@Synthatron_Prime More games for more players is always good.

@Audiogore0733 True. I keep hoping for an Arkham Knight PS5 patch to unlock 60fps, but I doubt it’ll ever happen at this point.

@Gryffin Tl;dr You don’t like the Switch so it’s a failure.

@Rika_Yoshitake The first two are, tho it’ll likely be a port of the PS4 versions. Knight was always PS4. That complicates matters.

@spiderman0616 Oof. That’s sad.

I still bust out my PS3 (started playing FF13!) on occasion, and have most of my consoles hooked up and ready to play anytime.

I’m more flexible on digital games these days, but movies/shows? I’m always physical unless there’s a MASSIVE discount. Just better quality than streaming.

Gaming…I know gaming is moving to digital only and when that time comes, I have an absolutely GIANT backlog of stuff I can play/watch till I die.

@spiderman0616 And that’s valid!

Me, I do both. I have an entire wall of blu-ray movies, with my PS1/2/3/4/5/Wii U/3DS/Switch games nearby.

We all have our preferences.

@spiderman0616 Say someone hacks your account.

All your purchases are now gone. They’ve enabled 2fa and support does nothing for you.

Suddenly that all-digital world isn’t so fun. Browse the PlayStation subreddit sometime and see the number of folks who don’t take even the slightest bit of care with their account and experience this scenario.

That’s another reason people go physical. Sure, a burglar can come steal your stuff. But an online account? Also stealable and usually with less risk to the stealor.

@samuelvictor DLC is tied to your account and this has been the case on Switch, PS4, PS3, PS5.

It’s standard. You’re safe.

@samuelvictor The code is added to your account. You can download the content to whatever console you’re using. You don’t redeem the same code multiple times.

Fyi, if you have a Target Redcard in the US, you can get 5% off the physical copy itself or gift cards. (Or anything else Target sells, but that’s beside the point.)

@jojobar …Friday was the official release date, and that’s the date people were attempting to redeem.

“people are just dump.”

Someone who spells that intended word as “dump” may want to avoid calling others that. Just saying!

Redeemed mine at 8 pm Central time in the us from my physical copy. Zero issues or errors.

“McDonald’s (or insert other restaurant name here) knowingly made their food delicious and I can’t stop eating it! I demand money!”

That’s how I read this. Just…so stupid.

@SteamEngenius If you think that’s all this is…hooo boy, are you in for a shock.

@Mr_Fox Yes, you are.

Nice to see a different non-snarky-jokey reviewer did this one. The review of this game’s predecessor was...really unkind.

In a world without Ghost of Tsushima, I might have gotten this sooner. As it is, however...sorry, faithful Switch, you are taking a well-deserved rest for a bit.

@NintendoPok Because unlike Persona 5 for Switch, we already know a physical release is happening, genius. It’s official, just a matter of when.

@personauser93 I too let other people enjoying something I like force me to stop enjoying that thing I like.

@HardcoreDaBoss Nintendo doesn't get it?

Uhm...they've sold more Switches in the last two years than anyone thought they would. It's a runaway hit.

But yeah, Nintendo doesn't get it.

@Lizuka Robotics;Notes is getting an English release, so there's that.

You should check out Worldend Syndrome as well, if you haven't already.

@Chunkboi79 Which is why I made sure to exclude them from my statement, as the Arkham series of games is fantastic.

@Chunkboi79 To be fair, the games we get via PS plus are NOT always AAA games. Plenty of snoozers lately, Batman and Darksiders 3 notwithstanding.

@Bearzilla823 Nintendo didn’t say “we’re only adding games once every three months” or even less. They said they’re no longer doing a strict monthly schedule.

This means new games could appear ANYTIME. Doesn’t mean less, doesn’t mean more. Anytime means anytime.

But yes, let’s go right to “NINTENDO IS EVIL STOP MESSING WITH YOUR FANS REEEEEEEEEEEE”

@Shade_Koopa If we never played games twice, I would have zero reason to get this since I own the PS1 version and played it quite a lot.

YOU may not play games twice. You might never read the same book twice. Others do.

“...and Circle”

Hee. Someone didn’t watch their autocorrect when typing “Circe.”

@StevenG Shh, don’t give them any ideas!

Thankfully, they’re not Activision. CTR, anyone?

@EasyDaRon I know this might sound strange, but a good game remains a good game no matter how old it is or whether newer games have exceeded it. The score is deserved.

