@Mikemario Maybe, i for on still think it is the job of parents to either educate their children on what violence is and how to deal with it or at least prevent them from playing games /seeing movies that are clearly marked as not appropriate for children below a certain age.
@Shiryu i don't think wé'll have to worry about that Square has been rather, how should i put it..., reticent it seems about releasing any major game on with the obvious exception of DQ builders, setsuna and Lost Sphear, wich are great games. considering however the vast library of games they could port / remake or just release as a "classic" their visible efforts to "support" the switch have been rather shallow till now. Octopath has been announced quite a while as has DQ11 not to mention DQ10 wich has been out in Japan for years...
@Fighter_Hayabusa tFrom what i saw in another video, gameplay seems to be first person view in story and in battle (like in older rpg like Ultima underworld, Lands of Lore etc)
@OorWullie it not as much because EA, but more because when they do release a game it is many times an inferior port with missing parts sold at full price. Yes a certain downgrading might be necessary for some games when ported from a different console to Switch but the blatant slashing of features (as in Fifa) on the premise that it would not work on Switch is disappointing.
@maruse yeah, that is not going to happen. It looks like Capcom is still set in its old ways, releasing a port of an older games and then complaining about low sales and pulling support because people are not prepared to pay once again for a game they already have played/bought years earlier.
@nitrolink really, has it though? We've had I am Setsuna, recently Lost Sphear and now DQ builders which are decent games. But where are the big releases, like DQ X, SQ XI, any FF that is not a spinoff, Secret of Mana collection, .... Even Octopath has still nog release date and that games has been hyped for months now.
@tourjeff I do hope so because i love that game. Still those comments always feel a little bit like blackmail to me: "Buy this game of ours and we will think about releasing others if we make enough money" Yes a company has to test the water before jumping in but some of them have been "testing the water" for quite some time already while professing support without actually having anything to show
@retro_player_22 yeah, let's just hope they don't just make a lazy port (li.e. demo DQ heroes). Let us pray they make the same effort as panic button and bethesda did. Localise DQX for pete's sake !!! i'm willing to fork out to play DQ MMO as long as they keep the price fair.
@The_Pixel_King Very farfetched but it would be lovely if they could relinquish their hold on the rights of Scalebound, so the developer could finish the game for Switch.
@tourjeff unfortunately one has little to do with the other. Even when a game is succesful on Switch that does not mean that more recent games will be ported.
