This is just something going on with Amazon and Nintendo - first party games have been not been being listed for sale on there and have been being cancelled when they were
@HeadPirate You're making a pretty broad assumption there in saying that Japanese customers were perfectly fine with not owning or playing those games. You have absolutely zero data to back that claim up other than your own opinion of the time in history. That is a world in which they had no option - we have options today for physical or digital and many people have preferences for either which is totally fine. A digitally only future (IMO) is a harmful one for everyone as consumers of this medium. You have limited options for purchasing and we will be at the mercy of whatever those digital storefronts decide to charge. They will not have any competition for sales - and that is always a bad thing. I'm not sure why this is a hill you are dying on, but it's a bad take.
I think I might just pick up the preorder on play-asia for the physical release since I'm assuming the US won't get one. Excited for this! Much rather look at Miku than dudes while I work out
@WhyYouLie What does it being rated M have to do with anything? That makes it more suitable to you because you're an "adult"? Any adult that is demanding something to be rated M for the sake of being rated M is pretty immature imo.
@SonicMania_ I hope so! They never did anything to patch the performance of stories 2 on the switch and just left it a variable uncapped framerate - I really with they would've just given a stable 30 option. My hopes aren't high they will do anything for this one
I'm so confused by this demo - is there really no music in this game? I've been playing it for about 20 minutes and outside of the main screen menus there is no in game music playing.
@GrailUK you literally don't need to buy them - they don't impact anything - you don't even SEE THEM unless you visit the game store - they aren't even advertised in the actual game. This is a game that probably benefits from them being a thing because it will help fund/recoup the actual game itself since it is faily niche. Being upset about this is such a nonissue and (G)amer blown out of proportion created problem.
@nocdaes I think we sometimes forget about the people that might now just be getting a switch for the first time and discovering this game or others - someone that just turned old enough to want one that wasn't a target audience when it first came out.
Such a huge improvement over three houses. I absolutely hated my time spent in that game. Engage was a fantastic return to form with great art, awesome characters and fantastic maps and gameplay.
Remember when they told us patches were coming to fix the actual performance of the game - that's clearly never happening. Gamers really need to hold GF accountable for the products they are putting out and the commitments they are making.
Just played through it on Switch - Super excited for this game but I'll probably pick it up on PS5 instead. The game actually runs really good (60fps) but there are some definite issues with the graphics. There is some really weird dithering or something going on with the characters when they are in motion and it really messes with my eyes. When you get up close on characters and nothing is in motion it looks pretty great but when everything starts moving it looks so bizarre.
@anti-matter - easy, this game isn't for you. It's so bizarre that you comment on every single thread of this game saying you only want male trainer games. Understood. Go play those then.
@anti-matter that is such a bizarre thought process. You don't want to play game A because of the music from game B being a roman numeral based game that has mature themes being featured as DLC that you would choose to buy to add in the game on your own and isn't there by default.
@KalamStrifeVII I just played through the entire SP campaign last week - I was wanting to jump in to the MP but it was offline. Super excited it's coming back up!
@Not_Soos While I agree with you and I'm friends with many ex's...wouldn't it have been easier just to say that you sent this to your friend and not have to have gone in to all of that extra dialogue?
Nintendo did a very poor job of communication and marketing of this DLC. Watching that trailer was clearly confusing for many as to what you were actually getting for what you were paying for. This isn't a "bonus". You are paying for it. There is literally zero content in this wave one that you are paying for - it's a skin. All of the exact same shops and content as the current hub world , now just in a reskinned environment that you are paying for for some odd reason.
If anything, Inkopolis could have been included as a pre-order of the DLC bonus item and not marketed as something you were paying for. I think that would've went over much better than how it did.
Clear miss on Nintendo's part here.
That being said, I loved the octo-expansion pass for Splatoon 2 and I'm sure side order will be fantastic and well worth the money.
@Anti-Matter You literally have the worst takes ever. I'm not really sure what your deal is. You come on here and flex how amazing a new paw patrol game is and how it deserves more attention and then hate on actual mainstream games that people enjoy and say they are "uneducated". It's astounding how immature you are.
@Tasuki It's more of that WB brought in some people to change the direction of the DC universe and they didn't want him to be part of it - something that is out of his control and also a decision that was made after WB and Cavil were originally locked in for the next steps in the franchise. DC Universe has been shaky at best and they decided to adjust their direction and the new people in charge are not sticking with the original plan. He didn't jump the gun at all.
@Anti-Matter I guess you’re too lazy to read correctly . He said 22gb in total for the game after the patch bringing it to version 1.08. It’s astounding how dense you are with your comments .
