Wow, this game is incredibly good! I can't put it away and when I have to I just want to jump back in. It has grabbed me HARD! Don't sleep on this one! Story and voice-acting is top-notch!
I do love VNs but not a fan of RTS.
Calling this an RTS is not really true since time pauses when you give cammands. Yes enemies and units move in real-time otherwise. Also your units turns runs on an ATB gauge like in FF7. It's more like an jrpg-rts hybrid.
Gamepass would be nice but I would not even touch Activision with a dirty sock on a pole until their sexual harassment culture is wiped COMPLETELY clean.
I'd put Paradise Killer, Xenoblade 2 and DE, Scott Pilgrim, Fire Emblem Three Houses Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, Phoenix Wright Trilogy and House in Fata Morgana above anything on this list.
First reaction: I've never heard of this game but I kind of like remakes. Sees trailer: OMG I had a flashback to my ten year old self playing this in co-op at my friend's house! I had no idea what that game was called but it was super fun!
Ooh! That might actually turn out rather well! Earthlock had some beautiful artwork and music. Just not the best story and combat mechanic. And some of the UI elements clash artistically in my opinion. Not bad, just okay.
Maybe a fantasy farming sim will work better for them. I really hope so! Earthlock is a unique rpg. It's just not...what's the word? Coherent.
As someone who values storytelling above all I'm very excited! Hopefully it's as well written as it seems and becomes dark and tragic with tough moral choices.
My only complaint really is the voice direction for Seronoa who sounds like a smiling plank through the whole demo.
I need to know a bit more. If the capturing and combat works similar to Legends Arceus then I'm hype! If it's more like random encounters like the other games then I'll probably skip this one.
Cloud version = no buy.
Not unless I know I can play this 10 years from now.
If it was through Steam I'd be more open to it because my Steam library is still alive and kicking.
You can still redownload your purchases so "dissappear" is a click baity way of putting it.
Save the panic for when they actually shut off the Eshop servers.
I finished the demo and I love every single thing about this game. The writing, music and graphics are superb! Combat is fun as heck! A 10/10 for me so far.
I think this is the most fun I've had with pokemon since Gold/Silver. I hope we see a Legends 2 or that they continue this gameplay of alphas and free-aiming, tossing etc. You know what I mean.
I think I'll just quit buying big games if Nintendo starts selling NFTs. My backlog is long enough to last a lifetime anyway and thankfully a lot of indies will continue to make fun, bs free games.
Buying an NFT is like buying a digital receipt. Or buying a hyperlink. You don't own anything useful. It's a scam. If you have money but don't know what to buy why not buy 1000 trees? Or donate to a soup kitchen?
If it was on a more stable marketplace say Xbox or Steam then maybe. But cloud game on a Nintendo platform? Knowing how Nintendo never bothers with backwards compatibility! Absolutely not!
Not only is this the best VN I've ever read, it's the best work of fiction I've ever read. Yes, the first half is a little slow, setting things up. But it's thanks to that setup that the next half is truly outstanding! I uglycried several times.
I'm on a Family plan but no one else is interested in N64 games and I'm not willing to pay 80€ by myself for the service.
Maybe after they add Majoras Mask, Banjo Kazooie, DK64, Pilot Wings, F-Zero and Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
That would be tempting for me.
At least they run at a steady fps and have the national dex. I know a lot of people dislike the chibi artstyle but I think BDSP is way better than SwSh.
I still play a few times a week. I don't time-travel and the game is not "finished until I get all Nook Miles. Which requires at least 100 K.K. concerts.
I just finished building a farm for the new crops and removing all Halloween decorations.
This week I think I'll try cleaning up my house a bit before the HHP expansion and gyroids.
I actually started playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore. So far I really like it. It reminds me A LOT of Persona 4 but revolves around the idol music industry instead of a TV world. But yeah, it's basically Persona 4 but Fire Emblem shadow characters instead of Personas.
Basically you don't need to know anything about Fire Emblem and if you want a Persona game on Switch well, apparently Atlus already made one and forgot to tell us.
@Strumpan apparently a group of parents threatened legal actions back in 2013 over Senran Kagura Burst for 3DS and claimed it was child pornography. That scared Bergsala and Nintendo so they haven't dared to release a Senran game since. That's the reason according to the publisher. Nintendo did not want to upload it in the swedish eshop. I mailed and asked them because I was curious.
The irony is you can find Senran games on Playstation Store in Sweden since no one threatened them.
I've always wanted pokémon to be a little bit more adult. This was great to watch even though I suspect this only a marketing trick. I mean it has to be only that.
@Markiemania95 I can confirm this is still in effect on Switch. Senran Kagura games are not available in the Swedish eshop but is available in Norway and UK for instence.
The differece with Dying Light is that Nintendo Europe is located in Germany where the game is banned. I guess they can't legally accept payment for the game in that country, even if the money comes from a foreign purchase.

Re: Don't Starve Together Locks In April Release For Switch eShop
This is not Don't Starve. This is Don't Starve Together. A stand-alone multiplayer focused version of the first game.

Re: Square Enix Details Current Issues And Future Of New Switch Racer Chocobo GP
I'd say don't bother. You already screwed up and made it a 50€ mobile game. Your PR for this game is never going to recover from that.
Re: Uh-Oh, Chocobo GP's Season Pass Is Ruffling A Few Feathers With Fans
Game is monetized like a free cell-phone game but costs €50.
Yeah no I'm out.

Re: Poll: Are You A Fan Of Nintendo Switch Online's Game Pass-Style Missions And Rewards?
Just give me a profile pic of every single fighter in Smash and we're golden.
After that, themes!
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Pokémon Scarlet And Pokémon Violet?
I need to know a bit more. If the capturing and combat works similar to Legends Arceus then I'm hype! If it's more like random encounters like the other games then I'll probably skip this one.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At The New Open World In Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
If capturing and battling is as seamless like Legends Arceus then I'm sold.
If not then I'm not interested. Easy as that.

Re: Puzzle & Dragons Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This Week
If I understand correctly online play is only available in PvP Mode? Meaning you can only play co-op locally? That's a shame.
Re: Hands On: Triangle Strategy Delivers Deep Turn-Based Combat To Match Its Incredible Art

A 10/10 for me so far.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Arceus Version 1.0.2 Is Now Available, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Re: Nintendo "Has Interest" In NFTs And The Metaverse But Ponders What "Joy" It Can Provide
I think I'll just quit buying big games if Nintendo starts selling NFTs. My backlog is long enough to last a lifetime anyway and thankfully a lot of indies will continue to make fun, bs free games.
Re: Konami Is Committed To NFTs In Order To Preserve Beloved Content As "Commemorative Art"
As we all know 'konami' is japanese for 'greedy duchebag'.
Re: Team17 Is Jumping On The NFT Train With 'MetaWorms'
Buying an NFT is like buying a digital receipt. Or buying a hyperlink. You don't own anything useful. It's a scam.

SMT V is really fun and it's refreshing to actually get a challenge and see the Game Over screen in a turn-based rpg.