@Anti-Matter https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/45047/~/how-to-transfer-your-save-data-to-a-nearby-nintendo-switch

Nope, all games.

@Anti-Matter You know you can transfer data from one Switch to another or use the cloud save service to do so, right?

I enjoy pinball.

I enjoy anime boobs.

Senran Kagura wins again!

"For those that haven’t stumbled across this side-scrolling RPG series"

This isn't a "side-scrolling RPG series" and hasn't been with the exception of this game.

"the adventures of chirpy goddess Neptune and the ongoing Console War have been a PlayStation console exclusive for years until now."

Except for all the PC ports of just about every game released up till now.

And you misspelled "installment" as well. All this is in the first paragraph of the review, and it just hurts to read.

Plus, "throwaway cash-ins that have graced PS Vita in recent years" just makes me cringe. Those Vita games also got PC ports, and they're pretty damn entertaining.

@retro_player_22
“Besides who wants Bubsy when literally anything else is coming out this summer anyways.”

FTFY

@NinChocolate Call me crazy, but I'd still like to be able to play games I bought whether Nintendo still provides the downloads or not. Even without patches.

The moment a manufacturer moves to all-digital and no-physical is the moment I switch platforms.

Thankfully, I have enough of a backlog on my PS3/PS4/Wii U (WOULD YOU PLEASE PORT TOKYO MIRAGE SESSIONS DAMMIT)/3DS/Vita/Switch that if the next console generation goes all-digital, it won't bother me much. I have games to play till I die in 30-40 years...

That, combined with the fact that Sony is the only platform maintainer (so far, anyway) that I actually have some modicum of trust regarding previous digital purchases staying with us for the foreseeable (Looking at you, Wii Shop), makes me leery of an all-digital Nintendo platform, period.

All three, as well as the Charizard and Cloud Player 2 re-releases are waiting for me at Best Buy as I type this. GET HERE SOONER, 10 AM!

Now of all the released Smash amiibo, I'm only missing Ike, the Japanese color version of ROB, and Corrin Player 2 after today!

@Frendo Cosmic Star Heroine was part of one of Sony's PLAY promotions when it came out. It got plenty of promotion, at least on PS4, and I had it preordered as a result.

It definitely got promotion above and beyond most games on the PSN at the time.

Sadly, nothing leaps out at me this week. Plus I'm saving my money for Yakuza Kiwami 2 for my PS4. The Switch will have to take a week or so off!

@JJ286 I bought a membership. The default membership period was two years before they stopped accepting new memberships. So I'm good through about March of 2020.

Thank goodness I got in on Best Buy's own Gamer's Club Unlocked a month before it went away. 20% off all games until 2020, preorders or just regular purchases in-store? Yes, please. I haven't touched Amazon for game purchases for months as a result.

Come 2020 I'll actually have to start looking at other retailers for my physical purchases!

@shani Not all hackers are Splatoon 2 cheaters. But all Splatoon 2 cheaters are hackers.

Nintendo might be doing the "kill em all" approach but it'll be effective for the intended purpose.

So...basically this is an article about an eShop promo image being censored.

Not the game itself, just the promo. Knowing that Nintendo likely isn't comfy with showing panties in their eShop preview pics.

This...is a story? I mean, as long as the game itself is intact, this is a complete non-issue.

@NinjaAceTrainer @adh56 I'm an old school gamer, and still think of non-discs as cartridges. I'm an old fart, I freely admit it.

Thanks for the info! That was the nudge I needed, I have a copy waiting for me at Best Buy right now!

Is all the DLC included on-cart, or is the DLC provided by an included code? If the former, instant buy. If the latter...I'll just buy the DLC for my already owned PS4 physical version and call it good.

Wow, more than 100,00 copies! That's...er...good, I guess?

(Translation: Might want to fix that number, Damien!)

Sadly, Yakuza Kiwami came out for PS4 this week, so all other games and systems cease to exist till I play it thoroughly. Which should engage me through the labor day weekend (edit: Except for the Splatfest, of course. I'm not an ANIMAL.), and THEN I'll finally pick up Mario x Rabbids.

Azure Striker Gunvolt has some interest for me...but I'm passing on League of Evil. Only because they've already gotten my money on iOS in the past, and I don't feel the urge to double-dip on a mobile port.

@JTMnM I prefer to think of Federation Force as the Federation Force of Metroid games, so not to insult the Bomberman series. ^_^
