Really angry about the 60$ price of crash in Europe especially in relation to the 39$ price in the US... I did buy it because I have a week off the coming week... sadly I’m at the point in life where time is more valuable than money because the pricing is awful
@Paddle1 epic has enough money to have their own payment methods so they wanted to avoid the AppStore. Apple wants a level playing field, forcing everyone to sell through the same route. Though that does lead to a lot of profit for Apple as well it also brought equality in the app/game dev market so that smaller developers actually make a shot at selling their games with the AppStore serving kind of as their publisher. Epic actually pretended to stand up for the smaller developers, with the goal to make the money from smaller devs themselves (making it a percent cheaper for the smaller devs, yay)
Its a messy fight which either way will end up not changing anything for us/smaller devs. Just for epic. Also epic might have less strict rules for their apps, potentially opening possibilities for apps to appear with harmful code or Unstable performance, something Apple has been guarding tightly since the AppStore launched
this game was always a lot of fun when I used to play in on Mac, seeing it for only 17€ makes it a fun nostalgic instant buy for me. Also I've never played the Co-op so I'm looking forward to try it
@Late ohno I thought the article stated it was coming today... I prefer to keep my account in one country because otherwise I need to keep multiple trash accounts.... I hope they bring it over to EU because it looks charming and fun and at 8 euro's I wouldn't even think twice and buy it just to try it
So why does everything take so long to load in this version of minecraft, I always need to turn on airplane mode to get into a world and I cannot see half my packs when in airplane mode... 4j’s minecraft however works so quickly, I don’t understand what they messed up with this game
@LEGEND_MARIOID I haven’t heard of that, did you try using the website (sometimes your creditcard requires a verification which the on console eshop doesn’t show)
I just want planet coaster, please don’t let the sales of this game be an indicator of any interest to that. I tried this game on PS4 at a friends house and the Jurassic park theming doesn’t really grab me tbh
@theiRiS @LatsaSpege ok, I made a guest account which points to japan and downloaded the famicom and ninjala, going to see how it plays. Haha I was feeling stubborn but ultimately caved. Thank you
@LatsaSpege I understand but having multiple accounts without use on my switch besides downloading this game feels a bit annoying since you’ll receive all news double
Can’t wait for not to be able to find this in the Dutch eshop... it’s weird it’s not available here, regulations here are no different as we get most gacha style games here. It seems like they think we must be Belgium or something.
Making Swimming pools zoos and Rollercoasters 3 was amazing. 1 and 2 are currently mainly handled by Atari, which is the company that also gave us rollercoaster touch, for switch and other microtransaction ridden games. Frontier however is the awesome dev who still makes great tycoon games. I have 3 on iOS but it’s not the complete edition, I will probably double dip although I expect this one to be over the 9,99 App Store price.
@Cyberbotv2 to me (having big hands) they improve my enjoyment massively. They only work in portable mode and ergonomically really they do feel like a portable and split up version of the pro controller. The texture feels more plasticky but the good durable kind.
They don’t have batteries which makes your switch super light as well, which I didn’t expect to enjoy that much but I do! Also the turbo buttons are great for crafting in animal crossing and chatty villagers.
Downsides were: my Zr trigger used to make a squeeky noise, but since a few weeks it stopped doing that, so I guess problem solved.
@MeowMeowKins the Netherlands does allow microtransactions but not for gambling/lootcrates. Fortnite is available since whenever. But since I hate lootcrates anyway I’ll just have to live with not having Ninjala, you’re probably right
I’m kind of annoyed by the price bump physical games give to digital. Many games are expensive because the physical stores need to be satisfied... sonic forces goes for 40€ usually, I can only understand because that would be the physical price. I’d gladly pay for my games, but I really don’t care about physical stores.
Still amazed ninjala isn’t available in the Netherlands, I tried contacting them about it but they only replied they won’t give Feedback about availability
Actually wondering if they will release this in EU territories.. as it’s not available in English speaking countries such as Belgium and the Netherlands
Wondering if they did not know most games in those regions are English and did not want to release in a non native language
I just returned my pair of joycon right before the 2 year EU mark. I got them fixed originally during the 1 year manufacturers warranty but after getting them back they started drifting after a while again and I figured it to be too late. Then I remembered about the 2 year consumer warranty and was in luck (I had 7 days left xD) so I got the 80 euro refunded by the store
My old pro controllers stick also is messed up (doesn’t go up all the way anymore even after recalibration). But that one is about 3 years so I just bought a new one of the 80€ refund
Strangely my original (Launch unit) black left joycon drifts only very slightly but not anything nearly as bad as the one I bought later...
Edit:
Nintendo of Europe doesn’t offer the free out of warranty repairs the US has because we have consumer warranty, if you get any problem with them return them to the store, that way Nintendo also finds out this is a serious problem
I couldn’t resist, played this game when it was launched originally and loved it. Very expensive but I’m really glad this content exists and am willing to show that with my wallet
@DevlinMandrake well Wacom Cintiq is priced around 640€ and also requires a desktop attached to it. I’m trying to say that I also use to have cheaper Wacom tablets (without display) and generally only used them for a few months before deciding I wanted something of a higher quality and with less restrictions.
But hey, the pen being 36€ and including the software is a great deal, colors has always been amazing software and is probably fun for a bit to play around with . @westman98 You can try the sonarpen today as well if you like the tech: https://www.sonarpen.com/
I Know it’s a lot more expensive, but if you’re really planning on digitally drawing I’d just skip these kind of investments and get an ipad, some are around 350, 300 when on sale even and the Apple Pencil is just great on them.
But if you have kids this might be fun... but repetitively stroking the screen probably requires the use of a screenprotector which is glass
I received my third controller yesterday, tried it with the new update, still drifting. Called Nintendo, they said they’re not aware of any issues. Receiving a 4th one today and I hope it doesn’t drift either... strangely my old pro controller has never drifted... this might be a bad batch of controllers because 3 bad ones in a row should be impossible
I just sent two new pro controllers back because of this drift... I hope the one today works fine then otherwise I’ll get a refund and wait a few months
@RileyR I was just pointing out that this person was turning a normal news story into a platform for false news, just shouting things like “a virus like the flu” might not be harmful to intelligent people like you and me. However sadly many people could start thinking this is a truth if they see it everywhere. False or unbacked information is one of the greatest dangers in this time, so please don’t be like China Or the US and just start repeating quotes without scientific backing like some of their puppet presidents do
@everyone, please use the Report function when people are obviously trolling and baiting or spreading annoying off-topic fake news or all of the above as “Andy” does
@WesEds it’s actually physical that’s keeping the prices that high on digital games (To keep stores satisfied), when the physical games finally are only for the collectors prices can be more flexible for the regular game collectors
