortnite is a non-union project to begin with. The ads have voice acting, but the characters are as silent as Kirby in game... unless the Rock Band mode somehow countsz but that's the ICA, not SAG
