i was hopeful for this game after it caught my eye on the eshop, bummer to see its not living up to that. honestly whenever i hear that a game has grammatical errors that just tells me that the game suffers fron a huge lack of care. like you really cant proofread at all before release??

people saying the next nintendo console not having backward compatibility could make the switch library obsolete...... as if thats not how its been with consoles forever. at some point compatibility has to be dropped for whatever reason. the switch launched with no backwards compatibility and it was perfectly fine.

i'd be hugely disappointed to not have backwards compatibility to take advantage of the upgraded hardware, but it wouldnt be a dealbreaker by any means. though the worst case scenario would be a botw situation where the same game drops on both systems since the newer one doesnt have backwards compatibility...

thanks for reminding me of the sore lack of an urbz 2... im seriously convinced that the best way to keep the sims on consoles is through spinoffs like the urbz. an urbz 2 with a greater focus on building and designing would be so cool, like you play as some kind of city planner having to revitalise the original games districts to bring people back. yes ive dreamed about this😔

since rune factory was mentioned, im wondering how comparable the social interractions are to a typical rune factory? i always get so sick of my partners in rf once they start repeating dialogue (though at least unlocking them as party members and sometimes allowing me into their shops early made the early socialising worth it)
glad to hear that the games generally good though, cant wait to play it tomorrow! i bit the bullet preordering it on a whim, and since kate seems to have similar taste to me im pretty damn certain i'll enjoy it

so what im seeing here is that the only quality of life feature is the ability to plant stuff regardless of season (at least, i think that was a limitation in the original)?? whenever i tried to find info on this game, it was QoL this, QoL that... yet the crafting and inventory management (which are pretty much THE worst parts of rf3) havent been improved??? and of course the awful backgrounds havent been improved from rf4s. who is going to tell these devs that you cant just put a game through waifu2x and call it a day

def going to try to preorder these... but god they're disappointing. shiver's fine, but fryes eye looks so simple? and big mans design is so simple that any quality issues will be super noticeable. amiibos have definitely tanked in quality over time (even compare callie and marie to marina and pearl, the latter two are more glossy/cheap plastic-ey and have worse paintjobs)... i will admit the fabric textures on these are nice though, so maybe they'll be better than i'm assuming

@Friscobay those 20,000 items were like, 5+ colourways of each item, hell there were some items that were used across multiple brands iirc? so 1,400 items is not as small as you'd think since we can customise the colours

(dont want to double comment so treat this as a seperate comment lol) if anyones on the fence the games almost definitely going to be €40 or equivalent; its close to that in japan, and marvelous price a lot of games at €40 over here so they likely wont try to charge more

as an irish person i can confirm that nobody outside of the uk knows what wales is. this article is literally the first time ive heard of it

still disappointed at the demo, as its what got me into this game all those years ago. now i have to beg people to scour sketchy sites to find the old wii download play demos to experience a proper preview for the game. regardless, im probably going to pick the remaster up at some point, though i might wait for a sale

gnosia mentioned!! im glad this game exists so that people can see what not to do with a roguelike/lite rpg. its definitely a genre that hasnt really been explored w roguelike mechanics afaik, and i feel like a fusion of the two genres could really work

...people reacting as if this is bad news when the games been doomed for ages lmaoooo. the games being primarily developed by a mobile studio level 5 acquired, the same studio was behind the terrible fantasy life online. and theres not been any indication that level 5 itself will have much if any involvement outside of publishing. the character designs look to be completely different too (laura looks unrecogniseable for instance), the amazing character designer of the original is probably not involved either. really hoping they at the very least brought nobuo uematsu back

they clearly didnt put any effort into these (the FOEs being orange blobs on the map when that was clearly just a hardware limitation on the ds, im pretty sure the draw distance is awful here too. plus 3d models of a lot of the enemies already exist from the 3ds games, and the enemies in this series really cant be done justice in 2d portraits). it wouldve meant a lot to have eoiii be elevated to the level of the 3ds games, instead we pretty much get a straight up port. its a shame we never got an untold version, or even just a normal remaster in the 3ds engine

really not a fan of this being framed as game preservation when game preservation groups have invested time and money into actually preserving these games and keeping them playable for a lot of people. like, its a cool video idea on its own, why try to make it sound noble or whatever lol

