@johnedwin I think if you are a gamer in Japan, DQ3 was a must-play. And, by all accounts, it was very well made. So it's unsurprising that, if you ask a group of people in the Japanese games industry what their favorite game of 2024 was, they are largely enthusiastic about it.

@johnedwin Or it's an individual writing a review and their take on it will be unique to their experience. They don't have to match the consensus score on metacritic.

@Vyacheslav333 Saying the devs are lazy is lazy commentary. Game developers work very hard to put out a product they can be proud of and are not at all at fault for decisions made by the publisher.

@GameOtaku you mean it’s not a good alternative for you specifically. May I remind you that you are not the protagonist. None of us have to change our thoughts or speech to cater specifically to you. Because, believe me when I tell you this, there are hundreds of millions of people for whom streaming is a viable option if that is what they are inclined to do. You are a fringe case and not representative of the general population
—Just wanted to edit this to admit that the last line of that comment wasn’t my finest moment. I recognize that there are an enormous number of people in this world who don’t have access to reliable internet and that I am in a position of relative privilege. That said, what does it matter to you if those that are able to stream the game stream it? It has no effect on whether or not you have access to the game. We should not enjoy the experience just because you can’t?

@GameOtaku Ok well that's a bummer. I guess what I was saying wasn't really directed specifically at you though. It was more a general statement about how it will be accessible to most people either way than it was a statement about whether or not GameOtaku will be able to play it. And why are you fussed? You said in another comment that you weren't interested in it anyways.

@GameOtaku Sorry to hear that. I figured the people on this website must have access to a device with a browser and that many of them do have some form of reliable internet access. So, you know, those interested parties would still be able to play the game even if it isn’t released for switch and they don’t have another console or a gaming pc. Sorry I was being so exclusive

@GameOtaku I played Yakuza 3-7 on gamepass cloud gaming on my 2011 MacBook Air. Also most people have a phone so they can do it there too. The only limitation is your internet speed.

It doesn't look particularly good for switch owners at the moment, but I'm holding out hope until either Atlus states definitively that it is not coming to switch, or the announcement is absent from the next direct. Atlus hasn't been handling marketing very carefully with these two games and it's possible that the switch logo should not have been put up for P5T yet. It's fine, though. I mean, anyone can literally play it in their browser with gamepass ultimate, so no has to miss out. I'd just prefer to play it on switch though.

When you described it, I thought "I am so here for that." But then I watched the video and that just does not seem good.
