Re: Shigesato Itoi's Company Announces The Mother Project - Includes Book And "Other News" Before The End Of 2020

Hell, I'd be happy with an art book? Won't be buying a Japanese script though...well, maybe in the distant future as I brush up on my Japanese, ha. I'm playing a fan translated GBA cart of Mother 3 right now, it's absolutely great. Playing on a SP AGS101 as well, hooray! A trilogy release would be great. I don't know why they don't have more interest in the whole Mother series really, it's very unique and engaging while still playing like a classic RPG. Earthbound was great (beat it 6ish months ago), and I'm sure I'll be amazed by the time I beat Mother 3 (it's already amazing). Mother 1 is more like the first Final Fantasy for me - I really like the whole design, aesthetic and gameplay, but it's too oldschool, tough and cryptic lol. Could probably play through it ez though with all the newschool savestates/rewind business. I'm not above using that to play/experience classic games I don't want to spend months mastering.

I always named this my favourite Zelda, but I must admit, the only time I beat it was with a guide when I was 12. Got all the masks. I played through about half of the 3DS version, but got distracted. It seemed to have enough QOL improvements that it might be possible to navigate the game without one. I was enamored with the atmosphere and story, much like all the other folks that call this their favourite.

Good on them for owning up to it, but I think a lot can be solved by not jumping to conclusions. Or through direct communication. I had a upstairs neighbor who I regularly hung out with call the cops on me and my band at 9:27pm when we were finishing up...she didn't bother phoning, texting or informing us that she had just got a new job requiring her to wake up at 3:30am. Let's talk to one another like regular people!

Re: E3 2020 Won't Get An Official Digital Replacement, Despite Initial Plans

Not really disappointed. I don't see much of a point of expos, besides fans being able to dress up, socialize and trade things, but that could be done seperately. I find the cost overhead at conferences for OTHER industries to be a huge waste of capital, and E3 is no different. Do a stage show from the Office, or from Home. It can still be cool, amazing, creative, and save money! Hearing about games via any means is exciting to me

Re: You'll Be Able To Buy The Borderlands And Bioshock Games Separately On The Switch eShop

@nessisonett not really. People pay good money for repackaged old music, books, movies...some of those involve tech being worse at the older time, but the new product will still be more expensive. This makes it portable as well. If you can't afford it or already played, we'll, great. I might get a game on Switch, wait for a sale. Never understood whining on prices. Things cost money. These are fat collections, and they will go down in price.

Re: Talking Point: Saber Interactive's Latest Witcher 3 Update Sets A New Standard For Switch Ports

I fully support this and think it's amazing. I don't care hugely about graphics and whatnot, but there are certain games that I would like to see the 'full' beauty of. I love my Switch and PC, so this is a godsend, in my view. Would be nice if this could be patched in for DQXI but I doubt it! There are enough Steam sales and Switch sales that I don't have to blow full price on both versions.
