Just wanted to pop in to say I am loving this game. So the review bombers (as if anyone worries about toxic gamers' thoughts) and naysayers can suck it.
@Darlinfan The point stands, I believe. Of course apartheid was heinous (I'm from South Africa), but the concept applies, if you so argue. It could be said that not preserving these titles is unethical, but that there currently is no lawful way of doing so.
Also - what if, say, you have a physical copy of Super Fire Pro Wrestling, but want to play it on your laptop via emulation. How is that different from ripping a CD that you own?
Of course, providing it to the market outside creates all kinds of issues. But my point is, it is not nearly as black and white as some would have us believe.
Ja. So I live in South Africa. Internet is iffy at best. This is a first world future. It also means subscription, in stead of owning.
Not a fan, but not suprised. At least for something like Fifa this would make a lot of sense, because apart from roster updates, most year on year games are the mostly the same.
@tedko For what it is worth, ethics in this case would be a two way street. One could argue it is our responsibility to preserve these titles any which way, as opposed to the obvious counterpoint.
I lost all will to try this after last year's version broke me. I don't want The Journey, or graphical parity. But is a revamp of career mode and a slicker engine too much to ask for?
Really conflicted about this. I love football games, but last year's was a letdown compared to other versions. I am not too bothered about stuff like Ultimate Team (as long as I can play seasons, or career mode, I'm happy). But bloody hell, the game felt so much different than the other console versions.
Traded it in for Splatoon 2. Best decision ever. Seems this year I'll be picking up Pokémon Let's Go instead of this steaming tur...key.

@iLikeUrAttitude So how can you possibly know it is a 6 out of 10?

@iLikeUrAttitude did you actually play it?
Re: Soapbox: Don't Listen To The Pokémon: Let’s Go Haters - The Game Has Definitely Found Its Audience
In any case, has anyone in the history of anything ever taken user reviews seriously?
Re: Soapbox: Don't Listen To The Pokémon: Let’s Go Haters - The Game Has Definitely Found Its Audience
Screw all the cynical naysayers. I am loving the game.

Re: Nintendo Wins $12 Million From Trademark And Copyright Infringement Lawsuit
People keep on conflating what is lawful and what is ethical. Apartheid was law, but sure as hell wasn't ethical. Is this?

Re: Square Enix Reports $33 Million Loss After New Studio Shifts Focus
@sleepinglion After playing both demos, that is exactly how I felt. I was so excited for it. It certainly looked the parted, but didn't feel it.

@Regpuppy South African here. Usually games go for about R880, or about 50 euros. Smash is retailing for R1100, or about 80 euros.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reveals Nintendo Has Already Selected DLC Fighters For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
My biggest gripe with Smash is the price. It is way more expensive than other new releases.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reveals Nintendo Has Already Selected DLC Fighters For Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
@janfritz Rayman just got added to Brawlhalla. I doubt he will make a Smash Appearance.
Re: Celeste Creator Teases Work In Progress
@ilikeike I haven't played Celeste, but I also go one just from looking at that...
As an aside - compared to, say, Shovel Knight, how hard is Celeste?
Re: Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Won't Include Pro Controller Support
@DownRightSam Nope, it does.
Re: Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Won't Include Pro Controller Support
Since I basically only play handheld, I fail to see an issue.

Re: Random: Here's Why One Of The World's Best National Teams Isn't In FIFA 19
@gortsi Modric is, and some of the players are (depending on if their clubs are registered). But the Croatian league and team is not.
Re: Random: Here's Why One Of The World's Best National Teams Isn't In FIFA 19
@MattFox Konami has the Brazilian liscenses for the clubs.
Pity they butcher everything apart from the gameplay. But then, they ain't on Switch, so I couldn't be arsed.
@DockEllisD No, they are not.

@tedko For what it is worth, ethics in this case would be a two way street. One could argue it is our responsibility to preserve these titles any which way, as opposed to the obvious counterpoint.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy
This is more of an ethics issue then. Legality does not equal ethical, and vice versa.
But that is in any case besides the point. Music companies used to pull this poop too. Now everyone streams.
