This has been on my wishlist for a while. I wonder if this is the time to go for the standard edition.

@roy130390
Yeah, I didn’t wanna take the bait

@johnedwin
Thanks for saving me the 20 minutes it would take to watch their analysis.

This game has always been my nemesis. I specifically bought a desktop PC in 2007 to play Oblivion; however I didn’t like gameplay inside the gates, so I dropped it after two hours. I got busy with job and kids. Fast-forward 3 to 4 years later, I finished it (DLC included ) on a Sony laptop of all things, but it had a wonky fan and this game crashed my computer multiple times from overheating. Back then I didn’t care about settings. I just wanted the darn thing to run.

This is all capitalism in the end, just bigger. If the little fish stuido quietly shut down under it's own weight, it would have just left a small ripple in the pond. The fact that Netflix acquired them and shut them down later just makes it more newsworthy. I'm sure the original founders got paid for the acquisition. Power and greed are part of the human tapestry for thousands of years. I always thought to try Oxenfree mainly due to the art style, but never got around to it. Is it still going to be playable?

@Vimes
There was a rumored remake of one of the earlier Japan-only titiles, but I am glad they went with a brand new iteration. This game looks like it's got the "it factor" in all the right places. I hope I'm not setting myself up for disappointment.

@RickStar
Two thumbs up....
although I'm going to hold out on SW Zero Company for either a sale or (?) Switch 2 edition. I don't care if it runs 30 FPS. I'd play it more if it was portable.

I still rate it ahead of Welcome Tour.

My biggest worry is that somehow Best Buy will mess up my Dagdan Collection preorder. The game itself looks fantastic. I wasn't sure when it was announced, but it has built serious momentum. I have to stop looking at previews, to keep some of it as a surprise.

@Ladrim
I'm sure the Digital Foundry chaps will post something a month from now.

Of the last 3 Elder Scrolls, this is the only one I ever completed including the expansions, on PC ~ 2010. It's also the only one I don't want to revisit. I feel like the window to revisit Morrowind ended about 5-10 years ago, but I always wanted that to be remastered, so who knows. Meanwhile I have started Skyrim about 3-4 times (I own it on PS5 Anniversary, Switch, PC-CD Special, and Steam) but I never got more than a few hours into it. Not sure why....

Technically my son own's the Swtich 2, and we found a launch pro controller at Sam's Club for something like $75, and so I got him that a few months ago. He doesn't care much for Zelda. I on the other hand.... Well, I can't justify either a 2nd console or 2nd controller at this point.

@The-Chosen-one
I also wasn’t sure about the character design, but I got Engage, and thoroughly enjoyed it as an SRPG along with the callbacks to other Fire Emblem games.

Given that the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is over 90% of the total PS5 sales, it is not surprising that physical PS5 games hardly ever make the top 10.

I wonder what is the agenda behind publishing these kind of statistics. We know that digital is preferable to physical from the corporation side because they minimize cost and maximize control. From the consumer side, we see that it skews mostly digital, but there is a core of physical enthusiasts. Why the status quo cannot be maintained has never been fully explained to me in a way that makes sense. If they made DLC and microtransactions physical only and not digital, the statistics would be vastly different. We have to remember this was a financial Q&A, and so they spin it in such as way as to reassure investors. My question for everyone on this website, is that when push comes to shove, do you want to support the consumers (gamers), or the investor class, who might or might not give a rat's posterior about the culture of gaming?

@Rykdrew
You can regift those 6 physical games that you don't play to me.
Thank you in advance.

@AlonditeFE
The way I see it if you’re a fan of the franchise then it’s one more thing to add to the pantheon and then endlessly debate our rankings.

@JevVoi
Yeah, the "could have been an email" comment was misplaced.
This video was not like any of the dozens of emails I get per day.

@Dalamar
You would be safe waiting for reviews and an eventual sale. All the Switch Fire Emblems went on sale sooner or later.

@uncleMike
I did not see any guns, but I watched quickly on my lunch break.
I guess a rewatch is in order.

I wasn't sure about the art style and story (and I still have questions about the post-game content), but this was a solid 9 for me. They had me at elephant rider. I can't wait for my collector's edition pre-order, and I am usually not a day one purchaser of hardly anything. The only problem is my son owns the Switch 2, and it is docked in his bedroom. However, since school is starting back up, and we have a no games on schoolnights rule, daddy can borrow for portable play on weeknights (if the wife also allows).

