@Crono1973 Because a lot of these "remasters" are done using AI upscaling to maximize profit (don't gotta pay AI) and not ig teams of people wanting to make it the best possible experience. They're not projects of love like the recent Star Ocean 2 remaster was. These are just to appease share holders and allow the fat cats at the top to afford a new mansion.
I tried Rise when it was a free trial or something awhile back and was bored to tears in about an hour. I'm not sure why, I enjoyed the Wii one even if i didn't play all that much but Rise felt tedious by the time I crafted my first armor.
I mean anything digital is always free as it's infinitely reproducible at 0 cost or loss, especially pictures. Unless you're trying to tell me NFTs have value haha.
Here in Murrica it's common for our three letter agencies to be well aware of people who do these types of things. They just don't act until after they've carried out their attacks.
Going to the local mom and pop trade in shop and coming home with FF7 is a day I'll always remember. Riding home and looking through that glorious fat manual all games had before they got too cheap to give us paper.
Can't say I'd bother playing a demake or the remake though. Ps1 version emulated at 8x resolution with all the QoL bells and whistles is where it's at.
Boggles my mind how people are 'waiting' for something that's been readily available for years due to some misguided loyalty to a souless company that is actively against their consumers.
@jmvalone What are you even on about? Have you seen the news on the last 4 years? Leftists are actively pushing drag queen trans people to be around their kids, as weird and wrong as it is. Yes, us with morals are still pushing against it, and it will end sooner than later as more of us join, but acting like a drag queen in a game would get anything but applause from outlets pushing that agenda is laughable.
A shame companies don't even try to work on optimization or performance anymore. PS5 games hit 100GBs now due to lazy devs and their new PC motto of "just upgrade to play our games". Sinking ship this industry.
What does that even mean? I know you guys are the biggest lickers of the big N boot online, but why are you also against game preservation? RENTING your old Nintendo games for $60 a year through NSO isn't really ideal.
Well pretty disappointing. Animal Well looks pretty cool and I like the Yar girls personality despite her looking bland and the world's looking pretty bare.
I like when there aren't upcoming games I want since that just means filling up backlog with on sale games instead.
Neat, on my birthday. I haven't been interested for a so called triple A game in ages so this is where I get excited. Innovation and passion here, not just appeasing shareholder overlords.
Really do not get why they're remastering this (besides greed and easy profit with no effort since AI handles remasters in most cases). You can't make 2d paper style characters look any better. But I'm sure many mindless consumer cattle will line up to throw $60 (or they trying to push 70 nonsense again) away for what.. a handful of QoL improvements?
As Draconian as laws across the world become to surpress voices, censor truth and push an agenda, this is still just a really wild law. Up to 5 years in jail for selling people some digital Pokemon in a game nobody will be playing in 5 years? LOL.
I got Doorkickers, Arkane, Mana Spark and Good Night Knight. Played a little of each and they all seem actually pretty decent, especially for 80 cents. Dex was one of the first games I got for my Switch and it's also pretty good.
I got a chuckle out of a joke within the first couple minutes of Good night Knight that was worth the 20 cents alone!
Doorkickers reminds me of this SWAT game I used to play waaay back in the early 90s and it has touch controls that make it pretty cool to drag around your way points and stuff.
Also people keep saying Robonauts, but it's not included in this sale and is 1.99.
Discord is a horrible horrible place anyway just like the cesspit it's HQ is in, San Fran.
Good luck Nintendo, you'll never slay the hydra regardless of how much money you waste and you've actively created an army of people determined to steal from you for the foreseeable future with your anti consumer BS. God forbid I want to play the games I pay for on my phone where they run better than your turd console.
Played a bit on mobile but wasn't very impressed but I'm not really into games that play themselves in a sense. I like actually doing attacks bit just having the potato auto whack things when they get close.
A paid BR game is a very slippery slope. Although this isn't a BR game at all really so..kinda weird marketing it like that. But buzzwords and whatnot.
With the millions of games out with new stories and innovations to discover, I can't really say I want to play...Pac-man...these days.
Repetitive should never be a pro. Something can be repetitive but should never feel that way (a match of Overwatch for example is repetitive in nature, but never FEELS that way) when playing.
@Joshie0234 Why would they ever waste their time reviewing the dozens of cool smaller games actual gamers might be interested in when they have to tell us that unsurprisingly they found the latest Nintendo slop to be amazing totally 9/10 as always.
Wonder how many iterations they can churn out before the masses get bored of all CGI no content films such as this? 7 or 8 at least judging by the continuously plunging IQ of humans in general.
