@the_beaver Investors want growth. They don't want to see numbers maintained, they want to see numbers grow. When they don't, investors look at other opportunities.
A friend and I just finished the entirety of Revelations on the 3DS together in co-op. Just us sitting there like kids playing our 3DS's working to finish the game. One of the best gaming experiences we ever had, it's stunning. The 3D is really great too, would highly recommend Revelations on 3DS especially if you have someone to coop it with.
@jweikel Thanks, I appreciate that. Do the stories change up drastically? I just find with the first chapters they are literally the same, so I feel like I’ve done the same thing 4 times in a row, so I’m wondering if this is just going to be more of the same
@sleepinglion I might even sell mine, about 10 hours in but it's just quite...boring. Repetitive, and you can't actually go off and do stories in whichever order you want because of the level restrictions...
It's beautiful, and really unique looking, but it just doesn't have much meat on the bones I think
@Knuckles-Fajita I'm sorry, but investors definitely do care about years ahead. There are those of us who invested in 2012 and have seen incredible returns over a 6 year period. What we do is sell a large stake in our investments, because we look at the relative growth of Nintendo over the next year or two (against the previous year) and see that there are better opportunities elsewhere.
Coupled with the fact that the current trade war climate, and the final decision in a few days, it's better to get some dry powder for what's to come.
To correct you, it's the Traders who are looking for immediate profits, investors are almost certainly in it for the long run.
I want to play again, but I can't even get the game running. It just loads the bar and then crashes out, on an iPhone X (and yeah, tried deleting and reinstalling etc)
Agree with @gcunit the score shouldn't be marked down on the merit of being niche, especially as in this case it seems like it's a really good simulator.
I couldn't bring myself to finish it, I really like the style of it - but the review is spot on, there's basically no substance and it gets old fast. I'd love to see what the studio do next, though - as now they'll have a lot of user feedback steering them in a better direction.
@Indielink OK that wasn't fair of me to compare the sale price but looking back I see that Skyrim Special Edition was released at £30 on all platforms when it was relaunched, which is still £20 cheaper than we're getting it at, even before you account for the switch tax on physical copies, right?
@MartyFlanMJFan I get you but there are other cross platform games released at the same price. Granted they're indie titles but my worry is that it isn't going to sell as well as it can because of the price, then the publishers will in time say they didn't do well enough on the switch to warrant further game releases and we all lose. I want them to do loads of games for the switch that everyone can enjoy, but at a reasonable price that's all.
How on earth is this edition £50 where the same ones on Xbox and PS4 are £30 tops? If it was £30 as well I'd be all-in, but that extra £20 seems like a rip-off