@StarCollector
I'm hoping it takes the best elements of 3H and Engage, and removes some of the less well received aspects of both.

I pre-ordered the Dagdan Collection from Best Buy store pick-up. Hopefully, there won't be any hiccups.

None of these are very good. Was this a big seller?

@SpecG081
I set up price alerts for games that go on sale. It is a common practice.

I’m hoping this update comes with a discount because I’d like to buy this digital

I might have encountered this one "Fixed a case where Chronos could become noninteractive in Erebus if you switched Keepsakes."
I thought he was just chilling out quietly.

Even as an actor, if you are researching your role, how much can you really glean from watching a video game? There’s no actual acting involved. It’s just pixelated expressions.

@Crockin
This makes me wonder if DK is a one off, and they will go back to Mario exclusively. The drop between Odyssey and Bananza is steep.

@Bizzyb
There is an extensive comparison of the Digimon game versions at

@Bizzyb
I need a better IQ to understand what you just said.

Did anybody else notice on MGS4 and Peacewalker Xbox Series S is 2560x1440 output, but on Switch 2 these games are 4K and 1080p respectively?

I posted this before, but physical objects are not immune to removal. I had a Brother laser printer ink that was bricked with a signal sent over the Internet the moment I canceled my subscription to their ink service. It still had 85% remaining, but it became an instant environmental waste product based on some fine print in the Terms of Service.

@jsty3105
OK fine. I don’t mean to drag you into a position that is untenable anyway. The Sony corporation is involved in both movies and video games, so it is relevant to the conversation. Same CEO. Same shareholders. I won’t use the word “anti-consumer,” if that is deemed distasteful. Instead, I would just say that what they did by removing 500 movies was “wrong.”

@jsty3105
I agree those issues are not one and the same.

My original point was that Sony announced they are ending physical Playstation games on the heels of their decision to literally delete digital movies from their members' accounts.
Does that not strike you as anti-consumer?

@progx
You can always buy a 2nd physical copy if yours breaks, I guess.

@PanFriedSoup
Well when digital is "winning" versus physical, you might expect the latter to have more of an underdog mentality.

@Ryu_Niiyama
I'm not sure how they can do that though? More petitions?
Should I run for local government on a "stop killing games" platform?

@jsty3105
Sony notified PlayStation users that 551 StudioCanal movies and TV shows will be permanently removed from their video libraries, effective September 1, 2026.
Do you have any possible justification for that having taken place?

@Rhaoulos
I wouldn't say this Matt Piscatella is a propagandist. I would say that BS, Twitter, X etc do not allow for nuance, due to the short and snappy format. So these short takes are magnified by the reader, depending on which camp they are in.

@HubbaHunt
People forget that the real minority are the CEOs. We outnumber them a million to one. Why should the CEOs shouting orders be acceptable, but the multitude crying out the opposite be ignorable?

@MSaturn
My local Target also seems to have added more vinyl and contracted the video game section in the back hall.

The fact that there has been no price hikes is probably the most notable thing for me.

I wish cloud save was not charged because that seems like a basic feature to have.

@Unpopular_Commentor
I sure hope I never come up for an employment feedback with you as my supervisor.

@TensuraFan7
Yeah, I have the Switch 1 version and given there’s no upgrade path, I don’t see the need to get a second version. It seems to run perfectly fine for that type of art and gameplay.

People are complaining about not knowing enough about this game.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

I have struggled with completing these games and sometimes I think about selling them off. My issues have nothing to do with the graphics, which is actually a highlight. I guess if you’re new to the series might as well go with the Switch 2 version, but I am definitely not double dipping.

@Broch83
I had this problem with Octopath Traveler.

When Nintendo announces the June 30 quarter financials, I don't think Star Fox will have been out long enough to register. I do hope it had more sales in other regions. I was in Japan last month, and did see at least a few ads for Star Fox here and there.

I'm thinking with these low sales they should sunset the original Switch model, and just focus on Switch Lite and OLED. Also try to have a V2 Switch 2 with OLED, Lite, or both by mid 2027. Especially, as I'm reading that Switch will no longer be sold in EU countries?
