Re: Japanese Charts: Shin Megami Tensei V Drops As Elden Ring DLC Bundle Takes The Throne

@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.

Re: Capcom Celebrates Dragon's Dogma 2 Launch With 'Dark Arisen' eShop Sale

@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.

Re: Sci-Fi RPG CRYMACHINA Lands Action-Packed Demo On Switch eShop Today

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.

Re: Splatoon 3 Reveals Expansion Pass Wave 1 Launches Later This Month

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.

Re: Henry Cavill Won't Return To The Witcher Even Though He's No Longer Superman

@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.

Re: Capcom Has Released A Day-One Update For Monster Hunter Stories 2

@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 . A ps5/Xbox is using much higher textures/resolutions which all take up more storage space and regardless of compression will always equal out to more data than a switch game .
