Wow this is an old story that gets dug up once a year or so. I assume game publisher's wanted less cost to manufacture their games so they went with a CD based system.
As someone who feels Dragon Quest 2 is the weakest in the entire main series... and just went through this version, a score of 4 seems unjustified here.
@Smashfan502 Well I can either play console Mario Kart which have static grand prix, meaning I play them now it will always be the same courses. I play them 2 years from now, it will still be the same courses.
While with the phone, they update every 2 - 4 weeks and it feels more like a series of events. There are reverse versions, and trick versions and reverse trick versions. There's a scoring system, which while it does have a grind or a what you own aspect to it, makes me want to replay races far more than any other Mario Kart. While I enjoy Mario Kart, I don't really see the replayability in most of them like I see in Mario Kart Tour.
@KingBowser86 whatcha do is start a few contracting and construction companies. Run up bills and owe a lot of money once it's done. Then declare bankruptcy and buy it from your own company for a fraction of the cost and screwing over people who built it. Certain real estate moguls have done it for decades. Even getting loans and government grants to make it happen.
Does nostalgia mean rip off of something from 25 or 30 years ago? I thought that's what retro is. Switch online games are pure nostalgia... If I didn't play them for the past 30 years so that wipes all the old memories.
This is a Jim carrey movie first and foremost. It's all designed for him to be Ace Ventura all over again. Wow that movie is such cringe now. it is geared toward 90s kids taking their own kids to see it.
@The-Chosen-one I think Mario kart tour is fantastic outside of it's micro transactions of course. I'd much rather play Tours variety than Mario kart 8s static prix.
We can argue if the game didn't sell well or we can visit their studio to know half the company wasn't busy after the game was released so they let them go.
There are a lot of foxasvots and lucky is the best.
Well he was the narrator of that video games the movie a few years back and he's been in another video game documentary. Do you think they could be related to why he'd be in a YouTube series about video games?
From watching on Twitter right now Ninja gaiden like games are hot. They all seem to take things from one another to make each one of their games indestinguishable.
I want it but I fear $2k price tag or $4k. That and I've had awful lick with Dell laptops over the decades. After 6 or 12 months everything starts breaking. The screen the cooling fan the hinges. And these were top of the line.
@EdScissorshands not sure if we'd ever get dlc since they're concerned with selling it to people. Then again it sold out in Japan where they might have less space to go out and run. Here in the us there are lots of trails and even exercise trails with basic equipment.
