Re: Atlus Wants To Know If You'd Like Persona, Etrian Odyssey And Other Past Games On Your Switch

dougphisig

I recently grabbed Persona 4 golden for Vita, but if it came to switch I'd be more likely to play it there since i'd love to play it on my TV over portably. Also I'd consider double dipping on P5 Royal if it was on switch I have regular one on my PS4, but don't have the time for Royal at the moment, and still not sure if there is enough new stuff there to want to play through it.

Re: You Might Not Be Able To Transfer Animal Crossing: New Horizons Save Data To Another Switch

dougphisig

I'm not really into Animal Crossing, but it really does seem like they are trying to limit a lot of things people want from this. I don't understand why people would care so much even if there is such things as time manipulation in what is pretty much generally a single player game. I could understand if there was online multiplayer, but seriously Nintendo really likes to make their cloud saving pointless for almost any entry people want it in, and making it difficult to even get save info elsewhere. Any chance at me getting this game keeps going down with all these rules and stipulations they keep putting on the game.

Re: The Switch Online Service Now Has More Than 15 Million Subscribers

dougphisig

As soon as my free year is up from twitch prime special I will not be renewing unless they do more to keep me. The SNES games they added were a good start, but it's not enough at this point. They have really just done the bare minimum, while yes the price is cheap it feels like they have not put any of the money they are getting from it back into the product to push for more subs. I'd like to see more free games, more deals, and stuff like new themes added especially. Voice chat should be fixed as well, while I wouldn't really use it it's in a bad state.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Sold A Phenomenal 16 Million Copies In Under Two Months

dougphisig

Imagine if they actually put more work into making the game better than it was it probably would have already outsold everything at this point. It's not a terrible game, but it just could be so much more if they put just a little bit more effort into the series. I'm hoping the expansions are better than buying a sequel or 3rd version of the game that they would usually do. Only time will tell, I generally have a lot of troubles coming back to games for DLC so that tends to be a problem with DLC as well.

Re: Here's Another Monster-Battling RPG That's After Pokémon's Crown

dougphisig

I'm still waiting on Monster's crown that I kickstarted. For now no plans to kickstart anymore until i get some more of the games I've put money on in kickstarter. So far I've gotten 2 out of 5, with at least one of the titles i'm pretty sure will never come out, and my first one I did was an MMO that I think may eventually come out, but god knows when it will come out and what shape it will be in. I do think Monster's Crown will eventually release, but the creator has had medical issues.

Re: Talking Point: How Much Is Your Video Game Collection Really Worth To You?

dougphisig

When you think about cartridge rot it makes you think about the fact that some of these old games that are worth pretty good amounts of money are they worth continuing to hold onto when eventually they will be unplayable due to components going bad makes me sad. Then again I haven't played any of my super nintendo games from the games themselves in such a very long time due to going through various SNES & retron type systems that have crapped out on me, amazingly I still have a working N64 though lol.

Re: Comparing The Witcher Games To The Books Is Like Comparing "Spaghetti Carbonara With A Bicycle", Says Creator

dougphisig

After watching the TV series I picked up the game on Steam on sale and look forward to giving it a go at some point, additionally I want to read the books now as well. A good work of fiction should drive you to check out everything about the universe so I think it's a good thing. However I do think his thinking is pretty "interesting" to say the least. I definitely feel the TV show will help sell more books though for those interested to see where the story is going since the games are more of a sequel.

Re: Random: Smash Ultimate Evo Japan Champion Drops Golden Prize Controller On Stage

dougphisig

I'd think they should get the controller as a bonus in addition to the prize money, I've heard nintendo was bad at prizes for tournaments, but that's really bad if it's true that it's just a controller. Also dang that sucks to just drop the controller, but being in that box i'm sure it offered it some cushion, and those pro controllers seem to be pretty strong overall even if it had landed on it directly which it wouldn't have with the box.

Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Sword And Shield Lifetime Sales Overtake Splatoon 2, And Smash Is Next

dougphisig

@Razer This news matters because it's a japanese based company, and a lot of the trends for games they produce are based on the japanese market so it is actually important. Just looking at the sales numbers alone you can see how much of a juggernaut japan is for nintendo's sales of this console when it's over 1/4 of the units sold most likely for one smaller nation.

Re: Fire Emblem's Byleth Confirmed As Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's 5th DLC Fighter

dougphisig

I love 3 houses, but this doesn't seem like a great choice for the next Smash character, Personally I'm picking up on DLC characters I'm interested in and there is plenty of FE representation already. If they were going to do 3 houses would have been way more interesting to choose to do the 3 house leaders. It's a good thing there is going to be more characters or else this would have been a bit of a thud to finish off the roster.
@thesilverbrick I agree the music for the game is great to be added though!

Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate's 5th DLC Character Will Be Revealed On 16th January In Livestream

dougphisig

Ugh where the heck is our first direct this stinks. I'd say at this point with the capcom announcement of DMC stuff on the 16th this pretty much all but confirms Dante for Smash. I like the choice, but I really want to know more about what Nintendo has planned this year. I'm not super into Smash DLC I only picked up Joker so far and Piranha plant since he was free. I don't know why you need a 35 minute video just for information on the smash character.

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Miitomo

dougphisig

So yeah I tried Miitomo and thought it wasn't very good let alone really much of a game. Any chance of putting a serious thought in games of the decade discussion came to a big halt by putting this on the list! I respect that someone can have an opinion about this, but there are so many great nintendo games that this really doesn't belong on something like this. I also did not like anything mii related for the most part. The whole mii thing never seemed like that good of an idea even.

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th January (North America)

dougphisig

@readalie I have it pre-ordered it was just a comment because the games 8 days away and probably would have fit more on next weeks nintendo downloads instead . However there wasn't many games for this weeks downloads, and maybe that's why they included it early.

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Dark Souls

dougphisig

Only thing about this is that really Dark souls comes from Demon's Soul, but the series in general has been a very big influence, and sadly most people don't say it's a Demon's Soul like experience. When you are basically identified as a genre you know it's been very influential.

Re: Feature: Game Of The Decade Staff Picks - Fire Emblem: Awakening

dougphisig

Since it's of the decade I guess I can understand a bit more, if 3 Houses had a bit more time I think it could replace it for some people. Personally I tried to play awakening, and got a little bit of play out of it, but it wasn't until 3 houses that I finally fully enjoyed a Fire Emblem game. Maybe I just enjoyed some of the simplifications of stuff there. However you also can't ignore Awakening reviving the FE franchise though.