...so the game wont be playable until the end of april??? theyre just not going to address the fact that saves are being corrupted left and right? thats just great, guess im not getting iron leaves anytime soon

this looks so much like style boutique, down to the character animations. hopefully it lives up to sb, but yeah im not surprised we still havent seen a new entry in the series since syn sophia must have their hands full with primagi and idol land. if anything this will just make it harder for syn sophia to drop another style boutique game lmao

fighting tera type on a fire type... at least everyones azumarills will remain useful

at least you can get a lot of surprise shinies outside of shiny hunting. ive caught 7 so far just by playing the game normally and trying to finish the pokedex, so missing a couple bc they spawned in the walls really isnt that bad imo

as someone whose first mario kart was wii, while trying the new tracks i was so disappointed by peach gardens as it felt way more restricted and linear. it took the mayhem of the wii version (i havent played mkds) and restrained it to just the bit with the chain chomps.

......and then i got to the third lap and it makes you go backwards through the entire track. amazing, AMAZING reimagining of the track. at least in wii, the track felt so hectic, and somehow mk8dx captured that feeling perfectly not by just making a carbon copy, but by changing the fundamentals of the track. i was so surprised and i can see myself forgetting which way to turn even if i end up playing the track hundreds of times

i only saw one qr code in the hub so far, it had no other details aside from the qr code. i scanned it, all the while saying to myself "oh this is absolutely a rickroll. theres no way this isnt a rickroll". as you can guess, it ended up being a rickroll.
moral of the story is people may expect rickrolls and will instead be forced to download some inane stuff or viruses or whatever💔

its such a bummer that theyre not giving all of their games the attention they need- harvestella is an untested, poorly-written mess and its hard to believe a company with so much rpg experience would put out such a sorely unenjoyable game (and considering the nft fiasco, its safe to say they dont and wont listen to player feedback). seeing them putting out so many games while they let a really interesting concept rot in favour of other games really goes to show that theyre not equipped to deal with this many games

i feel like a lot of zero escape/infinity fans only really recommend rei jin g lu p/raging loop bc of the timeline mechanic, but honestly? gnosia is sooooo much more in line with uchikoshi works. like i would bet everything i own that the gnosia devs were fans of zero escape and infinity, would absolutely recommend gnosia over any other game (raging loops really good too though!)

the right joycon has an ir sensor, plus the switch literally has a camera thats sole purpose is detecting light. if games with gyro controls and rumble would be possible, why wouldnt games with light sensors??

i opened this article expecting the ps2 (and i believe gcn?) version, which i still go back to sometimes. its easy as hell as an adult, but somehow i hugely struggled with it as a kid lmao. now im really curious about the handheld game

lmao this is from my college, honestly we get some of the wildest surveys

not her fault that the game had awful voice direction. she best with what she was given... too bad 'what she was given' was a script that just said 'say this in an awful fake british accent'. if you want a british accent, dont cast someone who cant do one

my main issue is, they saw success with splatoons model and decided to use that for animal crossing… which makes NO sense as splatoon is an online shooter while animal crossing is a single-player game with major appeal… to children. children who likely dont know anything about configuring internet settings. chances are theres a tonne of kids out there playing the launch version of new horizons and missing out on the feature-full games the rest of us grew up with. aside from decorating your town, wild world even had more content as it didnt rely on updates to give villagers personality etc.
i get that this games target audience is people who hacked new leaf. that is abundantly clear. and thats so cool but it feels like theyve been disregarding the newcomers. i personally love this update model as it ensures a lot of surprises and keeps us interested, but its so unfair to the few players who dont know you have to update to fully enjoy the game
